Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is doing okay today! It is 3:50 pm and we just got back from the movies. We left at 11 am. The movie was excellent and long....3 hours. You would have loved it, Tyler. Mom thought of you the entire time. The movie that we saw was the Avenger's...End Game. Mark and Mom took his friend, Rick as well. He really needed a break as he has been going back and forth to the hospital for the last 3 weeks. His ex-wife has been in the hospital and she is still very sick. He still takes care of her even though they are not together and haven't been for 3 years now. Not many would understand the situation but I get it. She needs around the clock care and no one else is there to do it so he does. He is such a nice guy. You would have liked him a lot and he would have liked you too. We talk about you all the time. It's nice and I sure do hope that you smile whenever you hear Mom speak of you. I know I do my sweet precious son. 
 Now we are home, Mom is writing to you and Mark is getting ready to work this evening by doing a cutover. It starts at 6 pm until whenever he gets done. Mom is going to just relax this evening being curled up with the pups and watching some TV shows that I have recorded. That way they will all be quiet for Mark to do his work. Tomorrow we both will be back to our regular routine. Mark will be working and Mom will be back to her studies! 
 Last night I had the chance to chat with Meme. We spoke for quite awhile. We talked about the move but other things as well. She is doing really well with getting things or should I said starting to get things in order and also thinking about what she is going to do with stuff that she will no longer need. Mom suggested to her to make a list of everything in each room...3 columns being... Stuff to keep, stuff to donate and stuff to sell. Her and Bob have a lot of stuff that they could get a lot of money for and they could either bank it or use it for the move or both. I suggested that Grandpa and Debbie do the same thing. They all liked the idea. Mark and I will be doing the same as well but we did all that less than a year ago when we transferred apartments. I know there are a few things that I could part with but not much more or we would have nothing. Mom started last weekend with clothes and shoes. Now it is time to look in the kitchen and my office to see what we don't need. We have time so I am not concerned about it as of right now. We will do a little at a time so it does not get overwhelming. Mom will keep you posted with all of our progress. I won't be speaking to anyone this evening. I already told them all that Mark had the cutover so we will chat on Wednesday night. 
 Can you believe that today is the last day of April? Tomorrow is May 1st. April pretty much flew by. All the months are flying by these days. We have only 6 months left on our lease here and then our lives are going to drastically change but for the better. Lots to do in these next few months though. I know everything will be okay because you will be by our sides and watching over us. Thank you. 
 Mom hopes that your night is fun and it is everything that you need and want it to be. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Mom will whisper to you later this evening and your candle is already lit and has been burning for about 30 minutes now. I whispered to you then so I hope you heard Mom. Smile for me later and I will smile to you as well. I love you with all my heart. To the moon and back and all the way around the world. I miss you like crazy. You will always be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live in my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you but for now I must get going to feed the pups and get dinner going for Mark and I before he starts work. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams pumpkin.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is today's prayer:

He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” Luke 22:41-42, NIV

Dear Father in heaven, we lift our eyes to you. You allow earthly events to follow their own course, and even your own Son had to suffer and die. But your plan is already prepared and you will act in our time according to your will. We pray, “Your will be done, your will!” In the midst of all the suffering let your love be revealed in many places, wherever it is possible for people to understand it. You have always protected us; protect us still. You have done much for us and we want to praise your name. We want to be people who always acknowledge you and praise you, for you will never let any be lost who hope in you. Be with us this night, help us, and send us the strength we need to serve you, also in our everyday life. Amen.
