Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Friday morning? It is 11:50 am and the sun is shining and the skies are blue. It is what we would call a very Fall day indeed. Mom is doing okay. I wanted to write to you now because once I start my studying it will be an all day thing and I know I will lose track of time and then be late for making dinner, etc... Mom is also going to shut her computer down after I write because with the things I have to do for school, I don't need my computer right off. I just need a pen and notebook so I am going to sit on the couch and do my work. Mom is in a bit of pain today as well. My neck and shoulder again is bothering me. I think I slept wrong again because it didn't hurt until this morning. The hot water in the shower really didn't even work this time. I need to relax as much as possible as well today because Saturday and Sunday will be very busy days with packing the rest of our stuff for the move next week. At this time next week we will have most of our belongings in the new place and nothing left here. I told the moving company that the men better eat their Wheaties (it's a cereal that Mom ate growing up!) that morning because they will be earning their money that day with going up and down the stairs countless times. Some of our things are really heavy too. Mom will be making sure that the guys that are moving our stuff will have coffee, water, doughnuts etc.... that will be the least we can do for them. 
 Not much happened last night. Mark got home and we have dinner, I did the dishes, he chatted with his brother for a bit and then we watched a bit of TV. Mom called Grandpa and Debbie and I ended up chatting with Debbie because Grandpa was at a meeting and wouldn't be home until later. She was telling me that all went well with her doctor's visit and she is cleared to return to work in 2 weeks. November 1st will be her first day back. She has lifting restrictions but that is it. Overall great news! Everything else is good their way. Grandpa is getting into a few "groups" now and Mom thinks that is great. When he completely retires at the end of next month he will have things to keep himself busy. I am happy for him. Debbie can retire next year so then they will be able to do all kinds of things at that point. I wish Meme would retire too but I don't see that happening any time soon. Mom thinks that she wants to because he job is very stressful on her but she doesn't because she would go crazy staying at home. It is a no win situation with that. Maybe something will come up in the near future. 
 Mark is at a client site all day today. He left early this morning and will be there until 5 pm. He won't get home much before 7 or 8 pm tonight so it will be dinner for one and lots of watching my TV shows that I have recorded over the past week. Tomorrow we will start packing early and then do it all over again Sunday too. sounds like fun, huh? Mom wishes that you were here! I wish you were still with us all in the physical form. I miss you so much. No words will begin to express just how much so I don't even try anymore to anyone. Some don't understand it and the only ones that do are the ones that have been going trough it like Mom. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You will forever be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. You will always remain living in my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will be lighting the candle after I am done writing so know that it is burning bright just for you my sweet precious son. Mom will whisper to you tonight before I go to bed and get ready to fall asleep. I sure hope that your evening will be all that you would like it to be. Have fun and I am sure you are super busy but if you can come visit Mom in my dreams so I know you are doing okay. Thank you. I will be back tomorrow to write to you again but not sure whether it will be in the afternoon or evening. It might not be a long letter either but it all depends when we stop packing and just how tired Mom is at that point. 
 Well Ty, it is that time where I really need to get going so that I can start my studying for the day as it is already after 12 noon...lol. Until tomorrow comes... good night and sweet dreams later. I love you.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

Then the peace of God, which is beyond our utmost understanding, will keep guard over your hearts and your thoughts, in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7, NEB

O Lord God, grant us your Spirit, that we may comprehend your peace. As we pray, help us to recognize what must come from you alone, for you are mighty and holy and your will is peace on earth. Your will is peace beyond all understanding, your peace in heaven and on earth and under the earth, your peace that opposes all sin and death and takes away every evil that can be named. We await you, O Lord our God, and you will hear us. No matter how long the battle lasts, we hold out in patience, for we are your children. We shall never lose the faith that your name shall be honored and that all things shall come into harmony with your will of peace on earth, your peace. Amen.
