Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom is doing well. The weather today is just so nice & sunny. Blue skies & temps are in the 50's again. The sun woke me up so early this morning. I have been up since 6:30 am. I didn't go back to bed...instead I got up, got ready & did lots of things. It was a pretty productive day. Mom wanted to take the time to write to you now as I will be heading off the computer for the night so I can go make dinner & relax. Today has actually gone by quite fast. Mom spent the majority of the day on the phone...go figure, right? I sure can hear you laugh right now at that statement that I just wrote...lol! Gosh, how I miss that laugh, I miss your face when you laughed, I miss your face period. What I wouldn't give to kiss you on your cheek... that sweet face. Oh Tyler, Mom misses you so so much. It kills me every day that I can't see you but I know one day down the road we will be together again. I will see you again & I will get the chance to hug you. To Mom it will be years from now but to you it will just be seconds as there is no concept of time in spiritual realm. Knowing this makes me smile. You have always been the love of my life since the day you were born. You were my everything. Even death can't stop that. You will continue to always be my one & only love & my everything. Mom talks about you all the time. I love to talk about you, for others to talk about you. It lets me know that you are still alive in their hearts as well. That is so important for me to know. You are missed by so many & loved by them as well. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul. Please please please never forget this. Thanks, Tyler.
 So for updates.... not many but like I said I did spend quite a bit of time on the phone today. I spoke with another college to see what they had to say about Moms issue. I am so glad that I did as I got a lot more useful information & I feel much better. Looks like I need to take a refresher course that will take 2 months & then I can take the CPC Certification Exam. That is so much better than what I was told last Friday. Hopefully that will all be done & over with by Fall. This time I have to go to a testing facility to take the exam. It is 5 hours long & 150 questions. I know Mom has this. I know because you will be right by my side through it all. You will be coaching me the whole time telling me I can do it. Mom will keep you posted as I go along. I got to chat with a couple of friends on the phone as well. It was nice to talk. I really enjoy catching up with everyone. Love to hear what is going on with them & what is happening in their lives. My friends say hello to you. That makes Mom smile really big! I love hearing that! Spoke to Auntie Kristina as well. She is doing good. Oh and I spoke to Aunt Shirley...she called Mom. That was a nice surprise. I am sure I will speak with Meme & Grandpa tonight as I haven't in a few days. Also, I will try to touch base with Aunt Beck too. I will have more updates for you tomorrow. 
 Here is your daily prayer for tonight. April 28~ According to his divine power hath given unto us all things pertain unto life & godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory & virtue. Father God, you are the giver of all gifts. All of our resources & all we have came from you & they are only ours for a little while. Protect us from any addiction to material things, Lord. Gently remind us when we have enough----enough to eat, enough to wear, enough to enjoy. Most of all, keep us mindful of the fact that because we have you, we have everything we need. Amen.
 Well, the night sky will be upon us in the next couple of hours or so. The sunset should be another beautiful one because of the weather we had again today. Mom will look to the sky later to see the stars & moon. I will whisper to you & know we are under the same sky even though I can't see you. Listen for my voice. Smile & so will I. Mom hopes that your evening will be filled with everything that you need to do & everything you want it to be. Have the sweetest of dreams if you can close those sweet eyes of yours. Come visit Mom in my dreams tonight as well. I miss you & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world my sweet precious son. Good night, Tyler.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
