Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday evening? Mom did it again... 3 days in a row where I have studied up until 5 pm. It actually is after 5 pm right now and boy Mom sure is tired. My head hurts and my eyes are sore from looking at the computer for so long. The weather hasn't helped much either. Since around 6 am it has been raining pretty hard and heavy. Lots of thunder and lightning as well which has scared the pups for almost the entire day. I can tell that tonight is going to be a very early evening for Mom and Mark. He got home last night around 8:30 pm so that wasn't so bad but he still have work to do when he got home. He stopped around 11 pm and we both went to bed. Mom was so tired that she crashed hard. I think I fell right to sleep and only woke up just a couple times during the evening. I need to get some more good sleep tonight. I am finishing up my exam tomorrow and submitting it so hopefully I passed it. Mom is crossing her fingers for sure. This one was a toughie. I know you will be with me when I do submit it so I thank you. 
 Mom just realized that there are only 2 more days left in this month and Sunday it will be July 1st. Somehow Mom is behind a week. Probably because last week so so hard on Mom and that is how i lost track of the days and time. Mom is hoping that you liked all of the pictures that I posted this month that had to do with some of your favorite things you loved....from family to music groups to movies to games, etc.... Mom enjoyed posting them with captions so that anyone who read them would know why and how you loved them. I am not sure what I will do for the month of July. Probably will be about the fireworks, sunsets and beaches. All the things that you and Mom loved. Times like these makes Mom miss you so much. I miss you every day and all the time but summer is tough because that is when we could do so much together and be outside. The next several days are going to be hot hot hot for us. They will be in the middle 90's and the humidity will make it feel like it is in the 100's. It will bring me back to the days in Texas. Mom is looking forward to the sun shining though. You know how much I love it. Grandpa, Debbie, Meme and Bob will be here again in 6 days. Mom will be taking the weekend to prep for it all. Grocery shopping, cleaning, etc.... I love when they are here though. I miss them very much too. It is nice to be closer now so we can see them more often but we still are 3 hours away. You know what I mean and how I feel. It was the same way when we were apart. Mom will have to watch the weather to see what it is going to be like those days and plan our outings accordingly for Bob. He doesn't do well in the humid and heat. He has a hard time breathing. either way we will have fun for sure and lots of laughs. Make sure to give us some signs that you are here with us. Meme is wanting to see a gorgeous sunset. Do you think you could give her one? Thanks my sweet precious son. 
 Mom doesn't have any updates for you at all because the phones have been quiet the past 2 days. I am sure that Grandpa will call this evening and Meme as well. If not then I will be sure to call them tomorrow or over the weekend to say hello and see what is going on. I will update you when I know of things. Mom needs to get going for now and get dinner going for Mark and I. Pups have been fed already. I sure hope that you come and visit me in my dreams tonight and that your evening will be filled with all the things you need to do and want to do. Have fun while Mom sleeps tonight! I miss you like crazy and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You will always be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever in my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will light the candle in a few minutes and I will whisper to you later this evening. Smile for me and I will smile to you. I will be back with another letter to you tomorrow afternoon so until tomorrow comes.... good night and sweet dreams my bright shining star.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer:

All of creation waits with eager longing for God to reveal his sons. For creation was condemned to lose its purpose, not of its own will, but because God willed it to be so. Yet there was the hope that creation itself would one day be set free from its slavery to decay and would share the glorious freedom of the children of God. Romans 8:19–21, TEV

Lord God, we thank you for all you reveal in your creation so that our lives may be fruitful. Reveal your wisdom and strength among people everywhere so that death and destruction do not have their way, but your will, your love, your mercy shall prevail. Let our age learn that power belongs to you and not to men, and that you will at last fulfill all your promises of good. Your day of justice and holiness will break in, and all misery will be removed through your great mercy. Watch over us as you have done till this hour, and keep us safe during the night. Be present and carry out your will wherever there is misfortune. May your will be done on earth as in heaven. Amen.
