In times where we have been separated by distance, I have ever left yous with the phrase, "Recall Whose you lot are" to remind you that you are non simply the oldest child of Chris and Melinda Tyler but more than importantly a Kid of God.  While we are excited to see what your futurity holds, we know that His plans have been fabricated for y'all since earlier you were born.

    Although your senior twelvemonth in high school has been unusual and you have finished without the traditional pomp and circumstance, your achievements are not lessened. Much like I celebrate my birthday all calendar month long, I requite you lot and all members of the class of 2020 permission to celebrate for the rest of the yr! 😊

Christiana Hannam, Booker T. Washington Magnet

Honey Christiana,

    I experience helpless to put in words the honor you deserve. It is like honoring a rose for existence fragrant and beautiful. How does one actually say that?

    How practice you lot take four classes in a twelvemonth and walk away with a 100 in each of them? Yous have been and so honoring of your teachers, coaches, parents and the very life in your easily.

    After Mom died when you lot were iv, I asked her doctor why he had been willing to be available to her 24/vii/365 for two years, every bit she battled to live and be with us. He responded, "It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." He felt so honored and inspired by Mom, and the love in our family, that he returned (and multiplied) the accolade.

    This is what I encounter in you lot: A very capable and gifted immature adult female who runs the race to win; non to trounce others simply to deliver yourself wholly and honestly to the course in front of you. That is a profound gift of honor to every teacher, friend and relative that sowed into your life; and to yourself. You deserve honor.

    Beyond your excellent mind; your able-bodied talent; your cute conscience; your respect of those who take gone before, gone with and are coming later; your emotional balance; your fascination with learning; your delight in the quirky; your genuine love; and a very mature wisdom; you possess more.

    You have a unique and special "song" within you. You possess a spiritual life, wholeness and joy that undergirds it all. Information technology opens your eyes and centre to all the wonder and mystery around the states. It has been born and nurtured equally you take said "Yep," again and again, to the Ane who fabricated you. You accept said "Aye," to what Dr. Starks at BTW recorded in her song for the 2020 grads: "Meant to Be."

    Concussions took away much of what you hoped to bask in High School. A fire stole your school. A budget stole your magnet. A pandemic chopped it all off early on. And the Life within you lot arose again.

    I often bow my head with a nifty shame for what my generation is handing off to yours; but in that location is null more hopeful in the globe to me than to watch yous find, embrace, and manifest joy with such a commitment to excellence.

   Information technology is a peachy joy to be your dad — to love you more each day — and to let yous go — trusting God and trusting yous with this precious life.

    Congratulations for a grade well run. BTW Potent. "Christiana:" All-powerful One.

    I retrieve the day this picture was taken. We were on the quad at the University of Alabama enjoying the pregame activities which included inflatables and a pep rally.

    I made sure that we got shut to the steps of the library for the rally, and as the One thousand thousand Dollar Band cued up, I leaned into your father and said, "Scout her."

    The offset few blasts of the horns hit the air, and your grin filled your little face and traveled throughout your entire frame. You had learned to sing, "Yea Alabama," as soon as you could string together sentences, but this was the beginning time you witnessed a marching band up shut and experienced the fight song as it was intended.

Dear Jonah,

    Nosotros blinked and you were born. Nosotros blinked again, and you were running.

Now, you stand earlier us as a high school graduate. We thought we had loftier expectations of you, and still they weren't high enough for your liking. You have exceeded them with vigor. To say nosotros are proud of you lot would non practise justice to how we feel. We are in awe of you.

    Every bit a graduate of BTW Magnet High School, disappointment and tragedy are not unknown to you. Afterward watching the school you loved burn, your heart broke, just you lot rallied behind your school motto, "We shall ascension." Yous came dorsum stronger and more than determined to attain your goals. Teachers and students came and went. More disappointments came in your life with the deaths of dear family members. But you kept the faith. And then yous landed a role in Scarlet at the Shakespeare Festival. You worked so hard and the show was a great success. Merely alas, it was cut curt due to the pandemic, forth with prom, senior trip, and graduation. Nosotros couldn't have imagined that your journey would have had and then many bumps in the road, but we never doubted that you would reach your destination. Your resilience and positive mental attitude accept been an inspiration to then many.

We have no dubiousness that you volition approach the side by side phase of your life with the same vigilance and tenacity. Greatness is within you and the world will exist amend for it.

    The time has come, you accept completed your high school journey and life awaits. When you lot were built-in, graduation day seemed a meg stars away. I feel like we walked hand in mitt with your beginning steps merely a few days ago. Bed stories were replaced with homework, baby steps with keys to the car and Kindergarten turned into a cap and gown.

