Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son. Happy 4th of July to you in Heaven.  How are you doing on this Friday evening? Here in Texas it is finally dark outside and the thunderstorms have passed us now. In the distance we can hear the fireworks going off. Don't see anything and that is ok with me. Sure was freaking hot & humid here today during the daylight hours. I believe it was almost 95 degrees. Mark & I did some shopping. We left the pups home this time because it was just too hot out for them to stay in the truck with Mark. Our neighbors are all gone for the long weekend so we are taking advantage of being able to get out and do something together for a few hours. It sure is a nice switch for us.
 Got the chance to chat with Meme for a few this evening. She was saying that the weather in NH was really nasty. Lots of rain and storms there too. Guess the fireworks are cancelled for this evening but they hope that they are able to do them Saturday night. Hampton Beach has a Tornado & Hurricane warning for the night. Hope that all is safe there as no one is used to that up North. Guess Bob isn't doing all that well but you already knew that. Please watch over Meme & Bob please. I know I don't need to write down everything that is going on because you see it before I do. What I will say is that I am worried and scared for them both. I know you will do all that you can to help. Thank you pumpkin! Please also watch over Mom, Mark, & the rest of our family & friends. We could all use the extra protection from you & the other Angels above. Thank you for this as well.
 I wanted to tell you that the Coke Company put out these soda bottles with peoples names on them. They are the regular bottle but it is really neat. Guess it is to promote share a Coke with someone. They don't have Mom's name but they do have Mark's & your name. I have asked my friends in NH to be on the look out for yours & have them send it to me. I just think it would be so neat to have. I know you would get a kick out of it! If & when I get one I will be sure to take a photo & post it on here. I know when you see it you will give 1 of your awesome smiles that I miss so very much. 
 The sky tonight is not clear and I can hear thunder in the very distance now. Looks like we will be getting round 2 of the storms. Even though I am not seeing the stars or moon shining again I know you are up there. I will whisper to you as I always do so hope you can hear Mom. Hope your evening is peaceful. Sweet dreams my sweet precious son. I love you so much and I miss you so much too. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. Forever....

 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
