Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday evening? Mom has a little bit of time to write to you before I have to go make dinner. The day has flown right by. Mom was up early this morning for a change. I got ready, took the dogs for a nice walk & then I headed straight for my books. I am 1/2 way through my 2nd chapter & I will be submitting the exam tomorrow afternoon. Things are still going well with my studies but I am slowing down & not making myself go crazy trying to get through it so fast. I think it is helping me a lot more. I know that you are right by my side & it is where I want you to be! Thank you for that. Again....it is because of you that I am where I am at in all this studying. 
 The weather yesterday & today was so beautiful. The sun was shining bright & the sky was just so blue. Mom got to take some time to sit out on the balcony & just enjoy the fresh air for a bit. It was really nice to just take it all in. The temp was just right & the birds were just singing away. I saw a big dragonfly too. It was neat. It made me smile for some reason. The temp today was also nice. The sun was shining all day & the temp was beautiful...not to hot but not to cool either. Fall is definitely in the air. The leaves are turning colors & getting all dry & crisp so you know they will be falling soon. The night sky is upon us much quicker every day. Instead of it being around 9 pm or so it is now getting dark at 7:45 pm. It makes me sad that summer is almost over but Fall is my ( our ) favorite time of the year. I just don't like the season that comes after that...lol. I guess they are saying that we are in for a brutal winter...very cold & lots of snow. I really hope that it is not true. I hope it is no where near what we had the 1st winter we arrived back North. I guess only time will tell, huh? Mom is hoping that tonight it will be clear so that I can see the moon & stars shining bright again. I will whisper to you as I always do. Smile when you hear Mom's voice & I will smile as well. 
 Mom only has a couple updates for you tonight. I was messaging Aunt Beck earlier today & things seem well with her & John. Forrest's visit was really nice. They had a good time. He is now on his way to the West Coast until mid October. He told Aunt Beck that he really liked working with you & Mom. That was just so sweet of him. I replayed the recording back of our session & he did indeed say it on that too. The next time I do a reading Mom is hoping that it will be face to face with Forrest. Aunt Beck said we can go to her house when he is there so that will be really nice. I look forward to that very much. I would love to meet him. Again.... Mom is not going to name names as you already know but 1 of our family members is out of the hospital but has very strict instructions on what needs to be done & what not to do. I really hope that they will listen as this is getting really crucial to their health. Our other family member is still in the ICU being monitored as some things have changed. Another MRI was done today because the doctors saw a mass on the spine along with the blood clot. We are all hoping for the best & keeping our fingers crossed that it is nothing. I know you are watching over them as you watch over all of us. Thank you so much for all that you do my sweet precious son. It means so much to us. I think that is all for tonight. I am sure to have more in the next few days. Mom does have a couple daily prayers to write to you so here they are. August 22~ Let my prayer be counted as incense before you, and the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice. In ancient times the sweet smell of incense would rise from the Israelites' houses of worship. Today I ask you to accept the sweet savor of my praises. I love you with all that I am. I devote myself to you. I honor & glorify you. I lift my heart to you, as well as my hands. Receive my praises & enjoy their aroma. They come from a sincere heart. Thanks be to God, who Christ always leads us in triumphal procession & through us spreads in every place the fragrance that comes from knowing him. Amen.
 August 23~ My days are like an evening shadow; I wither away like grass. But you, O Lord, are enthroned forever; your name endures to all generations. Creator of the universe, you make amazing sunsets. I love to watch the colors change as the light of day fades. It's truly beautiful but it vanishes all too quickly. I want to freeze those moments in time & enjoy them longer. Frankly, there are a lot of moments I want to savor & they all seem to pass too quickly. Life rushes on & age keeps gaining on me. But time is nothing to you, eternal God. And the life you offer me is everlasting. I don't need to fear the tenacious tide of time. I just need to keep investing in my future life with you. Do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years & a thousand years are like one day. The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some think of slowness, but patient with you. Amen.
Mom is all caught up once again with the prayers. It is now that time of night...well actually it is later than normal ( it's 6:30 pm ) for Mom to be thinking of making dinner. The pups have been fed but will be looking to go out for their nightly walk soon. Mom is hoping to get a good nights sleep as Miss Princess has not been sleeping & keeping me up most of the night. She is really spooked lately because of noises & she just lays there & shakes. If you can help her out that would be great, Tyler. I feel so bad for her but don't know what to do so I just hold her & pet her to try & keep her calm. 
 Mom hopes that your night is filled with peace, love, light & all kinds of adventures. Hope that you do all that you need to do, want to do & then some. I know you are flying freely wherever that may be & I am so happy for you. I miss you though...more than words but my heart is finding more peace for you each day. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. Come visit me in my dreams tonight if you can. Mom would love that! Remember, Tyler, you are forever in my heart, mind & soul. You are my true hero & my wind beneath my wings. Good night & sweet dreams. Until tomorrow....
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
