Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom has been very busy all day long. I was up at 6:30 am and got the pups fed and I didn't even go back to bed this morning to relax. I got up, folded laundry, got ready and Mom was out the door at 9:45 am. I decided to go shopping before getting my nails done. I did all the shopping before hand and then I went and did the grocery shopping after. Mom got home around 2:30 pm. I put everything away and I started to prep the first part of dinner already. Now it is 4:12 pm and I am finally getting around to turning my computer on and writing to you. It was fun going out all day but I must say I am a bit tired. I think I will be sleeping good tonight. 
 The weather today is in the 60's but the wind is blowing like crazy. I think it is 20-30 mph right now and it has been since we got home on Sunday. Least there is no rain. Mom was so happy to finally drive her new vehicle. We got it just 48 hours before we left for Ohio so I hadn't had the chance to drive it at all. I have had it now for 10 days and Mom loves it! I am so happy with it. I am not sure if I told you what the color was but it is white with a tan interior inside. I just love it so much and I am so happy with the decision that I made to do the trade. Mom clean it up a bit on the inside from the trip so now all it needs is a nice cleaning on the outside of it. everyone will get the chance to see it this weekend. They will be here on Saturday morning. I am not sure what we will be doing though because it is suppose to rain off and on the whole weekend. That is a bummer but it usually does rain on Easter weekend. Mom can't believe that it will be the 7th Easter without you here. I miss the holidays with you. I miss decorating and getting all the goodies for you. I miss it all but mostly Mom misses you beyond any words could say. 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 will live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. 
 Last night was quiet to a point. Mark worked all day long and then he ate dinner and went back to work until 9 pm. Mom sat on the couch and relaxed for a bit and watched tv. We went to bed at 10 pm and then Mark was watching tv in the bedroom and I was getting ready to go to sleep when I realized that the blankets were all wet. I don't know what is going on but Ozzy peed on the bed. Mom and Mark got up and cleaned all the bed linens and then changed ours out. By the time I was done it was almost after midnight. Mom was not happy at all. He has done this a couple times before but not this bad. I sure am hoping that tonight will be much quieter and Mom can go to bed at a descent time. 
 I have no updates for you at all today. I do know that Meme called this afternoon while I was out so I will call her later this evening to see what is going on. I am not sure if Aunt Beck went home or if they chanced it. I sent her a message just now so hopefully she will answer it. I will keep you updated as I know of things. Tomorrow is already Wednesday and Mom will have some housework to do and then it will be a day of studying and for Thursday as well. Friday Mom will be going out to get some stuff that we will need over the weekend plus Mom is doing a little Easter basket for everyone. I think they will like them. It will have some candy, candles, scratch tickets and some booze in it. Meme is also getting a pretty jewelry box and Debbie is getting a blanket. Mom will let you know Sunday afternoon what they thought of it. We all have decided to go out to dinner for Easter Sunday again. We did it last year and it worked out great! We will come back here after and have dessert and visit before they have to leave. Mom will write to you later that afternoon when I get all the cleaning done. I will probably write from my iPad as I won't turn the computer on that day. I will write to you either Saturday morning before they get here or Saturday night when everyone goes to bed. Tonight I will light your candle and I will whisper to you as I always do. Smile for Mom and I will smile for you. I hope you have fun tonight while I get some sleep. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thank you. I need to get going for now but I will be back tomorrow with another letter. Until then....good night and sweet dreams my sweet precious son.  
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” John 14:6-7, NIV

Lord our God, we come seeking to find community with you and ask you to keep us in your truth throughout all that occupies us in our daily lives. Keep us from growing confused about truths we have already found through the witness of your Spirit in our hearts. Keep us in your truth so that we can hold firmly to our course on earth under the many hardships and burdens that try to drag us down. Help us to remain steady and to find the path that goes straight ahead, leading us on and on to your final goal. Amen.
