Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this Monday evening? I hope that all is well wherever you are & whatever you may be doing. Mom is completely exhausted. As you have been able to see the last 48 hours have been pure hell for Mom & Mark. We finally got the little guy Ozzy on Saturday evening. That was so not fun at all. He was actually pretty good when we got home but when sleepy time hit it was terrible. He cried & cried all night so Mark finally got up & took him to the living room so that Princess could sleep. Yesterday they were both as good as to be expected but again night time was awful. He cried & cried again every 10 minutes. We finally put him in the bed with us. He slept on & off again but not much. The last 48 hours I have only got like 4 hours of sleep. Mark has gotten a little more but not much. I am so sorry that I haven't written to you but that is why. I tell ya I didn't know what we were getting into with having 2 pups again. Sometimes it is fun but most of the time it is quite tough. It is really worse than having a new born. At least they sleep for a few hours at a time. I can't wait to watch Ozzy grow up but I wish it would get here now...lol! 
 This weekend is Easter. We are planning on going to see our family up North. I sure wish once again that we were able to see you. This is our 2nd Easter apart & I can't stand it. I miss you so much. Holidays are just not the same for us. I miss buying you all kinds of candy & trinkets for your basket. I miss seeing your face when you saw your loot! Remember when we did the egg hunt for you? That is the year you got your 1st computer. You were so happy. I think you were 5 years old. The memories I have with you are incredible. I just wished I had so many more but I am so thankful everyday for the ones we did have together! I can't wait to see Grandpa, Debbie, Meme, Bob, Great Grammy & a few others this weekend. I haven't seen most of them since December. Been way to long. I miss them too. I hope that you come to visit us so that we can share the day with you too in the way that you can now. I look forward to your signs when I get them. It makes me feel so close to you. Just like I do when I write to you.
 Have a couple things for you today. I hope that you go & visit your cousin Elizabeth. It is her 17th Birthday. I can't believe how old y'all have gotten. I remember when Auntie Ann had her. Your Dad & I were not together at the time but I always saw pictures. She has become a beautiful young lady. She looks a little like Uncle Ray & Auntie Ann. Second, I wanted to tell you that Ryan Nass...your buddy is in the ICU in Cheshire Medical Center in Keene. He was admitted last night for vomiting blood. They did some testing on him today & found some old ulcers & a tear in the stomach but those were all old injuries. They are not sure what is going on right now. I have said some prayers for him & I know that you will be with him too. I hope that he is fine & gets discharged soon. Lastly, I wanted to let you know that we still need your magic with these pups please. Help Ozzy sleep through the night so we can get rest & help Princess with her anxiety so she won't be so jumpy around him & us. Thanks Tyler. It is very much appreciated. 
 Today was a crappy day as it snow again. It was cloudy the rest of the day so I know we wouldn't see the moon & the stars tonight but I know as always you are shining brightly no matter where you are. I did see the stars & moon yesterday. I whispered to you, did you hear Mom? I hope so. I will whisper to you tonight as well so be listening out for my voice. I love you with all my heart & soul. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You will forever be in my heart, mind, & soul my sweet precious son. 
 Oh yeah.. to of Mom's favorite quotes: " Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away! "  We had that quote in our place in Texas. I would always read it as we walked up the stairs to the apartment. I would always think of all the moments that we had together & how much they made me happy! 
 The 2nd quote is " Life is a story only you hold the pen. " Had this one in the Texas place too. It is so true. Life is exactly what you make of it. 
 Hope you like these as much as I do! Sweet dreams tonight to you. I hope to get some sleep & see you in my own. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
