Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday evening? Hope wherever you may be it is nice, sunny, hot & humid like it is where Mom, This is definitely yours & my kind of weather. These last few days have been just like the weather in Texas. I miss it so much. I like where we are right now as well, but I know that will change come another 4 months or so when the Winter hits us & the snow. Anyways.... Mom is sorry that I did not write you a letter last night. I was so busy all afternoon into the evening with this dang test. I finally finished it, proofed the terms, format, punctuation, spelling & I submitted it. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I did a good enough job to keep my GPA where it is at. This was a tough report. It was 8 pages long & the hardest one yet. I will be biting my nails until I get this one graded & sent back to Mom. I hope that after all the time I spent on it, I get an A. Keep watching out for Mom so that I can do well & end with high honors. I want to make you, our family & myself proud. 
 Let's see... not much to update you on as I have only spoken to a couple people the last several days. Kristina's husband, Mark is out of the hospital & doing much better. He has some restrictions but all is good. She is happy, he is happy so Mom is happy. Grandpa is working so many hours that I am scared for him. He needs to slow down. I won't talk to him tonight as he is working late yet again but I am sure I will over the weekend. Meme is ok I guess. Spoke to her last week but not since. I will call her tonight to check in. I know you watch over us all, all the time & I thank you for that. It means so much to Mom. Things here with Mark & Mom are ok. Things still are shaky at times, but they are definitely better than last week. Time will tell how things will really go. I know you are watching out for this too. Thank you. I need you all the time. I miss you & I love you so much. The pups are doing good. I think they are enjoying the heat. They like being outside in the warm air. I wish we had a yard so that Ozzy could run because he likes to. Maybe someday!
 Here are the prayers that I needed to catch up on. July 29~ Lord, what a miracle each newborn baby is. We marvel at the tiny hands & rosebud lips, & we know such a masterpiece could only come from you! We pray for all little children today, Lord. Watch over them & guide their parents. Grant all parents the courage, strength, & wisdom they need to fulfill their sacred duties.
 July 30~ Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way. Lord, teach me to think ahead the results my actions might inflict. If things go awry despite my forethought, help me admit my wrongs & right them. Amen.
 July 31~ And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, & cattle after their kind, & everything that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, & God saw that it was good. God of all things, we thank you for all your creatures, from the largest to the smallest. In each of these wondrous animals, we see your creative touch. Help us respect all you have created, to protect their lives, & to be ready to learn from them anything you would like to teach us. 
 Ok... once again Mom is caught up. I knew that these last couple weeks were going to be tough as I will be studying for my final exam & then the 1st board for Mom to take. I know you understand so I will not have to feel half as guilty as I always do. I will try to write you a letter every night, short or long, but if I do not get to one nightly this is why & I will be sure to write a longer one the next night.
 The evening sky will be upon us before we know it. Mom is cooking dinner right now & then I will be relaxing for the evening. Maybe some tv or a movie so that I can fall asleep easily & hopefully get some solid sleep that I truly need. Tomorrow I think Mark & Mom are going out for the day or at least for a few hours. This will be a nice change. I am looking forward to it. I hope that you have a wonderful evening tonight. May you do all you want & may it be all that you need it to be. I hope that you get to see the " Blue Moon " as well. Mom hopes she can see it. I bet it will be cool. It was a full moon on your Birthday so I thought that was so neat. Mom will whisper to you as I always do so be listening out for Mom. Fly high & free my sweet precious son. I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
