Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday early evening? Mom is doing okay. I have been so busy all day today. I was up at 7 am and I didn't even linger in bed this morning. I got up and I immediately started on  taking everything off the bookshelves, dusting them, sanding the bookshelves down and painting them and the individual shelving. I did one and then took a short break and then I did the second one. Mom was completely finished by 3 pm. I was pretty much covered in black paint....lol. I had it all over my hands, arms, legs, feet, hair and face. The shelves have to dry for 6-8 hours so Mom is going to leave them out on the balcony tonight so they can really dry and tomorrow morning I will bring them in and put everything back on them. They were pretty tough to paint so Mom is hoping that they actually came out okay! Guess we shall see tomorrow and I will let you know on your letter tomorrow as well. Mark worked all day but I was outside for most of it and then in to take a shower and get cleaned up. Now I am writing this and after I will have to get dinner going because it is already 4:47 pm. Today just flew by. 
 Last night, Grandpa and Meme called to let me know they arrived safely home. Mom was so tired that I did absolutely nothing. I watched TV until 9 pm and then I was out like a light Mark said. He said I was snoring and I don't doubt it.....lol! Mom slept for 9 hours. 7 of them were restful sleep and 2 were light sleep. That was the best sleep I have had in over 4 months! I woke up and had lots of energy that is for sure but now I am tired because of all the stuff I have done today!  I guess Mark stayed up for a while last night. Mom did not hear a thing! Tonight will be another relaxing night watching TV and then going to bed early again. Mark has to work again, Mom wants to get all that stuff put away and then I will be studying all day long as well. Mom is hoping to get this course done with so that starting next week I can move on to a new one. 
 Meme called this afternoon. She was telling me that Skittles has to go to the vets to be checked out. He was doing so good yesterday when they were here and I guess through the night and all today he is back to not eating, not drinking, won't move at all. I really hope that he will be okay. I would hate for something to happen to him because of Ozzy. Mom would be devastated and so would Meme. She said that she would keep me posted on everything. Mom's fingers are crossed and prayers are being said. If there is anything that you can do that would be very much appreciated from us my sweet precious son. Thank you! Not much else for updates today I am afraid. Phones have been quiet and we all have been busy. Mom is not hardly on social media anymore either which feels great! I really don't miss it either. No one chats with me anyways or calls me so I guess I have gotten used to it. It is lonely but I am dealing with it. Grandpa and Debbie were saying that Great Grammy is not doing good. She is failing faster every day. Mom doesn't think it will be long now. She is going to be with you and all her family and friends real soon. I will keep you posted though on everything with her and all our family when I know of things. 
 Mom is going to have to get going for now though because I have to make dinner and feed the pups as Mark is still working. I will be back tomorrow though with another letter to you. I hope tonight you will have the chance to come visit Mom in my dreams so we can visit. That always makes me smile when you do. May you have fun tonight while I sleep. Hope that you get to do lots of neat and new things. Continue to fly high and free. Please continue to watch over us as well. I miss you and love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are forever my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever in my heart, mind, body and soul. I will whisper to you later tonight so smile when you hear Mom and I will smile back to you. Until tomorrow comes.... good night and sweet dreams my bright shining star.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer:

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Ephesians 3:14–17a, NIV

Lord our God, you are our Father, and we human beings know that our innermost hearts belong to you. Hold us firmly through your Spirit, we pray, so that we do not live on the level of our lower natures but remain true to the calling you have given us, the high calling to what is eternal. May all our experiences work in us for good, bringing us the joyful certainty that you rule us with your Spirit, that you further the good everywhere in the world and make more and more people sensitive to what is good, right, and perfect. Amen.
