Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday early evening? Yup... Mom did it again and studied until 5 pm. Two days in a row and now I am behind in doing my evening routine but that is okay for tonight as Mark is at his client site doing their cutover. He has been gone since very early this morning and won't be home until late this evening. Mom just needs to feed the pups and make dinner for herself and I will do that after I get done writing to you for the night. well, actually, Mom looked at the clock and saw that it was after 5 pm so I just fed the pups and prepped my dinner. I am waiting for the oven to preheat and then cook it. I should be eating in about 40 minutes. That gives Mom plenty of time to write to you and get the pups settled in for the evening. It is pretty quiet here all day long and even now. The clouds have been in the sky all day long and it has been pretty gray for the most part. I know that we are suppose to get some rain later this evening and then all day tomorrow. From what I hear it is suppose to be heavy at times. Mom is in for the day anyways so it can rain all it wants to...lol. The wind is picking up outside as well and the leaves have turned on the trees. All signs that rain is on its way. Mom will be having a pretty quiet evening tonight. I will have dinner and watch my DVR shows. I have so many so that will keep me occupied for the night until it is time to go to bed. Like Mom said above.... I have no idea when Mark will be getting home. I sure hope that it won't be an 18 hour day because he just had one of those a week ago today. He is already working on 9 hours already. I thought I would hear from him but not yet. He will call when he can though. Mom is getting used to that....unfortunately. 
 Last night Mark and Mom decided to have another night where we didn't have TV on until later in the evening. We had dinner, Mom cleaned up and then we decided to play another game of Chess. Mark one the first game and then it was getting late so Mom just let Mark win the second game...lol. After that was done, Grandpa called and we chatted for a bit. All is well there. He was saying that they are still having issues with the nursing home where Great Grammy is. Doesn't surprise me in the least. I know that is the only place where she can be and that is really not a well-liked home. Mom hopes that she gets better but by the sounds of that, that is pretty grime. Mom will be going to see her when I am there in a month. Makes me sad that she has to be treated that way. She also has had some of her things stolen as well. I remember having to deal with that with your clothes and belongings. It made me mad then too. Makes me sick to know that there are people that do that and worse....ugh! All I can say is karma will come and get them. Meme called today. She is just not having a good few days. She is upset with Bob again because he is forgetting his medicine, she hasn't heard from the doctors yet either. I try to talk to her to calm her down but she just doesn't want to listen. She just gets more upset so Mom doesn't know what to do anymore. If you can help with that guidance that would be super my sweet precious son. Thank you. Mom will touch base with everyone else in the next couple of days or over the weekend. It just has been busy with me studying every day for long hours and then needing to do everything else. I try to do my best. Some understand and then there are some that don't. 
 Mom will be back to studying all day tomorrow and again on Friday. I am trying to do what I can as next week will be just 3 days of studying because everyone will be here again for 4 days and Mom will get to take a couple days off to be with them. I can't wait. It will be so much fun to have them here again for longer this time. The weather looks to be gorgeous on those days too so that is just a big extra bonus for us all. 
 I will light the candle before I have dinner tonight and I will whisper to you as I always do later. Be listening out for Mom and smile for me and I will smile back to you. I will be back tomorrow afternoon with another letter as well. Mom hopes that your evening will be everything that you need and want it to be. Have fun while I sleep tonight and come visit or sit beside me while I get some rest. Thank you pumpkin! I miss you so much. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you will be inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom needs to get going now as my dinner will be done very soon. Continue to watch over us and continue to fly free. Until tomorrow comes..... good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer:

But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:15–16, NIV

Lord God, help us to be holy as you are holy, and free us from all the earthly things that try to torment us. Grant us your Spirit so that we do what is right. May we always hold your hand confidently. Protect your children everywhere on earth, and help them do what is right even if the whole world does what is wrong. Help us, so that all we do becomes holy and pleasing in your sight. Let your grace grow among us and among the nations, and let your hand be strong to bring in your day, your day when everything is made new. May your name be kept holy, your kingdom come, and your will be done on earth as in heaven. Amen.
