Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Saturday morning? Mom has just a few minutes to write to you while we wait for Grandpa, Debbie, Meme, Bob and Skittles to show up. I have been up since 6 am and got the pups fed, bed made, got ready, re vacuumed the floors and made homemade muffins. They just came out of the oven and it smells so good in here. They are triple berry. I have the coffee pot ready to go so fresh coffee is all set for when they arrive. The weather is so nice. The skies are blue and the sun is shining bright. It is suppose to be in the 50's today with some high winds but that is okay. Last night the sunset was so gorgeous. It went from a pastel yellow and orange to a hot pink and deep orange. Mom took some pictures of it and I will post one on here this morning. That painting in the sky made Mom smile and I whispered to you. I hope you heard me. I miss you so much Tyler. I know I say it all the time but I hope you feel it deep within your soul. I really do. Sometimes I wonder if looking at your pictures help me or hurt me more. It doesn't matter as I will never stop. I have one sitting on my computer desk in my office and you are all over the apartment. I hope you see that and know just how much you are loved still. It will always be that way my sweet precious son. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. Forever you will be my hero and the wind beneath my wings.
 Today I believe we are taking everyone to the mall like they asked. I know that Debbie wants to buy some new bling. She is looking for opals....Mom's favorite. I still have the opal and pink ring that you gave me for Mother's Day. I cherish that so much. Not sure where else we will go in the mall but I am sure we will be there for a couple hours and then head to grab something to eat and then back here for the rest of the afternoon and evening. We have poker planned for this evening as well. That is always a fun time. I wish you were here to play with us as Mom knows you would kick every ones butt. You were sharp when it came to that game. When we are playing help Mom...lol. I need it. Tomorrow we will be having breakfast here...Mom is making homemade belgian waffles and then we will take everyone to the Clam Box for lunch. We will come back here again and visit for a couple hours and then it will be time for them to head home. I love when they are here and I hate when they have to leave. I always get sad and shed a few tears. I just miss them all. I am 3 hours away but it seems further then that. 
 Meme called last night and told me that they went to see Bob's doctor yesterday. The visit was not a good one at all. The doctor was saying that Bob's heart is beating way too fast all the time. Even when he is just sitting and doing nothing. They are extremely concerned at this. No other meds will help and the ones he is on won't either. The doctors said that there is nothing else that can be done at this point. It is all just a waiting game and a matter of time. Mom is beyond sad to hear this news. How much time will he still have is not up to us it is up to God. Mom hopes that he has many years left but I also know that he has been fighting this for 7.5 years. That is a long time. Please watch over him and Meme for me. Thank you my sweet precious son. Everyone else seems well. Bean starts her new job at the end of this month. I wish her well. I know you will be with her too. That is all the updates that I have for today. I will have more for you on tomorrows letter. I will write to you after everyone leaves in the afternoon. Mom needs to get going for now though as they will be here in about 15 minutes. I will light the candle for you this evening and I will whisper to you later tonight. Smile for me and I will smile for you. Remember that you will live inside my heart, mind, body and soul forever. Until tomorrow comes.... have a wonderful day and good night later. Sweet dreams and come visit me in my dreams if you can. Have fun tonight while I sleep. I love you with all my heart.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. Isaiah 53:12, NIV

Dear Father in heaven, may we receive your Spirit so that we win the victory over ourselves and over the world around us, not with our human crudeness, force, and clamor, but only through your Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ. Help each of us in our own particular situation. We all know there is much evil around us; there is much we must fight. But in Jesus’ name we want to plunge right in, right into the world, right into whatever suffering is meant for us in the midst of the evil that is not yet overcome. In Jesus’ name we go toward the great victory that will come when all who are granted your joy will praise you with all their hearts, O Father in heaven. Amen.
