Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing today on this Saturday early evening? The sun is out here where Mom is & it is 70 degrees & Sunday it is going to be even nicer outside. Oh I am loving the weather & it makes me so happy. Mom is sorry though that you did not get a letter last night. I am afraid that whatever Mark had on Thursday he gave it to me & I was sick almost the whole day yesterday. I did not get out of bed at all. I actually slept for a good part of the day as well. I didn't really think that I would be able to sleep last night but I was wrong. I slept pretty good. Guess my body was just tired. Even though I did not write it doesn't mean that I was not thinking about you because I was & I always do my sweet precious son. Every second of every minute of every day you are n my mind, my heart & my soul. I hope you realize this & never forget it.
 So yesterday Mom didn't talk to anyone on the phone. I did however talk to Meme today. She & Bob are well. She gets to go get her new vehicle this week & boy she is happy with that & rightfully so. She has been waiting 3 weeks now so I am so happy for her. I know Mom will chat with Grandpa tomorrow night so I will have more updates for you then. Today was a good day for Mark & I. Think it is what was needed after 2 days of sickness. Haircuts, grocery shopping, & a mall run was what we did. Mark spoiled Mom today at her favorite clothing store. It was a surprise & so much fun. Did you see Mom smile a lot? I hope so. I am looking at your picture right now & smiling at you. What I wouldn't give to see you right in front of me smiling back. I miss you so much. I miss your laugh, your voice, your smile. I miss it all. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Always have & always will. You will forever be my everything. 
 Tomorrow Mark & Mom have a few things to do around the apartment, then we will be going to breakfast which we never really do unless we are on vacation & then coming back home & relaxing. Mom is planning on doing so painting. So if you have any tips for Mom I will gladly accept them. I found a site where I think I can do a few pictures so I am kind excited to try them out. Mom will make sure to write to you in the evening so I can tell you all about it. I am sure you will be laughing & shaking your head saying " Oh Mom! " 
 Well I have a couple daily prayers for you so here they are. April 15~ And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God & every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. Refocus me, God of love, to embrace & enjoy this child growing so quickly into independence. When growth pains come, send me a rainbow of friends' support, vision & patience to enjoy, although it's sure to rain again. Help me accept storm & sun as balance of nature & of life. Amen.
 April 16~ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ & the love of God & the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. Like the sun that melts the snow, my soul absorbs the grace that beats in gentle, healing rays from some godly place. Like rain that heals parched earth, my body drinks the love that falls in gently soothing waves from heaven up above. Amen.
 All caught up once again. The evening sky will be upon us in about 1 1/2 hours. I think it is going to be a really pretty sunset. The sky is so clear & blue..absolutely no clouds. Mark & Mom will be playing a game of chess maybe & then watching a movie later. I will make sure to look up to the sky. I will whisper to you as I always do so be listening for my voice. Smile & I will too. Hope your evening is all that you need & want it to be. I know you are busy doing so many wonderful things. I am so proud of you even though I can't see what those " things " are. I know you are giving it your all. Have the sweetest of dreams tonight & come visit Mom if you can. I would love that. You are my hero & my wind beneath my wings. Good night, Ty. I love you unconditionally. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
