Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing today on this sunny Saturday evening? Mom had a full day today. Last night the weather got interesting but nothing crazy so thank you for watching over us all. Mark had a friend here & he stayed until after 11 pm. It was nice seeing him as he is a really great guy & close friend of Mark's. Went to bed quite late & got up at 9 am this morning. I have not done that in almost a year. It felt weird but obviously I needed the rest. Got right up this morning & Rick came back for a quick few minutes then Mark & I headed out so that he could get his hair cut & I could get my nails done. ( Mom chose Hot Neon Pink! ) After that was finished we went grocery shopping & did a little other shopping too. We got home around 4:30 pm. Had dinner & now I am writing to you. I can tell it is going to be an early night though as Mom is still kind of tired. The weather was just absolutely gorgeous today. Blue skies, sun was shining bright & it was about 83 degrees here. Just the perfect weather with a nice breeze. Tomorrow it will kinda be the same but I think the temp will be just a bit warmer. I can't believe that it is already July 2nd.....dang! Monday is the 4th of July. Lots of celebrating will be taking place. The fireworks will be Monday night in Boston. We don't have to go anywhere though as you can see them right from our balcony. That is pretty sweet. No crowds no traffic just sit back, watch the show & then go to bed! I miss watching the fireworks with you. That was just one of our things. I remember the week after you passed & we were back in Oklahoma we took the dogs out for a walk & because Oklahoma is so flat with no mountains you could see fireworks in every direction. It really was pretty. I remember thinking as I was crying that if they were this pretty for Mom to see I could only imagine what they looked like wherever you were. I hope that this year you will be right next to Mom watching them even if I can't see you & you can see me. That would mean the world to me.
 Mom doesn't have any updates for you at all as I did not dare chat on the phone last night because of the weather we were getting. Just didn't want to take the chance. Mom will make sure to catch up with the family in the next couple days & fill you in on things! I do have the daily prayer for you though. July 2~ For God is the King of all earth; sing praises with a psalm. God is Hing over the nations; God sits on his holy throne. Receive my wishes, O Lord, my God & my desires of giving Thee infinite praise & immense blessings, which according to the multitude of Thine unspeakable greatness, are most justly due Thee. These I render & desire to render Thee every day & every moment; and I invite & entreat all the heavenly spirits & all the faithful, with my prayers & affections, to join with me in giving Thee praises & thanks. As I rejoice in God's greatness today, I am not alone. Heaven continually sings his praises; I join a heavenly host when I sing to him. The earth too, is full of his glory & thus praises him; I join an earthly host, as well, when I seek to glorify my Lord & King. Amen.
 The sun is started to set now & I am sure that it will be a beautiful one as the day was just lovely. I love watching the sunset because it reminds me of things you would paint. I believe that when you can you are giving Mom this picture. It makes me smile my sweet precious son. Mom is hoping that your night is all that you want & need it to be. I am sure you will be doing many wonderful things this evening. Come visit with Mom in my dreams tonight so that I can see you. I love it when you do. I will whisper to you you as I always do. Be listening for my voice. Smile & I will too. Remember you are in my heart, mind & soul. You are my hero & my wind beneath my wings. I miss you like crazy & I love you more than words can say. Good night, Tyler & sweet dreams. Until tomorrow night....
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
