Dear Tyler,

Good afternoon my sweet son in Heaven. I hope today is a day that you are celebrating in the sky above because it is St. Patrick's Day and you are Irish! Mom is having a very rough day today. Lots of sadness fills the air for me. Today is a very warm and sunny day here in Texas but my heart is heavy. On this day 25 years ago Pepe passed away. I still remember the day like it was yesterday when Meme came into the school and told me. How my heart hurt that day and every day since. I miss him very much. He was a hard worker, a fun and joking kind of guy. Wise too! Please when you see him today in the Heaven above give him a hug for Mom and tell him that I love and miss him ( Nana too! ). Mom is also sad because last night when I came on the computer I was told that a sweet dear friend of mine for the last 28 years lost her battle to cancer. She was admitted in the hospital at DHMC last Wednesday, March 12th and those last 5 days were so hard on her. She passed around 7:00 ish ( pm ). My heart hurt again because her & I just spoke just a few days before she was admitted. Again life just shows me how precious it really is and to live your life to the fullest. She was a sweet friend and a loving wife and mother. I will never forget that weekly she would check in on me to see how I was doing. She always said she worried about me after you passed away. If you see Wendy up there in Heaven show here around and show her the ropes. Tell her that I love her and that she will always remain in my heart. She, like you Tyler was a true HERO to me and so many others in this world. Give her a big hug for Mom too. Thanks :)
 I really just don't know what to say today. I am just having a tough time dealing with all this sadness and loss that has happened in the last 9 months. First you passing and then so many others following you.... Larry, Ed, Rick, Ron, Amy, and now Wendy. My heart continues to hurt and not heal. I am at loss for words..something that never happens.. I know! My head hurts, my eyes hurt, my body hurts, and my heart hurts :(
 I know I promised you a longer letter today but due to all the things happening and the way that I feel. I think it is best that I stop now and try again tomorrow when I have got more sleep and my head is clearer. I know you understand fully.
 I hope you have a peaceful day & night. I will be looking to the sky tonight for the stars to be shining brightly. I hope they are out for me to see. I could really use it! Regardless I will be whispering to you, Pepe, & Wendy tonight so I hope everyone will be listening and hearing me. I miss you so much and I love you unconditionally Tyler. To the moon and back and all the way around the world. Fly high and fly free. Continue to watch over us all and continue to do all the wonderful things you are needing and wanting to do in Heaven. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
