Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? It is definitely a Monday for sure. Mark has been up since the early morning doing another cutover for his client in Mexico. He is still at it. This is 6 hours & they are not close to being done at all. Looks like a very long day & evening for him. This is his 3rd cutover in a month & he has another one on Saturday afternoon. I wish he could see that this is too much for him but he doesn't & Mom just stays quiet now & says nothing. No reason to as it doesn't solve anything. Mom can't seem to get out of her way today for some reason. I just feel blah today. I know I sleep okay..not the greatest but not the worst either. We were up early again this morning because Ozzy was sick. Mom was up at 8 am & laid around for a bit, then I got up, got ready & took the pups for a nice walk. It was on the cool side today but the sun is shining now. I think Mom will take it easy tonight. Maybe a warm bath & then I will go to bed early. I have a nail appointment in the morning & Mark is at a client all day long so I really need to get some sleep. 
 Last night was a quiet evening. Mark & Mom watched a movie & then a couple TV shows & called it a night. I did chat with Meme & Grandpa for a little bit as well. We did not skype with Tubal & Karen. That got rescheduled to this coming Sunday. Everything seems to be going smooth up in NH with everyone. Grandpa said that Great Grammy is getting a little bit better so that is going in the right direction for sure. She is such a tough nugget! She will be 98 years young in August. This week will be busy for Mom. I have studying to do all week, pack for the weekend as well & we head out on Friday afternoon. This week is going to go by quite fast I believe. Friday, Mom will write to you before we leave & Saturday I will write to you in the morning before I head out for the day & evening & then I will write to you Sunday afternoon when we get home. They probably won't be long letters but at least I won't miss a day. Mark's brother, Gary made it to the UK Sunday morning. He is safe & actually started his new assignment this morning. I am sure Mark will hear from him in the next few days. My friend, Danielle ( Eli's Mom ) put a note out there this morning that after today she was going off social media for a bit because when you are on it & post things, it comes back year after year in your memories & she does not want to have those memories keep popping up. Mom understands that. It is difficult. I get memories from you popping up from time to time & I actually take pictures of them so I have them to cherish. One came up this morning. I indeed took a picture & will post it on here like I did last time. I think it is for the best for her to do what she is doing because she needs to cherish all the time she has with Eli. No matter what, you can't get that time back...EVER! I hope she will stay in touch with Mom but I will again understand that she will need the time to gather herself & start the grieving process with her family when the time comes. She knows I am here for her & that is what matters the most. I think that is all the updates that I have for you today. It is only Monday so I am sure that I will have more as the week goes on. For now.... here is the color & it's meaning: Red: Red is not just your favorite color, you have a passion for red. People who choose res as their favorite color are in-the-know, present & always aware of what is going on around them. You exude a powerful energy & upon entering a room, your arrival is immediately known. You are outgoing & usually enjoy being the life of the party or center of attention. When you love, you love big. If someone disappoints or steps on your toes, you do not hesitate to let him or her know exactly how you feel & why. Not one to hide your feelings, you nip disagreements in the bud. You do not hold grudges & like to move on quickly because for you it is all about what is next; the next adventure or project. You are a natural born leader & easily gain respect from others. You lead with optimism & an animated can-do attitude that is contagious.
 Here are a couple sayings for the day: " Be grateful for all that you have & all that you are. "
 " Have confidence, follow your passion & never give up. "
 " Yes, it's going to be O.K. It will all work out.... You will make it through this.... "
 Mom can't believe that it is already 3 pm. This day has gone on quite quickly. I didn't even study at all as I didn't have it in me but tomorrow afternoon when I get home I will be studying for a couple of hours. I need to get moving on this. Mom will be back tomorrow with your letter. I will whisper to you later tonight & will light the candles for you. Smile when you hear Mom & I will smile to you my sweet precious son. I miss you more than words can say & I love you more than all the stars in the sky. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. You indeed will always be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Forever in my heart, mind, body & soul. Hope your evening is everything you need & want it to be. Have fun while I get sleep tonight. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thank you. Watch over us from above. Fly high & free my bright shining star. Good night & sweet dreams. Until tomorrow....
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:  May you begin to live more by faith than you do by sight. May you trust with your whole heart that God has already gone ahead of you, cleared the way, established grace, and answered prayers before you even fully understood just what you'd needed. Jesus is profoundly invested in your journey. He merely spoke, and the heavens came to be. He speaks now on your behalf because He loves you and is invested in you. Don't look around for signs. Look up and rejoice because He's got you. Live by faith today, because one day, your faith will become sight and you'll be glad you trusted Him. Have a sturdy-hearted day. You're mighty in God!
