Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! how are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom wants to start off by saying thank you so much for helping me out with getting some much needed sleep last night. I was in bed at 9:30 pm & fast asleep by 10 pm. Mark stayed up & watched some TV & he was telling me this morning that I must have been really tired because I was snoring...lol! Anyways, Mom was so grateful when I woke up that I got the rest that I needed so that I could do all the things I needed to today. Thank you my sweet precious son! If you could help Momma out again tonight that would be super. The next 3 days are going to be crazy busy for us all. We are getting up in the morning & heading to NH for the wedding on Saturday. Can't believe it is 3 days away! Mark & Mom were crazy busy running around today getting all the last minute things done. Mark got his hair cut, Mom got her nails done, & then we got a few odds & ends that were needed. We will pack the SUV later this evening & be ready to head on the road by 10 am tomorrow morning. Please be with us during our trip. I know you always are but I still like to ask. Thank you so much! Tonight will be dinner & a lot of relaxing & then going to bed to get a good night sleep. Mom is not planning on talking on the phone at all tonight either. Didn't talk to anyone last night so I have no updates for you. I have a few things to still do before I get the dinner routine started but Mom wanted to at least write you a quick letter to tell you how much I miss you & that I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are always on my mind...day & night. You are the first one I say good morning to & the last one I say goodnight too. It has been that way now for almost 4 1/2 years. Mom will whisper to you later this evening so be listening for my voice. Lets smile together, k? Mom always wants you to know that you are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You are my shining star & you live forever inside my heart, mind, body & soul. 
 Mom is hoping that tonight I will get to see a painting in the sky from you. The weather the last 3 days have been close to 90 degrees. Hot, humid, sunny & blue skies. Mom has been enjoying it so much! The next few days are only going to be in the 60's. Big drop in temps but still okay as it is Fall after all! Mom will look tonight to see if I can see any stars & the moon shining bright. Hope so! Gt those brushes ready, Tyler! Thanks pumpkin! Hope that your evening later will be everything that you need & want it to be. May you have the time later to come visit mom while I am sleeping. Have fun wherever you go! I know you go so many places so enjoy it all. Mom needs to get going so that I can finish everything up & relax for the night but before I go I wanted to give you the prayers for the day so here they are:
  May the Lord lead you beside still waters and restore your soul. May time in His presence renew your perspective. May the power of His Word reignite your prayers. May the wonder of His love overwhelm you and make you strong. And may the nearness of His hand remind you that you're never alone, never without help, and always near to His heart. Raise your arms, open your hands, and receive all God has for you this day! He loves you and He's with you! Embrace a thankful heart this day!
  May Jesus help you guard your heart with all diligence. May you instantly discern the source of your thoughts and emotions so you’ll know what to uproot and what to nurture. May you rightly divide truth from lie, life from death, and love from selfishness. May you become a fierce warrior with your shield and sword and refuse to give the enemy even an inch of your land or even a minute of your day. It is FOR freedom that Christ has set you free! May you begin to see fresh life spring up from within your soul as you tend more diligently to the issues of your heart. Have a blessed night.
 Mom will be back tomorrow night with another letter to you but it will probably be a short one as I will not be bring my laptop & will have to write to you using my cell phone but Mom promises to write to you! Until then.... good night & sweet dreams. I love you more than all the stars in the sky!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
