Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is writing to you now because I am extremely tired & I will be getting off my computer after I write you this letter & taking it easy today. I am so sorry that I didn't write to you Saturday night & the letter I wrote last night was so short but this weekend was so messed up for Mom. This is what happened..... Saturday Mark & Mom were suppose to go out & do all the errands that we normally do. We both got ready, took the pups out for a walk & then as we were ready to leave... Mom was not feeling good at all. To say the least we cancelled all our plans & stayed in for the day. Mom was sick all day & all night. We did not do a thing. We played golf on the PS3 & then watched a movie. Mom went to bed early too. Sunday we woke up early & got ready, took the pups for a walk & then headed out for the day to do everything that we were going to do on Saturday. We went to lunch around 1 pm & then came home. Mark's friend Rick came over for a couple hours & around 5 pm Mom started to feel sick again. Mark had to go to bed early as he had to get up at 1 am to go to work & do a " cut over " for one of his clients. Mom was sick through the night & into this morning. I got very little sick. Mark got home this morning around 11 am. Mom was feeling good so I decided to eat breakfast. It has been a couple hours since I ate & now I am feeling sick again. I am thinking there is some kind of stomach bug going around. It can leave anytime now! Mom wants to just lay low again today & get some much needed rest. I will start my studies back up tomorrow again & try to make the best of this dang class I am not enjoying at all. 
 Mom spoke to Meme just a bit ago while she was on her lunch break. She is still pretty upset about the accident & is depressed a bit. I can't say I don't blame her. I don't think she was in the wrong at all. Mom saw the pictures. There is just no way. I am glad that she did not get hurt & neither did the couple in the other vehicle. Thank you for watching over her my sweet precious son. She was also telling me that their neighbor & friend, Don passed away Saturday. That was sad to hear. He was a really nice man. He helped Bob out a lot when he was ill. May Don R.I.P. now & gain his Angel Wings like you. Mom will touch base with everyone else later in the week to see how they are & I will give you updates on that then. 
 I do have several daily prayers to catch up on so here they are: March 3~ By your favor, O Lord, you....established me as a strong mountain. Your grace & your favor in my life have steadied me & caused me to grow strong in gratitude & trust. I have learned much in the hard times of life but no less significant are the lessons I have learned when you have shown me your goodness. I have learned not to attribute my successes & blessings to myself; I have learned to acknowledge you as the source of every good gift I have. I want to praise you for this inner strength that carries me through circumstances I may encounter, I am strong in you. Is there a mountain at which you can gaze today, whether out your window or in a picture? Let it remind you of how firmly God has established your faith by his grace. Amen.
 March 4~ Sing praises to the Lord, O you his faithful ones & give thanks to his holy name. My Lord, even when i don't feel like singing, please remind me of how much you deserve to be praised. And if I am slow to respond with my own voice, help me express my song along with the help of others who are singing your praises----whether in a worship service or with a song on the radio. If it takes an MP3 player to get my praises flowing, then use that technology to help me glorify you. Don't let me miss an opportunity to sing your praises today. You're truly deserving of every bit of worship that I can lift to you. It doesn't matter if our singing is angelic or we're just plain tone deaf, God's ear listens, not for the right notes but for a spirit of truth in our praises. With this kind of worship, he is well pleased. Amen.
 March 5~ You have turned my mourning into dancing; you have taken off my sackcloth & clothed me with joy. As winter's mournful ways begin to dissolve & spring's joyful face emerges, almighty Lord, I recall that you are the one who made the seasons of the earth, which so aptly reflect the seasons of my own life. From within times of mourning, it seems as if things will never be different, that my heart will remain frozen with grief & clouded over with pain. But each successive day moves me steadily, though often imperceptibly, toward a new season of heart, soul, & mind. Thank you for your sure & gentle ways that teach me----when I've forgotten how----to dance once again. Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of the Christ risen. Amen.
 March 6~ Happy are those transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Father in heaven! Hold not our sins up against us but hold us up against our sins, so that the thought of Thee when it wakens in our soul & each time it wakens, should not remind us of what we have committed but of what Thou didst forgive, not of how we went astray, but how Thou didst save us. Today I will remember to receive God's grace in the way it is offered----as a precious gift. Amen.
 Wow..... Mom is finally all caught up on the prayers. That was a lot. A lot more than what I thought I had to write. Usually this is where Mom has a couple quotes for you but honestly I don't have any right now. I will get some later today & write a couple on tomorrows letter to you. My eyes are so heavy right now. I think I will go & lay down for a bit to see if I can feel better in a few hours. I know it is because I am so tired. Please continue to watch over Mom & the rest of our family & friends. Thank you. I hope that your evening is filled with all the things you need & want to do. May you have fun & fly high & free. Come visit Mom again in my dreams like you did last night. I will whisper to you as I always do tonight when the night sky appears. Be listening for my voice. I will smile & I hope you will too! Remember you are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You live forever in my heart, mind, body & soul. 
 Mom is going to close this letter now as I am not feeling the greatest. I am going to go snuggle up with a blanket & the pups & just hopefully sleep. Until tomorrow....good night & sweet dreams, Tyler. My love for you is unconditional. I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
