Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is so sorry for the short letter last night but Monday definitely was not my day & neither is today really. Mom went to bed at 9 pm last night & I slept but I woke up very early this morning again & I am just so tired again. This weather is not helping Mom at all either. It is day 2 of having 58 degree temps with rain & wind. Mom needs Vitamin C & the sun shining & I will be back to normal again. I did try to do some of my studying but as I got deeper into the chapter I knew I should not be doing this today because my head is not in it so I stopped for the day. I will start it back up tomorrow though. This class will be interesting to say the least. Not sure if I am going to like it or not. Too early to tell right now but by looking at it, it is not what I expected it to be. Oh well... it is a class I have to do to graduate. I know you will continue to be with me through it all & Mom sure does thank you bunches.
 Mark is back where he was yesterday for work again today. Mom thinks it is too much for 2 days to do all that driving & all that work. I try not to worry so much but I can't help it at all. I do & I always will. You know Mom. I just have to stay silent & observe it all & not say a word. Mark thinks I nag all the time about his job but I don't. I just wish he would start seeing what I do. I wish he would see just what this job of his is doing to him. It makes Mom very sad too. Tomorrow he has another important appointment & I hope this one goes better for him. My fingers are crossed. We need some good news! Anything you can do for Mark & for Mom would be much appreciated, Ty! Thanks pumpkin! Bob goes back to the doctors in 2 days. Meme says he is not getting better. I hope the doctors come up with something as Bob needs to get better. meme needs to get better as well as her hip is still giving her problems. Please watch over them both for Mom. I can only do so much from where I am. Thanks my sweet precious son! Yesterday Mom fell when she was getting in the shower. I hurt my right leg & knee. I have a big bruise & 2 smaller ones.... leave it to me huh? Just call me Grace....lol! That is all the updates I have for you today. Not many at all but Mom has had a couple of really quiet days. Maybe tonight I will chat with Grandpa & tomorrow I will try to get in touch with Aunt Beck seeings how they will be taken off on Friday for a couple weeks. Mom will keep you posted! Tonight is going to be another early night as Mom needs to get more sleep. Tomorrow I need to get back into my study mode again. I think it is going to be partly sunny so that will help my cloudy head & crappy attitude that I have had for the last 2 days. I think Mom is also feeling the way I am because in 4 days... on Saturday it will be your Birthday. That is a day we always celebrated together with so many family & friends. I miss doing those things with you. I miss the times we got to share together. I miss all those days. I miss you so much. Mom has been talking to you today....have you heard my voice? I sure hope so. I will whisper to you again later tonight too so be listening out for my voice. I love you bunches. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. I never want you to forget that or not feel it deep within your soul. Here are your prayers for the day: May you determine to travel lighter starting now. . May you—with your God-given authority in Christ—demand that the enemy shut his mouth and leave you alone. May you discern the baggage of man-made obligations and lay it down. May you decide to fling aside your own self-condemning thoughts and wrap yourself up in God’s beautiful grace and righteousness instead. And, may you march on from here, full of faith, empowered by grace, and awakened by God’s love, and walk as one who’s been spoken for by God above. May your latter days be far more blessed than your former days. Jesus is always up to something new. Bless your day!
 May you refuse condemnation for the ways you fail and fall short of God's best for you. May you, instead, embrace holy conviction to walk like Christ and to fully enjoy your journey with Him. May you shake off your regrets and grab a firm hold of God's promise to forgive, restore, and renew your story. May others' opinions no longer tie you up in knots because God's opinion continually sets you free! May you determine-with all your heart-to live the abundant, powerful, forgiven life Jesus has offered you. Have a blessed night!
  Here are a couple inspirational quotes for you today as well: All it takes is one bloom of hope to make a spiritual garden.
 I will love the light for it shows me the way. Yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars. 
 Mom is surprised to see that is only 3:15 pm in the afternoon when it feels like it is 9 pm. That is how tired I am I guess. The pups are not having a good day either. Ozzy is jumping all over Mom while I am writing & Princess is laying on my computer desk. She was shaking early so I picked her up not knowing if she was going to have another seizure or not. Guess Mom will be calling it a day here on my computer & go lay on the couch with them. Maybe they will feel better then. Maybe Mom will take a cat nap as well. Mark won't get home until late again tonight so it will be feeding the pups & making dinner for one again. Mom hopes you have a good night. Have fun doing all kinds of things that you need to & want to. May you get the chance to come visit me in  my dreams or sit beside me tonight while I am sleeping. Mom doubts that I will see anything in the sky tonight besides thick rainy clouds but I will look as I always do. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then....good night & sweet dreams, Tyler! I love you more than all the stars in the sky.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
