Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday evening? Mom has totally lost track of time & I am running so late tonight. It is past 5 pm & I have not fed the pups or even thought about what to make for dinner tonight. Mom has been studying all day long & I am proud to say that I have finished reading all the chapters of my book for my class. Exam 6 with get started this weekend & the Final exam will be started on Monday. This letter to you tonight will be a really quick one so Mom does apologize. The weather was really nice & sunny today but the clouds are rolling in & they said we were going to get some good thunderstorms & it sure does look it. That is another reason why Mom will be cutting this letter to you tonight. I will make up for it tomorrow though. I promise. Sometimes the time gets the best of me & it escapes me because I am so involved with what I am doing. Guess I need to do a better job & have some time management.
 Updates today.... Meme called at lunch time & let me know that Bean is doing well. She spoke to her last night. Glad to hear that & still nothing for a place for her but she is still looking. The right one will come along when it is suppose to & not a minute before. Mark is still sick. He is worse today then the last couple of days. He was suppose to be on calls all day long but he had to type everything as he was coughing so much. He is taking meds but they are not helping. I told him that if he was not better in a couple days then he needed to go to see a doctor to get antibiotics. I just don't want him thinking it is just a cold or congestion when it could be bronchitis. Mark's truck is back in the shop again. We took it there Wednesday morning & they called today to let us know that major work needs to be done on it & they can't start it until the beginning of next week. To say the least that is more money than what we have to fix it yet again. Mom is not sure what we are going to do. Mark has been taking my vehicle all the time for the past 3 weeks & leaving me with nothing. Mine has more mileage on it than his & it is not in the best shape either. Mom is hoping that everything will work out & we have the funds to make everything right. That is all I have for today. 
 Yesterday while I was writing to you it was raining so hard & sideways. It stopped right after I finished your letter. The sun came out & I said to Mark.... there should be a rainbow & I looked out the window & there it was. It was so beautiful. Mom took pictures of it. I didn't get to see the stars or moon shining bright or a sunset but that rainbow sure did make up for it all. That is the 1st one I have seen since we have been here in 3.5 years. It made me smile & I thought of you. I think you had something to do with it! Thank you my sweet precious son. Mom hopes that you have a wonderful & fun night doing all the things you want to & need to. Come visit me when you can. I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You are forever in my heart, mind, body & soul. 
 Mom is going to get going now as it is getting darker & darker by the minute. I think we are going to get a good " lightning " show anytime now & I don't want the computers on. I will write you a prayer tomorrow & a thought for the day as well....Mom will double them up. I will say a silent one tonight for you & whisper to you as I always do. Be listening for my voice. Smile & Mom will smile back to you. 
 There is the thunder rolling. I can hear it. I love it but the dogs do not. They get scared. Keep us safe pumpkin & watch over us. Thank you. Until tomorrow... good night & sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
