Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday later afternoon? Mom right now is so relieved and happy! I will explain that to you in a minute. The weather today was sunny and cold but the skies were blue all day long. The sun is about to set though as it is getting pretty dark. Mom was up early this morning and I was able to lounge in bed for a bit and then I got ready and grabbed something quick to eat and then I came right in to study. I worked on my exam all afternoon. It is the same one that I have been working on for the past week. I really was dreading it. Mom knew that she was going to fail the exam and I was finally able to accept that and learn from the mistakes so that I could move on to the final exam tomorrow. My hands were shaking as I hit the submit button. I walked away from the computer because I did not want to see what I got for a grade...lol. To my wonderful surprise I got a 90 on it. An A-. I was in total shock and my hands were shaking even more and my emotions were built up that I started to cry happy tears. I couldn't believe it. I worked hard on this test and I went over and over it again and again. I guess it paid off. I actually only changed 1 answer from my original. Right now my grade is sitting at a 91 which is an A. My final exam will start tomorrow. I should be starting my next course Wednesday. That one is an advanced coding class. Another tough one but I can do it! I am almost finished up and then I will have completed all the courses for my Associates Degree in Medical Specialties. I am very proud of myself and I know you and many others are just as proud. I know you have been right here with Mom and I thank you so much my sweet precious son. 
 Last night was exactly what I thought it would be. It was relaxing and we watched TV all night before going to bed early. we never had the skype call because Tubal and Karen had company. We have rescheduled again for this coming Sunday night but not sure that will happen either because of the SuperBowl. Most likely it will be in a couple weeks. I did speak to Grandpa and Debbie. Things there are okay. Grandpa was not very talkative at all but he was doing good. I think he was tired from working all day. Debbie went and saw her sister at DHMC. Pam is doing better but still has a long road ahead of her. She did break 7 ribs and one of them got broken in the front and back so it is literally floating. The doctors are very concerned about her because of all the other medical issues that she has. she will be there for awhile. Debbie fell in the parking lot of the hospital when she was getting out of the car. It was snow and ice and she lost her balance. She is okay but scraped her knee up pretty good. I guess everyone else is doing okay. I will touch base with them during the week. I will fill you in when I know of things. 
 Right now it is going on 4:45 pm. I have half of dinner prepped and I will get that in the oven to cook and finish the rest of it while it is cooking. Mom wanted chef salads again and I am putting BBQ chicken in mine for the protein. I have about 7 serving of veggies in my salad so it is pretty healthy. I look forward to them now. We have it about twice a week. Mom will feed the pups in a few minutes and then I will relax for the night. Tomorrow I will be up early so I can start my final exam while Mark is working all day long. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. I will light the candle in a few minutes and I will whisper to you in a bit. Smile for Mom and I will smile back to you. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my true superhero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you will be inside my heart, mind, body and soul. I miss you more than words, Tyler. Come visit me tonight in my dreams if you can. Thank you. Please continue to watch over Mom and the rest of our family and friends. Thank you so much. Fly high and free and give everyone that is with you hugs and kisses from me. I miss them all as well. Mom needs to go for now so until tomorrow comes.... good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for tonight:

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. Psalm 32:8, NIV

Lord our God, we come into your presence and ask you to help us. Help us in every part of our lives, even when we do not understand. Be with us with your Spirit. Guide and lead us with your hand. Let your will be done in all things, even if we must bear suffering. Your will is for good alone and you will set everything right. Help us. Bless us through your Word, through everything we are allowed to hear from you, our God and our Father. Amen.
