Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this sunny Tuesday afternoon? I hope that you are doing all kinds of wonderful & magical things up in Heaven & here on earth. Mom is doing ok. Been pretty busy today doing many things throughout the day including cleaning out my closet & donating some shoes & clothes, rearranging my desk so that I can work at it better, laundry, vacuuming, dusting, taking the pups for a walk, making dinner & now writing to you. The weather here is humid & warm today. Reminds me of being in Texas & that is a nice memory. I miss the hot weather believe it or not. I am not looking forward to the Fall coming even though it is Mom's favorite season. I am not looking forward to all the snow again. Another long winter is not what I want or need. Things here on the home front are ok. You know that I am doing my best & that things are going to take time. I know that with you by my side I will be just fine. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 
 Today is my friend Wendy's birthday. If you see her where you are please give her a hug & kiss from Mom & tell her I miss her. I will be sending up birthday balloons to you & Wendy tomorrow on your birthday at exactly 12:12 pm when you were born. I hope you like them & you float on them again like you have in the past. Mom is going to have a rough day tomorrow. I miss you so much & these days make it even harder for me. I know that you will be right by my side, just wish I could see you too. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world.
 The good news that I wanted to tell you about was that the President of the college where I am doing my studies nominated Mom into the Delta Epsilon Tau Honor Society, Gamma chapter of Colorado. I guess it is a big deal. The Sorority said yes to Mom & they sent me paperwork to fill out & I will get a certificate, pin, honors cord, & a couple other things. I was nominated due to having a 4.0 GPA throughout the whole course. I have 2 more tests & then it is my final. I should be taking that next week. Please be with Mom so that I can do well & continue to obtain my GPA. Meme & Grandpa are really happy for Mom & I am happy for myself. I know that you are happy for Mom too. It has been hard & challenging but rewarding as well.
 Not much to update you on today. Grandpa had a colonoscopy done & I am waiting to hear from them on how he is doing. Auntie Kristina's husband, Mark is in the hospital. Please be with him as well. He is pretty sick. I worry for her. You know Mom... a worry wort all the time for everyone. 
 Mom wants to write out the daily prayers to you as I have 5 of them to catch me up on. July 25~ Faith is a commodity that cannot be purchased, traded, or sold. It is a treasure that cannot be claimed & put on display in a museum. It is a richness no amount of money can compare to. When you have faith, you have a power that can change night into day, move mountains, calm stormy seas. When you have faith, you can fall over & over again, only to get up each time more determined than ever to succeed---and you will succeed. For faith is god in action, & faith is available to anyone, rich, poor, young, old, as long as you believe. Father, grant me a more perfect faith.
 July 26~ The thief cometh not, but for to steal, & to kill & to destroy; I am come that they might have life, & that they might have it more abundantly. Father, this morning I woke up & the gift of life was still within me. What a privilege! I don't want to lose wonder of it for even one day. So help me to live with purpose & joy, not waiting for what today might bring me, but rather looking for opportunities to be & do all that you've created me for. And, most of all, thank you for being with me in each moment, showing me the way of abundant living.
 July 27~ Dost thou know God disposed them, & caused the light of his cloud to shine? Dost thou know the balancing of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge? Nothing thrills the heart & awakens the spirit like a summer thunderstorm, alive with electric energy & thick with potential danger. With each explosive boom of thunder & blinding flash of lightning, our adrenaline rises & our hairs stand on end. Without a reminder of our deep connection to the natural world, we can grow dull & lifeless, stiff & anxious, lost & uncertain. Then the thunder roars & the lightning pierces the dark sky & we remember once again that we are all part of something far grander & more awesome than we could ever imagine.
 July 28~ And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. Lord, look down upon my family with merciful eyes, & help us to heal any divides that threaten to grow between us. Guide us towards solutions that will empower everyone involved & remind us that we work better when we work together. Help us to speak honestly with each other. Amen. 
 Ok... I am caught up once again. I am sorry that I have done this where I write to you & not the prayer & have to write so many on one letter. I will again try to be better at this. Forgive me? The night sky will be coming in less than 2 hours now. It gets so dark so early again. Makes me sad, but I know that it shows that the changes of season will take place yet again very soon. Mom wishes that you have a peaceful night with all that you want & need it to be. May you fly high with all the other Angels & freely too. Mom hopes that you get a chance to rest & close your eyes. May you have sweet dreams if you do. Mom hopes to see you in my own dreams tonight as well. It will be in a few short hours that I will close my eyes & that I will fall asleep. 
 I will look to the sky for the stars & moon. Hope they will be shining bright tonight. I will whisper to you regardless so be listening out for Mom's voice. I love you my sweet precious son & I miss you beyond words. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
