Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is doing okay. I am sorry that I did not write to you last night but the day was crazy here. We got on the road from NY and we got to Ohio at 2 pm. The ride was good but long. The sun was shining and the temp was in the 60's. We got to the Gallery to see Tubal and Karen and we spent the day here. We left at 6:30 pm last night and got to the house, got settled and Mark went out with his Dad and his half brother, Bill for a bit. They got back around 9 pm. We chatted until about 11 pm and Mom decided it was time to go to bed. Everything was good for a bit but then Mom's tummy started to act up. I was awake for a bit but then I did fall asleep for about 4 hours. I was awake at 6 am. We fed the pups, visited for a bit and then Mom got ready while Mark was working and then he got ready and we left. Right now we are at the Gallery again. Karen is working, Mark is working on things for them and Mom is actually studying. I took a break to have lunch and write to you while I had the chance. Tonight, we will go back to the house and visit and then go to bed and do it all over again tomorrow. Friday we are back on the road to start the 1st leg of our trip back home. We should be back by Saturday afternoon. I am not sure if we will do half the trip and then stop or if we will try to do more. It depends on the weather and how we feel. Mom will keep you posted. 
 I have not had the chance to chat with Meme or Grandpa since Monday evening. I guess everything is going well. I will try to call them this evening though just to check in. I did text Aunt Beck. Her and John are starting out early tomorrow to get on the road to Arizona and then California. They will be gone for 5 weeks. I told her to be safe and we would chat when we could and if not while she was gone then when she got back. Bean emailed me finally. She is doing good in her new job and she loves it. Mom is happy to hear this. Today is Megan's birthday. I wished her a happy day. She was saying that she was in the car and heard a certain song that she always thinks of you when she hears it and she messaged me to let me know that she knew you were around and with it. That really made Mom smile. Great job, Ty! That makes Mom smile so big! I miss you so much and I enjoy hearing stories of what others tell me. You are missed more than you may or may not know. 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 can't light your candle as I am still away but I will start again when I get back home. I will whisper to you as I always do every night. Smile when you hear Mom and I will smile back to you. I will write to you again tomorrow but for now I have to go back to studying. Have fun tonight while Mom gets some much needed sleep. Come visit me in my dreams or sit with me. Thank you pumpkin. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone. If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. Romans 14:7-9, NIV

Lord God, unite us with Jesus Christ, the risen and living One. Unite us so that our lives are completely submerged in your will through Jesus Christ. Tear us loose from all that tries to bind us to earth. Make us free people who always lift their heads and look up because their redemption is approaching. Almighty God, we trust in you, however difficult the times may be. Remember all peoples, for it is your will to gather them into your kingdom. You, O God, are our refuge and our help. In you we trust until the end. Amen.
