Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday evening? Mom is doing alright. It has been quite the day here that is for sure. This morning at 6:30 am we lost power for about 3 hours and I don't know what was going on but there were 4 fire trucks in the complex. Mom got up and fed the pups and then went back to bed to stay warm because I didn't really know how long the power would be out. Mark was still asleep and the pups went back to bed as well. I fell back to sleep at some point because we all woke up at 10 am. That never happens at all. I got up and started doing all the things I wanted to do today. I rearranged the stuff in the cabinets in the bathroom, cleaned my office and then rearranged that which took me quite some time, then I dusted, cleaned both bathrooms, mopped the floors and then vacuumed. It is now 5:21 pm and Mom is exhausted and my back is hurting me a little bit. I wanted to make stuffed peppers for dinner but I chose not too. We are having pizza tonight and I will do the stuffed peppers tomorrow night instead. Mark was busy as well. He actually studied for a certification today after he watched a 3 hour video. He passed with flying colors. After that he was able to have a skype call with his brother, Gary and also with his brother Terry, his wife and their kids. They chatted for about 30 minutes or more and then Gary's phone  crapped out and needed charging. Mom didn't get a chance to meet them on the call because I was cleaning but also I was getting ready. I was bummed but I am hoping that I will get a chance the next time. Mark was happy with the call and that is awesome! I think we have a skype call with Tubal and Karen this evening but I am not sure. That will be at 7 pm if we do. The rest of the night will be definitely relaxing and then I will call Grandpa to say hello! Meme called me this afternoon. She said that Aunt Beck called her. she gave her the good news that Bean got the job that she wanted at St. Catherine's Hospital. Mom is very happy for her. Both Aunt Beck and Bean have said that they have been able to feel you around them a lot lately. That doesn't surprise Mom at all. Please be around Mom and the rest of us as well if you can. Thank you my sweet precious son. 
 Not much really has been going on at all this weekend. It was a nice one though despite the weather today. It started out clear and dry, then it went to snow, ice, sleet and then rain. Now I think it has all stopped but boy is it ever foggy. Looks like a wee bit of the snow melted which is nice to see! I hope a lot more melts during the week. It is suppose to be sunny and cloudy for the most part and anywhere from 45-60 degrees. Something should melt or maybe that is Mom just really hoping...lol. Tomorrow is already Monday.... that means more webinars for Mom to watch for her CEUs and Mark will be busy all week again. I can't believe that Mark will be leaving for several days in less than 3 weeks. Mom knows he really wants to do this and it is good for him but I am just really bummed out. I wish I was going with him but I can't. I am crossing my fingers that those several days go by really fast. I know you will be watching over him as he travels to and from and also you will be with Mom. I will do all kinds of stuff to stay busy that is for sure. 
 Mom is hoping that your evening will be everything that you want and need it to be. May you have the chance to visit Mom in my dreams tonight. I have already lit your candle a few hours ago and I will continue to until it is time to go to bed tonight. I will whisper to you later as well so be listening for Mom's voice and smile when you hear me and I will smile to you as well. I miss you so much and 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 live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Thank you for being my bright shining star that lights the path for me here in the physical world. It means so much to me. I hope that you continue as well. Mom is sorry but I need to close this letter to you tonight so that I can get dinner finished for Mark and I. Pups have been fed already so that is good. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you though so until then....good night and sweet dreams pumpkin.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

My word is like the snow and the rain that come down from the sky to water the earth. They make the crops grow and provide seed for planting and food to eat. So also will be the word that I speak – it will not fail to do what I plan for it; it will do everything I send it to do. Isaiah 55:10–11, TEV

Lord our God, light of the world and light of our human life, we thank you for sending your Word into our hearts. Your Word works within us and allows us to rejoice. Even if we often experience hard and bitter times here on earth, we can rejoice already, as the world shall rejoice when your will and your Word are fulfilled. Protect us, and keep us pure and free in spirit, that we may be your servants, that we may sometimes be allowed to say a little word in harmony with the great, powerful Word which you have sent into the world. Amen.
