Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Mom is so sorry that I did not write to you yesterday but it was quite the day. Mom will tell you about it in a minute or two. Today is another day that is raining and depressing. Mom is thinking the sun is not going to shine again. Saturday was suppose to be a day of sunshine but there was none and today nothing either. Mom is not sure what is going on with the weather but it is a Fall season with lots of rain and not very many good days at all. We are 15 days into Fall/Autumn and 13 of those days have rained. Hopefully soon it will get better so we can go out and enjoy it!
 Yesterday was a day where Mom was so busy doing things. It was super crazy here. Mom told you already that we are moving so Mom decided to go room to room and see what we didn't need any longer or things that we just don't use anymore. I started at 10 am and went on until 5 pm. 7 hours of this. I stopped so that I could make dinner and then after that I did the dishes and basically could not move at all. I was so tired and sore. Mark put some muscle rub on my back and shoulder which helped but boy I am feeling it again today. Mom and Mark got rid of so much stuff but doesn't even look like we put a dent in things as we still have so much stuff...lol! We purged 25 garbage bags full of stuff. Each of those bags were 33 gallon. Yup... that is a lot of stuff! There was a moment that I found some things that you gave Mom or things that you wrote to me and I had a good cry. Guess I needed it at that moment. Mom misses you so much and beyond any words that I can express. Mom is happy with all that I got rid of. It was finally necessary to let go of things that I am not using, etc.... We have boxes coming on Wednesday so the real packing will start next weekend. Mom may even start during the week as well so that I can do it correctly and not overwhelm myself with it as Mark is working. Next week he is at the office most of the week so he won't be able to help me out. I think I will study half days and then write to you and the other half will be packing things up for a couple hours a day. The worst is going to be my office because of all the little things and then the dining room with all the glass. Those will be saved for last though....lol. This morning, Mom and Mark lounged in bed for some time and then got up and finished up the 2 closets that needed going through. After that Mark took everything to the dump and then Mom made a brunch, cleaned up, got ready and then we watched TV for a bit. Now Mom is writing to you and I have laundry to do before getting dinner going for the night. Later will be just relaxing as I am super tired. I really thought that I would sleep well the last couple of nights but I haven't so I really need so much needed sleep tonight. Hope you can help me out with that my sweet precious son. Thank you. Mom has absolutely no updates for you at all today as I have not spoken to anyone all weekend. The phones have been super quiet. Hope I will have some for you later in the week. I will touch base with everyone when I can. They all know that things will be super busy for the next month or so with the move, packing and unpacking, etc.... Mom will keep you in the loop of everything even though you can see it all for yourself. I know you will be with me through it all so that everything goes smoothly. Mom is hoping for really good weather that weekend with no rain, especially that Friday when it is moving day for us. 
 I love you so much. To the moon and back and all the way around the world. To infinity and beyond. You will always be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you will remain living in my heart, mind, body and soul. Give everyone big hugs and kisses from me please. I miss them all as well. Mom will whisper to you tonight so smile for me and I will smile back. I have a candle burning right now for you and a new one needs to be started either tonight or tomorrow. Mom hopes that your night will be everything that you want and need it to be. Come visit or sit beside me when I am sleeping. Thanks pumpkin. I will be back again tomorrow with another letter so until then.... good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer:

I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me – just as the Father knows me and I know the Father – and I lay down my life for the sheep. John 10:14–15, NIV

Dear Father in heaven, we thank you that your voice reaches our hearts and that we can say with joy, "We belong to you. We too are yours." We want to lead lives that show we belong to you, never allowing ourselves to be sidetracked, never again giving way to pettiness, always drawing strength from the power of Jesus Christ. Protect our household. Watch over each of us. Protect us all on our way. O mighty God, be with us in the many dangers that surround us, and grant that we may always be joyful because our names are recorded in heaven. Amen.
