Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son. How are you doing today? For Mom the weather matches my mood. It is dark, overcast & cloudy. My heart is hurting for so many reasons today. I awoke to the news about Ron Nepo. I was so sadden to hear that he passed away. I know you already knew what was happening. Ron was such a kind and gentle soul.. just like you. I was honored to have known him and liked spending time with him when I went to visit you. He was an excellent roommate to you and vice versa... you to him. He would always tell me he was watching over you for me when I couldn't be there. After you passed I would write to him on FB but never got a response. Jeremy would keep me updated on him and how he was doing. No one ever called me " Momma T " before Ron and no one ever will again. That made me smile. I am not sure of all the details as to what happened and I am not sure I want to but what I do know is he was at DHMC in the ICU and being treated for Pneumonia. That is what you were treated for before you passed. Makes my heart sad and sick to see someone else from that facility suffer like that. I wrote a little something on Ron's timeline and on his daughter Leah's timeline. I know that you were there awaiting his arrival to Heaven. I know that you will show him the ropes when he is strong enough to get on his feet and fly high and free like you do. I told Ron to please give you a hug and kiss from me and to let you know I miss you so much. Do me a favor and tell Ron that I was honored to have met him 2 years ago. Thank him for all he did and give him a hug for me too. I know his family and friends will miss him but everyone also knows that there is no more suffering and he can be at peace now. Like you... there are no longer restrictions for him. He is no longer confined to a wheelchair or ventilator. I know Ron will watch over his family and friends just like you watch over all of us. I know everyone will grieve for him as we still do for you. It is not an easy process. It is a day to day thing and some days are better than others. His entire family are in my prayers. 
 Mom hasn't done much today. Just kind of " hung around " all day. Just not in the mood. The hearing of Ron just made me go back to the days of losing you. The whole ordeal.. all over again. It hurts. I hurt. I miss you so much Tyler. So does your family and friends. Meme was telling me that Spencer and his GF left today and are moving to Florida. They stopped by to say their goodbyes. Meme gave Spencer your " Jack " Christmas Stocking and he dropped to his knees and cried. He said he would cherish it forever. I know you already know this too, but he is going to be a Daddy. His GF is 6 or 8 weeks pregnant. He will be a good Dad. He misses you. Talks about you all the time. You 2 were the best of friends. Brother as you would say. You, Spencer, & Adam. I remember you 3 as kids with Brett. Those were the times. I found a bunch of pictures of you boys. They made me smile. 
 It is cloudy tonight so I wont get to see my bright star but I will whisper to you as I usually do. I wish you many sweet dreams. I miss you so much. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. Enjoy your reunion with Ron. Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
