Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this beautiful sunny Saturday early evening? Mom is doing good today! I went to bed early last night, got up early, got ready, walked the pups & then Mark & Mom headed out the door to go do errands & some other shopping that was needed. We got back home around 2 pm & Mom has been on the go since. I put everything away that needed to be, hopped online & did a Walmart order & the grocery shopped & then I needed to pay a couple bills, prepped dinner & it is cooking now as I am writing to you. Phew... I am pooped...lol! After dinner tonight & dishes, Mom & Mark are going to watch a movie & then go to bed early as we have an exciting day ahead of us tomorrow. We are headed to the Celtic Women concert. We will be gone for the day. I know it will be fun & Mom is looking forward to it so much! 
 Last night after dinner, Mom & Mark went outside for a bit & I got to look at his new vehicle. It is pretty nice I must say. Mark is very happy with it & that makes Mom happy. After that, Grandpa called & we chatted for a bit & then we watched TV for a couple hours before bed. All in all it was a nice relaxing evening. Tonight will be the same. 
 The weather today was chilly but the sun was out all day long & it was so nice to see. The wind was okay. Gusts at times but no complaining here. Mark & Mom had a good day out. We took his new vehicle. It is a nice ride. We now both have reliable vehicles which is the most important thing. Mom doesn't have to worry anymore about him when he is on the road. Not much for updates today I am afraid. I did speak to Meme a bit ago. Once again she was frustrated with her tablet. I felt bad but I couldn't help her at all. I don't know what she is talking about. I guess in a way I am tired of talking electronics with everyone. I have done it now for the past 2 weeks. It is getting to Mom. It seems every day/night there is something else that needs to be done & I just need a break from it all. I know that is probably not the best way to feel as they are trying but I just want to talk to them & see how they are...not talk about computers or cell phones or tablets, etc.... As I write this... I am noticing that it seems a bit mean & I need more patience & yes I do.... indeed I do. I don't know. Guess I will just chill out for the night & have a better view of it tomorrow. I will be calling them all tomorrow night when we get home. I will touch base with Aunt Beck at the beginning of the week as that will be the last time we chat before she leaves for Italy. I won't have a chance to talk to her until she is back home in 3 weeks. I know you will keep them safe & I thank you for that. I know you keep us all safe as well. Thank you pumpkin! It means the world to me that you watch over us like you do. I love you so much. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. I miss you like crazy too. Always remember that you are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You forever live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. 
 Tonight I will whisper to you so be listening. Smile when you hear Mom & I will smile right back to you. I will light the candle for you as well. Think tonight will end that one & I will be starting a new one tomorrow evening. I hope that your evening is filled with everything that you need & want it to be filled with. Come be with Mom & visited me in my dreams tonight. I would love that. I just thought about it & I sure hope that you were there for Aunt Beck's reading today with Forrest. Mom has a feeling that you, Nana & Pepe were there along with a few others! I can't wait to hear all about it. That is about all that I have for today for you. Mom needs to get going so I can finish dinner as it is 5:35 pm. I will be back tomorrow morning with your letter so until then..... good night & sweet dreams my bright shining star. Fly high & free like I know you do!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the saying for the day: " Today, take some time to enjoy lifes sweet & simple pleasures. "

Here is the prayer for the day as well:
  May you have the presence of mind to cherish every second with the ones you love. May you make time for fun, for rest, and for reflection. May you plan time in your schedule not to have plans, and see what happens. May you come to know--on a whole new level--that much more rests on God's shoulders than on yours. And may you learn to enjoy the journey because His yoke is easy and His burden is light. And He's crazy in love with you. Have a wonderful, replenishing weekend.
