Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is doing pretty good today considering again I did not get a lot of sleep last night. Not sure what is going on with that but I am in need of a good night sleep tonight so if you can help Mom out that would be great. Thank you. Today has been another fun day for Mark & Mom as we got up this morning, got ready, took the pups for a walk & then headed out for a few hours. We went to one of the several stores that Mom loves to shop at. It is about 20 minutes away so that is not too far away. Mom was able to pick up a couple Fall/ Autumn wreaths for the doors. One that goes out to our balcony & the other one that goes to the building. They are really festive & glittery. Mom also got a few other decorations, candle holders, etc... to decorate the balcony with. When the other things come in that I purchase & everything is up & ready Mom will take a picture of it & post it on here. I should be able to do that sometime next week. Mom has not decorated for any holiday other than Christmas since you passed away. I forgot just how much I love it. I got decorations that will go from Halloween to Thanksgiving so I won't have to take them down until I decorate for Christmas time. I guess a little at a time, right? I hope that you are stopping in to see everything from time to time. Mom also got you a Pez dispenser that is Goofy to put down at your resting place. I thought you would get a kick out of it. I remember just how much you liked them. Mark likes them too. I tried the candy as it has been years since I did & nope...not for Mom... way too sweet for me...lol! Mom will bring Goofy to you this weekend when I am there. I hope when you see it, it will make you smile. I know it did for Mom. Tomorrow will be another day that will be busy as Mark is going for a haircut & I am going to get my nails done for the wedding. We have a few other errands as well to do & then it will be coming home, packing the vehicle up as we head out Thursday morning. This week is flying by for sure. In 4 days Grandpa & Debbie will be married. Hope you will be there with us to celebrate their special day. Send Mom a sign to let me know you are there if you can. Thanks my sweet precious son! 
 Last night was quiet here. Mark's brother was suppose to call but never did. The phone never rang at all. We sat up & watched the Cowboys vs Cardinals game. It was a good game but in  the end the Cowboys won 28 - 17. that made both Mom & Mark happy! Your football teams are doing well too. Patriots & Green Bay Packers are winning their games but the Dolphins are struggling a bit. It is early in the season so one never knows what will happen. Mom will keep you posted though. Tonight will be another laid back night. We will probably watch some TV & sit out on the balcony for a bit & then head to bed so that we can get up early. Mom is not expecting to chat with anyone tonight so I probably won't have any updates for you until Thursday evening. Mom will bring her laptop so that I can write to you while I am away. The only day I won't have a chance to is Saturday unless I do it really early in the morning. That will be an early day & then we are driving home that night. We won't get back until late so Mom will not have her computer on at all that day. I will be back to write to you on Sunday though when Mark is at his class. That way I can tell you all about the wedding & how everyone is doing. Just wanted to give you the heads up & all the wonderful folks that continue to follow Mom's letters to you. 
 Mom is hoping that your evening is filled with everything that you need & want it to be. May you have the time to have some fun while Mom is sleeping. Come visit me in my dreams tonight if you can. Mom would love that. Thank you. I will whisper to you as I always do so be listening out for my voice. Please smile when you hear Mom & I will be sure to smile back to you. Please always know that you are in my thoughts & prayers each & every day. You live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. You will always be my hero, my wind beneath my wings, my shining star! I miss you more than words could ever say & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. 
 Before I go for the night, here is the prayers for the day. Hope you enjoy them! 
 May the Lord Himself give you a fresh perspective on your life. May you begin to see your troubles--tough as they are--as momentary. In fact, may you wrap your arms around the promise that those very troubles are achieving for you, an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. Jesus is deeply invested in your journey and intends to get you safely home. He goes before you, He has your back, and He puts His hand of blessing upon your head. May He give you a glimpse of glory, a peek into the eternal significance of your life because He is doing a glorious work in and through you! You matter deeply to Him. May your spirit be renewed in His presence today!
  May you step back tonight and give time and space to consider this truth: No circumstance, no enemy, no opposition can keep you from God's best purpose for you! Your unbelief is the only roadblock you have to deal with. God can do in a moment what takes us years to accomplish. Consider afresh what impossible things Jesus wants to do in and through you. Kneel, if you can. Open your hands. Look past your frustrations and consider His promises. Tonight, may Jesus find faith and expectancy in your heart. And may He download fresh insights while you sleep. Jesus bless you!
 Here is a saying for the day as well: : Ships don't sink because of the water around them; ships sink because of the water that gets in them. Don't let what's happening around you get inside you & weigh you down. "
 Mom needs to get going as it is that time of the day for us to get our night routine started. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then good night & sweet dreams. I love you more than all the stars in the sky.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
