Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? The weather today is so gorgeous! It is so sunny with the bluest of skies & the temp is 72 degrees. Mom is getting a dose of Spring time weather today & I can't wait for the warmer weather to get here again. Today has been a sad day for Mom as you know. Today is 1 year since we lost Snickers & he went to be with you pumpkin. I know that you are taking really good care of him & Max for Mom. Last night Mark had to work really late & I was remembering what a year ago was like for us here. Snickers was so sick & he had been at the vets all day. We had to bring him back the next morning, which was today. We got called with the worst news ever. Mom had such a hard time dealing with it all. Snickers was your dog but Mom took care of him all those years & he was my little canine boy so to speak. I didn't want to let go of him because that was the last thing that I had that was yours. Losing Snickers was like losing you again. I tried to be upbeat today as best I could but I am not sure that I succeeded at all. I tried to stay busy as well so that my mind would not wander. Think I did ok with that. I talked on the phone with a couple friends & with Meme for a bit. Mark worked from home today as well. princess & Ozzy did help Mom too. I talked to them about Snickers. I know they didn't understand a dang word I said but that is alright cuz it did help Mom out. I also know that your were with me too. Thanks Ty!
 Today Grandpa called during the day which was odd but he was visiting Grammy & asked if I wanted to talk to her. I was so happy. I talked to her for a few minutes. She sounded good but very confused. That part made me sad. I will be seeing her in a couple weeks so that will be nice. I miss Grammy along with all our family & a few friends. I know that you are with her on a daily basis & that means a lot to Mom. I do have an update on Uncle Dick.... he is doing a little better. He is still in the hospital as of right now. He is in the Respiratory Care Unit. He is having solid foods now but has to be on a " no salt diet "  doctors have told him he needs to loose a fair amount of weight. I will call him when he gets home as I want him to do a lot of resting. I know you are also watching over him & Aunt Jacqui as well. Thanks pumpkin. Think that is all I have for you today.
 Here is your daily prayer for tonight. March 9~ For as the earth bringeth forth her bud & as the garden causeth the things that are shown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness & praise to spring forth before all the nations. It's easy to praise you for your majesty & power when we see thundering waterfalls, crashing ocean waves or majestic sunsets. Help us learn to praise you when we see a dewdrop, a seedling or an ant. Amen.
 The evening sky is yet again upon us for another night. Mom did not see any stars or moon last night so I am hoping to see something tonight shining in the sky. No matter what I will whisper to you as I always do each & every night. Be listening for my voice my sweet precious son. Smile when you hear Mom & I will try my hardest to smile for you tonight. Don't get upset with Mom if I can't do that though. I know you will understand. I miss you so much & I love you with all that I have & all that I am. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. 
 I hope that your night is all that you want & need it to be. May you continue to fly high & free every where you may go. Rest if you can & have the sweetest of dreams. Please come visit Mom tonight in my dreams as well. You will forever be in my heart, mind & soul. You will forever be my true & bravest hero & my wind beneath my wings. Good night my sweet son. I love you unconditionally. Please give Max & Snickers lots of hugs & kisses from Mom tonight. Maybe even a few extra ones as well. I sure do miss them too....very much. Thank you.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxoxo. Muah

P.S. Today is Aunt Mary's Birthday. I am sure that she would love to get a visit from you. You would make her day!
