Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is so sorry about yesterday and not writing you a letter but to be quite honest with you, Mom was never on the computer at all and I was busy from morning to night. I was up early once again yesterday morning and I decided not to study again and I went through and packed up all the red kitchen, living room and dining room stuff for my friend who is coming to get it all at the end of the month and replace it with all the copper things we have ordered and purchased. Mom was so crazy yesterday. I was exhausted again at 8 pm for forced myself to stay awake longer. I finally went to bed at 9:15 pm to be woken up at 1 am by Princess and Ozzy because we were having a really bad thunderstorm. The thunder scared them both. Mom got to bed around 3 am to be woken up a second time to another thunderstorm around 5 am. I guess I was so tired that I fell asleep and woke up at 7:45 am. Mark had already fed the pups and was down doing a workout when I woke up. I lounged in bed for a bit and then decided to get up and get the rest of the things done in the apartment. After that was finished, Mom vacuumed, did laundry, took a shower and got ready and then took the pups for a nice walk. Now, Mark is back to work, pups are sleeping and Mom is writing to you before I study for a bit and then get the night routine started. It is already 2:31 pm.
 I have to say that I have really nothing to update you on at all. The last couple days have been really quiet. The phones have not rang once. I haven't spoken to Meme since Monday evening and I haven't spoken to Grandpa, Aunt Beck or anyone since the weekend. Mom has been focused on getting the apartment redone and set up that I have been doing that 8 hours the last 2 days and nothing else. Tomorrow will be back to normal with studying all day long and then catching up with everyone to see how they are doing. I know that Bean finally goes to the doctors next week for her appointment and I know that Bob has one coming up as well. Great Grammy is still not doing all that well. Mom is hoping that she hangs in there so that I can see her in 2 weeks. Things look more grim every day though. Mom will keep you posted though when I know of things.
 A dear friend of Mom's that I have known for over 38 years posted something to my timeline today. It was a picture of a statue for bereaved parents. I never knew that the month of July was bereaved parents month. Mom will post the picture on here tonight but I wanted to write the quote that goes with it so here it is: "We may look as if we carry on with our lives as before. We may even have times of joy and happiness. Everything may seem “normal”. But THIS, 
“Emptiness” is how we all feel...all the time."  That is so completely true. Mom's friend said that she saw that and automatically thought of me. It touched Mom very much. I just felt the need to share it. 
 The weather today is really beautiful. The sun is shining and the skies are blue. The wind is blowing and the temps are just right. It is a nice change from the 95 degree weather that we have gotten the past 8 days. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining at all! I love that weather too. Anything but snow for me....as you know! Mom has been surprised that there has been no sunsets though when the days have been nice. I always wonder why that is. I really am going to do some research on this! I will let you know what I find out. Maybe tonight you will get your brushes out and paint a lovely sunset for Mom. I will be looking out for one!
 I will whisper to you as I always do every evening. I hope you hear Mom and my voice makes you smile. Mom will smile to you when I talk to you. I will light the candle tonight as well. It will burn bright just for you my sweet precious son. I miss you more than ever. 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 in my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom hopes that your evening will be filled with all kinds of new and exciting things for you to learn and do. I hope you will have the chance to come visit Mom in my dreams tonight when I am sleeping. Mom needs to get going so that I can at least put an hour or two into my studies. I will promise you that I will be back tomorrow with another letter. Until then.... good night and sweet dreams my bright shining star!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

So let us come near to God with a sincere heart and a sure faith, with hearts that have been purified from a guilty conscience and with bodies washed with clean water. Hebrews 10:22, TEV
Lord our God, grant us true unity with your Son Jesus Christ, so that his power can be revealed in us and we may find new life in which we can truly serve you. Protect us from all error. Be among us with your Spirit to make us people who are genuine. Let your will be carried out more and more in this age. Let your will again intervene so that a new creation may come, a new heaven and a new earth, as we have been promised. May your name be great among us, may your kingdom come and everything in heaven and on earth be done according to your will. Amen.
