Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son. Happy Memorial day to you in the Heavens above. It is Monday late afternoon & Mom is going to be writing to you while I am fixing to prep dinner. The weather today started out to be heavy rain & cold..only 57 degrees & then this afternoon it got muggy & the rain has stopped, clouds are parting & the temp is now 70 degrees. Crazy weather it is. Today was a pretty much relaxing kind of day. Mom did grocery shopping but that was it. I thought about doing my school but said nah... I think I really needed the 3 days off to just get my head together & back on straight. Mom has been pretty upset & discouraged so having these 3 days to sit back & figure things out was what I needed. Mom & Mark got woken up pretty early this morning by some sounds that were not so nice. It was pretty scary to say the least. We were both sound asleep but not after the 2nd bang. There was 4 total & we have no idea what happened or what took place but I can sure say that it most likely did not have a happy ending. I was awake & pretty shaken up about the whole thing. I didn't fall back to sleep until 6 am this morning. Think it is going to be an early night for Mom. Tomorrow is back to the normal for us...school, work, the usual. 
 Mom spoke to to Meme today. Things seem to be going well. She sounded good. She planted some new flowers at your grave yesterday. They are really nice & colorful. They are really pretty. I got to see pictures of it. I will see them in a couple weeks when we make the trip for Father's Day weekend. I will be spending a bit of time at your grave site. I want to put the Jack down there this time since the weather will be good. I was told that the 2 ornaments that were there that I left you were stolen. That made me so sad. I don't know why people have to steal stuff from a cemetery let alone anywhere. I know you know who has done it & some day they will have karma get them back but it just hurts. Bob is doing well. we did not have our skype call last night after all because Tubal was still in West Virginia & wouldn't be back until today. They are doing well though. Hopefully Mom will get a chance to chat with Grandpa as it has been a few days now since I have heard from him. I will try to get in touch with Aunt Beck as well. I know she was busy this weekend painting the house. I will have more updates for you in the coming days. 
 Here is your daily pray for today though. May 30~ For the Lord hears the needy, and does not despise his own that are in bonds. O Lord, I'm trapped! I've gotten myself into a situation I cannot get out of. This bondage is suffocating & I feel panicked. I didn't listen to you & now it's too late to heed the wisdom of your counsel. Please forgive me & rescue me. Even as I pray, there is a fear that you will turn away & say that you told me so. And you would be justified in doing that, Lord. But please don't despise me. Have mercy on me! In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen. God's goal is not to punish but to teach-----not to shame but t save. Amen.
 Well, it is that time of the day again. Dinner will be done in a few minutes & then it will be dishes & maybe a little tv for a couple hours then bedtime for Mom. I hope that your night is more exciting than mine...lol. Hope that you will get the chance to do all that you need & want to do. Come visit me in my dreams tonight when I fall asleep tonight too. I will look to the sky & whisper to you as well. There will be nothing shining though as the clouds are still looming pretty heavy. That's ok though. Listen out for my voice & smile when you hear it & Mom will do the same. You will forever be in my heart, mind & soul. You will forever be my hero & my wind beneath my wings. I miss you like crazy & I love you more than words can say. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. Good night my sweet precious son. Sweet dreams & until tomorrow....fly high & free. Please watch over Mom & all our family & friends. Thanks Ty.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
