Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Wednesday evening? That is right... Mom is far behind again tonight with everything. It is already going on 5:30 pm and I just got done studying for the day. The pups have been fed and Mom is in the process of getting dinner together for Mark and I. He actually is not home yet from his day at the office for his class. He will have a full day tomorrow as well...same as today I believe. Long days for him for sure but he can relax on Friday as he will be home. Mom was up early and lounged in bed for a few hours this morning. Poor Ozzy, he was sick this morning and didn't feel good at all. Mom stayed in bed so that he was close by. I got up a couple hours later, got ready, did somethings around the apartment and then hit the books. The phones have been pretty quiet as well today. They rang a couple times but that is it and they were from scammers. We get a lot of them these days but I actually went in the phone and blocked the numbers so that when they call again it will give them a busy signal. We also get a lot of calls for the lady who used to have this number but they have gone down quite a bit since the first 3 years. Meme called last night to check in to see how we were doing. That was nice. Things are good on their end it seems. That was also nice to hear! we said that we would touch base again over the weekend. Mom will call Grandpa and Debbie tonight to see how she made out at her doctors visit today. I will let you know what happened and if she can go back to work in 2 weeks or 4 weeks. Not much else is going on though. The apartment is looking barer every day and it is so funny to see. We are basically living out of a couple boxes so it feels like camping in a way to me just that we have our bed and the showers...lol. It definitely brings me back to the days in Oklahoma and Texas when we barely had anything and we lived like that until we got our belongings from NH which took 8 months to get. Life is an adventure and at times it is lessons to be learned. Mom is taking it all in and we are doing okay with it. Next week is the big move date. The weather is looking good for that day! Sunny, no rain and 58 degrees. Please help us out and have it stay that way. Thank you my sweet precious son. Tonight will be all about eating dinner alone, doing the dishes that I used and then watching TV until Mark gets home. I am sure we will visit for a bit and then it will be time to go to bed. Mom sure hopes that your evening is filled with things that you need to do and want to do. Have fun while I sleep and come visit me if you can or sit by me so that I can get some rest. Mom will be back tomorrow evening with another letter to you. I have had the candles burning again all day for you and I will be sure to whisper to you as I always do every night before I go to bed. I miss you so much and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are forever in my heart, mind, body and soul. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Mom needs to get going now so that I can make dinner seeings how it is 5:45 pm. Continue to fly high and free in the heavens above and I will smile tonight for you. Smile back for Mom. Until tomorrow comes.... good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is today's prayer:

The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Romans 13:12, NIV

Father in heaven, we thank you for giving us light. We thank you for the great hope for a day whose light is not of our making, whose source is in you, a day to come that can touch our lives already today. Keep our hearts steadfast, free of all human wavering. May we always hold to the love you have given through your grace, and may we find joy in your love, which is full of light and understanding. Amen.
