Dear Tyler,

Hi sweetheart! How are you doing on this Wednesday evening? I hope all is well and you are happy in Heaven. Mom had an off day today. I haven't been sleeping all that well the last 3 nights. I did a little housework today but not much. Had a big headache and just kind of laid low for the most part. I hope I get some sleep tonight. I really need it! I wanted to write a little letter to you before I go lay down for the evening. 
 I wanted to tell you that I read somewhere that if you come across or see a Cardinal bird near you then that means your loved ones are visiting you. I want you to know for 3 days we had 2 Cardinals around our apartment. They were on the back side near our bedroom. It was during New Years. I thought they were really pretty.. a male and a female. Now that I read that I smiled and said that it must have been you & Amy coming to wish Mark & I a Happy New Year. I hope I am right. If that was you please come visit Mom again. It would mean so much to me. I miss you so much. 
 I found some more pictures today. It was from your Birthday party 2012. There were some of you, Amy, Ron, Jeremy, Charlie, Marion, Kristi and our family. It made me so sad because in the last 6 months you, Amy & Ron have passed away. Too much loss in such a short time. I wish you all were still here. I miss talking to you 3. I miss hearing you call me Mom and telling me you love me. I miss hearing Ron call me Momma T and I miss joking & talking to Amy. 
 Last night when I walked the pups the sky was so beautiful. It was full of stars and I saw my one bright one. I talked to you for a few minutes last night. Did you hear Mom? I sure hope so. I will have to let the pups out again before the night is over so I will look to the sky and whisper to you when I see you shining up in Heaven. 
 I will write a longer letter tomorrow night. Please watch over me and our whole family. Thank you Tyler. I hope that you have a peaceful and quiet evening. Sweet dreams my precious son. I miss you like crazy and I love you more than words could ever say. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

PS. Thanks for watching over Aunt Becky & Uncle John. Received an email stating they arrived in South America late last night :)
