Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday late afternoon? Mom is doing alright. I actually got a descent nights sleep last night which was much needed. My tracker said 6 hours of restful and 2 hours of light sleep. I will take it. The weather today was sunny again and no wind but the temps were below freezing. It was only 28 degrees for a high and tomorrow will be the same way but the temps will be warmer at a balmy 34 degrees. I don't mind the cold. The sun shines and it feels a little warmer when there is no wind involved. Mom was up early this morning feeding the pups and then I went back to bed to relax for a bit. I got up at 9:30 am and then made the bed, got ready, made breakfast, did the dishes and came right in to study. I studied all day long working on my final exam in this course. I got my exam grades from the 2 I submitted on Monday. Both were 100%. My grade right now is a 95~A+. Mom is happy. I know no matter the grade that I get on my final I will pass the course and can move forward! I am super happy with that. I think I should be able to finish up the final tomorrow and submit it. I should be able to also start my new class as well. Mark will be gone super early tomorrow morning until late in the day so it will be quiet for me to get a lot done. Hopefully the pups will cooperated. I know Ozzy will but Princess is a different story. We shall see. Please be with Mom in the morning and watch over us all. Watch over Mark too when he is on the road to and from the client site. Thank you my sweet precious son. 
 Last night Mom spoke to Grandpa. We chatted for over an hour. He was telling me that the plaque that I designed for Great Grammy was put in last weekend when they were all here. He went down and saw it and he said that I should be proud of it because it was beautiful. He knows that Great Grammy is smiling down on us all too. I sure hope she is happy with what I designed. It was with butterflies and the words" Amazing Grace." I will be going to see it when I am there in NH in a couple weeks for Christmas. I will take pictures of it and post one on here. I am proud that I could do that for her and I am happy that Grandpa and Aunt Shirley like it too. everything else is going okay. Grandpa will be having his knee looked at though. His appointment is on 12/31. I guess the knee that got really banged up in our accident is really bothering him these days. They want to make sure that nothing is really wrong with it so he will have xrays done and maybe a CT scan as well. The doctors think it is arthritis though. Debbie is good and we found out that she is not working on Christmas so we can all celebrate it together. That made us all happy. I also got to speak to Auntie Donna. It has been over 7 months since we spoke. She is really a mess. Things are just crashing down on her and her family all at once. Her 2 cats are very ill as well. Her niece is having marital problems and other problems, her nephew is causing the problems, her sister, their mother is a mess with it all, her brother lost his job and her dad is ill as well. Everyone still goes to her for help and she is just overwhelmed. I just listened to her and tried to be encouraging as best I could. I will touch base with her next week. Meme and Bob are ok. Mom saw first hand how much Bob is sleeping. When they were here he would fall asleep just sitting and watching tv or even when you were talking to him. His meds are clearly not working. I understand why Meme is frustrated with him but it still is not his fault. I am not sure what I can do to help out but I will continue to try. Please watch over them all for Mom. I know you do but I still like to ask. I will touch base with Aunt Beck either tomorrow or Friday to just check in. That is all the updates I have for you today. 
 It is already going on 4:45 pm and Mom needs to get going soon so that I can feed the pups and also so I can make dinner for us. Tonight will be an early night because Mark has to get up at 4 am to get on the road. Mom will be dragging butt tomorrow but I will be back to write you another letter. I will light the candle in a bit and I will whisper to you when I go to bed tonight. Have fun while I sleep and come visit if you can. If not sit by me while I sleep. Thank you my sweet precious son. I miss you so much and I love you beyond words. To the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you are in my heart, mind, body and soul. 
 Mom was telling you yesterday about the stats on here so I thought that I would tell you the exact ones: after today there will be 7,193 posts of pictures, poems and letters to you, roughly 225 followers visit each day, last month there was 1,216 visits, and overall in 5 1/2 years there have been 55,891 visits to Mom's blog from all over the world including the United States, Portugal, France, Ukraine, Germany, Italy, Poland, Russia, Belgium and Canada. Mom is so thankful to all that continue to follow me on here. Thank you and blessings to each and every one of you. 
 Mom has to go pumpkin but I will be back tomorrow so smile tonight when you hear me and I will smile back to you. Until then....good night and sweet dreams my bright shining star.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of all the kingdoms under heaven will be handed over to the holy people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him. Daniel 7:27, NIV

Lord our God, dear Father, you have made yourself known on earth so that we may love you and be loved by you. Give us your Spirit, we pray. Give us your Spirit to strengthen us in the life and work you offer us. Watch over us on all our ways. Wherever your children are sighing and calling for you, protect and guide them with your mighty hand. Let your kingdom spread over the whole world, over all people, over all races and nations, that we may become united as servants of Jesus Christ to your honor. Amen.
