Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Monday evening? It definitely is a Monday for sure for Mom. I went to bed late, didn't really sleep & when I did I woke up to having a massive sore throat, sneezing, coughing & just feeling like crap. Mom thought I was doing well with not catching what Mark had but I guess I wasn't so lucky after all. Guess he decided that he needed to share it all with me. I made sure to thank him....ugh! Today has been a day of taking cold medicine & sucking on cough drops. I did manage to have breakfast, get ready, prep dinner for tonight, made a cheesecake for dessert & then hit the books running by doing my Exam 6. While I was in the process of doing my exam Mom really started to feel worse but I kept plugging along & finished it up about 30 minutes ago. Got it all printed out & ready to ship off to my instructor to have it graded. I am really not sure how I did but at this point I will be happy with a passing grade in this class. I have so many more where I can get my grade back up if need be if I get a low grade. Mom should be more worried about it but I am not choosing to sweat the small stuff. I know I did the best I could & that is what matters. I wouldn't go back & change anything so I will except the grade that I get. Anyways...enough of that!
 Mom spoke to Meme & Grandpa & Debbie last night. All is going well for them but Meme did tell me that Bob is getting even worse. I expressed that he needed to go to the hospital now & not wait another 9 days but I guess he does not want to & you can't force him to do something he doesn't want. I just hope that nothing goes wrong. Mom is really worried about him & Meme. I know she is worried too but will not show it for the sake of needing to be strong for Bob. Please watch over them both for Mom. Please watch over the rest of our family too. Thank you my sweet precious son. You are my world still. My everything. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Always remember that & feel it in your soul. Meme said she would call me tonight so I am waiting for her to call me. No new news on anyone else at this point. Pretty quiet actually. Mom did get into it with a couple of my friends yesterday. One was upset with me because I said I would call on Saturday & I didn't. Between doing the shopping, taking the dogs to the vets & taking care of Mark, Mom totally lost track of time & never called her or spoke to anyone at all that evening. I apologized but she still was not happy. I offered to call her Sunday afternoon but she said she had plans. I guess Mom is just tired of everyone thinking I am the one who always has to do everything if I want to talk to my friends. Sorry but Mom is tired of it & friendship is a 2 way street. If someone wants to talk to me they can call sometimes too. If not then oh well. I have been evaluating my so called friends lately anyways. I am starting to think I have more acquaintances then friends. I know that people come into our lives for a reason & sometimes they don't stay for long. I was hurt & upset about it a few weeks ago but now I am over it & have moved on. Mom's bottom line is if you want to be my friend it should be all the time not part of the time when they are bored or they want or need something from me. That ship has sailed & no more. My other friend that I got into it with heard that exact statement. He was not pleased but I was not pleased with the way he treated me the last several times. I have never been a " fair weathered " friend & I don't expect it from the ones who call themselves my friends. Guess valuable lessons are being learned right now & feelings will be hurt for sure. I know everything will happen the way it is suppose to so I am not loosing sleep over it or stressing about any of it right now. Mom is learning, Ty.... pick & choose your battles, your stresses, etc.... I feel good about the choices I am making. Hopefully Mom will have some updates for you in the next couple days.
 I hope you like the Angel card that I wrote yesterday. I also found some encouragement ones as well so Mom will write one or the other to you on your letters. If they are short then I will write both. Here is the one for today:
 Are you struggling with some life changes? You can call on Archangel Jeremial to guide & strengthen you, thus helping you to cope. Guess that is the Angel I need to be asking help from right now. That is good to know as I didn't know of it!
 Archangel Chamuel is the angel of confidence & self love. He loves to unite us with our soulmates, too- if you need him- just call!
 These cards are so neat. Mom is learning a lot from them & they make me smile & happy. I am sure to feel a change in my live with calling upon all these beautiful Angels to help me out!  
 Well it is that time of the night. Mom needs to get going to feed the pups & get dinner going. I am just going to relax for the night & do nothing. Going to bed early as well. Mom needs the rest & so does Mark as he is still sick too. Hope you have a fun night tonight while Mom sleeps. Come be with me if you can or visit me in my dreams. Thanks pumpkin! You will forever live in my mind, heart, body & soul. I will whisper to you as I always do so be listening for me. Smile & I will too. Shine bright for someone who needs you tonight. The weather here is raining...go figure...ugh! Mom won't see anything shining in the sky for a couple days. I will be back tomorrow night. Until then good night & sweet dreams. I love you, Tyler.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
