Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Sunday evening? Mom is doing just fine. All day today Mom was inner channeling you & decided to paint....however the painting was looking much different in my mind than what I painted. Honestly.... it came out terrible. Mom is definitely no Picasso that is for sure. You got your talent for painting from Pepe & Meme. Mom has about 4 of your paintings that you did for me hanging in our apartment. I am sure that you have seen them though. Every time I look at them they make me smile so much. I miss watching you paint. You were so good at it too. Mom will always cherish the ones that I have from you. Mom did absolutely nothing else today besides make brunch for Mark & I & get ready. Mom's shoulder is killing her so much. Guess the painting really didn't help much either as I was at that painting for 4 hours.
 Yesterday went really well with Grandpa & Debbie. They got here at 11 am & we sat around for a bit & then headed out to lunch. We went to there favorite seafood place which is 5 miles from where we live & it is right across from the ocean. The weather was beautiful. Mom was enjoying it very much. After lunch we took them for an ice cream. After that we came back here & visited for about an hour or so & then they got back on the road to drive home. We chatted about the wedding & all kinds of things. It was a fun afternoon. After they left Mark & I just sat on the couch & watched TV until it was time to go to bed. Overall a very relaxing weekend indeed & it was much needed. Tomorrow is Monday & it is back to the grid. Mark has a busy week with work & Mom will be back to study full time. This is the last week of August & in less than 1 month Fall will be here. It is so hard to believe. 
 Mom really has no updates for you at all seeings how I have not spoken on the phone at all today & the weekend was quiet. I will touch base with everyone during the week though just to say hello & see how everyone is doing. I will have time to chat as Mark will be at clients all week. It is hard to talk when he is home because he is usually on the phone with business calls & Mom likes to stay quiet for him. Mom is praying though for all the people in Texas. They are getting hit really hard with a Hurricane/ Tornado. It is touching down right in Houston where Mom & Mark lived. The last I knew ( and I know it has changed ) there were 300,000 people without power, the winds were 130 mph & there were a couple deaths already. The whole thing will be considered a natural disaster again. This will be the 3rd or 4th one like this since we moved away from there. We never experienced anything like that while we lived in that area for 2 years. Mom & Mark are so blessed with that. I hope all the people we knew there are all well & they are safe. Mom has been thinking of them so much in the last 3 days. My heart is with them. 
 Mom is not sure what is going on as well on here. My purpose was to write you letters, as you know & Mom had quite a few following me on here. I am not sure if I am offending anyone or if I am saying things that are upsetting them in my letters but Mom just wants to let everyone know if that is the case I never intentionally do anything to make anyone uncomfortable at all. I am honest & speak my mind about things but I would never try to hurt anyone in anyway. The number of followers have gone down by a lot & I have noticed that in the past month. I am sorry & hope at some point they will come back. If not then I understand & will just keep trucking along with writing to you as this is the whole point to my blog. 
 Here is the prayer for the day for you: Let everyone that has breath, praise the Lord. Short & sweet but right to the point. Kind of like Mom...lol! Mom needs to get going for now as I am making dinner as I am writing to you & you know how well I do at multitasking....lol. Mom hopes that your night is filled with all things that you need to do & want to do my sweet precious son. Come visit Mom in my dreams if you can., Thank you. I will whisper to you later tonight so be listening for my voice. Smile a big smile for Mom & I will smile back to you. I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You will live forever inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom will be back tomorrow so until then....good night & sweet dreams. You, Tyler, are my shining star!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
