Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. Today was a pretty down day for me as I didn't really do much of anything. mark had some things to do this morning & Mom stayed home & did some little cleaning & rearranging that I wanted to get done. I made a nice breakfast this morning, did those dishes, got ready, finally put family & friends into the phones, took the pups for a wonderful walk & now I am writing to you. I also had a conversation with Bonnie as well & around 4 pm I will be chatting with my friend Christina while I am prepping dinner for this evening. I was suppose to call her last night but honestly between running around all day long, being up early yesterday morning & having to do dinner, clean up... Mom was exhausted by 6 pm & I was ready for bed. I had a massive headache as well. Guess I dozed off for a bit on the couch, Mark said. I woke up around 8:30 pm & then back to sleep by 10 pm. I woke up this morning around 7 am & felt better. Tonight will be a nice dinner, maybe a drink & some TV. Tomorrow Mark has a couple things that he needs to do again in the morning & Mom will stay home & probably do some studying while he is gone. The rest of the day... not sure. Not much to really do, honestly... guess we will cross that bridge when we get to it. I think the rest of the week will be pretty much the same. Mom does have cleaning & stuff to do before everyone is here this weekend so I have that to keep me busy for the day time. Mom was hoping that we would be able to do some day things during this vacation but because of yesterday that is not going to happen. I guess I can't do anything about it so... so be it. Mom is bummed a bit but oh well. Maybe another time. No use getting all upset about it when I can not do anything to change things, ya know?
 Anyways.... Mom spoke to Meme this morning on her break. She is sick with a nasty cold. She said she came down with it yesterday & is hoping that it will go away in a couple days. If not she & Bob will not be coming down for Easter weekend as she doesn't want to get anyone else sick. That is a bummer as well but I completely understand what she means as both Mark, Debbie & Grandpa have been sick enough this winter. Mom will definitely say some prayers for Meme in hopes of her being better to come here. Everyone else seems to be doing well as far as I know. Grandpa hasn't called much in the last few days so I will have to give him a jingle tonight or tomorrow night. I will touch base with Aunt Beck as well tomorrow. She must be getting so excited because her trip to Italy is coming up in 2 1/2 weeks. Wow... that went by so freakin fast! Mom can't wait to hear all about it & see pictures. she will have an amazing time! I know you will be with her as well. Send her the signs. She will love it! Not much else is going on these last few days. I guess everyone is laying low or enjoying the weather that we are getting where there is no more snow flying. It is all about the sun shining & blue skies & melting all that white stuff away! It's been melting here nicely. Most of the places have very little snow left but the snow banks are still so high. That is going to take a few rains & a few warm days to melt them away but hoping within the next couple of weeks that will happen! Mom's fingers are crossed for that one! 
 Mom is hoping that you evening will be filled with everything that you need & would like it to be. I hope you have fun flying around & fulfilling everything that you need to do while Mom is sleeping tonight. Come by & visit me in my dreams or sit beside me for a bit if you have the time. Thank you my sweet precious son! I miss you so much & I love you more than words can say. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. You will always be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Forever you are in my heart, mind, body & soul. I will whisper to you later this evening so be listening out for me. I will smile to you & hopes that you are smiling back to Mom. I sure miss that smile, Tyler! I started a new candle last night. It sure burned bright. It says...Love is all you need! Every time you see that burning bright at night, just know it is for you & all our loved ones that are with you now. 
 Here is the sayings for the day: " If you can't figure out your purpose. Figure out your passion. For passion will lead you right into your purpose. "
 " Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tip toe if you must, but take the step. "
 Mom is going to get going for now as it is 4 pm & I need to make that call to my friend before I forget again & if I did that would not be cool. I will be back tomorrow to write to you again. Until then.... good night & sweet dreams my bright shining star. I love you more than all the stars in the sky! Never forget that & always feel it deep in your soul.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here are the prayers for the day:
 May God answer your accumulative prayers for the ones you love. May He open their eyes, heal their wounds, and restore their perspective. May He cut off every person and circumstance that sends a lying message to them and make their crooked ways straight. May He arrange circumstances and people to bring life-giving, soul-restoring truths until they're totally free! May He restore the weary, heal the broken, and bring the prodigals home. And may you wait with joyful expectancy because God moves when you pray. Rest in the promise that God loves your loved one far more passionately than you do!
  May you step back today and give time and space to consider this truth: No circumstance, no enemy, no opposition can keep you from God's best purpose for you! Your unbelief is the only roadblock you have to deal with. God can do in a moment what takes us years to accomplish. Consider afresh what impossible things Jesus wants to do in and through you. Kneel, if you can. Open your hands. Look past your frustrations and consider His promises. As the day progresses, may Jesus find faith and expectancy in your heart. And may He download fresh insights tonight while you sleep. Bless you!
