Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this Saturday afternoon? Hope wherever you may be it is dry & sunny out. Where Mom is it is cold, wet & heavy rain. Tomorrow & Monday we are suppose to be getting a snow storm...yup that is right a snow storm. Could get up to a foot of snow. This weather is just crazy. So much rain & heavy winds lately. The sun never wants to shine anymore. Makes me sad. Mom wants dry, sunny days again so I can take the pups for long walks. As the saying goes...April showers bring May flowers. Sorry Mom didn't write to you again last night. I did my exam until 5:30 pm & then needed to make dinner. Got that all done by 7:15 pm & Mark & I decided to play a game of chess. It was a good game. I lost right at the very end of it though. I think you were with Mom & was very proud of how I did! 
 Mom has been trucking along with her exam the last 10 days. I have successfully finished 11 sections & have 5 more to go! I should be finished by the end of this week. I have answered 573 questions & have 543 correct with a grade of 94%. I am pretty proud of myself....hope you are too. I know that you are with me every step of the way. Thank you pumpkin. I need you always. 
 Here are the updates that Mom has for you. Spoke to Meme & things are well with her & Bob. She got her new vehicle today. She finally got rid of the one that was giving her all the problems. This time she got a red one. Mom was surprised but I know you are smiling. Grandpa is doing well. So is Debbie. They are working all kinds of crazy hours. Mark is well, he is also working so many crazy hours these last several weeks. The pups are good. The rest of the family is doing ok. I know that Uncle Dick is still recovering, Aunt Shirley is still in a lot of pain & Grammy is still the same. She has her good days & her bad days. I know that you are watching over us all & we all appreciate it a great deal my sweet precious son. Your old nurse, Ashley announced that she was pregnant & was having a baby girl. Her name will be Stella. I know you & Ron are smiling down on her. Mom is really happy as well. She will be a really good Mom. She looks great & married life seems to be agreeing with her. Think that is all right now for tonight. Should have more for you tomorrow. 
 Here are you 2 daily prayers that I need to catch up on. April 1~ Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men & old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy & will comfort them & make them rejoice from their sorrow. Father, you will help us to survive the seasons of surprises in our lives. For just as the harshest winter always gives way to the warm blush of spring, the season of our suffering will give way to a brighter tomorrow, where change becomes a catalyst for new growth & spiritual maturity. Amen. 
 April 2~ And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray & continued all night in prayer to God. A study bridge, prayer connects us to you, God & you are always first to celebrate our joys & first to weep at our troubles. It is in this sharing that love brings about its most miraculous ways & we are lifted above the trials & tribulations of life. Thank you, Lord. Amen.
 The night sky is upon us now. The sky is cloudy because it is getting ready for the snowy weather. Mom will not be seeing any stars or the moon. Go figure, right? Doesn't matter though....Mom will whisper to you as I always do. Hope that your night is full of peace with all that you need & want to do. Sweet dreams & come visit Mom in my own dreams tonight as well. Remember that you are forever in my heart, mind & soul. You are my true hero & my wind beneath my wings. I miss you so much & I love you unconditionally. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. Good night, Tyler.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
