Dear Tyler,

Hi sweetheart, how are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom is doing better, but not completely myself yet...getting there though. I actually did some housework today and laundry. That is a good sign so I am happy with that! The weather is again overcast. This is getting so old. I want to see the sun and have it be warm again. Guess I have been spoiled living in Texas. I don't like the cold weather anymore..lol :)
 I had a good laugh today and a great memory of you when you were little. A friend of mine posted a video from youtube. It was Green Jelly's " Little Pig ". I totally forgot about how much you loved that dang song and how much you used to sing it! I remember having it on a cassette single and VHS tape for you. You would play it over and over again until I had to tell you to stop because I could take it any longer after the 50th time. Wow... it was such a nice surprise for me to have that today. I needed that. I have been very emotional and the tears have been coming and falling freely today. I guess Mom has been missing you so much more lately. Some of my other friends say that it is natural because it is just so hard the first year. I will have to agree 100 % with them. Hard isn't even the word. 
 Spoke to Grandpa today. He is doing well and enjoying his little part time job he has. It is always good to her his voice. He seems busy but happy. I miss him. I miss our family and friends and I miss you bunches. Doesn't seem possible that I haven't seen any of them or you in 6 months. Just doesn't seem possible at all. Time does go by so fast. It is scary in some ways. 
 Everything else seems to be ok. The stars will not be out again due to the lovely clouds that we seem to still be getting here, but I know my bright star is shining up there for me and I know you are watching over Mom and all our loved ones. I will whisper to you so be waiting to hear my voice. 
 I hope you have a peaceful evening and many sweet dreams up in Heaven. Tell everyone I said hello up there and that I love and miss them too. I miss you like crazy and love you to the moon and back.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
