Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Saturday evening? Mom is doing good despite the fact that I got very little sleep last night. I was up a lot. Mom sure is hoping to get some good sleep tonight!  The weather today was so beautiful. It reminded Mom when we lived in Texas! It was 90 degrees, humid & hazy today! Mark & Mom left at 10 am this morning & we got home at 4 pm. I put everything away & we decided to order Chinese for dinner. Everything is cleaned up & ready for Mom to just relax after I write to you. I am quite tired so if this happens to be a short one I do apologize ahead of time. Mom just wants to kick back & relax as I have a headache & my back is hurting tonight. Anyways.... Mom got her nails done today & Mark got a hair cut. After that we went to 3 stores & poked around & then after we headed to the mall so that Mark could get his watch fixed. Mom spent her Birthday money. I got lots of cute & girly stuff for my office. We didn't have to do grocery shopping because we already got that on Thursday night. It felt good just to go wherever we wanted & no time limits. Tomorrow we are headed to the movies. I think of you when I see movies like that. It is the Star Wars series but it is about Han Solo. I remember watching them all with you. How we loved to binge watch movies together. These & everything else I miss about you. Mom misses you so much. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You will always live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. 
 Mom spoke to Meme today. She was saying that Skittles still is not doing the greatest. He is better than he was but not as good as he could be. Mom is worried because if he doesn't get better than they will have to make a tough decision & Meme & Bob have had to do that 2 times now just like Mark & Mom have. Those are never easy things to do. Mom prays that Skittles gets better soon for them. Aunt Beck called her yesterday & she was excited that they got to chat for a bit. Mom thinks that is outstanding. She was saying that Aunt Beck was really chatty. I guess they are all going to come here for Father's Day so we can take Grandpa & Bob out for lunch. That will be nice. They will just come for the day & then go back home. we will be up there the following weekend. Mom did speak to Grandpa last night as well. He was watching the Red Sox play on TV & we chatted for a bit but not too long as Mom was not feeling good at all. I am calling them back tonight. Mom is actually chatting with them right now as I am writing to you. Everything is good with them. Debbie has to go to a doctor about her foot but other than that all is well. Great Grammy is not feeling well again. They went to visit her today & she was sleeping because she was sick all last night. I hope she feels better & soon. I think that is all the updates that I have for today. 
 The sky is turning really dark right now. I think we are going to be getting a storm here soon. It is too early for it to be this dark. Yikes.. that will make like the 4th one this week alone. Guess there will not be a sunset tonight again. Mom did see the moon though & it was pretty last night. I smiled. I will whisper to you in a little bit. Smile when you hear Mom & I will smile back to you. I have the scent warmer going instead of the candle tonight. I will light it tomorrow for you. I will be back later in the afternoon to write to you again. For now though, Mom is going to get going so that I can relax for the evening. Hope you have a fun night while Mom gets some rest. Come be with me or visit with me in my dreams tonight. Thank you my sweet precious son. Until tomorrow..... good night & sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer:

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:3, NIV

Dear Father in heaven, we thank you for wanting to give us happiness and for holding our earthly life firmly in your hands. May we have the confidence that we are in your hands. Grant us the light of faith. Let this light of faith guide us in material things and help us to wait in patience until the doors open for us to pass through according to your pleasure. So bless us all. Bless our life. May we grow joyful and free of heart through all that Jesus Christ gives. On the foundation he establishes for us may your divine working, your fatherly love, lift and support us throughout our lives. Amen.
