Dear Tyler,

Good evening my pumpkin! How are you doing today? Mom is doing as best as can be. The weather is hot & humid but I am doing surprisingly better than I have in the past month & last year. Guess I am getting used to the hot weather & living down South. I am so sorry that I have not written to you in the last few nights. Friday night I helped Mark put furniture together for our loft. We got a coffee table, tv stand, & 2 end tables. I wanted to write to you but it took a couple hours & by the time we got down my back was shot, my hands were cramped & I hurt my arm where Snickers bit me. Saturday we did some shopping, had dinner, & watched a movie. I guess I was more tired than I thought because I fell asleep before the movie was over & I woke up late this morning. I hope that you can forgive me. I need to be better at writing you letters. I used to do them during the day time and after I was finished I would go make dinner. Lately I try to write to you during the evening but guess that is not working so well. Starting tomorrow I will go back to what I did before. I miss you so much & I feel closer to you Tyler when I talk to you & when I write you my letters of things that happen during the days & weeks. 
 This week will be quite busy for us. Some will be things we need to do & some things will be tough for Mom. Tomorrow will be my friend Wendy's Birthday. Can you do me a favor & give her a big hug from me? I will talk to her & wish her a Happy Heavenly Birthday myself. Tuesday will be your 24th Birthday. This will be hard for Mom as I have always spent your special day with you. Last year was tough too. I will be doing what I did last year & that is releasing balloons to you in the Heavens above. I guess you might get several balloons going up at all different times & in many states. I hope that you will enjoy them. Mom & Mark will be sending a dozen or so up to you in all your favorite colors. Please send me a sign that you got them & you were floating on them again! Other things that are going on is that I will be going for my Texas drivers license. I finally have everything that I need to go get it so I am kind of excited for this. On Friday, July 25th it was 1 year that we have lived here. Time just flies by now. Lastly, we should be getting a call from the vets saying that we can come pick up Max's ashes. I will be placing the cedar box right next to Daisy's ashes with a picture of you on them both. I will have a candle there too. When that is lit it will be for all of you. 
 Speaking of signs, I have heard on many occasions that if you find pennies on the ground you are suppose to pick them up as they are signs from your loved ones from the Heavens above being around you. In the last few nights I have found a couple pennies. When I have found them I have smiled, Mark has picked them up & I have said " Thank you Tyler, I love you ". Hope you can hear me pumpkin. 
 We have already walked Snickers for the night as he was asking to go out earlier than normal. I think he will have a short walk in him later though. I have been able to see the stars shining along with the moon. I believe that I will be able to see them again tonight as the sky was quite clear while the sun was setting. Regardless, I will be whispering to you as I always do. Hope you will be able to hear me. Tonight, I wish you a peaceful night or any kind of night that you want it to be. I always wish you sweet dreams, but honestly I don't know if you actually sleep. Guess it is a form of habit for me as that is always what I said to you nightly. Be well my sweet precious son & I know that you are doing so many wonderful things that you need to do for yourself & for others as well. Please continue to watch over Mom, Mark, & our family & friends. Fly high & fly free. You are forever in my mind, heart & soul.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
