Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday evening? Mom is doing well tonight. I actually got some sleep last night & today has been a pretty productive day for me. I submitted my exam for school & will see what I get in the next few days. I guess I will not be able to do my Proctor exam before we leave on Friday. I was pretty bummed at that but there is nothing I can do. Its up to the college on that. I finished the Psychology course so hopefully I will get a good final grade. Mark worked all day long. He left early this morning & got home pretty late tonight. We actually just got done eating dinner & its almost 8 pm. Tomorrow & Wednesday will be quite busy as well. Lots of little things to do before everyone gets here on Thursday. Mom is starting to get excited & nervous. I know we will have a good time. I just want the weather to work out for us.... please help us with that, Tyler. Thanks pumpkin!
 Mom spoke to Aunt Beck today. They are getting to leave early tomorrow morning for their vacation. I also got to speak to Meme for a few minutes. She is tired & wanted to go lay down. Bob is getting excited to go. Right now as I am writing to you, Mom is also chatting with Grandpa. He was telling me that he went to visit you today. That made me smile. He tells me that he goes there quite frequently. I am sure that makes you smile too. Mom also got to speak to my sweet friend today. I haven't spoken to him in almost 1 1/2 months. It was really good to hear their voice! It made Mom smile & shed a few tears. That is all the updates that I have for you for tonight. I do have your daily prayer for the day. 
 September 12~ I kept my faith, even when I said, " I am greatly afflicted. "  Lord, I don't understand my suffering, but I will choose to trust you anyway. You are my strength & deliverer. I praise you with all my heart. I asked God for strength, that I might achieve..... I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey, I asked for health, that I might do greater things.....I was given infirmity, that I might do better things. I asked for riches, that I might be happy.... I was given poverty, that I might be wise. I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men.....I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of god. I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life..... I was given life, that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing that I asked for----but everything I had hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am, among all men, most richly blessed. Amen. 
 The night sky is upon us for the night. The moon is shining & I saw it. I looked at it for a few minutes. I know the stars are shining bright too. Mom will be whispering to you in a bit... be listening out for me. I will smile & I hope you do as well. Hope that your night is all that you want & need it be. Have fun & some adventures too. Come visit Mom if you can. I love it when you do. It lets me know you are doing well. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul. You are the wind beneath my wings & my true hero. I miss you more than words can say & I love you unconditionally my sweet precious son. Continue to fly high & free. Good night & sweet dreams. Until tomorrow.....
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
