Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son. How are you doing today on this Friday afternoon? Mom is hoping that you are somewhere sunny & warm so the rays of sunshine are on your face. I know that made you smile & it makes Mom smile to remember that vision. Mom is doing well. I have had a productive day so far. I have done housework, laundry, Mark did the trash, bathed the pups, submitted another test today for school, & now writing to you. We are waiting the arrival of Marion & Charlie as they are coming down for the weekend. They were originally going to New Jersey but their plans changed so they decided to get away still & come visit us for a few days. I am happy as we will have company. Been 5 months since we have had anyone here!
 I wanted to write to you now because I know that I will not have the time later as we will be playing hot & hostess to them..lol. Not much is new for updates from the family. It has been very quiet & sometimes that is a good thing. Princess does not feel well. She is in pain & looks so sad. I feel bad for her but there is nothing Mom can do. It is a part of her being in heat. We are just trying to make her comfortable & making sure she gets lots of cuddles & love. Ozzy iz Ozzy... he is a ball of energy that is still chewing & biting everything. He is slowly losing his teeth so that he can get his adult ones in. I will be so glad when he is done! He recently seems to like taking our chess pieces & chewing on them... what a nightmare..lol. Everyone seems to be the same & doing well. I know you are watching over us all & I thank you my sweet precious son. It means the world to me. 
 Tomorrow is July 4th. Another one of your favorite holidays. Do you get to see the fireworks from where you are? Do you watch them from the sky or on the ground? Are you in a different city or continent then Mom? I know you love them so I am sure you will be somewhere where the fireworks are just amazing. I will be watching them from our balcony & smiling, remembering all the memories we shared. I love you so much & I miss you beyond anything I could ever say. I know you know how much without Mom even saying a thing! 
 I know I owe you a couple daily prayers but I will be writing to you in the morning again & I will catch up on those then. I hope that you have a restful & peaceful night tonight. May it be everything you want & need it to be. I am sure that we will be seeing the moon & stars shining so I will be looking & smiling. I know you are somewhere shining bright! I will whisper to you as I always do. Be listening out for Mom. I hope that if you can & you do rest for a bit, you will have sweet dreams. I hope to see you in my own when I fall asleep tonight. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul. Never forget this...please!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
