Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you on this Monday evening? It sure is a typical Monday for Mom....ugh! The only thing that is going right today is that the weather was so beautiful outside. The temp was 60 degrees at least & sunny. I guess tomorrow it is suppose to rain all day & heavy at times at that. Doesn't look like it will be sunny again until Sunday. That makes me grumpy. I am so sick of the snow & all the rain. I just want the days to be sunny & to start warming up. I think it is time for Mom to move away again to get the weather that she wants...lol! Today has also been a day for just sad news for so many people that Mom knows. I was told last night that several of my " Mom " friends are helping their children grieve today as they all lost a sweet friend. This 18 year old girl committed suicide last night. No reason to why she did it, etc.... She was so young. May she R.I.P. now. Another friend of mine lost her Dad as well due to a horse accident. It happened last week & he had been at the hospital since the incident. He was taken off life support a week ago & he passed either last night or today. May he R.I.P. now as well. Mom found out that someone from her past ( you know who he is...no names.... ) lives pretty close by & has for the past 2 years. Mom is very uncomfortable to hear of this news because it is a part of her life that she would rather forget about. It was not nice & it was very hurtful, both mentally & physically. I would like to think that it has been several years now ( 5 to be exact ) that he has moved forward & moved on. I hear he has a girlfriend & they live together now but the track record that he has does not make me feel comfortable at all knowing he is that close by. Mom does not trust him one bit. Please watch over Mom. I need you, pumpkin. Thank you.
 Mom doesn't have any new updates for you as we did not skype with Tubal & Karen last night. Guess we had the wrong week. We did find out that everything is ok though. Mom didn't even speak to Grandpa either which is weird because I usually do. Maybe tonight. Today has been a quiet day for the telephone. Mark has worked all day & Mom actually cracked open her book to study. I didn't get all that far but I am making progress. I will be back at it tomorrow as well. I am getting back on track with this so I can finish it up & graduate. I know you will be with me through this all so again I say thank you. It is definitely tough but I will not let it get the best of me. I will make it. Mom hopes to have some kind of updates for you in the next day or two. Mark just has a busy week & so do I. I look forward to the weekend when things calm down! 
 Here is the daily prayer for the day: April 3~ Save us, we beseech you, O Lord! O Lord, we beseech you, give us success! It seems as though everyone is grasping for success. In this dog-eat-dog world, there's plenty of pressure to come out on top. Lord, you know I want success too----success in the projects I do each day in my family life & in my dealings with others. Grant me success, I pray! But then I wonder, what is success? And I need to come back to you for the answer. Grant me true success, Lord, not the materialistic success the world offers. Let me be truly effective in doing what you want. The Hebrew words for " Save us, Lord! " from psalm 118 form basis of the Hosanna shout offered at the triumphal entry of Jesus. It was a cry of praise, but also a call for help directed to someone with the power to help. Amen.
 Here is day 21 of the inner peace cards: True happiness resides within me. Most people are searching for happiness outside of themselves. That's a fundamental mistake. Happiness is something that you are & it comes from the way that you think. I guess Mom has a lot of work to do then after reading this card. I know that I am kind, generous, loving, etc... person but I have things to work on & things to change. I am not happy about a few things & they are dragging me down. I know that it won't always be this way... things will eventually change. You know that, right? I hope so.
 It is beyond that time of night for Mom. I am late feeding the pups & getting dinner going for Mark & Mom. I need to get going or we will be eating super late tonight & I don't want that to happen. I hope that your evening will be all that you want & need it to be. Come visit me if you can. Mom will whisper to you as I always do so be listening out for my voice. Smile & I will too. Always know & feel it in your soul that you are my hero 7 the wind beneath my wings. You are forever in my heart, mind, body & soul. I miss you so much & I love you unconditional. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. Until tomorrow night.... sweet dreams & good night my sweet precious son.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
