Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Saturday morning? Mom is doing okay despite being up a lot during the night. I guess all the water that I drank during the day & evening wasn't the greatest idea as I was up every couple hours having to go to the bathroom...lol. When I was sleeping I was in a deep sleep which is exactly what I needed. Mom got up around 7 am this morning & got the pups fed, made breakfast for Mark & I, made the bed, took a shower & got ready & then took the pups out for a walk. The weather is beautiful right now. Not to hot...just right. The sun is shining & the sky is blue. This is the weather that Mom loves. Mom decided to write to you now as later today Mark & I are going to spend a quiet day watching TV & relaxing. Mom will make dinner at the usual time later & then we probably will go out on the balcony & get some fresh air. We wanted a day to do absolutely nothing & just be lazy. Tomorrow we will go grocery shopping & run all the errands that we need to do. Once I am done writing my letter to you Mom will be turning off the computer & not turning it back on so I felt this was the right time.
 Last night Mom spoke to Meme, Bob, Grandpa & Debbie. Everyone got home safe & sound & they were relaxing. I did hear that Grammy is very ill. I guess it came on suddenly & she is very sick. Grandpa & Debbie went up to see her today. I will call Grandpa later to see how she is doing & what happened. She will be 98 in August. She is a fighter for sure. Guess you & Mom get it from her. That makes me proud! I have not had the chance to touch base with Aunt Beck or bean but I will either tomorrow or during the week. Mark's meeting that was scheduled on Thursday was postponed due to something happening on their end. He heard from the gentlemen yesterday & everything still looks promising. Mom has her fingers doubled crossed for sure! If things work out then there will be some crazy months ahead for him & I but we can handle it for sure. Mom will look forward to a new change after all it has been almost 4 years...lol. Mom will be back to her regular schedule with studying starting Monday again. I look forward to pushing ahead so that I can graduate in the Fall. In a couple weeks Mom will be getting her new vehicle. I am looking forward to that as I have not had a new one in about 22 years! The color i chose is a red metallic. Mom usually goes for white as that is my favorite color but they didn't have one so I chose the one I did. It is all good because I know that was your favorite color. I think of you & how you are smiling at Mom. Not much else is going on but I am sure to have more updates for you during the week ahead.
 Here is a prayer for today for you: May God, right here, right now, grant you abundant grace & a right perspective. May He empower you with a new courage to stand strong & think long. May you--amidst your hardships--remember who you are. May you pray powerful prayers based on God's goodness & your connection to Him. You're His. He is yours. Dare to stand in faith & hang on until the storm passes. Soon the sun will break through the clouds & Jesus will bring clarity to your soul. Until then, remember faith, remember hope, remember love. Amen.
 Here is the inspirational message today: Never choose to feel anything that doesn't contribute to your happiness, for those feelings are not only the causes of your actions, but also the circumstances & conditions of your life!
 Mom is going to get going now so that I can do a couple things around the apartment before I relax for the rest of the day & be lazy for once ( well for a few hours.... ) Mom hopes that tonight you have fun while I am sleeping. May you get to do all the things you want to & need to plus more. I will whisper to you later so be listening & smile when you hear Mom's voice. I will smile back to you. Always remember you live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. I miss you like crazy. More than any words could ever say & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. I love you more than all the stars in the sky. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then....may you have a good night & sweet dreams later. I love you my sweet precious son.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
