Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is really tired. I need to start getting some sleep soon...if Ms. Princess will allow it. Last night was the same thing....she was fine until we went to bed & after the lights were turned off she started to shake & did that for 2-3 hours straight. I think she finely calmed down around 2 am or so. I don't know what to do & I am trying everything but Mom is not getting hardly any sleep & it is effecting me during the days. If there is anything you can do to help Princess out...Mom sure would love that. Thank you so much! 
 The weather today was so nice & sunny but I didn't even go outside. I had just about all I could do to study today. Mom finished her chapter up & did my exam. I managed to get a 95% on it...60 out of 63 questions so I will take it. So far my grades are 5 ~ 100's, 2 ~ 98's, 97, 95 & 2~ 91's. I think I am doing well with it all. I have 1 more exam next week & then I have what they call a Proctor Exam. We shall see how that goes as I am timed for that one. That will be at the end of next week...probably Thursday or Friday. I know you will be right by my side while I take that to ease my nerves & make me calm & I sure do appreciate it so much. I need you, pumpkin. I will always need you! I miss you so much my sweet precious son. I love you more than I could ever express to anyone but I know you feel it in your soul. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. 
 Mom spoke to Grandpa last night for about an hour. We chatted about many things. It was nice to talk to him. I can't wait to see them in 3 weeks. It has been over a month since I have since him & Debbie & it has been almost 3 months since I have seen Meme & Bob. I am getting excited for vacation but I guess I am the most excited to be spending quality time with them for 10 days. I miss our family so much. I am closer now & have been for almost 3 years but I feel like we are so far away. Things have got to chance on that. We live only 2.5 hours away & we need to see each other more & make it happen instead of just talking about it. Life is so precious & short as we both are aware of. Anyways... all is good with everyone. Great Grammy is doing well. Aunt Shirley got a new dog. They adopted it. He is 4 years old & he is cute. He definitely will be spoiled so that makes me smile knowing he is in a loving home now! Meme & Bob are doing well. I spoke to Meme last night briefly too. A few things have changed there & I am so happy. I hope that more changes are coming. It will really make Mom smile. It is about time for them. Meme seems more relaxed too. That is much needed as you know. I did also get an update on our family member that is in the hospital still..... the MRI showed no mass or tumor! Doctors are still watching her closely because they are still deciding on whether they want to do surgery or not. I will keep you updated as I am. I know you are watching over everyone. You make me so proud. I have always been proud of you & I always will be. You really are my true hero, Tyler. You make me want to be the best I can be at everything. I am so in awe with everything you overcame here in the physical world & I am in awe now at what you are seeing, learning, doing in the Heavens above. So many things changed my thinking when I had the 2nd reading with Forrest. I really thought about so much of what was said. What you said to Mom. Since then ( 2 weeks ago today ) I have made some changed in my life as you have been able to witness. Not all have been easy for Mom but I know that they were necessary to do. I don't like hurting anyone as that is not Mom. It is not in my nature as I said before to do such a thing... I like helping others as much as I can. Every day I am feeling more at peace with decisions that I have made & I am feeling better about myself. Some things have been like weight lifted off my shoulders that's for sure. Mom is also helping some ladies out that I never have even met before. They seem very nice as I have chatted with them online. I know they appreciate it a great deal & it puts smiles on all of our faces & their pups! It is a start for the new changes & I know there will be more to come. I look forward to what is in store for me & Mark & where life will take us. One thing for sure is that I know you will be with me every step of the way & for that I feel so loved still from you & it will be what keeps me going! That is all the updates for today that I have. Here is your daily prayer for today. August 24~ O come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! There are many ways I could come into your presence, Lord. I could approach you humbly, knowing that you're a holy God & I'm a sinner. I could come to you with questions. There's so much I want to learn from you. I could also enter your presence with a wish list of prayer requests, because you really care about the desires of our hearts. But today I'm following the psalmist's example, stepping before you with a heart full of thanksgiving. You have abundantly blessed me, dear Lord & I erupt with songs of joy & praise. There's no better attitude than gratitude----Nothing outranks. Thanks. Amen.
 It is again that time of night where Mom needs to be going so that I can feed the dogs, get dinner going & then turn off all the electronics & relax for the night before going to bed. I hope that your night is filled with all the things you need & want to do. Hope you have many adventures along the way while I am sleeping tonight. Please come visit me in my dreams. I will whisper to you later so be listening out for me. I will smile & I hope you will too. I will be looking for my painting from you. Hopefully I get to see it tonight! 
 Good night & sweet dreams, Tyler. Until tomorrow night.....
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
