Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing today on this Monday evening? Hope you are somewhere sunny & warm where the sun beams down on you all the time the way I know you like it. Mom started off having a good day & then during the afternoon I started to feel ill. Mom still feels yucky & will be going to bed fairly early tonight so that is why I wanted to write to you now. The weather here was hot & humid & felt great. Mom sat outside for a couple hours earlier watching the planes go by. I lost count at 50...lol! Mom was also looking at the clouds & every one that I saw looked like a puppy. This made me smile. Mom often looks at the sky & wonders where you are, what you are doing, etc... Those questions always cross my mind. Guess Mom will continue to wonder... I will dream that you are happy, learning, & flying high & free. Only want the best for you still. That is nothing new & nothing that will ever change.
 Lets see..updates for you today. Mark took another certification test over the weekend & he passed with flying colors. Not surprised there at all though. Talked to Grandpa & all is well there. Need to call Aunt Becky & Meme to see how they are as it has been a few days since we all spoke. Mom enrolled in more college classes today. Mom is now going to be taking Medical coding & billing. This will give me 2 more certificates along with the one that I just got. This will take me a little while longer as Mom will do this one part time while I look for work. It is exciting but hoping that I am not getting in over my head. I know you will be with me every step of the way. Thank you! Think that is it for now.
 Here are the daily prayers that Mom needs to catch up on. August 15~ For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Lord, I often pray for others when I need to pray with others. Show me the power of shared prayer as I meet with others in your name & in your presence. Amen.
 August 16~ And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Dear heavenly Father, I truly want to do good toward others. I don't want to just talk about being good. I desire to be more compassionate. God, I need for you to teach me to be far more sensitive to the needs & sorrows of the people you have placed in my life & to be kind & encouraging toward them. I need for you to teach me how to truly love. I pray for this with all my heart. Amen.
 August 17~ He is like a man which built a house, & digged deep & laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, & could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. Dear Lord, help me to build on a firm foundation by relying on your wisdom, diligently seeking your direction in all I do & learning to walk in your paths of kindness, peace, & justice to all those in my life. In Jesus' name. Amen.
 Mom is all caught up again for a bit. Again, Mom is hoping to get these daily prayers to you when they are on that exact day. If Mom gets busy then I will make sure to write you a small letter with that prayer, & at least you will get something from Mom daily. I know you see me & what I deal with... you understand & never would judge. Thank you so much for that. Mom tries so hard, but I believe that I need to try even harder. Have patience with me, please. Thank you.
 The evening sky is approaching us very quickly. Mom hopes that you have a night with all that you need & want. If you rest, please close your eyes & have sweet dreams. Hope to see you in my own tonight as well. Please continue to watch over us all like you always do my sweet precious son & angel. May you fly high & free & do all that you need & want to. You will forever be in my heart, mind & soul. You will always be the wind beneath my wings. Mom loves & misses you so much.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
