Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Tuesday evening? I hope that everything is well with you where you are. I often wonder how it is where there is no days of the week, months of the year, or time. Do you ever get bored? What do you do with yourself on a daily basis? How does it work where there is no concept of time? I try to imagine it but I just can't grasp any of it. 
 Today is a very rainy day here in Louisiana. The rain is really coming down. Tried to take Snickers out for a walk.. once he felt the rain that was it. He went to the bathroom & booked it right back to the doors to go back inside. It is 6 pm & Mark is still working. He has been gone since 6:30 am. It has been a long day alone in the hotel room. We really can't do much with having Snickers with us. He can't stay alone in the room, but I am not angry about it at all. I didn't want to board him so it is a small price to pay on this mini trip. It will be another early night because Mark has to be at work again at 6:30 am. We leave on Thursday morning & heading back to Texas. That is also Mark's Birthday. We will be on the road for most of it but he said that is ok. We will celebrate his special day over the weekend.
 Before I get carried away with this letter, here is today's daily prayer: September 16~ Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity...? He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in showing clemency. He will again have compassion upon us; he will tread our iniquities under foot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. Lord, you forgive us all our transgressions, & for that I am grateful. Though I strive to always do the right thing, I know that my sins will be forgiven if they are made with a heart willing to learn & to grow. By forgiving me, you free me to be who I am, warts & all, always knowing that I am loved no matter how badly I behave. I aspire to be perfect in your eyes, Lord, but it is good to know that if I fall short now & then, all is forgiven. I am so grateful that all my sins will be forgiven... with that said I try really hard not to create sins. When I was younger I didn't really think about it or care but as I got older I do care. I do try really hard. I thank God for the forgiveness every night before I fall asleep. 
 I hope that you are watching over Mom, Mark, our family, & friends. I haven't spoken to anyone since Sunday when we arrived here. I will contact them on Thursday when we arrive back in Texas. I hope that everyone is doing well. I hope that they are safe, happy, & healthy. It means a lot to Mom that you are our Angel. As you know our family & friends are everything to me. I miss seeing them, I miss seeing you too. I love you & everyone else. 
 Well, it is almost 6:30 pm & I need to be thinking of dinner seeings how Mark is still not back to the hotel yet. Guess it is a super late night. I hope that you have a peaceful evening my sweet precious son. I hope it is all that you want it to be & so much more. I will whisper to you this evening when we walk Snickers. I am pretty sure that I will not be seeing the moon & stars but I know you are shining brightly wherever you are. 
 You are forever in my heart, mind, & soul Tyler! I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
