Dear Tyler,

How are you doing my precious son? I hope you are well. Today has been an interesting day for Mom. Been up fairly early today because for some odd reason Snickers is scared of thunder and decides he has to go to the bathroom all over the place when he hears the noise. Not sure what this is all about but it is definitely concerning seeings how it rains here often and thunders quite a bit. I also have been putting together Halloween candy for the kids tomorrow. Trick or treating is so different here. Anyone who wants to give out candy must put them in the little decorative bags and bring them to the office. The children that are going out go to the office to get the bags instead of going door to door. I guess folks here feel that it is much safer than the way we are used to doing it. I was remembering all the times I took you out around the park. How much fun you had and how cold it used to get. More memories for me to cherish. It made me smile to think of all the costumes you chose and what they were. Lets see if I can remember some of them for you: Pumpkin, Dalmatian Fire Dog, Dragon, TMNT ( red one~ Raphael ), 2 years of Power rangers, Red M & M, Vampire, Pirate, Jack from Nightmare Before Christmas, & the Puppet from the " Saw " movies. That is 11 years worth. You wanted to stop going out at an early age because you felt you were too old. You rather hand out candy to the kids instead. I remember that our tradition was me not cooking and we would always order pizza for dinner. It was easier for us all. Do you remember the time Mom dressed up as Mrs. Potts from Beauty and the Beast? That costume was so big. I couldn't even fit through the door. You laughed at me but told me I was cute! I don't have that costume any longer but I do remember it so well. I used to have pictures of that but not sure where they went..lol! Would love to see them again though :) Anyways...
 Don't know if you saw it or not but Megan got more done of her sleeve tattoo. She has a flower on the shoulder blade, then a dove, and a retro microphone. It looks really cool. Great detail. I asked her yesterday what it meant. She said that it was going to be a tattoo that represented all the things she loved. The dove however is in memory of you. I thought that was so special and it touched me a great deal. I told her that was so sweet and you would be so proud of her for that. I think it is very fitting.. you are flying high and flying free now while watching over us all. Make sure to go visit her and let her know you are honored by what she did. I know it would mean a lot to her. She misses you just like we all do but not as much as Mom does. I love you so much that it hurts sometimes.
 Aunt Becky called me today. They were in Virginia at that point. She said that they would be driving to Nashville, TN and spending the night there. They would be back on the rode tomorrow and be here in Texas by Friday early morning. I can't believe that the time has finally come to have company and for Mom to get her car. Please watch over them and make sure they arrive here safely. Thanks pumpkin. It means a lot. I know you won't let anything happen to any of us. I wish you were here with us obviously, but because I know that cant be I know I have the BEST and most special Guardian Angel watching over me now. 
 I hope that you have a wonderful evening. I wish you many sweet dreams tonight. Continue to watch over Mom and the rest of our family & friends. I will whisper to you tonight when I see my bright shining star. Be listening for me. I miss you so much and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
