Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is feeling kind of bummed out right now. I just finished up my final exam for my class & Mom doesn't think she did all that well. It was a pretty detailed exam and there were several essay questions on it. I think I failed it to be quite honest with you but I will still get a passing grade for the course. Tomorrow Mom will start her new class. It is Anatomy and Physiology II. That should be interesting as it is a class that is all online. At least the day will be quiet because I will be alone. Please watch over Mom tomorrow while I am here with the pups & please watch over Mark as he will be driving a very long distance to & from his client. Thank you so much. 
 Not much has happened since last night when I wrote to you. Grandpa called me & we chatted for about 30 minutes or so. Mom watched some TV in bed with the pups & Mark was sick so I was tending to him & helping when & wherever I could. I did get some sleep but I am hoping for more tonight. My cold/cough is getting better. I am only taking the cough medicine once or twice a day instead of 4 to 5 times a day & the coughing has gone down tremendously so that makes me happy. It would be 3 weeks for this for Mom & over a month for Mark. I am hoping to be over it completely in the next few days as everyone will be here a week from today. Mom can't get over the fact that next week is the 4th of July. Where the heck did the time go? It seems like yesterday we were just celebrating Memorial Day. That was 1 1/2 months ago.... Everyone around here have been lighting off fireworks. They are really pretty for the ones that I got to see but they make Princess & Ozzy so scared. I hope that they do well when the fireworks go off on the 4th. Mom is crossing her fingers on that one! Mom didn't talk to anyone else at all last night so I am sure to be touching base with Meme, Aunt Beck & perhaps Bean sometime this week. Things will just be crazy busy trying to get school work done & everything else all set for our company. Mark won't be able to help Mom as his work week is so crazy. Poor guy is all over the place. Mom hopes that things that are in the works come this Fall will sky rocket & major changes can take place. Maybe then I wouldn't worry as much about him. Please help us in that area if you can. Thank you. Mom knows you are doing all that you are able too & we both appreciate it so much. That is all the updates that I have for you today. I will have more in a couple days as Bob goes back to the doctors I believe on Wednesday & then has his procedure on July 12th. There are a few more things going on right now but nothing I can elaborate on at this time. You know what I am talking about though. In due time Mom will be able to talk about it on here. 
 Here is the prayer & inspirational message for today: May the Lord enlarge your territory, expand your influences & increase your capacity to walk in faith. May His hand of power be upon you in a way that marks everything you do. May He keep you from harm-both causing & enduring it---may He use you to bless a world very much in need. May He surprise you with breakthroughs & still-water Sabbath moments. May you walk forward unafraid with the full knowledge that Your Shepard goes before you. He's placed His hand of blessing upon your head & He will faithfully lead you. Have a lighthearted, joy-filled day & night. Amen!
 Begin to use the two most powerful words, I AM, to your advantage. How about, " I AM receiving every good thing. I AM happy. I AM abundant. I AM healthy. I AM love. I AM always on time. I AM eternal youth. I AM filled with energy every single day!
 Well my sweet precious son, it is that time of the day where Mom needs to get going. I already started prepping for dinner tonight but I have more to do & feed the pups & it is already 4:30 pm. Things need to get done even earlier as tomorrow will be a very early morning for Mark & Mom. I hope that you come visit me tonight when I am sleeping. Have fun doing all the things you need to & want to do. Mom is hoping to see a nice painting of yours as today was sunny & so beautiful out. Maybe I will even get to see the moon & the stars shining bright. I will whisper to you later as I always do so be listening out for my voice. I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. You are forever in my heart,mind, body & soul. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter so until then...good night & sweet dreams. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
