Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Mom is doing okay. I was up early again this morning feeding the pups, getting them settled & making some coffee for Mark while he was still sleeping. He had a rough night last night but he seems to have broke his fever this morning. That is wonderful as he had a fever for 3 days. He was so cold last night so I knew his fever was up there. When I took it it was almost 102. Mom made sure that he was covered up so that he could sweat it out. Seems to have worked. He still is very pale in color & tired but I think another night of good sleep for him & he will be doing better in the morning. He has the cough still & Mom is making him take cough medicine & has him sucking on cough drops. He is eating & staying hydrated so that is a good thing too. This morning, Mom did housework.... dusted, vacuumed, did a little rearranging in my office & now I am writing to you after I had a couple chats with friends over the computer. Meme had called earlier. She is doing okay. I told her I would call her this weekend. Mom's friend Gary is coming down on Saturday to pick up some things that Mom & Mark were no longer wanting. It will be nice to finally get the things out of the garage as they have been there now for 2 months. Mark has been very patient with it as he needs that room to build his workout equipment. Mom has not spoken to anyone else in the last couple of days as Mom has been taking care of Mark. I will be sure to touch base with everyone on Sunday. I guess the weather calls for snow Saturday night into all day Sunday. We are suppose to get 3-5" of snow where as Meme & Grandpa will be getting 8-12" of it. Mom can tell that something is coming because I can feel it. The weather today is again cloudy & gray. The sun has not come out in over a week now. Mom sure is missing that Vitamin D. I can't wait for the warmer weather. Soon it will be here...soon! Mom will make sure to keep you updated on everything as soon as I know of things. I am sure to have updates for you on Sunday's letter. Saturday will be a busy day & I will not be talking on the phone. 
 Tonight will be an early night to bed for Mark & Mom as we will be getting up early to go run errands in the morning before our company comes. I am thinking that it will be dinner tonight & watching the Olympics on TV & then bed. Mark & Mom lead exciting lives, huh....lol? It's all good. Mom just wants to make sure Mark is feeling better before we go out & do anything. It is miserable enough to be sick & then have to go out & do things. We all have been there before many of times. Mom will whisper to you tonight just like I do every night. Be listening for my voice & smile when you hear me & I will smile back to you. Mom will light a candle for you as well so know that when I do it is for you & all our family, friends & pets that are with you on the other side. Mom misses you so much. More than words can say my sweet precious son. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Forever you will be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Always you will be in my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom hopes that your evening in heaven will be everything that you need & may want it to be. I know you are busy learning all kinds of news things & traveling everywhere you need to be but if you can, could you please come be with Mom while I sleep? Thank you, Tyler. That is all I got for today but I will be sure to be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then....good night & sweet dreams my bright shining star.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

 Here are the prayers for the day as well:  By God's grace, may you eliminate hurry and worry from your life. May you instead slow your pace and turn your face to the One who loves, saves, redeems, and restores everything about you. Instead of grabbing for yourself, may you pause and wait and see how God provides and cares for you. May you enter into a new season where you know God's rest, His pace, and His provision like you've never know before. He's for you and with you in ways you can't even imagine!
  May God give you absolute clarity and divine discernment so you can see things as they are, and not as they seem. May He keep you far from accusing tongues and protect you from being wrongly assessed. May you have the backbone and conviction to stand up for what is true, and to stand back when God wants to fight for you. May God give you laser-like focus to tend to your God-given assignment. May He grant you empowering grace to flourish where He has placed you. May your pure heart and firm faith keep you steady on the path ahead of you. These things are yours because you belong to Him.
