Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is so tired but I am doing alright. I have been up since early this morning watching the sunrise, getting the pups fed, making coffee, getting snacks ready for our little road trip today, getting ready, walking the pups & heading out the door at 9:45 am! The weather is beautiful but chilly & windy. The skies are blue & the sun is shining so bright. Mark & Mom headed off for about an hour or so drive this morning. We reached our appointment exactly at 11 am & we were there until 2 pm. We were there a lot longer than expected that is for sure! Everything was good news & Mom will share it with everyone within the next couple weeks. We need to get a few things in order & go back & see them in the middle of April. We are pretty excited.... Mark definitely is & he should be! we got back home around 3:45 pm & pretty much got right on my computer to write to you before I feed the pups & get dinner going for us this evening. It is already 4:24 pm & Mom can feel that it is going to be a very early night for her tonight. My eyelids are so heavy. I am eating chocolate to stay awake right now...lol! 
 Mom has nothing for updates for you as I did not talk to Grandpa, Debbie, Meme or Bob at all. We didn't even have our skype call last night that was scheduled. We were online waiting & Tubal & Karen never showed up. We messaged them to see if everything was okay & they messaged us back later last night saying that there were kicked back in their recliners & they fell fast asleep. They woke up around 8 pm so we rescheduled for next week. We laughed about it. They work so much so there is no surprise that they fell asleep! It is all good & no worries at all! We were just glad that they were okay & nothing had happened. Mom will be sure to catch up with everyone tomorrow or the middle of the week. Mark has a few things to do tomorrow so I will be here doing some school work while he is gone & then we will enjoy the day together in the afternoon. Vacation is so nice. We are enjoying getting several things done & being productive about it. It just feels great! 
 Mom hopes that your evening tonight will be everything that you need & want it to be, Tyler. May you get to have some fun as well while Mom gets some sleep tonight. If you can, come be with me or visit me in my dreams tonight. Thank you my sweet precious son. Mom will whisper to you later this evening as well so be sure to listen out for my voice. Smile when you hear Mom & I will smile right back to you. I miss you so much. I love you more than anything. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. I will light a candle for you again this evening like I have also been doing for the last several months. Know that when the flame is burning bright, it is burning bright for you! Mom has to get going now so that I can fix dinner & get the pups fed but I will be back tomorrow again with another letter to you. Before I go... here are a couple sayings for the day:
 " Whatever happens around you, don't take it personally....Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves. "
 " Don't talk, act. Don't say, show & don't promise, prove. "
 Here is the prayer for the day as well:  May you, amidst your everyday life, dare to scoot a little closer to Jesus, cup your ear, and listen to what He has to say to you. He loves you. He cherishes you. He has hopes for you. He wants to heal you, restore you, and renew you. His truth will set you free. His power will part the waters. His love will heal your soul. His heart for you will make you whole. Lean in today. Listen for His voice; it's gentle, powerful, redemptive, and life-giving. Oh, how He loves you! May you dare to believe who you can be because of Him. Have a blessed and beautiful day.
 Good night & sweet dreams my bright shining star! Until tomorrow....
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

PS. Today is your cousin Ray Jr's Birthday! He is 31 years old! Make sure you stop on in & leave him a sign that you were there! Just don't scare him....lol!
