Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday evening? Mom is so sorry that she did not write to you last night but after 3 straight days of studying & everything else that Mom had to do I was completely exhausted & I couldn't even function on anything. I went to bed early as well. I know I don't have to really explain myself to you as I know you don't hold anything against me but I feel so guilty when I don't write to you. Today, Mom didn't even do any studying as I have not been feeling good at all. I am so tired & today just has been a bad day overall. I have so much going on in my head & I need to sort it all out but I don't even know where to begin. There is anger, sadness, guilt, frustration, depression that is all wrapped into one. Any help that you can give Mom would be gladly appreciated. Thanks pumpkin!
 Mom got to speak to Grandpa last night. Things are good with him & Debbie. Meme called me today on her lunch break. Things are ok with her but really could be better. Bob is holding his own but could be better as well. Mom got a message from Aunt Beck....after 3 days of traveling, her & John are safely back in South America. Guess there was some hang ups in New York & Texas as well. Can't wait to her about that when she gets back into the Sates & is home again. Aunt Shirley also messaged me saying she was still having a really hard time medical wise as well. This makes me sad. I don't know what is going on but whatever it is is making me wish I lived even closer so that I could be with our family more than I am. I know you are watching over us all & that means so much to Mom. You are doing amazing things my sweet precious son. Pups are doing good...still give Mom a run for my money every day but I love them so much. Mark is doing well. The last several weeks have been crazy busy with his work. He is traveling a lot & looks like it will continue for another couple weeks. He seems to enjoy it though. Guess that is all that matters. Think that is all I have for you for updates at this time. 
 I do have a couple daily prayers for you so here they are. March 3~ Feel the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock. Father, help us to touch & influence others. We want them to recognize & celebrate even the small blessings. We want to surprise them with gestures of love. Amen.
 March 4~ Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. May you enjoy all the streams of love that flow into your life; the love from family & friends; the love from parents & children; the love from pets & the love from God. Celebrate love all day long. For it is the breath of your existence & the best of all reasons for living. Amen. 
 Mom is all caught up now. The night sky is upon us. The weather today was nasty. Gray & cloudy & it has been snowing all day. I am so sick of winter. Enough is enough...ugh! Mom I know that I will not see anything shining in the sky tonight but that is ok because no matter what I will whisper to you as I always do. Be listening out for my voice. Mom hopes that you have a restful evening. May you get a chance to rest & have sweet dreams. Please come visit Mom in my own dreams tonight as well. 
 Remember that you are forever in my heart, mind & soul. You are Mom's hero & my my wind beneath my wings. Good night my sweet son. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. I miss you like crazy.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
