Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. I actually got a little sleep last night so that helped me out a great deal. I was up early this morning as usual feeding the pups & making coffee for Mark & breakfast for us both. After that I gave both pups a bath... that was not all that fun...lol & then did the laundry. After all that was said & done I got ready & then took the pups out for a nice walk. It is so warm & gorgeous today. The temps are 80 degrees & the sky is sunny & blue. I was enjoying it a great deal while being outside. Mark & Mom will probably sit outside for a bit tonight because there will not be many more days or nights like today so we will take full advantage of it! After that we will come in & watch TV & then head to bed. All the Super Hero shows have started back up for the season! Last night we watched SuperGirl & tonight is Flash & DC Legends of Tomorrow. You would have loved all these shows. Mom did not want to get into them at all but Mark started to watch them & bam... Mom was hooked. Lets see... there are several now... Gotham, SuperGirl, Flash, Arrow, DC Legends of Tomorrow, Lucifer & then there is a new Star Trek & a spoof of Star Trek called the Orville. You would have liked them as well. Mom is also watching so many other shows as well... Baking shows, Cooking shows, Dancing with the Stars, Little Couple, Counting On, & the list goes on & on...lol. I don't watch them all when they are on : their night. " Mom DVR's all of them & I watch them during the weekend when there is nothing on TV to watch. Mom doesn't have enough time in the day to do everything that needs to get done & I sure don't have enough time to watch all that TV. I am lucky if I watch 2 hours of TV a night. Mark & Mom are usually up at 7 am & in bed by 10:30 pm. We like it that way. So do the pups! Mom wishes that you were here with us so that we could enjoy all our shows we used to watch together. I loved our TV time together. I loved all our time together! I miss you beyond words. I know I say that all the time but it is completely true. Mom wishes I could put into words just how much I miss you but I know that any of those words will not tell you just how much. I guess it is a feeling that I hope you get deep inside your soul. Mom's love for you has always been unconditional & it always will be. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Forever you will be living inside my heart, mind, body & soul. 
 So yesterday, Mom was telling you that it was Debbie's Birthday. Well last night while she was at work she took a fall. Her foot got caught in one of the laundry loop holders & she basically went " *ss over tea kettle. " She broke her right foot. She continued to work all night, drove home & fell asleep. She woke up in so much pain a couple hours later & she saw that her foot was all swollen, black & blue so Grandpa took her to the ER. The x rays showed that she didn't break the bone itself but all the muscle, ligaments, tendons, etc... all separated from the bone. She was put into a walking boot for now but has to go see a foot specialist on Thursday. The doctor said she can't work, can't drive until further notice. Mom called her this morning & she is doing alright. Sore as to be expected but well. She also came down with a nasty cold. Poor Debbie. I hope she feels better soon & that her foot heals really fast. Watch over her & Grandpa for me, okay? Thanks! Meme called today on her break. She is doing well & so is Bob. It's been a good couple of days for him so I hope there will be more good days then bad ones for him. Still haven't spoken with Aunt Beck or Bean but I will. Mark has been super busy so far the last couple of days at work. Things just don't seem to slow down for him at all. Mom is always worried about that. Mom is doing okay. I did it again though. I wanted to study for a bit & just didn't do it today again. This is terrible. I have taken about 6 weeks off now & have to get in the swing of things again. Please help me, Tyler. I need it. I will start doing it tomorrow, I promise but I guess I need that shove as I do not like this class that I am taking. Help Mom to change her opinion of it so I can do well. I need to get into all this again so that I can graduate in early 2018! Please watch over us all. Mom really appreciates it so much. I thank you all the time because I truly mean it. You are my Angel now & I have the best one. I know you are always with me. Thank you my sweet precious son. Not much else is new for updates though. Mom's friends son that has the cancer that I talk to you about on here... they are in a limo as I am typing, headed to Boston & on a plane at 8:15 pm tonight headed to Hawaii for his Make A Wish trip. Mom is so happy for them. Eli looks so good, one would never know that he is so sick & has a few months to live. I spoke to Dani, the Mom & wished them a very safe trip & wonderful time with her family. I told her to cherish the moments as we all know what lies ahead. Mixed emotions for them all. Well that is all that I can remember right now so I will update you on things as the week moves on!
 Here are the prayers for the day:
 May you refuse condemnation for the ways you fail and fall short of God's best for you. May you, instead, embrace holy conviction to walk like Christ and to fully enjoy your journey with Him. May you shake off your regrets and grab a firm hold of God's promise to forgive, restore, and renew your story. May others' opinions no longer tie you up in knots because God's opinion continually sets you free! May you determine-with all your heart-to live the abundant, powerful, forgiven life Jesus has offered you. Have a blessed day today!
 May you choose to be grateful when you'd rather be grumpy. May you choose to rejoice in God's goodness when you're tempted to rehearse man's badness. May you sing into your empty well trusting that God will soon fill it. And may you live with the expectancy that any day now, the Lord will bring the breakthrough. Rest tonight in the knowledge that more rests on God's shoulders than on yours. He's got you. Have a blessed night! 
 Here is the inspirational message for the day as well:
 " Make a decision of what you want. Give your attention there. Find the feeling place of it---and you're there instantly. There is no reason for you to suffer or struggle your way to or through anything. "
 Mom needs to get going. I have about 90 minutes or so before I need to start prepping dinner & fed the pups. I thought that I would do a little reading in my studies. Wish me luck! Anyways... Mom hopes your evening will be everything that you need & want it to be. Have fun while Mom is sleeping tonight. Come visit me in my dreams & be with me. Thank you so much. I will whisper to you when I light the candle tonight & also later when I go to bed as I do each night. Smile when you hear Mom & I will smile back to you. I will be back tomorrow night with a new letter to you. Hope I get to see the stars & moon shining in the night sky tonight. Maybe a painting from you as well? Hope so! I love you more than all the stars in the sky & you, Tyler are my shining star forever! Until tomorrow.... good night & sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
