Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is not going to lie... I am plum tuckered out right now so that is why I am going to write to you quickly so that I can get off this computer and go relax for a bit before Mom has to do the night routine stuff. The weather today is surprisingly better then what they said it would be. It was suppose to be rainy and windy and nasty out there but it is sunny with blue skies and puffy white clouds right now. I guess we are suppose to get 30 mph winds later this evening. Last night was going really well for Mom with the pups. Princess ate for Mom, she took her vitamins and she didn't really bark at all. She was just sad and depressed because she misses Mark. I decided to call it a night around 11 pm. That is where everything turned for the worst. She show her *ss all night long. She scratched  everything that she could find, she paced back and forth, she wouldn't sleep on the bed no matter how many times I tried to keep her on it. She didn't bark but she just would not let Mom sleep at all. I got to bed around 3 am and up at 7 am again to feed them. Mark did not have a good time either. I heard from him around 1 am. He was at the cutover from 6 pm to 1:30 am and it did not work. He was up for almost 24 hours and had 2 hours of sleep. He had to go back to the client today for a bit and he has been on the road since 1 pm. He should be home around 5 or 6 pm tonight. I sure hope he is careful because he is just so tired. I worry...you know Mom. I guess the client will revisit it again in about a month as they said they need a break. Doesn't look like Mark will have to go back there again though but if he does than it will be just like this time and the last... gone for 2 days/1 night. Guess time will tell on that one. Tonight will be a very early night for us all. The only one who has gotten any sleep is Ozzy. Nothing changed for him. He slept all night long. Princess is finally sleeping now. They are laying on my rug in the office. Maintenance stopped by earlier. They did all the work that was needed for Mom. They were here for about 2 hours and the whole time the pups barked. Mom has a splitting headache now. I was proud of myself as well because I did some studying today. I surprised myself but in a good way. Looks like I will be taking another exam on Friday. That will be awesome! I am 18% done with this program and I am liking it so far! It is fun for Mom. I will hopefully do some studying tomorrow as well but that will depend on when we get back from the car dealership. That's right I get my new vehicle tomorrow morning. I am all ready. The other one is all cleaned out and ready to be traded. I am excited. The phones have been quiet today and also were last night. No one called. It was lonely but Mom did just fine. As tired as I am I still managed to do the cleaning on the floors and laundry. The maintenance man, Sammy said that this apartment is always so clean and not lived in. He said it looks like a magazine. Mom will take that as a nice compliment. Mom needs to start a new candle for you tonight. It is a Spring scent called Peach Bellini. Hopefully it smells good. I will whisper to you like I do every night later on. I sure hope you smile when you hear Mom's voice and I always smile to you so I hope you see me. I miss you like crazy and 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. Forever you live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you but for now I really need to get off this computer and go relax. My eyes are heavy and I think I will take a quick nap. Have fun tonight while I sleep and come visit Mom in my dreams tonight if you can. Thank you my sweet precious son. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams later.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer of the day:

In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it. Many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” Isaiah 2:2-3a, NIV

Dear Father in heaven, we thank you that we have you and the light of your Spirit, which always gives us new determination for the tasks you ask of us. We thank you that we may live not just in the passing moment but also in eternity, looking with joyful hope to the future meant for us and for all humankind. Keep us in your Spirit, and open to us truth after truth. May we be part of that people who carry a light within them, a light which will show them the way through all the struggles and temptations of life; then each one of us will know day by day that you can help us and everyone on earth to a better life through your Holy Spirit. Amen.
