Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Saturday evening? Mom is tired but doing well. I am writing to you in between prepping dinner for Mark & I. Today was a pretty low key day as we went out & did some shopping we needed to do, Mom gave both pups baths, I vacuumed & dusted plus did laundry. Mom also paid bills on line & did some ordering that needed to be done on line for Grandpa as well. Tomorrow we are not doing a damn thing outside the house. Mom will vacuum out her vehicle but that is it. Sunday is a complete veg out day & it will be wonderful. The weather today is so muggy & warm & tomorrow will be the same way. Mom is taking advantage of the few warm days we have left for the summer. Mark & Mom will probably sit outside tonight & tomorrow & just enjoy the quiet time as this is the 1st weekend Mark has been home in a month. It is good to have him here as he is always working & Mom is always alone lately. This week again will be busy for him & Mom needs to get back to her studying as I took this week off because I was upset with my school. I still am but I need to get back into the swing of things again. 
 Mom spoke to Grandpa last night & I am sure to be speaking with him tonight again or tomorrow night. I will touch base with Meme as well on Sunday. I will try to get in touch with Aunt Beck sometime this week & maybe Brandy too. I was told she was going to call me last week but I have heard nothing yet. Guess she must be pretty busy. Mom found out today that someone that I went to school with passed away. She was diagnosed with cancer, beat it but then had a stroke & was recently put on life support. I am not sure if she passed last night or today but either way it is so sad. She leaves behind 2 small children. She earned her Angel wings for sure. May Jennifer R.I.P. now for eternal life. She will be missed by many family & friends. She will now fly free with you & the rest of the Angels. She will be pain free & healthy again like you as well my sweet precious son. One never knows what is going to happen in their life. Life is precious & life is short. Mom always told you that. Do you remember? Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that I saw that Ashley ( your old GF ) got engaged on your Birthday to her BF of 4 yrs now. I spoke to her & congratulated her on the engagement. I told her that it was funny how she got engaged on your Birthday. She said they are both very happy & excited. Mom is happy for her too. She hasn't changed at all. Still a pretty girl with long brown hair. I am sure you watch over her. You & her were together for 4 years. You liked her very much. That is all the updates that Mom can think of right now. I need to write to you the prayer for the day & a couple quotes & then unfortunately finish this letter to you as I need to finish cooking dinner. It is getting late. Here is the pray: May you determine to be done with captivity! No more rehearsing your failures or rehashing your critics’ accusations. It’s time to remember God’s love, His faithfulness, and His heart of affection for you. It’s time to put all of your hope in the finished work of Jesus Christ. May you put a flag in the ground this day and declare, ‘My hope is built on nothing less but Jesus’ blood and righteousness!’ Rest in God’s grace. Rely on His love. And rehearse His promises because they’re true for you. Break free from the bondage of others’ opinions and walk free and full of faith. Blessings on your night! 
 May you--above all else--see yourself as someone Jesus loves. May His affection for you heal you in the deepest ways and inspire you like nothing else ever has. May His saving grace and enabling power compel you to dream with Him, believe in Him, and take crazy-faith-steps because of Him. May every lesser voice and every lying circumstance fall by the wayside so that all you hear is His voice in your ear saying, 'This is the way, walk in it.' Nobody's opinion matters as much as God's. Nobody can save, heal, redeem, and refresh like Jesus. Walk intimately with Him today. His will for you is your best-case-scenario. Have a GREAT weekend.
 Your quotes as well: " Love yourself! Forgive yourself! Accept yourself! You are You & that's the beginning & the end---no apologies, no regrets. "
" Smile often. Think positively. Give thanks. Laugh loudly. Love others. Dream big. "
 Mom hopes that you have fun tonight while I get some much needed sleep. Come visit me if you can. I will whisper to you as I always do later this evening. Smile when you hear Mom &  I will smile back at you. I miss you beyond any words can say. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You are my shining star. Forever will you live inside my heart, mind, body & soul.
 Mom will be back tomorrow night with another letter to you  so until then.....good night & sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
