Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is doing well. Today was kind of a lazy day for me. It was not at all what I was intending but it worked out that way. We went to bed late last night again because we stayed up to watch the fireworks. They were beautiful like last year but honestly not as many. The colors were bright & they all reminded Mom of you. I whispered to you as I was watching them, did you hear Mom? I sure hope so. Mom is a little tired again today. Last night was the 4 night in a row that I didn't get to bed until after midnight & boy I am feeling it. Mom is no more " spring chicken "..... can't do those anymore...lol. I am used to being in bed by 10 pm & up at 6:45 am or so. That is what I am now used to. I will get back into the swing of things now that the long holiday weekend is over. 
 The weather today started out to be rainy & really just blah but it is now sunny with blue skies & really nice out. I will take the pups for a walk as soon as I finish this letter to you. Mom was hoping that I would be able to do some research on the next few things I need to do to take my certification exam but that did not happen as the website I needed to go on to has been down all day for some reason. I will try again tomorrow though. Mark was able to work from home today as well & looks like it will be that way all week too. It will be a nice change for him I am sure as last week he was running around a lot to a few clients. 
 Mom doesn't have many updates for you but I did speak to Grandpa last night for a bit. We were actually talking & Mom dropped the phone in the dog's water dish so it was a quick chat. I think I broke the phone & water logged it. I know leave it to me to do something like that. Anyways... all is well with them. I have been texting Aunt Beck last night & today. She & John are at the hospital today so that he can get his bone scan done. I hope that he will get the answers that he needs so that he can be in full recovery & soon. Poor guy had this surgery almost 2 years ago & has suffered every day since. We plan on touching base tomorrow & chatting for a bit so I will update you more with that. I know you do but can you please continue to watch over us all? Thanks pumpkin! Mom is sure to have more updates for you as today is only Tuesday! I do have you daily prayer though. Here it is....July 5~ Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you. Dear Father, I long to live in a nation that looks to you & walks in ways of truth & love, ways that lead to peace & authentic unity among those who hope in you. Please renew my heart in the things that please you, so I can be the kind of citizen that makes such a nation possible. We all have a duty to work for peace. But in order to achieve peace, we should learn from Jesus to be meek & humble of heart. Only humility will lead us to unity & unity we lead to peace. Amen.
 Last night the sunset was just amazing, Tyler. The colors that were in the sky was just breathtaking. It went from blues to pinks to purple & then to yellow & orange to a deep pink/ red. Mom did get some pics of it but the camera did nothing to what it really looked like in person. Sunsets like that make Mom smile. It brings me happiness & joy to be able to witness such beauty. I can only imagine what they look like to you from where you are. I know you enjoy them just as much as Mom does. I hope to see the stars & moon tonight as I did not see anything last night. I will whisper to you as I always do. Be listening again for my voice & smile when you hear me. I will smile as well. Mom hopes that your night is filled with happy things. Things that you need to do & may want to do. I am sure without a doubt that you will go on many adventures while I am sleeping. Come visit Mom if you get a chance. I would love to see you. Remember as always...you are forever in my heart, mind & soul. You are my hero & my wind beneath my wings. Never forget that! I miss you more than words can say & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond my sweet precious son. Good night, Tyler & sweet dreams. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
