Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this Thursday evening? I hope that you are all warm & cozy in the sun. It is still pretty cold here for the beginning of June, but at least the sun was out today. We got to take the pups out for a couple nice walks. They enjoyed it. I am so sorry that I didn't write to you last night, but we actually had company. Mark's friend Rick stopped by for a few hours to have dinner and catch up before he went to go see his wife at the hospital. It was so nice to have company. I sure do miss that a lot. I enjoyed cooking for others as you know & I rarely ever do that anymore. By the time Rick left I was so tired that I could not even keep my eyes open. Mark & Mom were up all the night before because both pups were sick. Last night Ozzy was sick again & he has been for a good part of today as well. Mom is hoping to get some solid sleep tonight. I can really use it that is for sure.
 Mom did another test for school today. I just got done with it before I started writing to you. My brain is frazzled that is for sure. It was tough. I had to do 3 more transcriptions for 3 doctors. It is giving me practice for when I start doing this as a job. It took me awhile but I finished. I know in time I will get faster & I am ok with this. 
 Mark accepted a job offer today. We have been doing a lot of thinking of what we were going to do.. either stay here or head back to Texas. After a lot of pros & cons to both offers Mom & Mark have decided that we are going to stay here. It is less money but we will still be close to family & friends & that was important to us both. We will be just fine financial wise as well so there are no worries there. We both will get medical insurance. That is a biggie. Thank you so much for all that you did on your side. I love you & I am blowing you kisses right now. I miss you so much. I wish I could give you hugs & kisses on your face. That would be the best. I wish I could just be telling you all this to your face, but we both know I can't. I just hate the month of June. In a couple weeks it will be the 2 year anniversary of your passing. These days are so tough on Mom. I am more emotional & I cry at the drop of a hat. I am trying to stay strong though. Give me some time, ok? Thanks pumpkin.
 Today, I received the proofs for your stone & bench. I cried when I saw the stone. It is absolutely perfect for you. It is just what I wanted. I know you will love it too. I hope that when you saw it you smiled & liked them. I guess once the proofs are approved it will take a couple weeks to get them in & set down at your resting place. I was hoping for it to be done by your anniversary but that won't happen so it will be in & finished for your Birthday. 
 Grandpa is having a hard time with the passing of Uncle Joe. They were close. I know he misses him greatly. If you can go help Grandpa that would be amazing. Give him extra hugs. He needs it right now. Thank you. Great Grammy is doing better today than she has the last 2 days with all the news. I am just so sad for them both & all our family. I often wonder if you have seen him yet??? I would like to think yes.
 Well, the evening sky is upon us now. The sky looks pretty clear so there may be a chance that we can see some stars & the moon shining tonight. Nevertheless I will whisper to you as I always do. Hope you will be listening for Mom's voice. I will write the daily prayers to you tomorrow as Mom has been on this computer all day today & my eyes & head are really starting to hurt me. I will have 3 to write to you in tomorrows letter. Hope you don't mind. 
 I hope you have a wonderful night my sweet precious son. May you have the sweetest of dreams if you close your eyes to rest. I hope to get some sleep tonight & see you in my own dreams. You are forever in my heart, mind, & soul. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. I miss you so much. The pain is unbearable to Mom.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son. How are you doing today on this Tuesday evening? Today has been a very sad day as I am sure you already know for our family. Grandpa called me tonight to tell me that Uncle Joe had a rough night last night. This morning he passed away. Heaven received another Angel. Have you seen him yet? I told him to give you a hug & a kiss from Mom. Told him to watch over you for Mom too. Great Grammy knows now & she is so sadden by this news. She is taking it hard. Rightfully so as that was her brother. I am sure he was so surprised to see that he was reunited with his son, Mike again. He had passed a few weeks ago & Uncle Joe was in a medicated coma for so many weeks that no one in the family was able to tell him. This is just so sad & heartbreaking. Give him a big hug from me when you do see him. Thanks pumpkin. 
 Not much else to update you on after that news. Everyone else are well. Thank you for watching over us all the time as you do. It means the world to me to have Angels like you taking care of Mom & our family & friends. 
 It was also a sad day for Mom today as one of Mom's friends Matt passed away 5 years ago today. It was his Angelversary. You met him a few times as him & his wife came over the house for dinner. I met him when Mom worked at the Music Shop. He became a fast sweet dear friend of mine that I miss. He left behind his son that was just born. He passed from cancer. I remember our last conversation. Matt told Mom that he was going to be like me. He was going to beat it & he would be around to watch his son grow up. He passed a few weeks later. His son, Brody is 5 years old now. Ya know, I hate the month of June. Always have. You got sick on the 10th of June, you passed on the 20th of June 2013, Matt passed on the 2nd of June 2010, & now Uncle Joe on the 2nd of June, 2015... not to mention Mom's & Grandpa's anniversary of our car accident was the 26th of June 1988. Just way to much sadness for Mom.
 Anyways.... I wanted to write to you the daily prayers for you before I forget. June 1~ And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, & it was imputed unto him for righteousness; & he was called the Friend of God. Dear God, your love embraces me like the warmth of the sun, & I am filled with light. Your hope enfolds me in the arms so strong, I lack for nothing. Your grace fills me with the strength I need to move through this day. For these gifts you give me, of eternal, eternal peace, & most of all, for eternal friendship. I thank you God.
 June 2~ When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers; the moon and the stars; which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? Lord, it's so easy for us to get bogged down in the details of life on this earth. But when we have the opportunity to gaze up at the stars on a clear night, it is easy to remember that there is so much more to your creation than our relatively insignificant lives. You placed the stars and know them by name, Lord, & you know us by name too. We are blessed to be even a tiny part of your magnificent creation! That you also care so deeply for us is the best gift of all. 
 Tonight was suppose to be the Strawberry Moon or Pink Moon that was visible to us but that is just not going to happen here. The rain is still coming down & the wind is still blowing a lot. Today was day 2 of the crappy weather. Cold, & just bitter. I hope that you get to see the moon tonight. I am sure it will be amazing to see. I know I will not be seeing anything as the sky is just cloudy. I will whisper to you as I always do. Hope you hear Mom. I love you with all that I have. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are still my everything. I miss you my sweet precious son. 
 I hope that you have a peaceful night. May you get to rest & have the sweetest dreams. I hope to see you tonight in my own. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,

Hi sweetie! How are you doing on this Monday night? I hope again you are somewhere warm & sunny. It has been so cold & windy with heavy rains today. I think the top temp outside was 49 degrees for it being June 1st. Not cool. Mom just wanted to write a quick little note to tell you that I miss you so much & I love you. I am pretty tired tonight & I have a headache. I will be going to bed very soon but I wanted to stop by & tell you that I will be whispering to you in a little while. I hope you hear Mom. Not much for updates today & I promise to write the daily prayers to you tomorrow. Please forgive me for the short letter. You are forever in my heart, mind, & soul my sweet precious son. Sweet dreams tonight & hope to see you in my own. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
