Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Saturday afternoon? Mom wishes that I could say that I am doing well but I am not really. I am sorry that I did not write to you yesterday but there was a lot going on and I never turned on my computer. The other day (Thursday) Mom did something to her arm. I can't even really use it at all as it hurts so bad. Mark says that I pulled muscles in my shoulder, bicep and tricep and I sure do believe him. It is so hard for Mom to do anything with her right hand and I can do nothing with my arm. I try and it hurts so bad that I just want to cry. I am doing everything pretty much left handed or I am doing nothing at all. I wanted to write to you to tell you what was going on so that you didn't think I was just not writing to you. Mom felt so guilty but all I did yesterday was watch movies and lay on the couch. I was so bored but I know that it has to be this way for a few days so that my arm heals up. Sleeping is tough for me. Yesterday, Mark had to leave at 4 am again because on Thursday night he received an email at 8 pm saying that the customer wanted to give it a go for the 4th time. Mark had no warning or nothing. We were all up at 4 am and Princess would not stop whining so that meant Mom was awake that whole time as well. I went to bed at 9:30 pm. It is already 3 pm and Mom was able to dust and vacuum with her left hand and then pay some bills online that needed to be paid. Mom is going to crash on the couch after for the rest of the day and evening. The weather is not that great at all either. It is raining heavy at times and the winds are between 30-40 mph. It is suppose to be that way until tonight around 8 pm. Mom doesn't have any updates for you at all but I will let you know when I do have some. I will write to you every night but it will be a short letter until my arm heals because it is pretty tough to type. I am so sorry pumpkin. I sure hope that your evening is everything that you need and want it to be tonight. Have fun while Mom tries to sleep. Hope you can visit me in my dreams too. I miss you so much and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my super hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever in my heart, mind, body and soul. I will be back tomorrow so until then.... my sweet precious son...good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:5, NIV

Lord our God, rule over us in strength, and grant us your light. Let your Spirit be with us to confirm what has already taken place in our hearts, so that we have joy and trust even under all the strain and stress of this life. Shine into the darkness of the world. Shine for all people. May we be shown more and more clearly what we have been created for. Strengthen our faith for the future, our faith in everything good, for however hidden the good may be, it must at last come to the light. May we and all the world bring praise and honor to you. Amen.
