Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Mom is having a pretty good day. The weather is so nice. It is sunny & in the low 70's. Went out today & ran errands, did grocery shopping & then went & had my nails done. Mom is so sorry that I didn't write to you yesterday but it was an off day for me. Mark went & got a haircut & I was going to go but I was not feeling all that well so I relaxed here at home while he was gone. Later in the afternoon we had to take the pups to the vets for their shots & exams. They did pretty good. Ozzy was a little mouthy but the Dr. was so good with him & Princess. We really like her. Came home & then Mom was really feeling crappy so I got in my jammies & watched tv for most of the night. One of my favorite movies were on so I watched that & then went to bed. I got quite a bit of sleep last night so I woke up feeling pretty good. Mom will be getting dinner going after I finish your letter & later I will be watching a show that I want. It will be early to bed as I have class tomorrow & it will start off with taking an exam. Things are just so crazy busy but it needs to be that way as if I am not then my mind wanders & Mom gets pretty sad. I know you see it all the time but please know that I will be ok. I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Some days are just better than others but every day is just sad for Mom. 
 Not much for updates for you as things have been pretty quiet with everyone. Mom did get a message last night from Aunt Jacqui telling me that Uncle Dick is back in the hospital. He was admitted yesterday afternoon for another infection. He will be there for 3 days or so. Poor guy spent his Birthday there yesterday & his Anniversary there today. He has had it rough the last few months. Hopefully things will get better for him. I know you are watching over him & all of us. Make sure to stop on by to say hello & Happy Anniversary to them & also Happy Belated Birthday. I know he would so love to know you are around him during this time & always. Other than that....like Mom said it has been super quiet & that is ok by me. Every once in a while you need those kinds of days. 
 I do however have 2 days worth of prayers for you so here they are. May 21~ Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise up against me. When my enemies rise up against me, almighty Father; I'm tempted to ask you to crush & destroy them. But I pray that you would fill my heart with mercy so that instead of asking for revenge, I will merely ask with the psalmist that you will rescue & protect me from those who seek to harm me. I'll leave with you the weighty matter of judgement & be free of that burden. Meanwhile, I do ask that you would not allow my enemies to have their way with my life, for I belong to you. The path of mercy & forgiveness may be excruciating at times, but the alternative path of bitterness & revenge is spiritually fatal. Amen.
 May 22~ Hear me cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the end of the earth I call to you, when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Heavenly Father, help me approach you from a place of humility, where I can see how magnificent & strong you are--a towering rock & a powerful presence. Then my faint heart will be encouraged & my faith will find its rightful object. When my heart is overcome, may it be comforted when it looks up to you & helped when it calls upon you. The Grand Canyon is an awe-inspiring place, but the lesser -known Zion National Park is, in the opinion of many, an even more powerful experience. From the rims of the Grand Canyon, one stands above the fast folds  layers & pillars of rock, looking down upon them. From within Zion, however, one enters its canyons from below & is always looking up at the towering rock features. It's an entirely different perspective. Amen.
 Mom is all caught up. The evening sky will be upon us in a few short hours. Mom is really hoping to see the sun & moon shining bright. It has been a long time since I have seen them. Regardless, I will whisper to you as I always do. Hope you will be listening out for my voice. Mom is also hoping that your night is made up of all the things you need to do & want to do. Rest if you can. Come visit me in my dreams tonight. Thanks Tyler. Please always remember that you are forever in my heart, mind & soul. You are my hero & my wind beneath my wings. Sweet dreams & good night my sweet precious son. I love you.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
