Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday morning? Mom is writing to you now because after I am finished with your letter I will be hitting the books & studying. I know when I am finished for the day I will be exhausted & cranky not to mention my eyes will hurt & I will physically be tired. That is what this class does to Mom. It takes everything out of me. Mom has been awake since 6:30 am. Just woke up & couldn't get back to sleep. I know I slept last night but I don't think it was entirely in a deep sleep as I am tired right now. I have actually done quite a bit. Mom got up, fed the pups, made coffee for Mark, gave the pups baths, did laundry, made Mark & I breakfast & prepped half of our dinner for this evening. Mom got ready after all this & just got back from a nice walk with the pups. I wanted to do that before it got really warm out. It is suppose to be 90 degrees today. The wind is blowing ( a nice breeze ) & the skies are so blue. It really is beautiful out. Mom's kind of weather. Your kind of weather too! Mom didn't see much of a sunset last night at all & I didn't see the stars or moon either. Hoping I will get to see all 3 this evening. Mom plans on sitting outside for a bit tonight while having a glass of wine. It will be a nice evening to do that with the weather. Mom will whisper to you later as well just like I do each night. Hope you will smile when you hear my voice & I will make sure to give you a smile as well. 
 Mom did not talk to anyone yesterday on the phone & overall it was a very quiet day. Aunt Beck texted me this morning telling me that Bean is still pretty sick. She even called out on Monday from work & she never does that. Hope she gets better soon. I know you will be watching over her as well. Thank you. No word on Bob & when his app't will be yet... 2 weeks of waiting now. This is just crazy. That is all I got for today. I am sure as the week goes on Mom will have something for you. Here is the daily prayer for the day.
 May 17~ Cast your burden on the Lord & he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved. When I try to carry my burdens on my own, Lord, the weight of them eventually crushes me. In time, I become incapacitated while I stumble along---pride-driven, stubborn & thinking I should be able to do this or that. How much easier & how much better for me to unburden my heart, mind, soul & strength to you, lifting my pack of problems from my shoulder & casting them onto yours! I cannot know God's sustaining grace until I put an end to my self-sustaining ways. Amen.
 Mom has only a few Inner peace cards left & they will be finished. Sunday actually will be the last one. Here is the one for today though: I meditate every day to nurture my soul. Meditation gives you the opportunity to come to know your invisible self. It shatters the illusion of your separateness. 
 Mom wants to you know that you will forever be in my heart, mind, body & soul. You are my true hero & the wind beneath my wings. I miss you unbelievable. I love you with all that I have. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. Mom is hoping that later tonight your evening will be all that you need & want it to be. Have fun while I sleep & come visit me in my dreams if you can. Mom was wondering if you could do me a favor? Today is Snicker's Birthday. He would have been 9 years old. Can you give him a big hug & kiss & tell him that I miss him so much ( Max too! ) I know you are taking real good care of him ( Max too! ) Thank you my sweet precious son. 
 I will be back tomorrow night with another letter so until then.... good night & sweet dreams later.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
