Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing today on this Wednesday evening? Mom is doing alright but I can't seem to want to do much of anything today at all. I just feel tired and worn down for some reason. I think I slept better than I have in the last couple of nights but maybe it wasn't solid sleep like I need. Mom is not sure but I am hoping that tonight I can get a lot of solid sleep so in the morning I can get right up and get going so I have a full day of studying and also to work on my exam. This one is really hard. It pretty much sucks! Mom is usually really confident in everything but this one not so much at all. The coding, like I have said is really hard. You get 1 character wrong and you get the whole code wrong. It is challenging for sure. Tomorrow is a new day so I will start fresh and be positive and continue to march on! 
 Last night was finally quiet in all aspects of the evening. No phone calls, no fireworks but Princess still did her shaking and panting for about an hour. This going to bed at 11 pm and not being able to fall asleep until after midnight is getting to be too much. Mom hopes for another quiet evening tonight with no calls or fireworks. My fingers are crossed in hopes that Princess is relaxed as well. Mom is cooking dinner while I am writing to you as it is 5:45 pm. Pups were fed and we will be eating in about 30 minutes or so. 
 Today has also been really quiet. Mark has been on the phone working all day and Mom studied half the day today. This morning I was up at 7 am but I didn't get out of bed until after 10 am. I was just so tired and felt like doing nothing. That can't happen tomorrow as I need to start hustling my butt in this class and get motivated to finish it so that I can graduate in October. I have 7 weeks to complete 5 classes and I am hoping I can do it! Mom thinks that with you by my side I will be able to with no problem my sweet precious son. Thank you for always being with Mom and our whole family. I miss you so much and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You will always be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you will be in my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom is hoping that your evening will be all that you want and need it to be. May you have fun tonight and hopefully you are able to come visit me in my dreams tonight. Mom will whisper to you later this evening so be listening out for my voice. Smile when you hear me and I will smile back to you. Maybe tomorrow I will have some new updates for you but honestly I have nothing for today as I have not spoken to anyone since Monday. Mom has had the candle lit again since 12 noon today. This should be the end of that one tonight and a new one started for Thursday. Mom loves burning candles. I love the smell of them and just everything about it. The sun is setting so soon now. It is dark by 7:30 pm and the sun is not coming up until 7 am. Long nights and short days. Pretty soon we will turn the clocks back and gain an hour but everything will be dark in the morning and the afternoons will be dark by 4 pm. Not looking forward to that and then winter hits us again....blah! Right now Mom will just focus on the Fall season....lol.
 I need to get going for now but I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then....good night and sweet dreams Tyler. I love you my bright shining star with all my heart.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for today:

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day – and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7–8, NIV

We thank you, Father in heaven, that you concern yourself with us and that you bind us to yourself through all your deeds and all your help. We thank you for showing us a way of hope, a way that becomes always clearer, always firmer under our feet. On this way we can defy every evil of this world and time, knowing for sure that everything will come out right and we will all be brought to the great, eternal goal, even though we have to deny ourselves and go through much suffering. Your kingdom must come to the glory of your name, so that all people may live on a higher plane and follow you, the only true help and true life. Amen.
