Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet precious son! How are you doing on this cold and rainy Friday evening? Mom is so sorry about the very short letter to you last night but it was quite the day. I will explain it to you in a bit. Today has been another busy and crazy day for us. Let me explain to you the day we had yesterday.... Mark and Mom were up early, got ready and heading out to run errands. We had to go to the pet store and then head out to get groceries. After that we looked in a couple other stores before heading home. We were gone for about 3 hours or so. The weather was so sunny and beautiful so it was super nice to be outside! We got home and Mom was so dehydrated and sick because I haven't eaten anything at all so I put everything away and we had an early dinner. Mom did the dishes and cleaned up while Mark was on the phone. Mom also had made a few phone calls in regards to a few things and I was so light headed and dizzy I needed to just close my eyes. As I was getting ready to turn my computer off I saw a message from Karen ( Mark's Step Mom) and I responded. It was 7 pm and we skyped for about 75 minutes. They are having issues with their work stuff and has asked Mark to go to Ohio to do some trouble shooting. Mark of course accepted and instead of going to Texas on the 7th of April for a week, he will be going to Ohio for 4/5 days and Mom and the pups get to go as well. I am super excited to see them again because it has been almost 5 years. We will leave on a Sunday and be back on Thursday or Friday. Mom will fill you in more as I know all the details. Anyways.... after that call it was 8:15 pm. Mom was still feeling terrible so I crawled into bed and watched tv while Mark played his game until 10 pm. Mom did not sleep at all last night. Too much was going through my head. It was crazy but I was up at 8 am and ready by 10:30 am so that we could head out and get to where we needed to go. We did not expect to be at this place all day. We got there at 11:30 and and never left until 3 pm. We got stuck in rush hour traffic and 20 miles took us 1 hour and 45 minutes to get home. Mom is feeling the same way as yesterday because neither Mark or Mom had anything to eat and nothing to drink. Mom is cooking dinner now and pounding the water. All is okay though but boy am I exhausted! Mom will be relaxing this evening and I will be going to bed early for sure! I wanted to write to you to let you know what happened. These last couple of days have been super busy and just flat out crazy for us but this weekend will be quieter as we are going no where at all! Monday will be back to work for Mark and school for me. Mom is waiting for the college to release my next class. I guess I will have to call them to see what is going on. I am still learning the new website and I am still unsure of how things work but I will get there! I spoke to Meme and Grandpa and all is well. Never heard from Bean and I have to touch base with Aunt Beck still. I will either over the weekend or next week as I know they are headed out the middle of April to go on a month vacation. I will update you as I know of things. Mom needs to get going now though so that I can finish dinner and get some food in both Mark and I. I will light your candle tonight and whisper to you later this evening. I miss you like crazy and I love you with all my heart and soul. To the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then....have fun while I get some much needed sleep. Please continue to watch over us and come visit Mom in my dreams if you can. Thank you! Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” Psalm 91:14-16, NIV

Lord our God, dear Father in heaven, we turn our hearts to you, for you know all our need. We turn to you, for you are ready with your help when we are at our wit’s end. You have paths we can follow joyfully because we have a Lord who rules and who reigns over us to make us glad. May we praise your name at all times. May your help be always before our eyes so that we can be your true children, to the glory of your name on earth. Amen.
