Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! Hope you are doing well in the Heavens above. Mom is doing ok.. just really warm here. The heat index stated it would be between 105-115 degrees today.... Boy they were not kidding! Not doing much trying to stay cool. I wanted to take a couple minutes to write to you the daily prayer today.
 August 21st~ " Look, the virgin shall conceive & bear a son, & they shall name him Emmanuel," which means, " God is with us. "  Dear Lord, when I fall on my knees out of despair & feel that I'm alone in the world, that is when I sense your presence most clearly. Through my tears, I feel your love for me, gentle & reassuring, letting me know that there is hope in the midst of pain. Thank you for never forsaking me, but for finding me wherever I am. I would be utterly lost in the most desperate sense without you. 
 Powerful message today. I hope you enjoy these prayers as much as I like writing them to you. I know if you were here with me & we were doing these face to face we would definitely have a nice time chatting about the meanings. It would be another thing that would be a " just you & I " thing. I miss all those times. Every hour of every day. I miss you. 
 I hope you have a wonderful evening doing all that you want to do. I am making this short tonight so that I can take care of Mark. He is under the weather again tonight. This is day 3. If he doesn't feel better tomorrow he is going to the doctors to be checked out. Please watch over us & all our family & friends. Thank you for all you do for us. It means everything to me. 
 Sweet dreams my sweet precious son. You are forever in my heart, mind, & soul. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

P.S. I will look to the sky tonight & whisper to you as I always do. Hope you will be listening for me! BTW... it is Aunt Kristi's Birthday today... go see her & wish her a Happy one! Love you bunches pumpkin  = ]
