Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday evening? Mom is sorry that I did not write to you last night but during the day Mark & Mom ran around doing errands & about 15 minutes after we got home Mark's friend showed up, Mom put groceries away & started to prep dinner for the evening. I think Mom sat down at 8 pm & I was in bed by 10 pm with a swollen ankle. Guess I twisted it at some point during the day. Today, Mom was up at 8 am & made breakfast for the guys & then did all the dishes & clean up. After that I got ready & took the pups for their usual walk. After that Mom has been basically sitting down & watching TV as my ankle is still pretty sore. This is the 1st time in 2 days that my computer has been on at all. Mark's friend left about 4 pm. Rick is a good guy. We had a good time with him just laughing & joking around. The guys played a video game for a bit while Mom was relaxing so it all worked out. In about an hour we have our skype call with Tubal & Karen so that will be nice. Tomorrow is Memorial Day so Mark is off from work & Mom won't be doing any schooling either. It should be a relaxing day as well because it is going to be rainy once again but the rest of the week will be sunny so that will be nice. Mom is really looking forward to that for sure. Everything else is about the same. No new updates for you as the phones have been quite quiet over the weekend. I am sure that everyone is just enjoying their long holiday weekend & relaxing which is exactly what everyone should be doing along with thanking every Military person & Veteran for letting us relax....because if it was not for them we wouldn't be! I am sure that Mom will have some kind of updates for you during the week when I do get the chance to chat with our family & friends. Mom has been doing a lot of thinking & has made some decisions to help better myself. I am pretty happy & content with every choice so far. I am going to focus hard on my school so that I can graduate soon. I am staying off social media more as I am just tired of the drama & all the BS that goes with it. I don't really talk to anyone on my Facebook as it is anymore. Some " friends " just hurt me & really Mom does not need that. I have many positive things going on right now that I don't need the negatives. I am proud of myself & I know you are too. That is all that matters to me.
 The night sky will be upon us faster this evening as the clouds are rolling in. Mom will not be seeing any stars or the moon shining bright tonight let alone a " painting " from you but I do look forward to them in the next coming nights so get your paint brushes ready, Ty... Mom will be looking for them! I hope that your night will be fun with doing all the things you need to & want to do. Come visit Mom if you get the chance. I would love to see you & see how you are doing. Thank you my sweet precious son. I will whisper to you as I always do so be listening out for my voice. I will smile & I hope you will too. Remember you are Mom's hero 7 the wind beneath my wings. You live forever in my heart, mind, body & soul. I miss you more than all the stars in the sky & more than words could say. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Before I close my letter to you let me write a daily prayer to you. Here it is: " Don't be afraid, because I have saved you. I have called you by name & you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. When you cross rivers, you will not drown. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned, nor will the flames hurt you. Because you are precious to me, because I give you honor & love you. I will give other people in your place; I will give other nations to save your life. " Amen.
 Here is a thought for the day: Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable----if anything is excellent or praiseworthy----think about such things.
 Mom needs to get going as our scheduled skype call is about to start in a few minutes. I will be back tomorrow evening with another letter to you. Continue to fly high & free, Tyler. Please watch over us all. Thank you. Good night & sweet dreams. I love you.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
