Re: The RFC and 'Tyler'
Tyler, seeing you on the news and reading about you in the paper has truely touched my heart in so many ways.
As I get older I feel more pressures of life, and the stresses I feel fail to compare to what you have had to and will have to continue to go through. You are an inspiration, and at such a young age, it is a credit to you and your family, and gives us people with smaller problems plenty to think about.
Seeing you wearing your Richmond jumper and with your favourite Tiger toy, makes me so proud to have as part of the Tiger family. No matter what you endure through your life, you will, like the rest of us be fortunate enough to have the Tiger Passion running through your veins, and together we will be riding the rollercoaster that is Richmond right beside you.
I hope you make a speedy recovery from this curveball in life, and from having witnessed your gorgeous smiling face and seeing your upbeat attitude, I'm sure you will succeed in life. Whatever hurdles life throws at you.
Just remember buddy, you are one up on so many of us in that you have had the Richmond Football Club Captain and Vice Captain come and visit you at your house.
Your inspiration and story has touched many people. Even non Richmond supporters. That proves that the Aussie spirit is well and truly with you from all accross the board, and know that when times get tough, we all admire your courage and determination, and believe that you will be able to overcome them. I for one, wish i was half as strong as you.
Once again Little Tiger man, good luck with a speedy recovery, and also to your parents, who I know are extremely proud of you, we are here with you to help in any way possible.
