Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this Wednesday evening? Mom is doing ok. Another long day for me but it keeps me busy so I don't mind at all. The weather here was better today. Warm, sunny & blue skies with no thunder, lightning, or rain. Mom was happy about that. The evening sky will be upon us in another 30 minutes. Sad to know that Fall is almost here & summer is already ( well almost ) gone for another year. Mom's favorite season is Fall though. I love the cooler, crisp weather, the leaves changing, the apple picking, the baking pies can begin, etc.... I just don't like what season comes after that & I miss doing all these things with you. We both loved that time of the year. It was perfect weather for you as it was not too hot & not too cold...it was just right. We could do so many things & we always had fun. I sure do miss those times. I cherish my memories that we had but some days are still harder than others. I look at your pictures & I smile, I laugh at the memory of when it was taken & then I tear up. I think no matter how much time goes by it will always be this way. I just miss you so much. You were my life & now I have to live my life without you... just not fair. I know you understand why it happened the way it did & I am gad. I know that one day I will understand as well. I am just so glad that you have no limitations & that you are free from all that you endured here in the physical world. I know you are doing so many wonderful things for so many family, friends, strangers wherever you are & wherever you go. You have always been my brightest star & now you are still in the heavens above. Never forget this my sweet precious son. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world....forever!
 Not too many updates for you tonight, but this is what I have to share. Mom passed in another test. I got a 90 on this one. It is an ok grade but I am not happy about it. The last 2 grades dropped my GPA to a high B. I am 1 point from an A though. I am hoping to get it back there but I just have my final exam to submit. My fingers are crossed that I get an A for the entire course. Help me, Tyler. Thank you. Mark is working a lot & taking more certification tests. Meme & Bob are well. John did good with his surgery, Aunt Beck is well. Grandpa is still working too much, but is good. Debbie is well. Great Grammy is doing better. Pups are good. Aunt Shirley & Richard had damaged done to their shed & car from a storm they got. Both were totaled. They are ok. They did not get hurt. Think that is it for now.
 Here are the daily prayers that I need to write to you. August 4~ For the lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, & shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Lord, how precious water is to us., & how parched & desperate we are when it's in short supply. How grateful we are that in you we have access to the living water that will never run dry! Keep us mindful of that refreshing supply today, Lord. Fill us up, for we are thirsty.
 August 5~ Be strong & of good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them; for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Dear Lord, each night the news is full with trouble. So much pain & sorrow. It makes me ache to see it all. Some nights, it seems that's all there is; this world seems sometimes so weary & heavy laden. Then I turn to you & know that you are nearest on the darkest days. And there is comfort in knowing you & that you have not forsaken us or the people whose world is presently dark. Amen.
 Once again, Mom is caught up. Hopefully soon I won't be so busy & I can write them to you daily like they should be. For now I am doing the best I can. Please forgive me for the way it has to be right now. I know you understand but I still feel the need to apologize to you & folks who read my letters daily. I will get better & I will be freed up of time shortly once school is done. 
 The sun is setting & from where I am it looks quite bright & pretty. Mom would say that within 10 minutes the sky will be black & the moon & stars will hopefully be shining bright. I will be looking for them. Mom will whisper to you as I always do. Listen out for Mom. I hope that you have a peaceful night ahead. May you do all you want & need to. If you rest, may you have sweet dreams. When I lay my head down to rest & I fall asleep tonight, I hope to see you in my dreams. Please continue to be with Mom as I always need you near. Watch over our family & friends too. Thank you pumpkin. I miss you & I love you. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
