Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday evening? Mom is doing better than I was last night. I asked you so many times throughout the night to be with Mom. Thank you so much! I always need you near me, watching over Mom. It makes me feel good to know that you can be with me always & watch over me all the time. I love you so much.
 Today was a busy day for Mark & Mom. Mark had his 2nd face to face interview with a company this afternoon. He was gone for about 4 hours so while he was gone Mom did some more studying. I got through another lesson. I also submitted a test this morning too. The lessons are getting harder & more challenging but I am ready for it! I think I am doing a good job but we will see. I have a long way to go still..lol. mark will find out on Tuesday if he got the job or not. Keeping our fingers crossed that it happens!
 Today is the start of the long weekend.. It is Memorial Day weekend. This is a time to reflect on what our service men & women have done for us all so that we still have our freedom. It is to celebrate the good still but also mourn the loss of all that have fallen. To some people just look at it as a 3 day weekend where the beaches open up until Labor day. It is a time to be with family & friends having BBQ's & drink. There is nothing wrong with that I just hope that they look at the true meaning. Mom & Mark will be staying home & just relaxing. We have no plans on going anywhere at all. We did our grocery shopping already & there is nothing really for us to do now. The weather is suppose to be really nice too. Sunny & in the 80's so I will take that. Mom's kind of weather! 
 Also today is Aunt Jacqui & Uncle Dick's wedding anniversary. They have been married for 44 years. I will always know the years they have been together because it is the same number of years that I am old. Their wedding was the 1st one that Mom attended. I was 7 days old. I hope that you get the chance to go visit them & say hello! Again.. just don't scare them..lol.
 Before I forget.. here is the daily prayer for today. May 22~ But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. Lord, today I want to praise you for giving me the faith to believe, for faith itself is a gift from you. I lift up to you today all those I know who are having trouble accepting your gift of salvation. Be patient with them, Lord. Reveal yourself to them in a way that will reach them, & draw them into a relationship with you. Our lives are incomplete without you, Lord. Send your grace to those who are struggling. 
 I believe that the evening sky will show the stars & moon shining bright. I look forward to finding them tonight when we take the pups out for a walk later. I will be sure to whisper to you as I always do. I hope you hear Mom nightly. I hope you smile when I chat with you. I know I do. Sometimes there are tears but most of the time it is smiles because I truly believe that you can hear Mom. I miss you so much. I miss hugging you, giving you kisses, hearing your voice, your laugh, seeing your smile. I can't even put into words even if I tried just how much. I love you beyond the moon & back & all away around the world. 
 I hope that you have a wonderful night & may it be a peaceful & restful one for you. I hope that you have sweet dreams if you get a chance to close your eyes & sleep. I hope to see you in my own dreams tonight. You my sweet precious son will always be in my heart, mind, & soul. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
