Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Mom is doing better than I have been for the last 5 days. I did get some sleep last night. Only a couple coughing fits so I think I am on my way to getting better. Mark seems to be doing better to so hopefully between the 2 of us we can get rid of all this sickness in the house. Mom was up early today & fed the pups, made Mark coffee & then I decided to just get ready instead of hanging out. After that I took the pups for a nice long walk as the weather is beautiful right now. The sun has been out & it is in the 70's. There may be a chance of a rain shower but nothing much else. Mom was not able to see the moon last night or the stars. The sunset wasn't really much of anything either as the clouds were there & I think at some points it was indeed raining. Mom is crossing her fingers that I get to see them all tonight though. I did whisper to you...did you hear, Mom? I will whisper to you again tonight as well so be listening for my voice. Smile & I will too. 
 Mom got some surprising news last night about 8 pm. I went on my cell phone to look at my e-mails & I noticed that my instructor had already graded my final exam & sent it back to me. I was so nervous opening it up but I did & to Mom's surprise I saw that my grade was a 100. That's right I got a perfect score on my final exam for my computer class that I dreaded so much. That exam had 23 parts to it & took a lot of time to do but I did it! I was so happy that I started to cry. It was such a relief. Mom does have a couple more previous exams out there to be graded but as of right now my overall grade is a 98. Hard work does pay off & this is proof of that! I know you have been right by my side through it all & I needed you. Thank you my sweet precious son. I love you so much. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. 
 Mom spoke to Grandpa & Meme last night. Everyone is doing well. They were both so happy for Mom. They are always telling me how proud they are of me. I will be the 1st one to graduate college with a degree on Grandpa's side & the 2nd one to graduate with one on Meme's side. That is a big deal. It makes Mom smile & beam with happiness that they are so happy for me. Mom really doesn't have any updates for you. I know everyone is kinda wondering about Bob's appointment on the 14th. We don't talk about it much but it is heavy on our minds. I know you will be with both Meme & Bob during that time & Mom is so thankful for that. You keep us all safe, healthy & happy. Mom couldn't be more proud of you still. 
 As I sit here & write to you it got so dark so fast. I look out the window & it is pouring outside. Thunder, lightning & all. That came on quick! Dang. You know Mom.... I love a good thunder & lightning storm. I know you used to be so scared of them & rightfully so. I wonder if you like them now? I wonder all the time what things are like for you. I wonder a lot of things when it comes to you. Guess I will have to have another session with Forrest & have you come through again hopefully so you can tell me all these things! I will keep you posted on that. 
 Here is a prayer for you for today: Daily Grace: Heavenly Father, I may not understand how everything will work out, but I trust you. I don't see a way, but I know you will make a way. I have faith that at this very moment you are touching hearts, opening doors, & lining up the right breaks & right opportunities. Things may look dark & bleak now, but I have faith that my dawn is coming! In Jesus' name. Amen.
 Here is an inspirational card: Healing: Every day I chose healing. The journey is my own unique experience. I can choose to make it whatever I wish. I take my time & I sit with my grief. I am not afraid to go deeper & ask it what it can teach me. I learn & from my grief. I work through the darkness in my life & I am able to find the stars. I heal in my own time & I am gentle with myself every day. I forgive myself& I am able to forgive those who may have hurt me in the past. My heart may be broken but I choose to fill the cracks with love & gentleness always. I am healing beautifully. 
 The sky is getting darker & the thunder is just roaring like crazy. Mom is going to get headed off the computer for now. I hope that your night is everything you need & want it to be. If you can come be with Mom tonight. I would love that. It is almost that time of the day where I need to get the night routine going anyways.... this day flew by! Remember that you are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You are forever in my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter but until then...good night & sweet dreams. I miss you more than words can say.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
