Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday evening? Mom wanted to tell you that I am sorry that I did not write to you yesterday but it was a crazy day for me. I studied almost the whole day & took another exam as well. I made dinner & then came right back to the studying but had to stop as I got a really bad headache & the rest of the night I was laying on the couch trying to forget about the world. I went to bed at 9:45 pm. Not only did I not write to you but Grandpa called & I didn't even answer the phone as my head was pounding & I just couldn't concentrate. I will give him a jingle tonight to tell him I am sorry for not picking up. Today has been a down day for me. I have been on the phone talking to my friend as it is a rough day for him. Today it has been 31 years since he lost his Mom. Guess it shows that it doesn't matter how long our loved ones have been gone from us...we still think about them & miss them every day. His Mom's name is Judy so if you see her please have her go see her son & give him a great big hug & kiss. I know he would love that & he really needs it. Thanks Tyler! I did laundry & a few things around the apartment but nothing major. I didn't do much studying but I did highlight & tab one of my books. Over the weekend I will do the activities in my chapter book & online & I will take the exam so come Monday I will be working on a fresh new chapter. The other exam hat I took on Thursday I got a 96. I got 2 wrong. That has made my GPA go from a 77 to an 84. I am pretty happy about that. I hope it continues to stay that way & move back up. Your message to Mom is staying with me & it is helping me out. I appreciate it so much. Thank you again. 
 The weather today has been cloudy & overcast for most of the day. No blue skies at all & no sun either. Mom knows she will not be seeing the moon or any stars again tonight shining bright. One of these nights I will see them again. Not to worry though as I will whisper to you as I always do. Hope you will be listening out for my voice & smiling when you hear it & I will be smiling to you as I talk to you. 
 Mom has no updates for you at all right now but I do have 2 daily prayers to catch up on so here they are. June 2~Let them praise his nae with dancing, making melody to him with tambourine & lyre. for the Lord takes pleasure in his people....let them sing for joy on their couches. Sometimes, my Lord, you make me feel like dancing; other times I'm just as happy to rest on the couch. In both situations, I celebrate your presence & your pleasure. I exult in the life you have given me. You created this body of mine & I am delighted to use it to praise you. But when this body gets weary, I can still enjoy you in the stillness. It fills me with joy to think that I can give you pleasure. Be pleased, dear Lord, with my life. Some scholars think that the psalmist's word for " couch " really refers to a mat used for kneeling, so these " couches " are dedicated places of worship. That makes sense & it raises the question: What are we worshiping when we're on our couches? Amen.
 June 3~ I praise you, for I am fearfully & wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well. I cam look at a sunset & marvel at your handiwork. You are the consummate artist, marvelous Lord, swirling cloud colors in ever-new designs. I can look at a mountain standing proud or an ocean pounding onto the shore & I brim with wonder at your awesome creativity. But then I notice I can get a much closer view of your artistry any time I want it. You have created me. My body & mind contain intricate patterns wonderful to behold & you created my spirit to commune with yours. Lord, I thrill to think of all you have made, including myself. So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male & female he created them. Amen.
 I am all caught up once again. It is that time of the night again where Mom needs to get going & make dinner. The days just fly by so quickly. I don't have enough time anymore to do all that I want to. It just gets crazy sometimes. The weekend is approaching & it is a busy one for us but I will make sure to write to you. That is my promise to you my sweet precious son. 
 Hope that your evening is filled with all that you want to do & may need to do. Have fun & come visit Mom when I fall asleep tonight. It would mean the world to me if you did. I miss you so much & I love you beyond any words or life itself. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul. You are my hero & my wind beneath my wings. Good night, Tyler & sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
