Dear Tyler,

Hi sweetheart! How are you doing today? I hope you are well up in Heaven on this warm and beautiful Tuesday afternoon. Mom is doing well today. I am so sorry that I did not get a chance to write to you last night. I was so caught up in the moment with Bonnie arriving and getting things set for her that I finally sat down around 7 pm last night and watched tv and then went to bed. I don't think my head hit the pillow and I was out like a light. It is so nice to have a familiar face around here and someone to always talk to. Such a nice change. We haven't had company since Aunt Becky & John were here back at the beginning of November. 
 Mark & I are getting ready to leave for our mini vacation in 2 days. Wish me lots of luck going to Vegas. Maybe I will get lucky and win some money! Please be with us as we travel on Thursday & back home on Sunday. I know that you will be with us and make sure that we are safe. 
 Not much else has been going on here. Just catching up and visiting with Bonnie. We have been talking about old times, her husband Larry who passed away 1 year ago, and you, Tyler. We have been laughing, crying and just simply letting our emotions finally come out. It is nice to chat with someone who kind of knows what each other are going through. I think you would be proud of Mom. 
 Oh yeah... went and picked up my Wedding dress today. It is so beautiful. I wish that you would be able to see Mom in it on our Wedding day but I know you will see it in your own way just not Mom's way that I want it to be. I can hear you say that Mom looks so beautiful in it. Boy.. do I miss your voice. I miss you so much pumpkin. I love you with all my heart and soul. Please don't ever forget that.
 The weather is so nice outside. Sunny and warm and kind of overcast skies. I don't think I will be able to see the stars out tonight but I know that you will be shining bright just like you always do. I will be whispering to you as I always do. Be listening for Mom.
 Have a wonderful peaceful night my sweet precious son. My Angel from above. Watch over us all as you always do. Thank you so much. Fly high and fly free. Give our family and friends hugs from Mom and let them know I miss and love them too.
 I love you forever. Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
