Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Monday evening? Mom is going to apologize to you ahead of time as this is going to be a very short letter tonight. It is already 5:40 pm & Mom is running behind. I am not sure why as I really have not done anything all day long. I was up early this morning...6:30 am & laid around in bed for a couple hours & then got up, made breakfast, cleaned the dishes, & did a few things around the apartment. That is all I have done today. The weather is crappy again... rain all day long, gray skies & clouds plus cold temps. The weather really affects my mood for sure but it has just been an off day for Mom all day long. It usually is when it is the first day without my estrogen cream (it is 21 days on/ 7 days off.) All the rest of the days go by lightning fast but that first day is the toughest for me. It always has been. Mom did get a new comforter set so I changed that all out & then had to do the rearranging to fit the old comforters & blankets in the spare closet. That took like an hour...lol. Mom hasn't even done anything really with her steps today. All in all it has been a very off day for me. I will get a good nights sleep tonight & then be ready to rock & roll come tomorrow. My books for my new class comes tomorrow as well so I will be studying all day long. Temps are suppose to be better & I think we will be seeing the sun shining as well! Yippee! Mark has a pretty long week ahead of him. He will be busy almost ever day & some long days in there as well. Mom will take advantage of that & I will be studying my butt off! 
 We were suppose to have a skype call last night with Tubal & Karen but they cancelled as they were traveling home from West Virginia. We rescheduled for next Sunday. Last night turned out to be a very quiet evening. No phones rang & we watched TV the whole night. Tonight will be dinner, dishes, taking a long hot bath & then going to bed so that I can get up early in the morning to start the day off right. I can not have a repeat of today at all. Mom did chat with Meme for about 5 minutes. She is going to call me this evening. Guess they is no change in Bob but I will get a better update & tell you tomorrow. Nothing else is there to update you on but it is only Monday & I am sure to have something this week. 
 Mom hopes that your evening will be everything you want it to be. May it be peaceful, restful & perhaps fun while I sleep tonight. Come visit me if you can. I will whisper to you later this evening so be listening out for my voice. Smile when you hear Mom & I will be sure to smile back to you. Always remember that you are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You are forever in my heart, mind, body & soul. I will light the candle for the evening as well. It will be burning bright in your honor & just for you my sweet precious son. I miss you so much. More than words can say. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then.... good night & sweet dreams. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer:
 He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” Luke 22:41-42, NIV

Dear Father in heaven, we lift our eyes to you. You allow earthly events to follow their own course, and even your own Son had to suffer and die. But your plan is already prepared and you will act in our time according to your will. We pray, “Your will be done, your will!” In the midst of all the suffering let your love be revealed in many places, wherever it is possible for people to understand it. You have always protected us; protect us still. You have done much for us and we want to praise your name. We want to be people who always acknowledge you and praise you, for you will never let any be lost who hope in you. Be with us this night, help us, and send us the strength we need to serve you, also in our everyday life. Amen.
