Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing today on this Monday evening? Mom actually has had a pretty productive day for it being a Monday! The weather today is just perfect, Ty. It is the weather that we both love. It reached 75 degrees & the sun was shining bright all day. I wish every day could be like this. I really miss the warm weather....the sun always shining & just a few days of rain. Tomorrow the temperature is suppose to reach 80 degrees. Oh how I can't wait for that! Mom will be sure to get outside for some of it & not miss the whole day away by studying. Mark has to go to a client so I will have the day to myself. I am ok with that. The pups & I will go for a nice long walk & then they will sleep all day long. It is so nice to hear the birds chirping. Mom has had the balcony door open all day. It is nice to not here the heat come on or hear the AC. Sometimes it is just the little things that matter the most..... for Mom those are all the times. I don't care about material things at all. I never have. You were so much like Mom.... you felt the same way. These days I miss you more than ever. They take me back to the times when we would be outside for hours... talking, playing a game, taking a walk....it never mattered what we did as long as we were together. I cherished those times so much. I wish I would have told you that more often though. I hope you know it now. I hope you feel it in your soul. You were my everything. My hero & the wind beneath my wings. I miss you so much my sweet precious son. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. 
 Mom is hoping that the sunset tonight will be amazing. The sky is cloudless & blue. It is so pretty. I saw the stars shining last night when I was sitting on the balcony. Later when I came in I saw the moon too. I smiled so I hope you saw Mom. Hope I get to see it all again this evening. Mom will be making dinner here shortly & after that I want to take the pups out again for another walk. I am sure Mark & Mom will be sitting outside again just to relax & chat about our day. He has been quite busy on the phone so we have not spoke much at all. Mom got a lot done too. This morning I did some dusting, rearranged my office a little, put a few things up on the walls that needed to get done, folded clothes, got ready, took the pups for their long walk & then came inside & started my studying right after I made a couple phone calls that needed to get done as well. It is now 5 pm & I am running late but that is ok. I will finish my letter to you & then I will get the evening routine started for us. 
 Mom doesn't have any updates for you really. I didn't chat with any of the family or our friends last night or today. I am sure to in the next night or so. I  can imagine that they are busy in doing their stuff. I will update you as I know of things. Oh yeah....don't forget that it is Megan's Birthday. Yesterday was Ramon's Birthday. I chatted with Megan today & wished her a nice day. It is always good to chat with her. She is the only one in that whole family who does talk to Mom. Oh well I won't dwell on it as I know they never think of me so why waste my time, ya know? Anyways... stop on by & see if if you can. She will know it if you do! 
 Here is the daily prayer & day 23 of the Inner Peace cards for you: April 10~ Teach me your way, O Lord & lead me on a level path because of my enemies. Dear Lord, because I get tripped up so easily, please stay close beside me. Every step of the way, keep guiding me. When I interact with others in my daily work, give me a wise head & a caring heart. When I spread time with my family, show me how to serve them best. When I face temptations, show me a way out. I know it's east to fall; please keep me upright. God is faithful & he will let you be tested beyond your strength but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it. Amen. 
 I treasure all of my experiences I've had in my life. Each experience in your life was absolutely necessary in order to have gotten you to the place & the next, up until this very moment. Some of my experiences in Mom's life since the age of 17 have been harsh but I always tell folks that it is because of everything I have gone through that I am the person I am today. I truly believe that. I used to tell you that all the time, do you remember that? 
 Unfortunately Mom needs to get going now as the time is ticking & dinner needs to be prepped for Mark & I & I still need to feed the pups. Mom hopes that your evening will be fun doing all the things you need to & want to do. Visit me in my dreams tonight, ok? Mom will whisper to you later so be listening out for me. Smile & I will be sure to smile back. I will be back tomorrow with another letter so until then.....good night & sweet dreams. Enjoy the all the pics that I post on here as well. They will have the dogs still & the quotes & sayings but Mom will also post another animal of some kind nightly as well. Hope they make you smile like they do me. I love you Tyler.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
