Dear Tyler, 

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Today the sun is shining & the temps are in the 70's. Hard to believe that it is the 3rd of November! Later in the day the temp will drop about 10 degrees & rain will be here for a couple of hours. Mom was up really early this morning. I was wide awake at 6 am. I laid back in bed until 6:30 am & didn't fall back to sleep so I got up, made coffee, fed the pups, got snacks together for Mark & I got to watch another gorgeous sunrise. Mom took pictures of course so I will share a couple with you on todays letter. Mark left around 8 am so Mom did the laundry, folded it & put it away, dusted, vacuumed, cleaned the bathrooms, got ready, took pups for a nice walk & then grabbed something to eat. I came into my office & turned on the computer & no internet....ugh! I did what I remembered to do & it did not work. Mark is on his way home now so I am waiting until he gets here to fix it. Mom is writing to you on her cell phone. It is a challenge but I am doing the best I can! 
 Last night was really really quiet. Mark chatted with his brother for abour an hour while Mom watched a TV show. We had dinner & watched TV for the night. We went to bed early knowing we would be up early this morning. The telephone didn't even ring once. That was kind of nice. We watched our Superhero shows...lol. Last night was Arrow & Gotham. You would love them all. I wish you were here so we could watch them together. There are a few others we watch as well...Supergirl, DC Legends of Tomorrow, Flash, Lucifer... think I got them all. They really are good. Mom gets into them. You would be so proud of me...lol! Tonight, Mark & Mom are going to a paint night. We haven't done one in about a year. It is being held at our leasing office. Should be a fun time. Mom is painting this one to give to Aunt Shirley for Christmas. Hope it comes out good! I know you will be by my side giving me pointers! Help Mom channel her inner Picasso. Thanks Tyler. 
 No updates for you today. Maybe over the weekend Mom will have some for you. Mom is going to try & write a couple prayers for the day on here but not sure if I will be able to or not. Here goes it...here are the prayers for the day:
 May you ponder what God is saying to you in this place of not-yets and what-ifs. Do you hear His whisper to be still and trust Him? May you dream big dreams in the face of your fears. May you courageously hold your ground when you'd rather run and hide. And may you entrust your heart's desires to a God who is very much involved, very much in control, and very much invested in your life. Remember who you are. Remember Whose you are. Keep perspective. Lay hold of faith. Take the next step.

From the ends of the earth, I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I (Psalm 61:2 NIV).

  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 this weekend. His will for you is your best-case-scenario.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us (Ephesians 3:20 NIV).

 Here is a couple quick sayings for the day as well: 

 " Carry a heart that never hates. Carry a smile that never fades. Carry a touch that never hurts."

 " Don't feel bad for making decisions that upset other people. You're not responsible for their happiness. Your responsible for yours! "

 Mom is hoping that your evening will be everything you want & need it to be tonight. Mom will whisper to you later this evening when I go to bed like I do each night. I won't be lighting a candle though as we won't be home until about 10 pm. Come & visit Mom if you get the chance to. I would love that. Please continue to watch over us, Tyler. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.  Always remember that you my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You are inside my heart, mind, body & soul. I miss you like crazy & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. 

Hopefully Mom will get to see the moon again this evening. Last night it was so bright & I believe it was a full moon. Mom was surprised to see it where the sky was cloudy & gray for the most part but when I saw it, it sure made Mom smile. Thank you for your painting in the sky this morning. Again, the sunrise was gorgeous. Mom will be back tomorrow night with another letter to you so until then..... good night my sweet precious son & sweet dreams in the heavens above. Fly high & free!

 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
