Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday evening? Mom wanted to write to you quickly tonight & tell you how much I miss you & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Things are pretty busy here right now & I am sorry that I did not write to you last night. Mom's friend Gary got here last night around 7 pm. We sat around & chatted last night until 11 pm & then everyone went to bed. Today we got up & got ready & then went to go see his brother in the hospital. After not seeing him for about a month...he is doing really well. He looks great. Mom kept thinking while we were visiting just how much he is a lucky man. We met his girlfriend as well. She is a home health care nurse. She is a very nice gal & they look really happy. That was nice to see. Gary did really well too. Mom was so proud of him as it is not easy for him at all. Family is family & they stick together through rough times. We know all about that, don't we, Tyler? We were very lucky to have the family that we have. We may not always get along but we stick together through it all. You were that " glue " that we needed. Thank you my sweet precious son. 
 Mom doesn't have really any updates for you as I haven't been on the phone much in the last couple days. I did speak to Meme. She seemed very frustrated with things tonight. Not sure what is going on but I could hear it in her voice. It was quite disturbing actually. I hope whatever it is gets better. I am sure Mom will chat with Grandpa either tonight or tomorrow night. We also have our usual skype call with Tubal & Karen tonight. I will keep you updated as I know things. 
 The night sky is upon us now. We had to change the clocks again...back 1 hour starting last night. That means the days are so much shorter & it gets dark at like 4 pm now. The sunset tonight was so pretty. You made Mom smile with your " painting" in the sky. I still am not seeing any stars shining or the moon but that is ok. I know you are shining bright for someone that needs it more than Mom. I will whisper to you as I always do. Be listening out for my voice. Smile & so will I. Mom hopes that your evening will be all that you want & need it to be. Come visit me in my dreams tonight. I saw you in them last night. Thank you. It meant the world to me. I have a couple daily prayers to catch up on right now so here they are:
 November 5~ Faithfulness will spring up from the ground & righteousness will look down from the sky. When you preside over hearts, homes, & nations, Lord, your ways become established, your ways of faithfulness & righteousness. I know there are no perfect people, families or countries, but there are people & places you have made pleasant by your grace at work within them. Please make me one of those people whose presence is a pleasant place for others to be. Reveal your own goodness through my life---- your righteousness & faithfulness. In your name, I ask. Amen. There's a special man at my church. He never fails to show up & help get things ready for the worship service. If he didn't show up, people would be alarmed; he's that faithful. He has some other wonderful character qualities; for example, he's humble---the guy's an M.D. who has discovered cures for diseases---and is as glad to set up coffee pots as he is to go on medical mission trips. The time he's spent in God's hands has made him that way. Amen.
 November 6~ The lord will give what is good & our land will yield its increase. Almighty Lord, the soil of my soul is daily gathering the seeds of my thoughts, attitudes & deeds. May your own hands weed the soil & cause only the best to grow as I confess my failings & give you glory for the good you've sown within me. Jesus said to him, ".....No one is good but God alone. Amen.
 Mom is all caught up. I am going to get ready to play a game with Mark & Gary. Wish me luck. I am sure that you will be laughing at me. I can hear that laugh of yours now in my head. Remember you are forever in my heart, mind & soul. You are Mom's hero, my wind beneath my wings & I love you unconditionally. Good night & sweet dreams, Tyler. Until tomorrow.....
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
