My Favorite Vegan

Tyler,

Its Jimmy. Sending this message really makes me smile because I know that you were a person who was loved by your family and you gave every ounce of love right back to them. I‘ll always remember first meeting you and having small talks about your future. Also, the funny side-eye faces you’d give me when your mother would try to preach to you about something she felt you and I could talk about. The time I remember the most is us having that last talk on Super Bowl Sunday and you told me you were ready to do something “different.” It’s obvious now that it was music but you said, “I want to start back eating right cuz I like salads… And I used to be vegan.” Tyler, we laughed for like 20 minutes about that because you said you were only vegan for a week! Too funny my man!

Its really hard to know you’re not here to see your mother living a wonderful life as a married woman, watching Faroh grow into a young man and good athlete, and most of all enjoying that time with your cousins. To be honest, I see your wristband every morning when I wake up and think about you telling me about being vegan but going into Sel’s room and playing Uno with the little ones. That’s who you were and that’s what I’ll always remember. Tyler, you’re missed and you’re loved.

Jimmy
