Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is doling fairly well today! I have been up since the crack of dawn. I was showered & ready by 7:55 am & breakfast was made & dishes were done by 8:45 am. The maintanence guys were suppose to get here around 9 am & actually got here at 9:30 am. They worked on the water heater for about 2 1/2 hours & it seems to be working correctly now. There is no more dripping from what I can hear so we shall see. The pups were terrible today & they gave Mom a huge headache....ugh! They bark constantly for those 2 1/2 hours & now they are sound asleep. Mom was able to chat on the phone with Bonnie for about an hour this morning. It was so nice to catch up with her. My converstaion made me sad though because she is having a tough day today. She has massive cabin fever as she rarely ever goes out to do anything & she is lonely. I feel for her. I know that feeling all too well. Her family loves her but doesn't treat her all that nicely. That is not the way it is suppose to be. Family is everything or should be everything to everyone. Family deserves to be treated with love & respect & Mom just doesn't understand why her family treats her the way that they do. We are going to chat a couple times a week from here on in. Maybe that will help her out a little bit too. I know it will help Mom. I miss Bonnie. We haven't seen eachother in over 3 years. Maybe she will be able to come for a visit here this summer for a week. That would be great! Mom also called Aunt Beck but got her answering machine. I left a message telling her to call me when she had the time to talk. Meme called me this afternoon to check on the issues with the water tank. She will call back later tonight. This afternoon I have a call with a friend of mine as well. So today is a day to be on the phone...lol! Mark is at the office today & tomorrow so these are good days to make all these calls. That way I am not bothering him when he is at home. Mom will give you updates as I know of them. I will call Grandpa later tonight too just to check in on him as we haven't spoken in 3 nights. I sure hope he is feeling better. The only other thing that has been going on is that Mom & Mark will be switching offices. Mom is giving him the big one & I will be taking the smaller one. To do this we need to downsize a bit for stuff that we have. I have friends coming next weekend to get a futon, an oversized faux fur bean bag & Mark's desk he is using now. mark will be taking the desk that I have now as it is way to heavy to try & lift up & also we would have to take it all apart & neither of us really want to do that. Mark will have a lot more room in here for all his stuff & a bigger desk which is what he really needs more than I do. Mom will be ordering a smaller desk to suit my needs & it should be here by next week. I am excited to move to the other room & to down size a bit. The things we need to get rid of will be going to all good friends & good homes. They will get a lot more use there then they do here. The futon & bean bag chair never gets used & just collects dust with us. It is a good feeling & one that neither Mark or Mom will regret! The rest of the things that Mom needs to down size are books & collectible items. Some I will part with & some I will make room for as I will not get rid of them. I will work on this probably tomorrow while Mark is again at the office. It will give me some time & space to look at the stuff & make decisions. I will just put some music on & away I will go.....little by little. Mom cleaned up the office closet yesterday so that is all done & it looks a lot better! I am happy about that! That is all that is going on here. Mom will keep you updated though. 
 Mom is hoping that you will have a wonderful & peaceful evening tonight doing all the things that you want to do & may need to do. Come visit Mom in my dreams tonight if you can. I would like that very much. I will whisper to you as I always do when I am lighting my candle & before I go to bed. Smile to Mom when you hear my voice & I will smile to you when I am whispering to you my sweet precious son! Hopefully tonight I will get to see the moon & the stars as the sky is pretty clear today. The sun is shining & the temps are close to 40 degrees! Mom will take it for this time of the year! 
 Here is the saying for the day for you:
 This is my wish for you.... Laughter to kiss your lips, Beauty for your eyes to see, Sunsets to warm your heart, Rainbows to follow the clouds, Smiles when sadness intrudes, Hugs when spirits sag, Comfort on difficult days, Faith so that you can believe, Confidence for when you doubt, Patience to accept the truth, Courage to know yourself, Love to complete your life. 
 Here are the prayers for the day as well:
  May you embrace the healing process that God has in motion right now. You can trust Him. May you notice the daily graces He provides. They’ll make your burden lighter. May you refuse to stuff emotions that keep trying to surface. They’re trying to tell you something. May you refuse the quick fix. You’re made for the long-haul, not just for the moment. Healing is a process and it happens in steps. So take the next step. May you boldly imagine by faith the new levels of freedom that Jesus won specifically for you. That Promised Land is yours! Have a great day.
  May you rest assured that God has used all of your past experiences to prepare for this particular season of life. You’re not who you once were. You’re stronger than you know. You’ll have what you need in the days ahead. Jesus has your back and He’s gone before you. Don’t spend too much time pondering the pain of the past. You’re still standing. The devil didn’t win. Get excited about the Promised Land before you. Yes, there’ll be giants in the land. But it’s a good land. Go take it, by faith. And rejoice along the way. Have a great night.
 Mom needs to get going for now as it is already 1 pm & I need to do a few things & get them set before Mark gets home later tonight. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then please always know a few thing: Mom misses you terribly, all the time. I love you more than anything. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. You will always be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Forever you will live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. You are my bright shining star! Good night & sweet dreams, Tyler. Until tomorrow.....
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
