Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this Thursday night? Mom is doing much better than I was last night. I guess I ate something that did not agree with me & I was sick all night long. I got very little sleep but I am doing better so I am ok with being tired. I am sure you were with Mom last night as I was going through it all. Thank you my sweet precious son. I love you so much. I wish you could be with Mom all the time where I can see you but I know I can't so I will take what I can get. Today was a busy day for Mom. I did housework, laundry, walked the pups a couple times, & I did some studying. I am getting ready to do another test & submit it. I have a few more ( 7 more tests to submit & then it is my final exam! ) I am hoping that I will do ok with it & get a good grade. I am still maintaining an A average & I am still on Deans List. I would love to graduate with that honor. I know everyone would be so proud of me & I know you are so proud of me too! Continue to be with Mom through it all. I need you my sweet son. I always will.

Guess what? Decisions have been made & we are not relocating. We are staying where we are at least for now. The company did not come through with the relocation money for us & we are not in a position to front it all so the decision was an easy one. I would have loved to have gone back to Texas but I guess the timing is just not right. I guess Mom is suppose to be here for now. Mark will stick with the job he has, as he likes it ....just not the traveling & long hours 3 days a week, but it is a job & we are very thankful for it. He may change if something else sparks his eye, but for now he is thankful for what he has. Our family is happy that we are staying. Meme & Grandpa are very happy! I could tell when I told them. Makes me smile to know they what their little girl around here & not so far away.

Not much else to update you on as it has been fairly mild with everyone. Oh yeah.. I do have a few more updates, duh.. told you I was tired..lol. Let's see.... Bob is back to being dizzy a lot & having a hard time walking. I hope this is just a phase. He was doing so well. Meme has a friend who is terminally ill & has very little time left. Her family is there with her & she is such a sweet lady. Her name is Rose. Grandpa has a friend too that is terminally ill as well & has a couple weeks to a month to live. I am friends with his daughter. I am not sure if you remember Mom's friend Janice.. you were little but we hung out all the time. Well, it is her Dad. Grandpa worked with him for many years. His name is Pat. Do you remember your RT from way back when.. Angie? Mom found her on facebook under Joel's friends. We have been chatting the last couple days. Nice to catch up. She is doing well & looks great. She lives in Nebraska now, where she is from. Teaching RT classes to folks. She was sad to learn of your passing. She said you were one of her all time favorite patients. That made me smile..also made me cry. It was sweet of all the things she said about you. You never realized how loved you were & what you meant to so many people. I knew but you never did. I hope you do know now. Lastly, it has been a few months now that Mom sold her car to Auntie Kristina. She needed one & I had one that I wasn't using so I sold it to her... she needed it more than I. Well, today I put a deposit down for a car for myself. It is an older one but new to Mom. It is an SUV 4 wheel drive so it will be good in the winter weather. I am so excited. Once it is paid for it is all mine & no years of payments. I can't wait... I am so happy. I know you are happy for Mom.

Ok that is all the updates that I have. Now on to the daily prayers for you... June 24~ Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as these are alive from the dead, & your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. Lord, help me to depend on you to be my source of goodness. I don't always feel like being patient, kind, loving, or joyful, but you are all these things by your very nature. So right now I place my strengths & weaknesses into your hands, asking you to infuse them with yourself & to make them instruments of good that will serve others for your sake.

June 25~ Hold up my goings in thy paths; that my footsteps slip not. Lord, far too often we try to steer the course of our lives without consulting you, & we always run into problems. Set us on a true course that will bring us closer to you. Amen.

The night sky has appeared & it is starting to get dark. I hope to see the stars & moon shining tonight as the sky is clear. I will whisper to you as I always do whether I see anything or not. I hope that you have a wonderful evening tonight. Do all that you need & want to do. Sweet dreams to you, Tyler. Hope I see you in my own tonight. I love you & I miss you. You are forever in my heart, mind, & soul.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
