Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is doing alright I suppose. The sun is shining bright and the skies are blue so there really shouldn't be anything to complain about at all but Mom can't help but just feel blah. Today was the first day that Mark had off from work and he stayed in bed until 10 am and then took a call for work, got ready and then left the apartment and washed and vacuumed his SUV, came back and hopped right on to his work email, took a call from his brother and now who knows what he is doing. We were suppose to go out and enjoy the day but I guess he either forgot or he didn't want to. Either way it speaks volumes again! His call that he had this morning stated that he has to go back to NY next week for a couple days again. Mom thinks it is BS but I am keeping it all to myself and not saying anything. Guess the Texas trip for work is not happening as it did not get approved by his work. He is angry at that and he didn't say anything to me but I overheard him venting to his brother about it. The way I see it is that it was not meant to be for him. He was not suppose to go. Everything happens for a reason. Don't question it as I have learned from experiences. You just need to trust God in why he did it. I am sure that the rest of his days off this week will be a bust as well now because he will be that angry and he will not want to do anything. Mom is just going to stay quiet and just do her studying. I actually tried to today but something went wrong and I had to open a ticket to the college to let them know that I could not get into my new class. Guess I will try again tomorrow. It is already 2:30 pm. Mom will finish this letter to you and then I will have to do some cleaning. I have dusting, mopping and vacuuming to do all before it is time to feed the pups and get dinner going for tonight. 
 Last night was quiet. Grandpa called while I was in the middle of something and by the time it was done it was really too late to call him back so I will do so this evening. I never heard anything from Bean when I texted her on Monday. Oh well. Meme called yesterday afternoon. All is pretty good there. Spoke to Auntie Kristina today for a bit. Her Dad went in for a pacemaker yesterday. He is in the Keene Hospital right now. Ryan went and sat with Alice (his Grandma) while the surgery was being done. Guess Jim is doing okay right now and they hope he can go home tomorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with them all. They are such wonderful people. I remember that you loved Auntie Kristina's Dad and Mom. They loved you too. 
 Not much else is going on here. It is pretty quiet as it usually always is. Tonight will be the same way. Mom will light your candle later and I will whisper to you as I always do each night. Smile when you hear Mom and I will smile right back to you. Mom will update on things when I get some. Maybe in a day or two. I miss you so much my sweet precious son. I love you even more. 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. I sure hope that your evening will be filled with all the things you need to do and things you want to do as well. If you can come sit with Mom or visit me in my dreams again. Thank you pumpkin! I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you but for now I need to do that dang cleaning or it will never get done....lol. Until tomorrow my bright shining star....good night and sweet dreams later tonight.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God. Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. 2 Corinthians 1:20-22, NIV

Lord our God, from whom great promises are given for all humankind and especially for your people, we gather in your presence. We rejoice before you, for your promise is sure and your works will be revealed to the glory of your name. Grant us steadfast faith in the grace of Jesus Christ. Grant us faith to hold firm, and in spite of all evil to trust that you are ruling and will set everything right. Lord our God, our Father, we cry to you. As the deer pants for refreshing water, so in our time our souls cry out to you, “Our Father in heaven, may your name be honored. May your kingdom come. May your will be done on earth as in heaven.” Amen.
