Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. I was able to get some good sleep last night which was much needed. I woke up with a clearer head this morning for sure. It is amazing when you get a good nights rest & what it can do for the rest of your body. Mom did a lot of thinking last night while I was home alone again. I thought about everything. I had a conversation with a friend of mine as well & something that was said to me made Mom really think. My friend said that they knew me for many things such as: a caring person, a loving person, strong-willed, hot headed at times, a giver, a fighter, a Survivor, etc.... but one thing that they did not associate with me is being a quitter. Mom's friend was right I am all those things & many more but I am not a quitter. I never have been & I never will be. That is not Mom's nature at all. After hearing that, Mom thought about everything that has been said the last few days & things that have gone unsaid. I need to be a support system to Mark not an enemy as he is dealing with so much right now. I need to help him any way I can at this point & that is exactly what Mom is going to do. Mark & I had a nice talk a little bit ago & I think he was relieved at that. Mom knows in her heart that this is the right thing to be doing. I know that you probably had a bit to do with it as well & gave Mom the ole nudge nudge. For that my sweet precious son, thank you. You always had a way of doing that for Mom when you were here with me & now you still are with me working your magic...it is just in a different way now. Again, thank you! I miss you so much. More than words can ever ever say & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You definitely are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. 
 The weather today is extremely hot & humid. It is very warm outside! Mom took the pups for a nice walk & they were beat half way through because of the temp outside. I think it is close to 90 degrees. Probably the last one of the season before Fall hits us. Mom is hoping that I get to see the stars & the moon shining bright. Mom is wondering if you will get those brushes out & paint me a sunset that will take my breath away. I have been waiting for one all summer long. Hope tonight will be my lucky night! I will whisper to you like I always do every night so be listening out for my voice. Smile when you hear Mom & I will smile back to you. 
 As far as updates go, Mom spoke to Meme this morning on her break & Bob called me to see how I was doing. We had a nice conversation. It was sweet that he was thinking of both Mark & I. He was telling me that he has a doctors app't tomorrow at DHMC for a follow up. I hope that goes well for him. My fingers are crossed for sure. Please watch over them please. Thank you. Other than that the phone has been quite quiet. Mom has not done a lot of chatting on the phone lately. I will probably here from Grandpa later so that will be nice as I haven't spoken to him since Sunday. I will touch base with Aunt Beck this week as well. I did chat with her on Saturday briefly. All is well there with them. They were painting. That is all I have for today but here are the prayers for you: May you sense right here, right now, that heaven is close and Jesus is near. May you walk confidently knowing that though the elements rage all around you, God is very much in control. May you find peace in the storm and rest in the shadow of His wing. Don't carry the weight of the world on your shoulders, let Jesus carry you. He'll assign a yoke that fits you perfectly. He'll give you grace to do your life one step at a time. Yours isn't to worry about tomorrow. Yours is to worship Him today. He's been good. He is good. And He'll be good again. When it's all said and done, you'll be glad you trusted Him.
  May God grace you with a new perspective on an old situation. May He give you fresh faith where you're feeling faint. May He inspire new inspiration and motivation where you've lost momentum. May Jesus bless you with new friends and may He bring new strength to your old friendships. May you see the treasure in the old and be inspired by the new. A blessed and beautiful day to you.
 Here are a couple inspirational quotes for you as well: " Our fate lives within us, you only have to be brave enough to see it. "
 " Life doesn't give us purpose. We give life purpose. "
 Mom needs to get going as it is 5:18 pm & I have already fed the pups tonight but I need get things going for Mark & I. Yes he is home tonight for dinner. This is the 1st time in 3 nights. It will be nice to have dinner with someone instead of alone. Mom hopes your night is everything you need it to be. Have fun while I sleep & come visit me in my dreams. I will be looking to see a painting tonight...hope it will be there. I will be back tomorrow night so until then....good night & sweet dreams. I love you to infinity & beyond. Tyler, you are my shining star. You live inside my heart, mind, body & soul forever!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
