Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Monday night? Mom is sorry that she didn't write to you yesterday but I slept for most of the day & went to bed at 9:30 pm last night. I guess I needed to catch up on my sleep. I am doing better today so that is good. The weather here is really dark. The wind is blowing & the sky shows that we are in for a really nasty thunderstorm. We can feel it..it is coming. I have seen some lightning so I wanted to write to you quickly & then get off the computer for the night. 
 Nothing has been going on really for updates. Mark did start his new job today & really enjoyed it. He said it was a pretty long commute though. He was happy to say that he has a job & I am so happy for him. Things look grim for a couple weeks but all worked out. The power of prayer & having you looking out for us helped so much. Thank you again for all that you did to help Mom & Mark out. Bob seems to be doing better these days & Meme is in a better mood too. I hope it continues in that direction. Grandpa & Debbie are good. They both are working major hours. I do worry about Grandpa. He shouldn't be doing all that he is, but he is an adult & will let his boss know when he can't anymore. I know you watch over us all, all the time. Thank you again.
 I want to catch up on the daily prayers again so here they are. June 6~ The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. Lord, you do not leave us to live our lives alone. You are with us in health, in sickness, & in every moment in between. Thank you for your comfort & constant presence. Thank you for sticking with us through the good times & the bad. Most of all, thank you for being there when we need you the most. Amen. 
 June 7~ And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Sometimes we believe our souls can only be at peace if there is no outer turmoil. The wonder of God's peace is that even when the world around us is in confusion & our emotions are in a whirl, underneath it all we can know his peace.
 June 8~ For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, & knoweth all things. It's hard, Lord, to reveal my heart to you, though it's the thing I most want to do. Remind me in this dialogue that you already know what is within me. You wait---- thank you!----hoping for the gift of my willingness to acknowledge the good you already see & the bad you've long forgotten. 
 Ok... I am all caught up yet again! I am enjoying these new daily prayers to you. Hope you like them too. The sky is getting darker by the minute. I know with the way the sky is right now we will not be seeing anything shining brightly tonight, but regardless I know you are shining so bright where you are. Aunt Becky has told me that you are keeping very busy. I wonder in doing what??? I hope whatever it is you are enjoying yourself & it is all you want for yourself & others. 
 I hope that your evening is peaceful & carefree. If you get a chance to sleep tonight may you have the sweetest of dreams. May I dream of you tonight when I go to sleep myself. I miss you so much my sweet precious son. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are forever in my heart, mind, & soul. 
 Be listening for Mom when I whisper to you later. Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
