Dear Tyler,

Today wasnt a great day as you know. Uncle Dick was rushed to the hospital because he couldnt breathe. I called him later this evening and he sounded good. I know you heard me when I asked you to go be with him and take care of him. Thank you pumpkin. Besides that.... today was just like any other day. Got up, took a shower, and put on a happy face for the world. Mark bought me a book with lots of inspirational quotes in it. I plan on sharing them with you and everyone else. Maybe 1 a night in closing or at the beginning of each letter to you. Aunt Shirley was telling me that the flowers Mark, your Dad & I bought for you are all droopy because of the rain. She is going to put some other flowers there to replace those. I hear that lots of people are going to visit you and talk to you. That makes me so happy. I wish that I could. I wish we lived closer so I could go every day. Please know that I did what I did for the family and friends back home. Dad has part of you with him in California and I have part of you around my neck in a 4 Leaf Clover charm. I talk to you every morning and every night. I kiss the pendant daily. I look at your pictures constantly. I miss you so much. When I am outside....day or night I always look up to the sky and wonder what you are doing or where you may be at that time. I just want you to be free and to be happy. I want the best for you and always have. You are my everything and always will be. I will forever love you. Always & forever. You are my HERO! Sweet dreams pumpkin. Continue to watch over us all. Love always, Mommy xoxoxo
