Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Sunday night? It is all Hallow's Eve tonight...where all the tricking happens! Mom is doing well. Been a pretty busy weekend that is for sure. Sorry I did not get the chance to write to you last night but Mom was taking care of Mark all day. He was pretty sick with the stomach flu. He is feeling better today. We didn't do very much of anything yesterday as Mark couldn't but we did watch 3 movies. I never even got on my computer at all. Today we went out & did some shopping, grocery shopping as well & then I went & got my nails done. I chose a blue. Its a pretty color. Its like the Dallas Cowboy blue...lol! We just got done eating dinner so I thought that I would write to you really quick before our skype call took place. 
 I can't believe that tomorrow is Halloween. It just doesn't seem possible again. It is crazy how time is just passing us by here in the physical world. We don't do the candy thing here where we live. There is really no kids that I have seen & everything is under security that it makes it too difficult to have kids come to each place. I sure miss it though. Last year our complex did a Halloween party but this year I guess they decided against it. Not sure why...it would have been fun. I miss taking you out for trick or treating. It used to make me smile so much. During this time of year I miss you so much more. First it is Halloween & then its the rest of the Holidays. These months are tough. I like them still but I really do hope that they go by quickly. 
 You would have been so proud of Mom...last night I started to watch the Halloween movies... the ones I am so scared of...lol. I whispered to you, did you hear Mom? I bet you were laughing at me. I remember when you would scare me with those damn movies. You used to get such a kick out of it. I would jump, scream, & swear at you then walk away laughing because you did it to me again. I miss you so much my sweet precious son. What I wouldn't give to have you hear with me. To have all those times back again......
 Mom spoke to Meme last night for about an hour. It was so good to just catch up with her. I also spoke to Grandpa as well for about an hour. They are all doing well. I heard that Grammy is doing good too. Today I got a message saying that Uncle Dick was rushed to the hospital by ambulance because he couldn't breathe... yup you guessed it..he has pneumonia once again. He was admitted for a few days for IV Meds. I hope he feels better soon. I got to talk to my friend today. It was the 1st time in like 3 or 4 days. He was very upset. He just seems so unhappy. It hurts to hear that from him. It hurts that he is sad. He said that he maybe headed back up this way & soon. I hope no matter what he decides it is for the best for him. Guess like everything else...time will tell. Please watch over us all, Tyler. I know you do but I always like to ask just the same. Thank you! That is all the updates that I have for you right now but I have the 2 daily prayers that I am behind. Here they are:
 October 29~ You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be happy & it shall go well with you. O my Father in heaven, I love doing your work. It's a great feeling to be filled with your strength, to use the abilities you have given me & to accomplish something in your name. This isn't about earning a special place at your table. I'm not trying to win an extra heavenly crown so I can parade around the golden streets in style. No, I count it a privilege to serve you. I realize that it's only through your power that I accomplish anything. So the only crown I need is your smile. To know that you are pleased with my effort ----that makes it all worthwhile. God works & we work. Amen.
 October 30~ Your decrees are very sure; holiness befits your house, O Lord, forevermore. Does holiness befit in my house, righteous Lord? As I think about the activities that go on in my home, the attitudes displayed & the priorities represented, it is a holy place? I hope so. That's my desire. Do we put more emphasis on loving you than in acquiring electronic gadgets? Do we love each other rather than fight all the time? Is honesty a hallmark of this home or do we sneak & hide & deceive & manipulate? Dear Lord, I want a holy home. That's why I dedicate my dwelling place to you. I want you to feel at home here. Home is where the heart is most fully what it is. Amen.
Mom is all caught up. The night sky is upon us now. I am hoping to see the moon & the stars shining bright but if not I will still whisper to you as I always do. Be listening out for Mom. I will smile & I believe you will too. Remember that you are forever in my heart, mind & soul. That is where you will always remain. You are my hero, my wind beneath my wings. Mom hopes your night is filled with everything that you want & need. Fly high & free like I know you are. Come visit Mom if you can tonight while I am sleeping. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. 
 It is time for our skype call so I have to end this. Good night & sweet dreams, Tyler. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
