Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday evening? Mom is doing well. I have a bit of a headache but I just took some medicine so it should start to kick in fairly soon or at least I hope it does! Today was another beautiful day & it got muggy again. The sun came out & the skies have been blue all day long. Mom is hoping that when the evening sky is upon us I will be able to see the stars & moon shining bright. It has been a few nights since that has happened. The sunset was hardly anything last night as it was quite foggy & it looked like it was going to rain. We did get rain overnight. Hopefully Mom will be able to see some sort of a sunset as well. Later tonight I will whisper to you as I always do so be listening out for my voice. Smile when you hear Mom & I will smile as I am chatting with you. 
 Well, this afternoon it became official that Mom is back & enrolled in school. I will be starting my 2 year course next week when my books arrive. I am excited to see what it is all about. I know that I will do well because I have a great support system & I have you watching over me & you being beside me. That's what counts & that's what matters to me the most! I had several phone calls today in regards to my enrollment so that left not much time to chat with anyone else today. Guess it was good though as Mark was doing a 3 hour virtual class. He goes tomorrow to take a certificate exam. I know that he will do just fine. He is a smart man....he will ace the exam. Mom doesn't have any updates for you tonight but I am sure to have some for you in a couple days. Oh, 1 thing I did get to do was chat with my cousin, Nancy. You remember her right? We chatted online this morning. It was so good to hear from her. She seems to be doing very well. Busy with work & hanging out doing many things with her best friend. She sent me a couple pics & she looks amazing. She looks happy & it is about time! 
 There was much sadness that happened last night & today in this world. Bonnie, Mom's friend had a dear friend of hers loose her son, her only child last night. Not sure what happened or any of the details & I don't need to but Mom's heart hurts for her. She is starting to walk that road that I have been walking now for 3 years since I lost you. I don't wish that heartache & pain on anyone. Life is cruel at times & not fair as you know all so well when you were here in the physical world. The son's name was Chris. If you see him up where you are can you make sure to tell him to watch over his Mom just like you do me? Thanks, Tyler. Sometimes Mom just does not get it. I guess also today somewhere in Minnesota a police officer shot a gals finance in the arm several times & he was pronounced dead just a few short minutes after being admitted into the hospital. Again, Mom knows none of the details but this is sick. This madness has to stop. There is so much violence in this world today. It makes Mom so sad. Enough of that as I can not continue to write all this any longer. 
 Mom has the daily prayer for you now. July 7~ My flesh & my heart may fail but God is strength of my heart & my portion forever. Heavenly Father, in my weak moments when I fail to be what I should be, when I don't do what I ought to do, when I say what I shouldn't & when I'm silent when I should speak, please intervene! Be my strength! Redeem my mistakes! Show yourself strong when I falter & bring glory to yourself. I look to you & want to point others to you today. Use my imperfections to highlight my great need for you & teach me to walk in your strength & not in my own withering strength. God generally doesn't seek out the innately strong as " poster children " for faith; it is most often the weak through whom he can best demonstrate his strength & in whom he can cultivate great faith. Amen.
 Well, Tyler, the sun should be setting in about an hour. Hope you will be " painting " a pretty one for Mom to see. I hope that your evening is all that you need & want it to be. I am sure that you are quite busy but if you get the chance can you come & visit with Mom in my dreams tonight? I sure would love that very much! Please always remember that you are in my heart, mind & soul. You are my true hero & my wind beneath my wings. I really miss you so much. No words.... I know you can feel it in my soul though. I love you more than words can say. To infinity & beyond. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. Good night my sweet precious son. Sweet dreams. Until tomorrow......
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
