Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday evening? Mom & Mark are doing a little better from all the discouraging stuff that happened yesterday. We are trying to find the positive things with what was told. At times it has been tough for Mark but we are managing & we know that something better will come along. Like I said yesterday...everything happens for a reason! 
 Today has been a busy day for Mom. Got up early this morning & did all the usual stuff.... made coffee, fed the pups, cleaned up after them, made myself & Mark breakfast, got ready & then took the pups out for their walk. It wasn't a long one though because it is so warm out there. Very sunny & humid & way too hot for their little feet. After all that was finished, Mom got right to starting her final exam. I just stopped working on it & it is 5: 30 pm. I have managed to feed the pups tonight & Mom is just so tired that she decided that we would order a pizza for dinner so I didn't have to cook. Tonight will be an early night as tomorrow Mom needs to be up early to go run a few errands & after that I need to do some housework as Mark's friend is coming for the weekend again. I need to vacuum, clean the bathrooms, dust, etc.... then after all that is finished Mom will need to finish her final & submit it so come Monday I will be starting my new class which is Business Communications. I am very interested in what that is going to be. This is a new one so  am sure to be challenged at times! 
 Mom spoke to Aunt Beck this afternoon. Things are good with them & they were awaiting John's friend to get there & visit with them this evening. They are just very busy with life n general. Meme called me this afternoon as Bob had a doctors app't. That did not go very well at all. She was saying that the procedure that they did last week only worked for a day & that is it. They ran some tests today & it showed that his pacemaker is not even working now. They decided to increase one of his meds that he is taking to 2 pills a day instead of only 1 pill. He is retaining fluid as he has gained 5 lbs in one week & his ankles are swollen really bad. The doctors said they wanted to see him in 1 month & if nothing has changed they recommended that he go through the same procedure as he had last week again & Bob said no. Not sure what is going to happen next but Mom is so sad to hear of all this news. If there is anything you can do to help Bob out & Meme....please Tyler. Mom appreciates it so much. I am not sure what is going on right now...things were looking up for everyone in our family & now it seems that the tables are turning around. We all need to get back on the track of things going well again. Please watch over us all my sweet precious son. Thank you! That is all the updates that Mom has for you today. 
 Here is the prayer for the day:  May you allow Jesus to lead you to edges of your comfort zone and give you a fresh vision for where He's taking you. May you put everything on the table and give Him permission to rearrange your life. May you dare to open your hands, look up, and breathe a prayer of thanks right in the midst of this uncertain time, knowing that He's far kinder than you can fathom and far greater than you ever imagined. Can you sense Jesus' invitation to join Him on this adventure of faith? Will you trust Him? Choose joy this day. God wants to do a deep and profound work in and through you! Your security is found in HIM!
 Honestly Mom has not been doing an inspirational message on the last few letters to you as Mom just doesn't seem like I am in a positive mood the last few nights but I promise I will start them back up on your letter tomorrow night. I hope you forgive me for that as I never try to be a negative person but sometimes Mom just stays in a sad mood. I will get better again. Mom hopes that your night will be all that you need & want it to be. Have fun tonight while Mom is trying to get some sleep. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thanks Ty! I will whisper to you as I always do each night so be listening out for my voice. Smile & Mom will too. Mom hasn't been seeing anything shining in the sky at night for the moon or stars but I know you are shining bright wherever you are! Mom will look tonight to see if I see anything. Maybe I will see a nice sunset. There hasn't been one of them lately either. Mom needs to get going now as the pizza will be here any minute & the pups will start barking. Remember that you are forever in my heart, mind, body & soul. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. I miss you!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
