Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Wednesday evening? Hope that it is warm & sunny where you are because it is not here where Mom is. It is quite the opposite. It is dark, cold & heavy rain. Just a yucky day all around for weather. My day has been a little better. Had to contact my instructor again for more help. I am getting there but still am unsure of some things. Hopefully I will be able to get this done by tomorrow & I can start on my last lesson. It would be nice. Other than that it has been quite quiet. Mark is working really late tonight. He has been pulling some long hours the last couple of days. Hopefully tomorrow won't be as bad as Friday will be for him. 
 Mom didn't talk to anyone last night either so I have no new updates for you. maybe tonight I will chat with Grandpa & Meme to see how they are doing. Tomorrow I will be writing to you in the morning because I will be studying all day & then we have a little Halloween party to go to here in our complex at night. It should be fun... I hope it will be. It will be nice to meet new neighbors & mingle a little bit. Mom & Mark are going as Mickey & Minnie Mouse. We thought it would be cute. I will take some pictures & post them on here for you so you can laugh your sweet laugh that I miss so much.
 The evening sky will be here upon us earlier than normal due to the rainy weather. I know I won't see any stars or moon shining bright but that does not matter to Mom. I will still whisper to you as I always do. Hope you will be listening out for my voice. Hope it makes you smile...that big Cheshire grin that I love & also miss so much. Please watch over Mark, our family & friends & Mom. Thank you. I know you must be busy doing all the new things you have to & learning all kinds of stuff, but it is just a relief knowing that you are everywhere watching over & protecting us all. Thank you my sweet precious son. It means the world to Mom.
 I also have another request for you to help if you can. One of Mom's friends is sick. He is battling MRSA in his foot & has been on & off for the last 8 years. I guess it is getting worse & he is now facing losing his job because of it. Where he lives he can't just get a " doctors note " and be done with it. I guess that state is a " right to work " & is pretty strict. he can't take the family leave act either due to him not being there for a year yet. he is going to try SSI but he knows that those types of things take a while to get if at all. He is the sole provider for his wife & family. Anything that you might be able to do would be great. Him & I talk about you all the time. He is a sweetheart. You would have gotten along with him, well except for the fact that he is a Cowboy fan like Mom...lol. Thanks Ty!
 here is your daily prayer for today. October 28~ I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions & as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee. Tossing leaves onto a fire, we name them as regrets & failures from which we choose to be free. We trust you to redeem even these, our dearest moments. They, like autumn leaves, can make the brightest blaze. Stir new possibilities into life from the embers; fan the sparks of dreams so that we may become one with your purpose for us. It is the root from which we, leaf & human life, begin. Amen.
 Mom hopes your night is peaceful & restful for you. May you have sweet dreams tonight & may Mom see you in my own when I go to sleep. 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. Remember that!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

PS Make sure to go wish Elizabeth Ann ( Denise's daughter ) & your sweet friend Megan McPherson a Happy Birthday...as today is both their special days  = ]
