Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom didn't really have a great night of sleep & I am quite tired today but I am trying to hold my own & stay awake so I will be able to sleep tonight! Mom wanted to write to you now so that at least you got a letter this evening. I didn't want another night to go by where I couldn't write to you. All last week it made me so sad that I just couldn't do it. I couldn't get out of bed, let alone stay awake long enough to even get to my computer even if I wanted to. Mom felt so guilty & I know I have no reason to at all because you know & saw all that I went through & still are going through. Like I said last night.... it still continues to be baby turtle steps for me but the steps are in the right direction. Mom is making sure to drink lots of water today & less ginger ale. I know my body needs the water. Meme spoke to Aunt Beck yesterday & I guess they are in Virginia right now & will be home this weekend or next week. I asked Aunt Beck to help me with some healing work as I have been so sick. Meme told her as well too. Mom is very grateful for all the blessings, healing work, prayers, etc... that I can get. 
 Mom is really so sorry that I really have no updates for you at all. The phones have been super quiet for us. Mark is working a lot as always, pups are the pups.... that is about it. Mom, however did get to talk to Uncle Gregg last night. He called me & we chatted for about an hour or longer. It was good to hear how he was doing. He was telling me that his daughter, his ex-girlfriend & even himself all had what Mom did last week as well. That is a nasty stomach bug that is going around & boy it can go away for good...lol! Mom found some pictures that he wanted of you & him of the wrestling event we all went to. I also found a Stitch keychain of yours that I am going to give him as you both were such big fans of that little character. I know that makes you smile & I am so glad. It makes Mom smile too. Tomorrow, Mom will be alone & will be getting things ready for Grandpa, Debbie, Meme & Bob to be here on Wednesday morning for a couple of days. Hoping the weather holds out for the guys to be able to go to the baseball game Wednesday night though. We are suppose to get rain for the next 3 days again.....lots of rain lately but as the saying goes.... April showers bring May flowers. Mom is hoping to feel up to par to take Meme & Debbie out for a bit & then stay in during the evening so we can watch all the pups & just hang out for a " down " night while the guys are gone. It doesn't sound like much but it will be fun & nice to just chill back & relax. We are the ones that are always on the go when they are here. Mom hopes that Bob will be feeling better too. Guess things are pretty shaky will him again. I know you watch over us all & it means so much. Please continue to my sweet precious son. Thank you.
 The evening sun will be setting early tonight I believe as the clouds are rolling in. Guess there will be no sunset or stars & moon shining in the sky tonight either. It's ok.... Mom will whisper to you as I always do each night. Be listening out for my voice & smile for Mom & I will do the same. Mom is hoping that tomorrow will be a better day for me so that I am able to get to my office & do some school work & catching up on all these prayers & inner peace cards that I need to do. Mom was hoping to do some catch up today but that is not going to happen. I am so sorry. It is now that time of the evening where Mom needs to be thinking of dinner & feeding the pups. Mom usually does this on her own but Mark has been helping me quite a bit the last few nights which is a great change! Mom hopes you come visit me in my dreams tonight while I get some much needed sleep. Hope that you have fun doing all the things you need to & want to do. Mom misses you so much, Tyler & you are my hero...my wind beneath my wings. You will forever live in my heart, mind, body & soul. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. I will be back tomorrow night with another letter to you. Until then.....good night & sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
