Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son in the Heavens above. How are you doing this evening? I hope that all is well with you. Things here are going ok. Lots of hot & humid weather we have had these last few days. We also have had some pretty good thunderstorms. Loud thunder & some awesome lightning bolts to be seen. I know you hated them & were always scared because of your vent, but do you like them now? Do you actually get to see them or are you so high up above the clouds that all you see is blue skies? I often wonder that. Guess it is another question that I will have to ask when I have my 2nd reading done with Forrest. I sure do hope that you come through again. I would love the chance to hear from you!
 Things here are crazy busy. Mark works so much to provide a home for the both of us & the 2 pups. I do my best to stay on top of the house cleaning, laundry, cooking, & all that stuff. We have just purchased quite a bit for the Wedding tonight. We even placed the order for our Wedding Invitations! I am starting to get excited for all this to take place but the 1 thing that is missing is you. I wish you were here to help Mom out. I could use your opinion almost all of the time. Oh how I miss you so much. I just hope you know this!
 Tomorrow is July 4th. One of the many Holidays that you loved so much. Especially the Fireworks! I remember last year when this day came around. I didn't want to go see the fireworks because I felt I shouldn't because you were not with me and it had only been 14 days since you passed away. I did however, despite my best efforts of not seeing any...took the pups outside for a walk and they were lighting the fireworks all over the place. You could see them for miles because Oklahoma is so flat. I looked to the sky and just froze there in my spot. I remember looking up and seeing all the bright colors and how pretty they were. Before I knew it I was smiling, thinking of you with so many tears rolling down my face. This year I am not going to see them. Living in Texas is just crazy enough and we don't want to be on the road with a ton more traffic. We just plan to have a quiet evening alone and not doing anything. We probably just watch a movie or something. I know it is lame but it is the way we want it this time. If you see any fireworks, please just smile and think of Mom. Think of all the times we watched them together. We use to have so much fun. I miss those times so much. I miss everything.
 Not sure if the stars & moon will be out for Mom to see but you betcha I will be whispering to you as I always do. Hope you can hear me. I hope you have a peaceful night. Sweet dreams my precious son. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world plus so much more. You are in my thoughts, heart, body & soul forever!
 I miss you and I love you, Tyler. Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

PS. Please watch over Mom, Mark & our family & friends. Can you please also watch over my friend, Laura & her family as the next 2 days will be rough for them. Lucas' wake is tomorrow & the funeral is on Saturday. I remember those days all too well. Thanks Tyler. I love you my sweet son  = ]
