Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Wednesday later afternoon? Mom is doing okay but honestly I am running way behind schedule. It is already 3:30 pm & Mom is just getting around to turning on her computer so that I could write your letter. My day has consisted of putting things together for an assistants drive that my complex is holding. For the next week the main office will be collecting things for the less fortunate & the homeless. It is a toiletry drive. That means they are collecting things such as soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, shaving cream, razors, etc... Mom went through our apartment & gathered up so much stuff that I had purchased & have never used & neither has Mark. Lots of travel size stuff which will be great. Of course with finding all that stuff Mom naturally had to clean. That took me about 3 hours to do that & put everything else back. After I was done all that I went to the main office & gave it to them. They were so thankful for all of it. I think Mom & Mark gave 10 bars of soap, 30 bottles of lotion, 9 bottles of conditioner, 10 bottles of shampoo & a few other things as well. we will be going this weekend to pick up some more things such as the shaving cream, razors, baby wipes, etc.... Mom enjoys doing things like this. It makes my heart smile knowing that we are helping others out in need. Not many people know this & I know that you didn't as well because you were so small & it was during the time when you first got sick, Mom & Dad stayed with you so much during the 1st 2 weeks & we were never home. We stayed at the hospital right with you. During that time, our landlord didn't really care. She just wanted her money for rent. She evicted us. Mom & Dad were homeless. Meme & Aunt Beck & Grandpa Ed packed everything up for us & put it in storage. We had no where to call home. We were thankful for David's House. They took us in. We lived there for 7 months. Those sure were some tough times for us but we never showed it. After some help, Mom contacted her insurance company about my settlement from the car accident that I was in. After reading what we went through, they deemed it a hardship & released my money. I was so thankful. That is when Mom bought the house in Charlestown. That is the only place that you would really remember & call home! I think that is why Mom does the things that she does. I love to help others when I can. I know first hand what it is like to have nothing, what tough times are really like. Mom is now blessed in ways that I never could imagine for myself & Mark. I thank God every day for the gifts that I have. I know you are proud of me for doing all that I do. I don't ever hesitate either. I just do it. It makes me feel good inside. This is something Mom will never stop doing. 
 The rest of my day was pretty much going to get the mail, getting the packages from the office & then having to clean up all that mess. I ended up vacuuming the apartment & doing the trash. Phones have been quiet all day long. Mark is working tonight so my evening will consist of having dinner & then watching a movie or 2 before going to bed. I need to get up early so that I can get to my studies as I did not do anything today. Mom will whisper to you as I always do tonight so smile when you hear my voice & I will smile back to you as well. Mom is hoping that your evening will be everything you need & want it to be. Have some fun while I sleep tonight & if you can come visit Mom in my dreams. I love that when you do. Always know you are loved & missed so much my sweet precious son. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You are in my heart, mind, body & soul forever. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. Mom is hoping to see the moon again this evening. I have seen it the last two nights & I have whispered to you. I hope you heard Mom. I will do it again tonight if I see it! 
 Not much for updates. Mom didn't talk to anyone at all last night but today I was able to chat with Meme for a couple minutes on her break. I will try to call Grandpa tonight to check in & do some more calls tomorrow as well. Here are a couple sayings for you for the day:
 Remember the three wise monkeys? See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. That means: See no negativity, hear no negativity, speak no negativity. Those three monkeys were definitely wise! 
 Gratitude is vitamin for the soul.
 Before Mom closes your letter for the night I will write the daily prayers to you. I will be back tomorrow with another letter so until then... good night & sweet dreams my bright shining star! I love you. Here are your prayers:
  May you take a new grip with your tired hands and mark out a straight path for your feet. God has given you promises to hang onto and enough light for the road in front of you. Someone once said, ‘The devil drives but the Shepherd leads.’ Tell your soul that the devil will not drive you off your promise, off your property, or off your sense of purpose. In fact, the Lord Himself fights for you! So take your stand, hold your ground, and refuse to be bullied by your fears. Jesus won the war so you can win this battle. You are mighty in God, my friend!
 May PEACE settle into your soul before your answer comes. May JOY rise up within you at a moment you least expect it. May PROVISION come out of nowhere and remind you that God has your back and HE goes before you. May you defy the odds and come back from the trials you’ve endured. May you thrive right here, in the place God has you. And may your life be a living-breathing testimony of God’s grace and goodness, His kindness, and His love. You matter so very much to Him. Have a blessed night. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
