Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son. How are you doing today on this sunny Sunday morning? Mom is so sorry that I have not written to you in 3 night but as I know you can see all you will have seen that Mom has been pretty sick. Thursday night started it all when I went to bed. I did not sleep hardly at all as I was up most of the night. I kept calling for you to be right by my side & I do believe you heard Mom because every time that I did I started to sleep more & feel somewhat better so thank you for being by Mom's side. I haven't felt that sick in a very long time. Friday Mom did nothing but lay on the couch watching tv. As I felt that I could have been doing something far more productive I think that is what my body needed. I did take a nap in the afternoon & I was in bed at 8:30pm that evening. Saturday started out to be a fairly good day & just progressively got worse by the hour. Mark was feeling pretty tough too yesterday. I know you continued to be with Mom & mark & again, I thank you so much. I need you with Mom all the time. I miss you so much. I talked to you throughout the last 3 days even though I could not write to you...did you hear Mom? I hope so my sweet precious son. Right now as I am writing your letter I am looking at your picture. Oh how it makes me smile & sad all at the same time. Mom misses you so much. That smile, your voice, those eyelashes. Mom misses everything. Wish that you were still here so I could see you, talk to you, hug you, laugh with you, cry at times when needing to, but I know you are happy now & at peace & that would just be selfish of Mom. Just always know that I love you more than life itself & I always will. You will continue to be my everything, now & forever.
 Not much for updates from Mom today as I really haven't spoken to anyone in the last few days. I know that Grandpa & Debbie are well, as they called us last night. I am assuming that everyone else is ok. Marion & Charlie went to visit you & said that your bench & stone are beautiful. Meme planted some flowers there too. Everyone says those are very nice & you can see them right off. I hear that Grandpa comes to visit you often & enjoys sitting on the bench. That is what it is there for & I am so happy that family & friends are using it. I sure do hope you like it. Mom is hoping to get up there next weekend so that I can actually see it in person & not just in pictures. I hope to bring you something special too....just not sure what yet!
 There are a lot of daily prayers for me to write out so I want to start them right now. August 27~ For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. Good morning, Lord. I have another busy day ahead of me. This may be the only minute I have to talk to you. Please tap me on the shoulder now & then---no matter how busy I am----and remind me that the world does not revolve around me.
 August 28~ iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. God, you have given me friends to illuminate my path & make it smooth. They guide me when I am lost & support me when I stumble. Thank you for bringing them into my life.
 August 29~ And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain. With boldness & wonder & expectation, I greet you this morning, God of sunrise & rising dew. Gratefully, I look back to all that was good yesterday & in hope, face forward, ready for today.
 August 30~ verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep & lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. God, thank you for sometimes reminding me that in the center of chaos lies the seed of new opportunity & that things are not always as awful as they seem at first. I often forget that what starts out bad can end up great & that it is all a matter of my own perspective. Amen.
 Wow... finally caught up from the last few days. Mom has to go out & run all the errands that she has needed to from not doing so the last few days of being sick. Mom hopes that you have a wonderful day doing so many things no matter where they take you. I know that you are very busy going places, seeing & healing many people, & learning all that you can. Mom is so very proud of you. Always was & always will be. May you have a restful & peaceful evening tonight. Mom will be looking to the sky tonight to see the moon & stars shining. I will whisper to you as I always do. Hope you will be listening out for my voice. Hope the moon tonight is as beautiful as it was last night. tried to take a picture of it but it didn't come out. Continue to fly high & fly as free as you can. Give kisses & hugs to max & Snickers for me. Miss them so much as well, but I know they are in good hands with you. That makes me smile. have sweet dreams tonight if you rest 7 may Mom see you in my own dreams as well. I miss you & love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
