Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday evening? Mom has a few minutes to write to you while dinner is cooking. It has been quite the busy day for Mom as I was out & about all day today running errands & grocery shopping. Mom was not expecting to do a full shopping but I did & I am paying for it now. My whole body is aching as I had to lug everything up the stairs ( took 4 trips up & down to get everything in ) because Mark was at a client site all day long. Mom's shoulder is killing her right now. It is on fire. I am going to have Mark put some muscle rub on it tonight for me. I am really thinking if I do all the shopping like this weekly then I will be loosing more weight & getting in shape! That is a bonus to that & makes me smile at the thought. Mom has lost quite a bit already. I am down several inches & 2 whole sizes. I feel good right now in that department. I hope you see Mom & you are proud of me! Tonight will be a lazy night & quiet. Probably watching TV for a bit & then heading to bed. This weekend there are no plans & I am hoping Mark has the full weekend off. It will be the 1st one in 4 weeks. We have a skype call on Sunday night but that is the only thing scheduled right now & it feels great to say that! Mom will keep you updated to what is going on...promise. 
 I spoke to both Grandpa & Meme this afternoon along with a couple friends of mine. It was nice to catch up with everyone & see how they are doing. Many of Mom's friends have been asking where I have been doing my schooling as they are thinking of getting into that field. There has been 4 in the past 2 weeks. Crazy huh? If they do it & say my name then I can get money taken off my tuition. That would be nice. I will be sure to catch up with everyone either Saturday or Sunday night so I will have more updates for you then. 
 The weather is rainy right now & the sky is so dark. It is 6:38 pm here & it looks like it is after 10 pm. We are suppose to get thunderstorms throughout the night & I am sure we will. It is so muggy here today. The storms will be good ones when they hit! Keep a watch out over us during them. Thanks pumpkin! Mom loves you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my everything, my hero & the wind beneath my wings. I miss you so much. You forever will be inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom will whisper to you later so be listening out for my voice. Smile & I will smile back. I will also light a candle for you tonight too. Mom needs to get going for now as the timer just went off for our dinner to be done. I will be back tomorrow though with a longer letter & the prayers for you then. Have tonight while I sleep. If you can come visit Mom in my dreams. I would love that so much. Until tomorrow..... good night & sweet dreams. You are my shining star forever & ever.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
