Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is really sorry that I did not write to you last night but as you could see Mom was up to her ears in painting...lol. Did you see my finished product? Mom thinks it came out like poop but I was told by a few others that the painting is really good. I am not sure... I think I need to have a little bit more practice with it all. Now Mom can see why you were so hard on yourself when you painted. You were the worst critic with your work... I get it now. Anything that you can help me with when I am painting I will gladly take it. There is another painting night coming up on May 19th here where Mom lives again. This time it is a glow in the dark painting. That should be interesting to say the least. It will be fun though. Mom will be signing up in a day or so. Last night was not the best time for Mom & Mark.... they say things come in 3's & last night was one & this morning was # 2.... it is nothing life threatening to either of us but it still sucks. We will get over it & get through it but if there is anything you can do to help us out Mom would appreciate it so much. Just steer us or me in the direction I ( we ) need to be going. Thanks pumpkin. The weather today has been so nice. It has been sunny & blue skies... temps are in the 50's. I will take it! Mom has done housework, laundry & took the pups for a nice long walk. They really enjoyed it. Princess barked at everything & Ozzy really just walked for a change. The little bugger is not feeling well. He ate one of his toys yesterday & he was sick. He will be better in a couple days or at least I hope so. Mom also cleaned up her facebook account. I deleted a bunch..actually 100 people from it today. Not that they did anything wrong it is just I don't really ever talk to them outside of the social media so why keep them. There was some stuff that was started that really upset me & I decided that I need to remove myself from that situation. We are not in high school anymore & I don't need the drama let alone the childish head games that go with it. I set a lot of the photos to just me & no one else can see. Lots of changes but they will be for the best. I truly believe that & felt fine right after I made the changes so I guess that is a sign, right? I can hear you right now saying " My little Mommy is growing up "...lol. That always made me smile & laugh. It still does, Tyler. You always made me laugh. Gosh, I miss it so much. I miss you. I miss it all my sweet precious son. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You were & still are my world, my everything. Please know & remember this. It means so much for you to know that I think of you all the time & you remain in my heart, mind & soul. 
 Mom doesn't really have any updates as I didn't do much talking yesterday. I did however talk to Auntie Kristina & she told me that my letters to you were so beautiful & it is if you are still physically here with us. She said she could hear Mom's voice talking & saying these letters out loud. I thought that was so sweet to hear. She also said that there were some letters that were just too hard to read & she had to stop. I let her know that not all my letters to you are like that. So days are harder than others & that is when they get emotional. She understood. She was telling me that she knows that you have been around her a lot lately. That makes me happy & smile. I know you are so busy doing all the things you have to do & all the learning that you are doing as well. It is nice to hear that you are still around. Come visit Meme, Aunt Beck & Mom too. We all miss you like crazy. Mom always needs you near her.  need to draw my strength from you as you did me when we were together. I know that makes sense to you & maybe not others but that's ok. That is all that matters.
 Here are the 2 daily prayers that I need to get caught up on. April 26~ As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. Please let me help you however I can. Long ages ago it was God's plan for me to serve, to love, & to share, helping ease another's burden of care. So let me be God's loving gift to you because in serving others, I am blessed, too. Amen.
  April 27~ For brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but love serve one another. Be ready to offer your gentle touch today----and celebrate the gift of kindness. Reach out to the elderly & infirm. Stretch out your hand to the children & infants. Do not hold back. Celebrate by letting your warmth flow through. And rejoice in the ability to do God's will in this way. Amen.
 All caught up. The night sky will be coming in the next couple of hours now. The sun will set around 7pm or so. I am sure it is going to be beautiful though. Mom will be looking to the sky to see if I can see the stars & moon shining bright tonight. I will whisper to you as I always do so be listening for Mom's voice. Smile when you hear it & I will smile when I talk to you. Mom hopes that your evening is filled with love 7 peace. May you do all that you want to & need to. If you do, rest up & have sweet dreams. Come visit mom in her dreams tonight. Thanks. Good night, Tyler. Until tomorrow's letter. I love you.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
