Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday evening? Mom has been straight out today with studying & it is now 6:30 pm & I haven't even started my night routine. I wanted to just write a quick letter to you tonight to let you know I was missing you & that I loved you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. 
 Today it was 81 degrees. I got to go out for a little bit & take the pups for a walk. Tomorrow Mark is at his office & I will be home studying more. The forecast is calling for heavy rain & thunderstorms all day so that should be fun with 2 dogs that are terrified of them. Please be with Mom so that I can handle it all on my own. Thanks my sweet precious son. I can use all the help I can get to stay sane....lol. 
 Everything is good all around with our family & friends. I spoke to Grandpa & Meme today & I chatted with Debbie & our cousin, Jeffery today as well. That was a very nice surprise. He seems to be doing great. Still in Tennessee & is in a new relationship with a girl that has a little boy. He looks happy! I am happy for him. Not much else for updates as it was a very quiet day with the telephone again. Mom can't believe that this Sunday ( like 5 days from now ) it will be Easter. This makes Mom's 5th one without you. Mark & Mom are staying home & not going anywhere. We will enjoy the quiet of the day. It is suppose to be sunny & 77 degrees so maybe we will take the pups for a very long walk. It will be quiet as everyone will be celebrating with their families that day. Mom will keep you posted though. 
 Here is the daily prayer for the day: April 11~ He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul. He leads me in the right paths for his name's sake. O Sovereign & almighty Lord, bless all thy people & all thy flock. Give thy peace, thy help, thy love unto us thy servants, the sheep of thy fold, that we may be united in the bond of peace & love, on body & one spirit, in one hope of our calling, in thy divine & boundless love. The thief comes only to steal & kill & destroy. I came that they may have life & have i abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. Amen. 
 Here is Day 24 of the Inner Peace cards: I create the world that I live in. No one can create negativity or stress within you. Only you can do that by virtue of how you process your world. Very true indeed. Mom chooses to live a " vanilla " lifestyle now as for many years we both lived a " rocky road" one. I don't get into the drama & I basically keep to myself. I don't need the stress of it all either. I need to be able to just relax & live my life the way I am. Not every one can like it the way I am doing it but that is alright. They don't walk in my shoes. I have learned this the hard way & I wish I would have learned it earlier in life. I think things could have been different for the both of us. Guilt gets me there & gets the best of me. 
 It is getting really late, Tyler & mom needs to get going. I wish you a wonderful evening doing all the things you need to & want to do. Have fun while I sleep tonight. Come visit Mom if you can. Thank you. I will whisper to you later tonight so be listening out for my voice. When you see the candle burning, know it is for you. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You live forever inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom will be back tomorrow night with another letter but until then.....good night & sweet dreams. Love you more than all the stars in the sky.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
