Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is doing fine. The weather today is pretty nice. The sun was shining & it wasn't too too cold. Took the pups for a walk & they enjoyed it. Mark actually went out in shorts & short sleeve shirt & said it was not that bad...he is crazy! He went to the office today...drove 1 1/2 hours one way to find out that his office had no power still due to the storm we had over the weekend so he drove 1 1/2 hours back. What a waste of time & gas but he didn't mind. got him out of the house for a few.
 Mom did some housework & then chatted with a friend that I haven't been in touch with in over 5 years. It was so good to catch up with her & see how things have been. We talked about you a lot. She haven't known that you passed away. It was hard to talk about it but I did ok. I love talking about you. It makes me smile. I hope that you saw that when Mom did that. Hope it made you smile my sweet precious son. I tell you all the time that you are still my whole world because it is so true. You are & always will be. Always remember that. Know that & I believe that you can feel it in your soul. Mom feels it in hers. I love you so much. More than words can say. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. I miss you like crazy. Every minute of every day you are on my mind. I think of you constantly. Guess the bond we shared was so strong that it will never go away..even if we can't see one another now.
 Mom was thinking earlier just how long it has been since I started this blog...my letters to you & I realized that it is 2 1/2 years. Mom has has 22,000 visits to my blog since I started & followers in the United States ( over 100 each night ), United Kingdom, Germany, France, Canada, Portugal, Poland, Philippines, Egypt, Ukraine as of right now & so many more through the years. It surprises Mom that I have something to say that people want to continue to read daily but on the other hand it makes me happy to know that readers enjoy my letters to you. If I can help others through their own grief then I guess I am doing something right & I am doing my job. I will always continue to write to you because it makes me feel closer to you & something tells me to keep doing it. I don't think that you read Mom's letters to you because I know that you are right next to me while I am writing them. You are watching me. You can feel what I am feeling & you just know. No words can explain it so that it will make sense. 
 No real updates for you today. I did get a message that Grammy is having another bad day today. Aunt Shirley sent me a picture & that picture spoke volumes with no words having to be said. It is so sad to see Grammy this way. It hurts. I know she is wanting to no longer be here with us & she wants to go where you you are. As much as I will miss her I will be happy for the day that she gets her wish granted. I know you & so many others will be there to greet her on the other side. There she will be smiling again, she will be able to see, to hear & will be no longer in pain. Please watch over her, Ty. Thank you. Mom also got to talk to Aunt Beck. Things are good. They are getting ready to go on there travels. We laughed a lot on the phone. It was great. It felt good. It's been awhile.
 Here is your daily prayer for today. January 25~ Lord, we are so thankful to you for our families & close friends. How lonely our lives would be without them, even in this splendid world of your making! What a privilege it is to come to you every day to offer prayers for them. Day after day I bring before you those close to me who need your special attention. If I can't sleep at night. I pray for them again. Each one is so precious to me, Lord, & I know you cherish them as well. As I think of them during the day, please consider each thought to be another small prayer. Amen.
 The night is almost upon us & the sky is still clear. Hope I get to see the moon & stars shining bright tonight. No matter what I will whisper to you as I always do. Be listening out for my voice. Mom hopes you have a peaceful evening tonight. May it be all that you need & want it to be. May you have sweet dreams & come visit Mom in my dreams tonight. Remember you are forever in my heart, mind & soul. I love you pumpkin.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
