Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing today? I bet that it us sunny and beautiful up there in the Heavens. It is sunny here and nice and cool. In the 60's today. I will take it!!! Mom is doing ok. Really tired though. Sleeping last night was a little rough for me. Didn't get much. I am healing nicely from the shingles. It has been 6 days and I am well on my way of a speedy recovery!!! Mark is doing well and the pups are just fast asleep on the floor and couch. They are enjoying the nice weather too. I don't think they are missing the cold and snow at all. As usual..as I write to you Snickers is laying right next to me. It is like he knows what I am doing. I know he misses you so much, so does Max but not as much as Mom does. 
 I can't believe that last Friday was 6 months that you passed. Doesn't seem that long but yet 6 months have gone by.... time I guess is really flying by. Every day is so hard living without you in my life. I miss you so much. I miss our conversations, laughing with you, playing games with you, even fighting with you. I miss everything. I miss being a Mom.. your Mom! I know they say time heals all wounds and with time it gets easier.... I would like to know when that starts. I am waiting... all I know is that it gets harder and harder every day. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I don't know. 
 I know that I will be able to see the stars tonight because there is nothing but blue skies out there. I will be looking for the one bright star.. I will be looking for you. I will whisper to you like I do every night. I hope you hear me. I miss you so much. I love you with all my heart and soul. To the moon and back. Watch over Mom and the rest of your family and friends. Have a wonderful night and I hope you have many sweet dreams. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
