Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday evening? I hope that it is warm & sunny were you are because it is everything but here. It is cold, damp, and rainy. Just a blah day. So today is Groundhog Day and yep you guess it... the dang rodent has predicted 6 more weeks of Winter. Everyone up North is a little angry at this. They have had such a cold bitter Winter this year. I feel bad for them. We have had cold temps but nothing like they are having that's for sure. Today is also Superbowl Sunday. I am watching the 3rd quarter as I am writing your letter. It is Seattle Seahawks vs Denver Broncos.. it is not game.. it is a slaughter. The score right now is 29 -0. The commercials sucked this year too. The only thing so far that is great was the Half Time Show. It was Bruno Mars and Red Hot Chili Peppers. It was good, clean and one of the better ones in a very long time. I was impressed! Anyways...
 Today was a pretty basic day for Mom. Din't do to much because of the weather. It was raining so hard that we couldn't even go for our usual long walk with the pups. We kind of just didn't do anything all day. Did however play a game of Chess and I won. I think I am getting the hang of it. Mark says that I am doing really good. I told him I had a good teacher in both him and you  :). I really like playing Chess and I regret that I was never able to learn it with you. I would have loved the chance to play with you. It would have been an Honor. You were such a great player. I know you see me play and you are proud of me!
 Mom hasn't been feeling well again and I have been in the bathroom most of the night. Went in and the score was 29 -0 still...came out and it is 43 - 8. Wow... is all I can say. Not a good night for Broncos fans! 11 minutes left of the game... my guess is that Seattle is going to win...lol! I really wish that you were here so we could be chatting abut this. I know you would have so much to say! You also were so good at picking the Football Teams and such. I remember all the time I would hear you yelling at the tv during the game. It still to this day makes me smile & laugh. I just wish you were here. I miss you so much, Tyler. More than I could ever express to you or anyone. It is just not possible for anyone to know how I feel.
 I won't be able to see the stars tonight due to the clouds and overcast sky. I know you will be shining so bright up there and if you could you would let me see you. I will be whispering to you as I always do. Be listening for Mom. I love you so much. Please continue to watch over us all. Thank you for all you do. That you for being you my sweet precious son. You continue to amaze me daily. Keep up the great job in Heaven. Tell everyone hello for me. I miss them too.
 I hope you have a wonderful night. Sweet dreams. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
