Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday evening? Mom has to be honest & tell you that I am cranky & very ugly right now..... I am just so tired it is not funny. Ms. Princess kept us awake again last night until 3 am. Mom finally got to sleep & woke up at 8:30 am. This is the 6th night in a row that we have no idea what to do or what is going on with her anymore. I did try to call the vets earlier today & the Dr. that we use is away until Monday. I am hoping that all will be ok tonight. I am praying that Mark & Mom get some sleep as Mark is working some long hours tomorrow & Mom has to study. I took the day off today because I am just not worth much at all & I didn't want to get a failing grade. Again, anything that you can do to try & help Princess or us it would be gladly appreciated. Thanks!
 This afternoon Mom sat outside for a bit just to take in the warm air & the sun. It was nice & muggy. I probably sat out there for about 90 minutes or so...just in the quiet. I saw 2 dragonflies while I was out there. It made me smile. I wondered if one of them was you... I whispered hello to you anyways. Last night Mom spoke to our cousin, Andrea. It was really nice to chat with her as it has been a pretty long time. Things are going well with her. Stressed about things but guess that is part of life. We talked about our family member that is still in the hospital. The doctors decided yesterday that they were going to perform surgery on her back/spine as she has an infection. They were going to scrape & biopsy it as well. Surgery was suppose to be early this morning. I have now found out that the doctors were going to do the surgery later this afternoon but again I received an update stating that they now have decided to not do surgery at all & just continue to heavily medicate her. Some things never change do they, Ty? I remember those games all to well with you & the doctors. It it so hard on everyone but the hardest on the patient. I really hope they figure things out for her. No one knows when she will be released though. Our other family member is doing ok. I received an update on him as well. Looks like he is again not taking things seriously & not doing what the doctors told him to do. This makes me sad to learn but you can't force anyone to do something they are not willing to do, ya know? I hope that he is at least doing a few things here & there. Mom is worried about them both but I know they are in good hands & have many of Angels watching over them....You, Nana, Pepe, Aldo, Betty & so many others. That at least makes me feel a little bit better. I also got to chat with Grandpa, Debbie & Meme last night as well. I am keeping everyone updated as I know. Everyone seems to be doing fine so that is good. Still have not had the chance to connect with Aunt Beck but I know she is quite busy. I believe that she is away this weekend so I will have to connect with her some time next week. That is all the updates that I have right now. I am sure I will have more to come over the weekend.
 Here is your daily prayer for today. August 25~ For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all Gods. Our God, God of all humanity, God of Heaven & Earth, Seas & Rivers, God of the Sun & Moon, of all the Stars, God of High Mountain & Lowly Valley, God over Heaven & in Heaven & under Heaven. You have a dwelling in Heaven & Earth & Sea & in all things that are in them. You inspire all things, bring all things to life. You are over all things, you support all things. You make the light of the sun to shine, You surround the moon & the stars, You have made wells in the arid Earth, placed dry islands in the sea. Your Son is Co-Eternal with you, And the holy Spirit breathes in you. Indeed he is not far from each one of us. For " In him we live & move & have our being. " Amen.
 So guess what time it is my sweet precious son? You got it.... it is the time of night where Mom turns off her electronics, feeds the pups & gets ready to relax for the night. I think tonight will be a movie night while I crawl on the couch with a blanket. Don't really feel like doing much else. Mom is hoping that you have a wonderful night while I try & sleep. May it be everything that you want & need. I hope you come visit me in my dreams tonight. I miss you so much & I could really use a Tyler chat. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are forever in my heart, mind, & soul & you are my wind beneath my wings. Good night, Tyler & sweet dreams. Mom will whisper to you later when I look up to the sky. Hope I see the stars & moon tonight as well. I am still waiting patiently for my " painting. " Hope I see that tonight too. Until tomorrow.....shine bright my sweet star!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
