Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing today on this Friday afternoon? The weather today is so much different then the last few days...like 30 degrees different! We have been in the 95 degree range & today it is only 64 & the wind is whipping like crazy. Mom is freezing...lol! The sun just barely started to come out as it has been rainy & overcast for most of the day. This weather is just crazy. 
 Today has been a " down " day for Mom. I am enjoying these last few days like this seeings how next week it will become very busy for me again for a very long time! My books for my 1st semester should be here by Wednesday. I am getting pretty excited about it all as I will be doing more things then what I am used to. Mark had  to go for his certification exam today but the outcome was not a good one. He didn't pass it. He is pretty bummed & just is not having a good day at all. He is not feeling well so Mom will be playing nurse to him after I finish this letter to you. On a good note, he only failed the exam by a couple questions & now knows the answers to them so come next week when he retakes it he will probably get a 100%. 
 Mom really has no updates for you again today as I didn't talk to anyone last night at all. I am sure that Grandpa & Meme will call me either tonight or over the weekend to check in on things. I will have more updates for you then. I wanted to tell you that on facebook there are these quizzes that you can take just for fun & Mom took one today on what word did I speak the most & how many times.....guess what I got? My most spoken word was Tyler & I have used it 400 times. Told you I always say your name & that I always talk about you. When I got that answer I smiled so big. Did you see me? I looked right at your picture & winked at you. Hope you saw that too. Oh, before I forget... you know Mom's friend that always tells me to tell you he says hello.....well today is his Birthday. I have been joking with him all day saying it was his 5oth Birthday. It really isn't it is his 48th but I am so close, right? If you get a chance make sure to go say hello to him. I usually tell you not to scare anyone when you do go say hi & make your presence known but this time I will tell you to go scare him...he will get a kick out of it & he will know it is from you! He will laugh & if I know him he will say hi back to you & tell you he knows it was you. Anyways.... Mom can't believe that in 2 days I will have been writing to you for 3 years on my blog. Doesn't seem so long ago that I started it but I sure did. July 10, 2013. Mom still continues to have several followers on a daily basis. I still really doesn't know what I say to make them continue but I am grateful that if I am helping someone out in their own grief then I must be doing something right. Mom has followers in United States, France, Germany, Portugal, China, Spain & South Africa right now. Blessings to each of you that read my letters daily/nightly. Thank you for supporting me in my own personal journey of healing.
 Here is the daily prayer for today. July 8~ For me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge, to tell of all your works. Father in heaven! Draw our hearts to Thee, that our heart may be where our treasure must be that our thoughts may aspire to Thy kingdom where our citizenship is so that our departure when Thou shalt call us may not be a painful separation from this world but a blissful reunion with Thee.... O Lord our God, teach us & strengthen this conviction in our hearts, that also in this life, we belong to Thee. Amen. Knowing God intimately is to have many stories to tell of his goodness. Amen.
 The night sky will probably be upon us earlier than usual because of the weather we have had today. I don't think there will be a sunset or stars & the moon shining bright for me to see but that is ok. I know that you will be giving someone a beautiful sunset & shining bright for them to see. Maybe over the weekend you can " paint "  a beautiful sunset for Mom to see. I will take pictures like I always do. I will whisper to you later so be listening for my voice. Smile & I will too. I miss you so much, Tyler. I miss everything every second of the day. I don't think it will ever get easier...I have to learn to live with it. I love you from the bottom of my heart, mind & soul. That is where you will forever stay. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. May your night be filled with all the things you need to do & want to do. Have many adventures along the way while Mom sleeps tonight. Come visit with me like you did last night. Good night my sweet precious son. Sweet dreams. Until tomorrow....
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
