Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Happy Cinco De Mayo to you! Mom has been pretty busy all day long. I should have been studying & I had every intention of doing just that but the time escaped me with everything I was doing & it is now a little after 4 pm & I am just going to not do any of it today. Guess we can call it a mental break for the week...lol. Mom did do a lot of stuff today. I ended up dusting & rearranging a lot of things in the apartment & cleaning things too. I got all the things ready for Bean for when she comes to get it. I decided to do it now so that I won't have to do it later. It has been a cold & rainy day today so I was happier to do it now then on a hot, sunny day. Our whole family is standing by her & getting lots of stuff that she will need. That makes Mom smile & happy. That is what families do for one another. I love our family so much. 
 Last night was not a great night. Meme ended up calling Mom & telling me that Bob had drove himself to the hospital last night. I guess he really couldn't breathe at all & it scared him. They did blood work & a few tests & the doctors recommended that he goes through a heart procedure. They ordered it as an emergency & they are still waiting to here when it is going to be. So much for an " emergency " procedure. As of 8:30 pm last night he was resting & was not dizzy at all. I really hope all this is due to the mix up of the medications that he was taking. I know you are watching over Meme & Bob. Thank you so much, Tyler. They both need you. Last night I always was chatting with Aunt Jacqui. we were talking about the new little girl, Piper ( Tony & Heather's new baby that is 4 days old. ) I asked how her & Uncle dick were feeling & she said that she was ok but Uncle Dick was not doing well at all. He had a Cardiologist appt yesterday. He has to go every 2 weeks & does therapy 3 times a week. She was saying that he was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure & Emphysema. I was shocked to read that as this was the 1st I had heard of it. It makes me so sad. There is no cure for either of them. Mom is going to make it a point to go & visit them really soon. I haven't seen them in almost 3 years. I need to make the time. Please watch over them as well. Thank you so much. 
 Mom doesn't have any other updates for you as of right now but I will be sure to write them to you when I do. Mark & Mom have a busy weekend ahead. We have grocery shopping tomorrow & Mom is going to get her hair done & Sunday, Mom has a nail appointment & Mark's friend, Rick will be stopping by. Guess we are going to go out to dinner with him plus Sunday night we have a skype call with Tubal & Karen & then Mom needs to start getting things packed up as we are heading to NH for 4 days. Definitely busy along with Mark working & Mom studying. 
 here is the daily prayer for today. May 5~ Happy are those who consider the poor; the Lord delivers them in the day of trouble. You have told us, great Lord, to love our neighbors as ourselves, to do unto others as we'd have them do to us. You have also said that I will reap what I sow in this life. So help me, loving father, to remember the poor---whether they are poor in fiances, abilities, social graces, health or any other kind of poverty. Show me how you would minister to them. Remind me of how Jesus walked & talked & ministered to those in need & by your Spirit, lead me in doing as Jesus has done. For the honor of your name, I pray. Amen. The purpose of life is to listen----to yourself, to your neighbor, to your world & to God---when the time comes, to respond in as helpful a way as you can find....from withing & without. Amen. 
 Here is the daily Inner Peace card for you: I am a human being, not a human doing. Don't equate your self-worth with how well you do things in life. You aren't what you do. If you are what you do, then when you don't......you aren't. 
 Mom is going to have to get going now so that I can start the night routine for us here. The rain is just coming down so hard & sideways....holy cow! It is really dark here to & the wind is whipping around. I wouldn't be surprised if we had a thunderstorm. Might be too cold for that though, but stranger things have happened. Mom hopes that you have a peaceful evening with doing things that you need & want to do. Have fun while Mom sleeps tonight. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. I would enjoy that very much. I will whisper to you as I always do later so be listening out for my voice. Mom will smile & hope you will too. I miss you so much my sweet precious son. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You will forever live in my heart, mind, body & soul. I will be back tomorrow with another letter so until then....good night & sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
