Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom is sure you are somewhere warm & sunny & definitely not where I am where it is super cold. Mom's ready for the winter weather for some reason but I do not think that my old bones are ready for it...lol. Mom is sorry that I did not write to you last night but quite frankly I was not feeling all that great. Mark even said that I was having an off day & he noticed it. He kept asking what was wrong with me but I couldn't give him an answer as I didn't even know myself. I just knew that I wasn't feeling like myself & I was just feeling blah. Mark tried cheering Mom up with playing golf on the PS3 but that didn't even do it. I went to bed really early in hopes of getting a good night sleep but that didn't even happen. Mom is doing better today for the most part. I know that something is still off but Mom just can't pin point to what it is. I think I have an idea.... just be with me as much as you can...ok, Tyler? I need you ....I always do my sweet precious son. Thank you! 
 The weather today has been overcast & cloudy. It said we were going to get rain & I believe that it is raining now but not sure. The temp is only in the 40's again. I don't believe that I will be seeing anything shining in the sky tonight but I will look just the same. I will whisper to you as I always do so be listening out for my voice. I will smile when I talk to you & I will be closing my eyes so that I can see your smile...the smile I miss so very much. No matter what.... we are still under the sky big sky...it's just a little different for us now. I miss you so much. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul. That will never change. You live there forever & always.
 Mom has a couple updates for you.... Aunt Jacqui is doing much better. Her infection is finally gone from her spine. It took almost 3 months for that. She got her Pic Line out today so that is good news. Spoke to Meme...her & Bob are well but she was telling me that Spencer has moved back to Claremont. I was so surprised to hear that. I spoke to him briefly & he was saying that it was a very tough decision but the best one he could make for right now. His little boy is still in Florida with the Mom. I also heard that Adam has gotten himself in a bit of trouble & is either still in jail or he is now out. Mom is just so floored about this as he was always such a good guy. Please watch over Spencer & Adam as I know you do. Mom thinks that they may need just a little extra right now. Grandpa & everyone else is doing well. Just working a lot still. Mark is also working a lot of hours as usual. Mom will be getting her new books for her class tomorrow & it will be the last one for this semester. 3 more to go...lol! Mom's friends brother that was in the accident a couple months ago will be going to rehab soon. Mom gets updates about him from time to time. He has come a long way but still has a long way to go but we both know that after rehab he will be able to go back home. Do you remember your rehab in Delaware? Oh Mom does. I remember it like it was yesterday. We left on November 14 & got back 1 week before Christmas that year. That was a very long month being away from all our family & friends. Rough times but we all made it through together....just like always. I think that is all the updates I have for you right now. More later in the week.
 Here are the daily prayers that I need catching up on. October 26~ O magnify the Lord with me & let us exalt his name together. Dear Lord, I can talk with my friends about anything & everything---traffic, children, weather, TV & sports---you name it. But it's harder to talk about you. Why is that? Lord, it should be the most natural thing in the world to share what you're doing in my life & to hear similar reports from others. Help me open up about you, so my friends & I can magnify you together. You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lamp stand & it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others. Amen.
 October 27~ For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy. I rejoice today, O brilliant Creator, in the glory of what you have made. The sheer majesty of mountains & oceans is awe-inspiring, not to mention planets & galaxies. But it's just as inspiring if I turn my gaze to the tiniest parts of your creation---an insect's body armor, a plants growth process & a strand of human DNA. You have made everything with wit & wonder, including me! I am privileged to be called your child.  People quibble about the process of creation, but it's the purpose that's actually important. Amen.
 All caught up yet again! It is that time of night where Mom needs to get going so that I can feed the puppies & get our own dinner going. Mom hopes that your night is everything you need & want it to be. May it be peaceful & adventurous as you want! Have fun while Mom is sleeping tonight. Come visit me in my dreams. I will be waiting for you! Continue to fly high & free. Tell everyone where you are that Mom loves them & misses them too. Thanks! Good night & sweet dreams, Tyler. I love you with everything I have. Until tomorrow.....
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
