Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is hoping that you are busy learning all kinds of new things & you are going all over helping people that need it. I am sure that you are somewhere sunny & warm. Today the weather here was pretty nice. Low 60's & the sun was out quite a bit & now it is clouding over. Guess we may get some rain later this evening. Tomorrow is suppose to be sunny as well so that is making Momma happy! Today was a very bus day for me as well. Mom was up at 7 am & I got things ready for Mark so he could go to his client, made myself breakfast, did laundry, did a ton of housework, moved some things around in the apartment that took 2 hours to do, then I got ready, took the dogs for a walk & then I started doing my work for my class. I had to take a quiz which Mom got a 100% on & then an exam which Mom got a 94% on. This class is so much different then what I am used to. All the quizzes & exams are timed so I have to really be ready for them. I think I am doing fairly well right now. Hope it stays that way too. I know you are right with me once again while I am doing this. Mom wouldn't want it any other way either.
 Today, I was so happy that it was crazy busy because if it wasn't it would have been a day that Mom would have shed many tears. Today is Snicker's Birthday. He would have been 9 years old. I miss him ( and Max ) so much. I know he is better off & that he is with you now. You are taking care of him & just the thought of that makes Mom smile. He was your puppy to begin with & now you have him back. Hope he is getting lots of treats & toys. Make sure you play with him a lot today as well. Give him & Max big hugs & kisses for me. Tell them I love them & miss them bunches. Thanks, Tyler. I can't believe that in 1 month & 3 days it will be 3 years since I lost you. It sometimes seems so surreal to me still. There are days that it seems like yesterday & other days it seems like it was so many more years ago. I look at your pictures all the time & in my head sometimes it doesn't seem real & others Mom just is so sad & I just let the tears flow freely. I don't even try to stop them at all. I do know that you are free & happy where you are. I know you would not want to be that way ever again...the limitations were just too much for you & you did such an amazing job with all those years. That is why Mom is always telling you that you are my true hero. It is so true. You are my strength & my inspiration. Just wanted you to know that. Never forget it.
 Mom does not have any updates for you as the phone was quiet last night & all day today. I am sure I will have some updates for you later in the week. I do have the last daily prayer out of this book that I have been using for the last year. here it is: May 17~ He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. I am grateful, God of Hope, for the gift of each new day, each new season, like the one unfolding around me now in flower & birdsong, in seedling & bud. When they arrive as surely as dawn follows night & bloom follows bulb. I am uplifted by the fulfillment of your promise. Amen.
 Mom did find on the internet a couple new books that I will be using for you. I won't get them for 4 days or so, so I will find something in the mean time. I think you will like them. I am anxious to get them.
 The evening sky will be coming sooner than normal as the sky is almost all clouds. It is gray & gloomy. Funny how the weather changes so quickly. I will look to the sky tonight to see if I see the stars & moon. I will whisper to you as I always do. Be listening for my voice. Smile when you hear it & I will smile too. May your night be filled with all the things you need & want to do. Come visit Mom in my dreams tonight. I miss you like crazy & I love you more than words can say. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul. You are the wind beneath my wings. Sweet dreams to you my sweet precious son. Good night, Tyler.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
