Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday night? I hope that where you are it is sunny & warm all the time & you get no cold weather or rain. Today was a pretty overcast day again. The clouds got really heavy & dark at one point & I really thought that the clouds were going to let go & down pour but they did not. It stayed that way for a bit but it passed on by. The sky started to clear & we were able to see some blue skies. The sun is starting to set now & it is pretty. You know Mom... always a sucker for a beautiful sunrise or sunset..lol. Mom was busy today with housework, school work & all the other usual things during the day. I did go to run a couple errands. Took the pups to Petco so we could get food for them.. of course they ended up with treats, 2 new toys & new leashes. What can I say.. they are spoiled rotten. We had a scare though. The pups were in the cart... I was steering the cart & mark was at the end of the cart.. we were walking out the doors & Mark turned really quick to look outside & Princess was upset that he did that ( she is a Daddy's Girl ) & she went to jump to him & she actually jumped out of the cart & fell right to the ground. We both screamed & was startled for a couple minutes. We picked her up & brought her right to the truck. She was shaking, rightfully so & she was scared. I held her for the whole way home. She is doing ok now. No broken bones or swelling. She is so lucky. We were so scared. I am sure she is sore but she is not showing it. Maybe tomorrow she will, not sure. She is also in heat so we have to be very careful with her. Ozzy is showing no signs of interest with it so that is really good. Even though it would be adorable to have puppies, Mom does not want them..lol. Princess couldn't handle another litter anyways..she is 8 years old. I think the breeder who had her before us made Princess have way too many litters. Princess just needs to be a pup that does not live in a cage all her life & is always alone...she needs lots of love, attention & to go outside & run & play... that is exactly what she is getting with us. No more cages for anything for her. No enclosed areas at all. She is the sweetest little girl. We love her to pieces. Ozzy is a Mommy's Boy all the way. He clings to me like glue. He gets upset if I am out of sight. He is a little peanut. We love him to pieces too. 
 Mom took a quiz today for school.. I got 1 wrong out of 20... so I got a 95% & I got 1 of my tests back today that I submitted last week... I got a 92. I was so happy. Good comments from my instructors so that is good. I have still maintained a A. I have another test for them to grade & I am working on another test right now. I will get that set & submitted tomorrow. I am already 60% done with the course. I think that I should be finished by the end of July or 1st of August. I really am proud of myself. It is tough & I am doing it. I know you are with me every step of the way & I am so thankful. I know you are proud of Mom too. 
 No new updates for you tonight. Been a quiet day for us here all around except for the incident that I told you about. Meme did call & told me that she is really discouraged with everything. She is angry & frustrated with Bob again. He is sleeping all the time & wanting to do nothing or go anywhere. Is there anything you can do to help out? If you can, pumpkin, thank you so much. I just really worry about them so much. You know that already though. I worry about everyone...all my family & friends. I can't help it.. it is just who I am. Always have been that way & I will always be that way.
 Here is the daily prayer for today. June 29~ Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. Even in our toughest moments, Lord, we yearn to grow into fullest flower. Give us a faith as resilient & determined as dandelions pushing up through cracks in the pavement. 
 Wow, tomorrow is the last day of June & we are into July. This year has flown right by. This coming Saturday is July 4th. That is a tough day for Mom as well because I remember just how much you loved the fireworks. If I watch them I get depressed because I am sad & I am wanting you to be with Mom & if I don't watch them I get mad because I tell myself that I should have & smiled & thought of you. Last year I didn't see any but this year we don't have to go anywhere because we will be able to see them right on our balcony. I will be watching them & smiling & crying & thinking of you & how much I miss you. The little things get to me. I miss you so. I love you so much. I hope you know & can feel it.
 The evening sky is upon us now. It will be completely dark in the next 15 minutes. I hope that the stars will be shining bright so I can see. I will whisper to you as I always do. Hope you hear Mom. Have a wonderful night my sweet precious son. Do all that you need to & want to. Watch over us all & fly high & free. Sweet dreams if you sleep tonight. I hope to see you in my own tonight. You will forever be in my heart, mind, & soul.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
