Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you today on this Sunday afternoon? I hope all is well in Heaven and you are smiling your Cheshire grin to all! It is finally sunny today in Texas! It is 60 degrees here as well. It was so nice to just walk outside today. Weatherman said that by the end of the week it is going be 75 - 80 degrees and more sun! I am extremely happy about this! 
 Back home in NH they did indeed get snow last night and today. Depending on where you live in New England it appears that anywhere from 12 - 18" were dropped on them! I saw some pictures that friends posted of the storm and the snow looks pretty and nice but that is all. I am not missing that one bit! 
 We were suppose to go out today and do some shopping for the family back home so that they will have a surprise Christmas but we didn't end up going out. Mark hurt his shoulder this morning and he is in some serious pain from it. We will go out this week and do the shopping. It was nice to have another down day for me. I missed almost all of this week due to Mom being so sick. I needed to play catch up with house work and laundry so it all worked out in the end. It will be nice to go shopping though. I think what we are doing will bring a smile to your face. I know you approve. It is something that you wanted to do a couple years back. I remember you talking to me about it. It made me smile. You were the most unselfish person, Ty. You thought of others before yourself and you wanted everyone to come first before you. I never did that though. You were and always will be my number one. 
 Oh, before I forget again.... Aunt Shirley had bought you some Candy Canes to put at your resting place but she realized they couldn't put them there because of the snow and plowing during the Winter months so she said that she would bring them down to you when some of the snow melts so that you can see them! I thought was so sweet of her. We love Candy Canes! Every time I eat one I think of you and it puts a smile on my face. I am continuing to design your stone and bench so that it can be ordered and put down there in early Spring at the cemetery for all to enjoy when they visit you. I am looking at images of Jack & Zero. I want to make sure I get the perfect one for you. I know it will make you smile either way. You deserve the best and that is exactly what you will get..nothing less!
 I know tonight I will be able to see the stars for the first time in like 3 weeks. I will definitely be looking to the sky so I can see you shining brightly up there in the Heavens. Be listening to Mom whispering to you. I miss you so much and I love you to the moon and back. Watch over us all here. Thank you for all you do. Big hugs and kisses to you my precious son. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
