Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday morning? Mom is waiting for Mark to get off his call so that we can pack the vehicle and hit the road to NH. Mom has decided to chance it instead of being alone here all weekend while Mark went up. I think I will do just fine as I have been staying very hydrated this morning already and I have taken my medicine. Mom is going to ask a favor of you though... can you please watch over us as we travel up there? Please have the traffic  be light so that we are not stuck for a long period of time so that Mom will be okay on the drive up there and also the drive home Sunday morning. Mom is also going to ask that there are no other problems either... car trouble, tummy troubles, etc... thank you so much, Tyler! I know that you will be with Mom and Mark and the pups as well. 
 Mom wanted to write to you this morning because I know that I will not have a chance to write to you later this evening with everything going on for the pre-wedding stuff. I will however have the time to write you a short letter Saturday evening after everything is done and we are settled back at the hotel. We will be back Sunday afternoon so Mom will write to you before we have our skype call that evening. I like to try my hardest to write to you every day because I still feel so close to you. I miss you so much and 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. You are my shining star that leads the way for me every new day and every evening. Mom obviously won't be able to light a candle for you the next couple of evenings but I will again on Sunday when I get back home. I will whisper to you just like I do every night before I go to bed. Hopefully you will visit Mom in my dreams tonight when I fall asleep. 
 Last night I spoke to Grandpa briefly. He is doing good. Him and Debbie have been pretty busy this week. They have gotten a lot done that they needed to do so it has been quite productive. Aunt Shirley was telling Mom that Grammy is failing fast now. Grandpa said that she sleeps all the time and when she is awake she basically just stares at you with no communication. Mom is sadden by this news. I really don't think it will be long at all now. Mom is hoping to go see her when we are up there but I don't think it is going to happen. I somehow am going to try though...even if it is just for 1 hour. Nothing else is new at all. I will continue to write what our family is doing and going through as I get the updates. 
 Mom needs to get going because Mark has to get off this call so we can get going. he said 15 minutes about 25 minutes ago. We need to beat the traffic so..... I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Have fun tonight while Mom sleeps and may you get to do all kinds of things that are needed of you and things you want to do as well. Until tomorrow comes..... good night and sweet dreams my sweet precious son.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer:

They will be my people, and I will be their God. I will give them singleness of heart and action, so that they will always fear me and that all will then go well for them and for their children after them. Jeremiah 32:38–39, NIV

Lord our God, you want to be our God and you want us to be your people. Give us the inner integrity and the power to discern and reject what does not come from the heart, so that everything may be genuine among us. Then no lies and deception will creep in, and honesty and goodness will flow from our hearts to the glory of truth, to the glory of the gospel and the great hope you give us through the gospel. Guard our hearts. Protect the good that is planted in them, that it may grow and thrive and bear fruit. Amen.