    It doesn't seem that long agone that you were only a babe. I think in Kindergarten when yous pulled the fire alarm at school (luckily it was after school was dismissed). I retrieve camp outs, Pinewood Derbys, family unit vacations and holidays. It all went past so quickly. Nosotros are so proud of the immature human being you take become. Remember, life is a marathon, non a sprint. When yous became a Cub Scout becoming an Eagle Scout seemed so far away. When you started Kindergarten high school graduation seemed so far away. When you began martial arts, becoming a black belt seemed then far away. I bet you don't even realize how many goals you take already achieved. Keep that same perseverance, never requite upwards, and never quit learning and you volition be a huge success. I wish I could change your senior year and I hate that it ended and then abruptly. We are so very proud of you for everything that you've accomplished. Nosotros can't expect to see what the futurity has in store for you and we wish you nothing just the best. We are your biggest fans. We love you more than you lot will ever know.

Malachi,

    Your graduation is a milestone and twenty-four hours we have envisioned for many years. On the start day of each schoolhouse twelvemonth I would always say it's getting closer and smiled. My smiling was in anticipation of your graduation day. I cried the first 24-hour interval I dropped you off at Due west Jasper Elementary school for your outset mean solar day of Pre-Thousand even though it was but half a day. How it broke my center to leave you lot in the care of someone else, but I prayed for your protection. By your first solar day of kindergarten, you would have thought I had gotten used to dropping y'all off even so over again, I was crying. Even once you made information technology to showtime and 2d grades and all the way to fifth form, I nevertheless dropped you off with a lump in my pharynx. When we transitioned to Montgomery, in the middle of your 5th-class year all the fears of dropping you lot off at school came again as if it was the first time. I sent you off to catch the school bus, you assured me everything was fine. Took a picture, said I love you lot and yous were off, showing me, you could do this without me. And with every milestone that comes throughout elementary school, middle school, high schoolhouse, at that place remained a lump in my throat. I have ever anticipated graduation solar day.

    Crazy thing my handsome son, I think I have cried more your starting time 24-hour interval of your senior yr than whatsoever other day of all your school years. I watched yous walk away from the car over a one thousand thousand times before simply this time a million memories came rushing. The twenty-four hours you were born, your first birthday, your beginning words, your first school trip the light fantastic, your outset football, and then many memories. But this was your first mean solar day of your final year of schoolhouse. You were no longer the one to make sure I was OK, or the one guarding my bed when I was sick or my "pain in the barrel." You were at present becoming a young human.

    The countdown begun, and although many memories of your senior yr have been taken abroad, this is one that — although different from the traditional  —will still remain a very memorable one. We are extremely proud of the young man you lot accept go. Y'all have taught usa many lessons forth the mode. Keep to make united states proud. Our tears are complicated, these tears you lot encounter aren't tears of sorrow only tears of joy, excitement, and anticipation and of the purest beloved any human can e'er know.

Congratulations to you son, and the Form of 2020.

Honey,

Shawna Brown, Brewbaker Technology Magnet

Shawna,

    You were made for greatness and God has big plans for You. You ARE a Promise with a Upper-case letter 'P'. When I establish out I was meaning with you, it was September ten, 2001, the day before the world stopped turning, the day before 9/11. Being born into a Military family, that meant yous were born into a world of "when, not if," equally nosotros lived with the possibility of a deployment, as we faced the everyday never knowing when orders would driblet. We almost lost you to RSV as a baby. The nurses told the states you were the happiest sick baby they had e'er seen. Being the youngest sibling to two children with special needs added another layer of unique circumstances to your world. You grew up with a deeper level of pity, of seeing those who need help more than than others. Your childhood was surrounded with those who most of the world sees every bit broken, disabled, or simply doesn't come across at all. At the precious historic period of ten years old, we watched and cried as you lost your all-time friend to cancer, completely helpless to protect you from grief at such a immature age. You accept faced bullying issues, betrayals by those you lot thought were your friends. Your sophomore yr brought that deployment nosotros knew would someday come up, and you lot had to adjust to life without your daddy, your hero.You lot fought hard and have overcome many personal trials and challenges over the years. We have watched with awe as you gave upwardly Saturdays to volunteer as a buddy for Miracle League baseball, and heard stories of yous helping a classmate who is blind. Your choices over the years for customs service credits for Bridge Builders accept been connected to the Special Needs customs, and to the needy — loving on those that many choose not to see.

    Y'all have given upwardly so much over the years, and nosotros wish with ALL that we are, that we could give you dorsum your senior year, your prom, graduation, and the seemingly simpler moments that you ache for. The signing of yearbooks, the saying goodbye to dear teachers, staff and friends. Your senior year ended without closure or goodbyes, with a whimper instead of a whirlwind of milestones and celebrations, with a mixture of heartbreak, sadness, promise, and pride. Your proper noun means God'southward gracious gift, and on the 24-hour interval before the globe stopped turning, God gave us y'all, a reason to hope in the darkness. You are our sunshine, we are proud of you. Get chase your dreams, stay gilded, and equally yous spread your wings, know that we will always be your biggest fans.

We love you Always,

Mom and Dad
