Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this Friday evening? Mom is doing ok.....very tired though. Mom is sorry that I didn't write to you last night. I had all intention of doing so & then as the day went on I was not feeling good at all. I am so sorry. Mom is still really not feeling all that well still but I wanted to write to you even if it is a small letter. Mom will be going to bed early tonight. I am just wiped right out. Tomorrow morning Meme, Bob, Grandpa & Debbie will be coming down for the day again. I am so excited. I miss them so much. It was so nice to see them on Easter. They are coming down to celebrate Mom passing her certification exam. They will be here in the morning & will stay until sometime in the early evening & then head back. Please be with them as they are traveling. Thanks pumpkin.
 Spoke to Aunt Beck today. She was saying that due to John feeling the same way as he has been for a couple months, they would not be going on their road trip. That was sad to hear but she said they have enough to do around their place to keep them busy. Bean is spending the night tonight there so she was excited to have time with her daughter. I was happy to hear that part. I know that they don't get enough time together. Guess Bean is doing well. She needs to finish her own certification test but she has stopped it for some reason. I know that she can do it she just needs the confidence. Please guide her if you can. Thanks Tyler.... I know you want to see Bean succeed as much as we all do. Your cousin Ray-Ray is going to be a Daddy. They announced it a couple nights ago. Everyone is over the moon about the news. I know you were smiling down on them when you knew. Many of Mom's friends say to say hello to you.  I think that is all the updates that I have for you tonight. More on the way by the end of the weekend.
 Here is the daily prayers that I need to catch up on. April 7~ Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Lord, I'm glad that the more I give, the more you give. Reward me the risks I take on your behalf. Amen.
 April 8~ He that is proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the Lord shall be made fat. Lord, we live in a world where there is a great clamoring for powers & glory. Greed runs rampant & time & again we see the inglorious results of someone's unethical attempts to climb to the top. Protect us from such fruitless ambition, Lord. For we know that it is only when we humble ourselves that you will lift us up higher than we could ever have imagined. All power & glory is yours, forever & ever. Until we acknowledge that truth, we will never be great in anyone's eyes----especially yours. Amen.
 The night sky is upon us & it has been for a couple hours now. The sky didn't look clear at all but maybe there is a chance that I will see the stars & the moon. No matter what I will whisper to you as I always do my sweet precious son. Mom hopes that you have a peaceful & restful night. May it be all that you want & need it to be. I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You will forever be in my heart, mind & soul. You will always be my hero & Mom's wind beneath my winds. Good night, Ty.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
