Dear Tyler,

Hello my sweet son. How are you doing today? I hope that all is well in Heaven. Mom is doing alright. I am so sorry that I didn't write you a letter yesterday. I guess I wasn't feeling like myself all day. I didn't care to do anything and I actually didn't start doing anything until 3 pm. It was just a really off day for me. Guess I will have days like that but I hope that they won't be to often. I really didn't like the feeling at all. 
 Today is Bean's Birthday so make sure you go say Happy Birthday Brat to her but do not scare her! I can't believe that she is 22 years old. I remember the day that Aunt Becky went into labor with her. Boy was that a long time and pure hell for us all. Bean just didn't want to come out. Sounds like someone else I know.... You were just as stubborn :)
 Things here is Texas are going about the same. Mark and I are doing well. The pups are just being themselves as always. Max is getting so old. He mostly sleeps now. Eats when hungry and drinks when thirsty. Goes outside when needed. Snickers sleeps a lot too. He doesn't play as much as he used to with his toys. Every once and a while he will get some energy and play, but that is it. Snicker still tends to be grumpy and growls a lot at us all. No biting though... that is a good thing. We are enjoying the Winter here. It is just so nice. 50 & 60's during the day and 35 to 40 during the night. I am enjoying not having any snow thats for sure. I know that Mark is enjoying it as well and the pups seem to be happy too. We try to take them for a walk daily. Good exercise for us all. Mom is going nuts because of the 2 weeks being sick and then needing to let my leg heal I haven't been able to exercise for 3 weeks and I am going insane. I actually miss it! I had so much energy and felt great when I could. I am hoping that I will be able to start next week. It would be nice! 
 I haven't been able to tell you even though I believe that you already know but we will be leaving Texas soon and moving again. Mark's contract is going faster than expected so we needed to secure work for when it happens. The move will take place sometime around July/ August when the weather is good. I again believe that you already know where we are going so I don't feel the need to say it on here at this time. When it gets closer to the move I will be sure to share it with everyone else. 
 There is something else that will be taking place next year as well. Next December 20th Mark and I will be making it official and we will be getting married. I know this makes you so happy and I know that you are hugging us both. You loved Mark and we all knew this. We all knew how you felt about him. Mark and I will NEVER forget our last conversation with you and what you said. That is forever in our mind and in our hearts. It was the sweetest thing for you to say to Mark and for Mom to hear. Brought tears to both of us. Still does when I think about it. I thank Amy every day for introducing us to Mark. I think I finally got this one right. I am truly in love with Mark. He completes me and I believe he is my soul mate. We hardly ever argue and our lives are drama free. We have learned to listen to other people and their problems but not get into it and try to fix them and make them our own. I wish I would have learned this so many years ago. I could've saved myself from a ton of heartache. Everything happens for a reason and in the time frame it is supposed to. I will fill you in on all the Wedding details as we discuss them as we know. I want you to know that the Wedding will not be the same because you and Amy will not be there with us in the physical form that day. I will tell you that I have something very special for the 2 of you though. It will be done in love and in honor to you both. More on that later though!!!
 The weather is overcast and cloudy AGAIN... ugh! I did not see any stars last night when going outside with the pups. I am hoping I get to see them tonight. I know you are there shining brightly for Mom to see. I know you watch over us and all our family and friends. Thank you for all that you do. It means so much to me and I know it means a lot to everyone else too. Be listening for Mom when I whisper to you tonight. I miss you so much and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. It was always you and I against the world..now as you want Mom to say it is you and I for the world!!! Always & forever. Have a wonderful peaceful night my precious son. Sweet dreams and fly high and fly free up there. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
