Dear Tyler,

Hi sweetie! I am writing to tell you that we made it to Louisiana tonight around 5:30 pm. It was a beautiful day for a 4 1/2 hour drive. We are finally settled in our hotel room & we just got done eating dinner. We are both exhausted! I hope that you are well & are doing all the things you want to do. 
 I will write to you tomorrow & give you the last 3 daily prayers. Mom is tired & Snickers is not sure of the hotel room so he is whining a lot right now. Think I will take him for his last walk for the night. 
 I just wanted to tell you that I miss you so much & I wish I could experience all this traveling with you. I know we would have so much fun together. I know that you are with me....just in a very different way. I love you beyond words pumpkin. 
 I will be looking to the sky while I walk Snicks & I will be whispering to you. Hope you can hear Mom. I will write a longer letter in the morning. Sweet dreams my precious son.
 Forever in my heart, mind, & soul. Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

PS. Thank you for being with us on the drive & keeping us safe. Means a lot to Mom & Mark. Watch over the rest of us too.
