Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you today on this Thursday afternoon? I hope it is all that you ever want it to be and that you are flying high and flying free with all the best and rest of them in the Heavens above. I hope ( and know ) that you are doing all kinds of great things up there in the sky. I am sure you are one busy guy! I have absolutely no doubt in my mind! You were amazing and you always will be. You will forever be in my heart and soul. I miss you bunches Tyler and I love you to the moon and back!
 Mom is doing as well as can be expected. Trying to stay busy daily so my mind does not wander. I find if I have time to think I get all emotional and I tend to cry more often. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with letting your feelings show, or cry but I just don't want to constantly do it anymore. I want to live my life for me and for you. I want to do things that I know we both would want. I want to ALWAYS keep your memory alive. I hope that you understand all that I am saying. I think about you all day, every day, I look at your pictures and smile and cry, I talk to you throughout the day and I know I always will. You have and will always be my everything.
 I wanted you to know I was watching American Idol last night and one of the guys had to sing " I don't want to miss a thing " and I looked up at your picture on the wall and I started to smile with a tear in the corner of my eye... I remember every time that song came on you would stop and sing it out loud to your hearts content. I closed my eyes last night and I could see you sitting there and I could hear you sing it in my mind. I remember you always said you thought of Ashley on that song. How I wish I could have that time back. How I wish I could hear you sing it out loud right now so I could be right here witnessing it. I know that can not be but I will always have that and so many wonderful years and memories to cherish of you and of you & Mom. Thank you for all the fun and special times we had.
 The weather here is beautiful again. Mild humidity but tolerable for the most part. The sun is shining and the skies are blue. I am hoping that when we take the pups for their nightly walks I will get to see the stars shining brightly like I did last night! I look forward to this every evening. I look forward to seeing you shining brightly in the skies above and knowing that you are up there watching over us and our family & friends gives me so much comfort. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the things you do. That's my sweet boy that I love so much!
 I hope that you have a wonderful evening and that it is all that it needs to be and all that you want it to be. Give everyone up there hugs for me and tell them I miss them too. I will whisper to you tonight so I hope you will hear Mom. Miss you and love you my sweet precious son. Forever!!!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
