Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you today on this Wednesday evening? Mom has had such a busy day today...it has been crazy. I was up early this morning getting things set for the pups as Mark had a conference call around 8 am with someone in the United Kingdom & also in Mexico. I was able to get ready & start my class at a descent time as well. I was on a roll & I finished it all by 5 pm tonight. My eyes are " buggy " & they are very tired & sore but it is all done. Again, I did all 5 chapters, all the activities, the assignments & the exam at the end not to mention the 24 pages of notes that I took. My next lesson is not until Friday. It will be # 6 which means that I am over half way done now! I can't believe that it is going by this quickly. So far Mom has a 100% in everything. I am busting my hump & I have to say I am pretty proud of myself for this. Pretty soon I will just be focusing on my college classes again. That will be nice. Anyways... Mom has the chance to write to you for a few minutes while part of dinner is cooking & then I will have to go & get the rest ready so everything will be done at the same time. Maybe I will be able to relax around 8 pm if I am lucky. Knowing Mom I will probably fall asleep. I don't really think I slept all that well but I can't say for sure though. I was awake a lot last night. Guess I had lots on my mind. Hopefully tonight you will have the time to be with Mom while I am sleeping or at least come visit me in my dreams. Thank you my sweet precious son. I love you so much. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. I miss you like crazy...no words can ever express just how much but I know you know....that is all that matters to Mom. 
 Mom got the chance to speak to Grandpa last night. He has been working different hours & later at that so that is why I have not heard from him lately. I have been messaging Meme back & forth as well. Her & Bob are doing good. Still nothing from Aunt Beck but I am sure she is somewhere that doesn't have the Internet. I know when she can she will drop me a quick note telling me how she is. Mom is still surprise at how many followers still read my letters to you daily. Many thanks to everyone who does in the United States, France, Portugal, Germany, Philippines, & India. I hope in some way you either just enjoy reading the letters or possibly in some way I am helping you while I am helping myself. Blessings to each & every one of you. Mom did get to speak to her friend yesterday...the one who has been in the hospital a lot....well she is back in again...for the same thing but this time it is much worse. I guess the doctors are saying that she will be transported to Boston for her surgery...sooner rather than later as it is very much needed at this time. hings are grim at this time but so many family & friends are praying for her. She has to have a serious surgery to remove her pancreas & part of her small intestine. She had a transplant 8 years ago & her body is rejecting it. She will have to go 1 year without anything & then she can be put on the donor list again. Mom is praying that she will be ok as she has a son that is 15 going through chemo for bone cancer & an 11 year old who is healthy but just needs his Mom. My heart breaks for her. You know her & I know you will do all you can from where you are. Thanks Tyler. The last update I have for you is that Auntie Ann had an appointment that did not go well for her. She will be having surgery in Boston as well in 2 weeks. Not sure what it is about but I know you know & will be watching over her too. I think that is all I have for you tonight.
 Here is the daily prayer for February 1~ I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness & sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High. Along with the psalmist, Lord, I thank you. You have blessed my life richly & I live each day in gratitude. Each breath I take is a gift from you. Each move I make stems from the power you bestow. All I am & all I have belong to you. Accept the expressions of my heart as songs of praise to you, my great & loving Lord. Let my entire life be an offering to you. With gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns & spiritual songs to God & whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the father through him. Amen.
 Mom needs to get going in a couple minutes but I wanted to tell you that you are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You will forever live in my heart, mind, body & soul. I hope that your night will be all that you need & like it to be. Have fun while I sleep tonight. Continue to fly high & free like I know you are. Please watch over us all...thank you. Mom will whisper to you as I always do so be listening out for my voice. Smile & Mom will too. Good night & sweet dreams, Tyler. My love for you in unconditional.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

P.S. Here is my quote for the day to you: " You have a place in my heart that no one else can have. " That is so true. I love you xoxoxo.
