Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing today in the Heavens above? I am pretty sure that you are doing wonderful and are just as happy as can be. I know you are doing good things up there... wouldn't think otherwise. Mom is doing better today. Yesterday I was not doing so well. I was extremely tired and every time I went to move I was dizzy. I basically just laid on the couch all day and did nothing because I just couldn't. I did however get some sleep last night and I am doing a lot better today. I am hydrated and I am making sure that I am eating. Mark is taking very good care of me so I know you are just beaming from the Heavens knowing that he is keeping his promise and you not having to worry about Mom. 
 Yesterday and today was a rough day for many of my friends. It was Wendy's wake and funeral. Many went to say their last goodbyes and to lay her to rest. She leaves behind her dad, her sister, her brother, several cousins, nieces and nephews not to mention her husband, and her 2 children. It really is sad for Mom. Wendy and I have been friends for 28 plus years. She was the sweetest friend and she was one hell of a fighter.. just like you! She battled cancer for 8 years. She was an inspiration to many including me. If you see her in the Heavens..tell her I miss her and that she is a Hero to me...again...just like you, Tyler! Give her a hug for me too... Thanks!
 Nothing else major is going on. Did a lot of house work and rearranging in the apartment. It felt good to get rid of some things that I didn't use any longer and give to folks in this community that needed them. It is just so nice to live a simple and less cluttered life style! While cleaning I came across some of your things. It made me smile and made me sad all at the same time. Mark asked if I was ok and I said yes. He told me I gave him " that " look... guess I have a special " look " when I talk about you. I try not to cry because I know that is not what you want to see me do. I am trying... some days are just easier than others. I find myself sad and crying but then remember something that made me smile or laugh.. a happier time and I feel better. That is how I get through these days without you. Bare with me because it is not at all easy!
 Today was a warm and humid day here in Texas. The sky is overcast and cloudy now. Guess what.. yup.. more rain for us in the next 5 days... surprise surprise.. NOT! Guess I will not be seeing the stars shining brightly but I know you are up there watching over us all. I know you are one of the brightest stars. As always... I will be whispering to you as I always do. Hope you will hear Mom and be listening out for me. I miss you so much Tyler. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. Thank you for showing me what unconditional love was among all the other things you taught me. I cherish them all and always. 
 Have a wonderful night and may it be all that you want it to be. May it be all that you ever need. Sweet dreams my sweet precious son. I love you, Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
