Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this sunny Sunday afternoon? Things with Mom are the best that they can be. I am so sorry about last nights letter but Mom was just so tired. I wanted to make sure that I got the chance to write to you today so that is why I am doing it now as tonight is going to be a bit crazy with dinner, a skype call etc...
 Mom managed to do some changes on here. I added a picture of Mark & Mom, Princess & Ozzy plus I added a song on here that makes me think of you every time I hear it. Mom also did some deleting of a few songs not because I don't like them~ I just thought I would switch it up every once in a while. There are so many songs out there that make me think of you & I want to share them with all who read my letters to you every night. Hope you like the new changes. I am going to try & switch it up every couple of months. Hope you won't mind.
 Mom has a few updates for you~ Let's see where to start... Spoke to Meme last night along with Grandpa & Debbie. Every one is doing well. Bob had a doctor's app't & it sounded like everything is good other than Bob needs to get as much exercise as he can. Be outdoors more. That is a great sign & Mom was so happy to hear this news. Grandpa & Debbie are good. Staying busy & working a lot. Aunt Beck is well. Mom will be calling her tomorrow to chat for a bit. Aunt Shirley is still trying to have the doctor's figure out what exactly is also going on with her. She is still in a lot of pain & this is now 3 months. Yesterday Great Grammy fell. The nurses found her on the floor. It was so sad to hear & by the sounds of it she is failing fast now. She doesn't remember much, sleeps a lot now & gets ill more often. I know this comes with the territory of being her age at almost 96 years old, but I still think she is hanging in there for some reason. She still has things to finish here before she is called home to be with you & all her other family & friends. Mark is doing well. Same ole same ole with him. Works a ton of hours & never complains about it. Pups are doing good. Took them for a long walk today as it is nice & sunny outside. They enjoyed it & barked at everything & anything that they could...lol. Mark's side of the family is doing well. They are just really busy with working but health wise they are well. We will be skyping with Tubal & Karen tonight as we always do every other week. I think we will be planning a long weekend trip to see them pretty soon. It will be nice as it has been almost 1 1/2 years since we have seen them. Mom is doing the best she can. I have my days though. Its that roller coaster of a ride. On Friday, Mom found out that I need to do more schooling & get another certification before I can go out into the working world. I was discouraged to find this out. I thought that the schooling I have taken & the certification that I already got would get my foot in the door but apparently I don't have the correct certification to do just that yet. So I need to save money to be able to take these classes & then take this another exam. It is a mess though. I was excited to look for a job & get back out into the world but I guess that is not in the cards for Mom just yet. I will hold my head up high though & just keep plugging along. I know that in time everything will work out the way it is suppose to. I just need to be patience that's all. I know you will be watching over all our family & friends & you will be right by Mom's side through it all. With knowing & feeling this, Mom will have the strength to continue & move forward. Thank you, Tyler for all that you do for us. Mom appreciates it as I know every one else does too. Think that is all the updates for now.
 I do however have a few daily prayers to write out to you so I want to get them started now. Here they are. April 22~ Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them & blessed them. O Lord, what a blessing children are in this world. They bring such joy into our lives & are a precious composite of the best of our past & the hopes for the future. Thank you for your love for all the children, Lord. Please guard them always. Amen.
 April 23~ I have made the earth; and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens & all their host have I commanded. What " speaks " to you in nature? The amazing variety of birds coming & going at your bird feeder? The petals on those wildflowers by your mailbox? The smell of the air after a rainstorm? The night sky? Maybe you simply wonder how those weeds can find a way to thrive in the cracks of the sidewalk. Whatever impresses us among the things God has made, it's a part of his messaging system to us, inviting us to search him out & find relationship with him. Amen.
 April 24~ Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at they right hand there are pleasures for everyone.God, shine your healing light down upon me today, for my path is filled with painful obstacles & my suffering fogs my vision. Clear the challenges from the road I must walk upon or at least walk with me as I confront them. With you, I know I can endure anything. With you, I know I can make it through to the other side, where joy awaits. Amen.
 Ok, Mom is finally all caught up on the prayers. Wow, that really feels better to me. It feels great that I am writing to you as well. I always feel so much closer to you, Tyler when I do. I can't explain it to you or anyone...it is just a feeling that Mom gets. The sun won't be setting for at least another 4 hours but that is ok. I believe that it will be a beautiful one as the day is still sunny with blue skies. I am hoping that the night sky is clear & we are able to see the stars & moon shining bright. I will be sure to whisper to you as I always do so be listening out for Mom's voice. Hope you hear me & smile when you hear it. I will make sure to smile as I am chatting with you so you can see my smile as well. I sure miss you bunches my sweet precious son. Mom loves you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Mom is hoping that your night will be filled with much peace & happiness. I am hoping that it will be filled with all that you are needed to do & what you would like to do as well. I know you are busy. Mom is proud even though I can't visually see what & where you are. I have always been proud of you. You are my true hero & my wind beneath my wings. 
 Get some rest tonight if that is something that you do. Sweet dreams is always a must though. Come visit Mom in my dreams tonight when I close my eyes & fall asleep. Thanks pumpkin. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul. Have a great afternoon & an even better night. I love you unconditionally, Ty.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
