Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this Thursday evening? I hope that you are all warm & cozy in the sun. It is still pretty cold here for the beginning of June, but at least the sun was out today. We got to take the pups out for a couple nice walks. They enjoyed it. I am so sorry that I didn't write to you last night, but we actually had company. Mark's friend Rick stopped by for a few hours to have dinner and catch up before he went to go see his wife at the hospital. It was so nice to have company. I sure do miss that a lot. I enjoyed cooking for others as you know & I rarely ever do that anymore. By the time Rick left I was so tired that I could not even keep my eyes open. Mark & Mom were up all the night before because both pups were sick. Last night Ozzy was sick again & he has been for a good part of today as well. Mom is hoping to get some solid sleep tonight. I can really use it that is for sure.
 Mom did another test for school today. I just got done with it before I started writing to you. My brain is frazzled that is for sure. It was tough. I had to do 3 more transcriptions for 3 doctors. It is giving me practice for when I start doing this as a job. It took me awhile but I finished. I know in time I will get faster & I am ok with this. 
 Mark accepted a job offer today. We have been doing a lot of thinking of what we were going to do.. either stay here or head back to Texas. After a lot of pros & cons to both offers Mom & Mark have decided that we are going to stay here. It is less money but we will still be close to family & friends & that was important to us both. We will be just fine financial wise as well so there are no worries there. We both will get medical insurance. That is a biggie. Thank you so much for all that you did on your side. I love you & I am blowing you kisses right now. I miss you so much. I wish I could give you hugs & kisses on your face. That would be the best. I wish I could just be telling you all this to your face, but we both know I can't. I just hate the month of June. In a couple weeks it will be the 2 year anniversary of your passing. These days are so tough on Mom. I am more emotional & I cry at the drop of a hat. I am trying to stay strong though. Give me some time, ok? Thanks pumpkin.
 Today, I received the proofs for your stone & bench. I cried when I saw the stone. It is absolutely perfect for you. It is just what I wanted. I know you will love it too. I hope that when you saw it you smiled & liked them. I guess once the proofs are approved it will take a couple weeks to get them in & set down at your resting place. I was hoping for it to be done by your anniversary but that won't happen so it will be in & finished for your Birthday. 
 Grandpa is having a hard time with the passing of Uncle Joe. They were close. I know he misses him greatly. If you can go help Grandpa that would be amazing. Give him extra hugs. He needs it right now. Thank you. Great Grammy is doing better today than she has the last 2 days with all the news. I am just so sad for them both & all our family. I often wonder if you have seen him yet??? I would like to think yes.
 Well, the evening sky is upon us now. The sky looks pretty clear so there may be a chance that we can see some stars & the moon shining tonight. Nevertheless I will whisper to you as I always do. Hope you will be listening for Mom's voice. I will write the daily prayers to you tomorrow as Mom has been on this computer all day today & my eyes & head are really starting to hurt me. I will have 3 to write to you in tomorrows letter. Hope you don't mind. 
 I hope you have a wonderful night my sweet precious son. May you have the sweetest of dreams if you close your eyes to rest. I hope to get some sleep tonight & see you in my own dreams. You are forever in my heart, mind, & soul. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. I miss you so much. The pain is unbearable to Mom.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
