Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Mom has been a busy gal today! The weather has been better than what they stated it would be. I wasn't to sure this morning though because when I got up it was raining and the wind was going crazy. Seems like each hour it has gotten better and the clouds have parted and the skies are blue again. The rain has stopped and the snow is melting a lot now. The temp outside is 60 degrees and Mom has had the balcony door opened all day so far. What a nice change and it makes me pretty happy! 
 Mom set herself a "to do list" today and I am happy to say that I completed the entire thing and more! Mark was suppose to be gone today to a customer site but last night he received an email that stated that the customer canceled and not to go there so he is working from home today. That was a nice surprise. Mom got up early, fed the pups, lounged in bed for about an hour and then I gave both pups baths, did the laundry, dusted, mopped, made something to eat, did those dishes, vacuumed, cleaned the bathrooms and after all that was done I came into my office and I needed to complete my CEU form and list all the webinars that I watched and the instructors's names and dates, etc... Got that all done and I managed to figure out how to send that form and 2 others to the woman I needed to. I just got it all done and it is 3:10 pm. I think I did quite a bit and I have been very productive! It feels great when I have days like this. I feel good. Mark is still busy working and having conference calls so Mom decided to write to you a bit early so that I can get ready after. 
 Last night was a very quiet night again. I was surprised as I have not heard from Meme or Grandpa at all this week. Maybe it is because they will be here tomorrow morning but I am not sure. I will call them both this evening to just check in. Mark and Mom had dinner and then he played his game for a bit while I watched TV. We decided to play a game of Chess again... he called it a redemption game from me winning twice the other night. He was right because he won the first game and we started a second game but didn't finish it. Mom kind of sucked last night...lol Mark and Mom decided last night that we would have a date night tonight. We will be having dinner and then we have a show that we both really like to watch that is on and then after that Mom may relax by taking a bubble bath seeings how I did not take one last night. Mom wants to go to bed early tonight and get a good nights sleep because everyone will be here by 9:30 am tomorrow. I think I will have to write you a short letter either in the morning before they all get here or at night when everyone is going to bed. Mom is hoping to do one in the morning because sometimes when they are here I am so tired that I crash when it is time to go to bed...lol. Mom plans on getting everything ready and set tonight and then feed the pups in the morning, take a shower and be ready by 8 :30 am so I should have plenty of time to write to you while the muffins are baking in the oven. 
 Mom has had your candle lit for the last couple of hours and it will burn until I go to bed tonight. I sure hope that you have a chance to come sit beside me or visit me in my dreams tonight while I get so sleep. Have fun doing all the things that you need to do and want to do my sweet precious son. I miss you every second of every minute of every day. It never gets easier that is for sure. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. You will forever live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Thank you for everything you do for Mom and the rest of our family. I know you are busy and you still do all this. It means so much to me. Continue to light the way for Mom to what I need to be doing. I will be back tomorrow so until then...good night and sweet dreams later this evening.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Hebrews 13:20-21, NIV

Lord our God, through the Spirit grant us community with you, we pray. Help us onward again and again, and help us grow in strength to follow what is true and good. May your goodness and your grace be in our hearts to help us in all practical things. Grant that wherever we live we may have something of the power in which Jesus Christ lived and suffered, in which he died and yet lives again. May the world still learn that it has a redeemer and that it belongs to him, to the glory of your name. Amen.
