Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this Monday evening? Mom has had a busy few days so I apologize for not writing to you again. This weekend seemed to fly right by. Mark & Mom didn't do anything special but getting up early & then going to bed early makes for a pretty short day. I think I was in bed by 9 pm on Saturday & up again by 6 am on Sunday. We purchased some lattice for the patio so that the pups could go out there on their own without falling. The wood needed to be painted so Mom painted on Saturday evening & Sunday morning. By the end of the evening last night we were able to set it all up. I guess it looks nice. I have been sitting out there for most of the afternoon while it was quiet. I came in when the kids got home from school. They were being kids by playing but it got quite noisy so I came inside. Today was the 1st day of studies for my classes on line. I started at 8 am this morning & I took an hour break & then went back to it until just now. I think I put in a total of 7 hours so far. I have read 4 chapters & did 3 quizzes... almost done with the 4th one. Not too shabby for Mom...lol! I plan on working on the classes at least 4 to 5 hours a day so hopefully by 5 months I can take the test & be certified in my field & start applying for real jobs! I am excited for what the future will hold for Mom but boy I am burnt out for the day already...lol!
 Not much has been happening over the weekend. We really didn't talk to anyone. We skyped with Tubal & Karen last night & told them what happened last week. They were upset but we told them not to worry. Hopefully by the end of this week Mark will have a better lead & a offer on the table. We can't go long without one that is for sure. The time is ticking away & the money is running out fast. I am trying not to worry still as I have been praying to God & letting him have the worry & stress. He will see us through & will lead us to where we need to be & where we are suppose to be. I know you are helping too. I thank you from the bottom of my heart pumpkin. Meme called today. She was saying that Bob fell again. Things still are not right even after he got out of the hospital 4 days ago. I don't get it & neither does Meme. I wish someone had the answers to help him. I wonder if they are missing the signs & answers like they did when it came to you & what happened to you all those years ago??? I know you have all the answers now & it makes sense to you but it still doesn't to Mom. I know 1 day it will & I know you will be right by my side. I guess everyone else in the family is doing well. Brandy will be finishing up with her training & taking her boards for pharmacy tech. I am so proud of her for doing this & I know you are too. Something tells me that you have been with her every step of the way. Her hubby, Joe is getting ready to go back out to Vegas for 3 months again. Uncle Joe is doing well with recovering from his triple bypass heart surgery last week. I guess it was pretty serious. They are still giving him a ton of meds so he will stay still & not move too much. I guess when he does move around he will be in a lot of pain. I am just glad that he pulled through it all. I think that is all that is & has been going on with us all. Oh yeah.. the pups are doing well. The neighbor told us over the weekend that Princess seems to be doing much better. She is more comfortable & is holding her own. She is gaining some weight too. We now just have to be careful with that. Ozzy & her play all the time & it is so cute to watch. I hope that he is almost done teething as he is chewing everything now..lol! I know you can see them & you are smiling down. I can see your sweet face now. Boy do I ever miss that! 
 I can't believe that in 16 days it will be 23 months that you left the physical world. I think about it & try hard not to cry. Some days are better than others. Mom is getting ready to give the details to get your bench & stone ordered. I hope that you like what I came up with. It has Jack & Zero plus a quote from the movie. I think I will do you proud. You deserve the best...always!
 The evening sky is upon us now. The weather was beautiful..almost 80 degrees. I know that the sky will be clear & the stars & moon will be shining bright. I heard it was suppose to be a full moon tonight! I will be waiting to see. Regardless I will whisper to you as I always do. I hope you will be listening out for Mom & you will be smiling! I hope your night is all that you need & want it to be. May you slow down enough to get some rest & when you do I wish you nothing but the sweetest dreams. I hope to see you in my own tonight. 
 You are forever in my heart, mind, & soul my sweet precious son. Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
