Dear Tyler,

Hi sweetheart! How are you doing today in Heaven? I hope the skies are blue and there are no clouds in the sky. I hope the sun is shining and super warm for you so that I can picture you tilting your head up to the sun and letting the rays warm your skin like the way I remember you doing! It makes me smile just to think of this. I can picture it as if you are right in front of Mom. I am doing well today. The sun is shining here and the skies are blue for us. I guess the weekend we are suppose to be getting some heavy rain and thunderstorms. Where we lived in Oklahoma they have been in tornado warnings the past 3 days. Sure not missing that weather. Hard to believe that last year at this time we were in Oklahoma and you & I would chat on the phone during the day & skype at night. We would talk about everything. I would tell you all that I did that day to speak to folks on what I needed to do to get you down to be with Mark & I. I would keep you informed on things and get your opinion on what you thought. Now 1 year later and I have to write these 1 sided letters to you because I can't talk to you and get a response back. I can't skype with you, hear your voice, or see your face and smile. Where ever I sit in the apartment I look up to the sky and just stare. I wonder what you may be doing, where you might be, are you here watching me type you your letter, are you missing me like I am missing you? So many questions that I have with no answers in return. My heart hurts so much. I miss you terribly and I love you beyond words. 
 I received an email from Aunt Becky. She and John made it to Ecuador Wednesday night safe and sound. Said they were tired but they are enjoying the warm weather and blue skies. Please watch over them as South America has been having some really bad weather the last few days. I am the worry wart as you know. I just want them to have fun and be safe and get back home to the States in May. Just keep an eye out for them for Mom...Thanks Tyler!
 Haven't seen the stars out for the last 3 nights The days are overcast and the night sky is full of clouds but even though I can't see the stars shining I know you are up there shining brightly! I whisper to you regardless. I hope you can hear me. I am hoping that tonight's sky will be full of stars seeings how the sky is cloudless. I hope so. I feel that when I can see them I know you are there and watching over us. It is a validation for me. 
 I hope that you have a wonderful afternoon and a peaceful evening. Fly high and fly free Tyler. I miss you so much and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. Sweet dreams my precious son and Angel above. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
