Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you this morning on a sunny Saturday that we have as of right now? Guess the weather will turn later on this morning to just being cloudy & perhaps a chance of rain later in the day. Mom has to write to you now as I need to get going in a few minutes so that I am ready for Grandpa & Debbie to arrive later this morning. Mom needs to get my office all set up so after I do that I really can't get to my computer as everything is swallowed up by the huge air mattress we have. Mom wanted to at write to you a quick letter instead of no letter today. I hate misses a day as I still feel so close to you when I am writing to you. 
 Last night Mark & Mom golfed on the PS3....per usual Mom was beating Mark & then the dang thing froze on us 7 we lost the entire game. That is okay though. We have fun doing it so all is well. I think you are with Mom when I am golfing & making sure I do well....lol! I sure miss playing mini golf with you all the time. Do you remember that game? Remember we would play it for hours & we both would get frustrated? Mom has not played that now in so many years. The last time was with you & I never will play that game again. I believe that Jeremy got all your games, CD's & DVD's. Mom thought you would like that. I tried to give everyone that you were close to something of yours. At the time Mom & Dad couldn't bring a lot back with us as we were both flying home at the time.... Mom in Oklahoma & Dad in California. I took all the items that were yours that meant the most to you. Dad took a few as well & Mom donated a lot to others that would need it like your clothes, your chair, other equipment. Somewhere out there many people have a piece of you with them every day. That makes Mom smile & feel so proud. I miss you do damn much my sweet precious son. You were my world, my everything. You always will. Nothing could ever change that. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You will forever live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. You, Tyler are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. 
 Yesterday when I was getting my nails done there was a special report that came on TV. It had something to do with Exeter Hospital. Remember that place? As I was sitting there listening to that so many memories came rushing back to me. Exeter Healthcare, the hospital, folks we met there, things we used to do. Mom has not been back to that area since the last time you were there.... that was 13 years ago. So many people that you loved worked there... Sally, Jen, Agnes ( Tracy ) & a few others. That is where you also met Ricky & now he is with you in Heaven along with Ron & the rest of our family & friends. Mom just had mixed emotions when I saw that come up. We did have some good times there & you had so many friends from school too. Mom still keeps in touch with Ashley. She is doing well. She is living with her BF & is a RN. She worked at DHMC for a bit & then transferred somewhere else. You inspired her to become a nurse. You inspired so many people & you never realized that at all. You inspired Mom more than anyone though. 
 Mom doesn't have any updates for you at all as it hasn't been long since I wrote to you last night & it is still early here. I will have some fun stories for you on tomorrows letter for sure. I know I usually write you the daily prayer for the day but that will have to wait as Mom is running late as usual...lol! I will double up on them tomorrow along with the quotes I usually write as well. Mom is hoping that you evening later tonight is filled with all the things you need to do & may want to do. Have fun while I sleep tonight & if you can come visit me in my dreams. I will whisper to you later today so be listening & smile that big smile that I love & miss so much. Mom will smile back to you. I will be back tomorrow night with another letter so until then good night & sweet dreams tonight. Be listening as I am sure you will be talked about a lot today & tonight. I love you with all my heart. You are my shining star, Tyler!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
