Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Monday morning? Today is April 1st so Happy April Fool's Day. You used to love this day and playing all kinds of tricks on Mom. You would scare me, make me laugh, smile and shed happy tears all at the same time. Boy do I miss those times like crazy. I miss you so much, Tyler. I can't help but feel so alone all the time now. I always had you in my life even when you were not physically beside Mom and now I don't have that and my heart hurts every day since you went away. I am so sorry for not writing to you last night but honestly I was out running errands and then stopped to grab lunch and then back home. I didn't even feel like going to my nail appointment yesterday so I rescheduled that to this Saturday. It was just an off day. Mom was out for about an hour and then back home, had lunch and then watched a movie. I thought that the night would be relaxing but it was anything but that. After about 2 hours from eating, Mom was so sick the rest of the afternoon and evening. Now I remember why I never eat fast food. Oh it was hell in plain english. Mom crawled into bed at 9 pm and I was asleep by 10 pm. The afternoon just wore me out and made me tired. On a good note, I feel much better today so that is awesome. The sun is shining and the skies are so blue. The temp is only 42 degrees and it is windy but it is all good. Tomorrow the weather is suppose to be partly sunny during the day and rain at night and rain all day/night on Wednesday. Please watch over Mark as he drives to NY again on Tuesday morning and then drives home on Wednesday evening. Also, watch over Mom and the pups again while we are at home. I am hoping that Princess will be okay. Thank you for everything my sweet precious son. 
 Today, has definitely been a Monday for sure. Everything is going in 100 different directions for Mark and I and it is making us both nuts...lol. He is busy on the phone with work and getting ready for tomorrow and Mom is trying to do everything else that is needed here. It's like I lost a weeks worth of things in the last 5 days but I really didn't. This week will just be crazier. Mark will be gone for the 2 days and then home again, Thursday Mom is going to go pick up her new vehicle. Yes, I chose to do it and Friday will be work for Mark and then packing on Saturday and leaving on Sunday morning for Ohio for a few days. Mom asked Mark if it would be easier for him to just go for a few days and then come home but he said no. Mom wants to go but I am concerned about the pups. They do not do good around people that they do not know. I am worried about that. Mark said we would discuss it later when he comes home to make any final decisions. Mom will keep you posted. The rest of my week will be studying and then packing if necessary. Saturday will be running around doing errands and such. After next week things will get back to normal for us all and we can get back to our routine that we are used to. These last couple months have been tiring and crazy. 
 Meme called yesterday and this morning. She was saying that Bob was not doing so well. This weekend was rough for him. He slept a lot and didn't hardly eat or drink. She is pretty concerned and I have to say I am as well. I finally got to chat with Aunt Beck today. She is very busy with work and class. She was saying that Bean loves her new job and she is doing well. Her and John leave next week for 5-6 weeks on vacation. They are headed out West. they are jumping in their van and going for a road trip. I told her that I would call her next week before they head out as I know that we won't have a chance to chat while she is gone. I haven't heard from Grandpa at all in a few nights so I will call him tonight to check in and to say hello. That is all I have for updates for you today. It is now after 1 pm and I need to call my college because of an email that I received. I need to get that straightened out. Mom will be back tomorrow night with another letter to you. I will light your candle and whisper to you as I always do. Smile for me and I will smile to you. I miss you and I love you more than life itself. You will always be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you are inside my heart, mind, body and soul. I sure hope that you have fun tonight while Mom sleeps. Come visit me if you can. Thank you, Tyler. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams later. Please continue to light the path for Mom as you are my biggest star in the sky.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the pray for the day:

For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures for ever, and his faithfulness to all generations. Psalm 100:5, RSV

Lord God, our Father, we thank you for all the light you give us and for all your loving help in outward things as well. We come into your presence and ask you to give us your light and your constant guidance for the path we must follow. Grant that what is of heaven may be revealed on earth, that we may rejoice in the good and beautiful things you give to all people. Our Father, reveal what is of heaven, and free people from their sin and darkness so that at last they recognize your glory. Strengthen our hope for this goal. Rule and work in the hearts of many people, that through them your glory may be proclaimed to all. Amen.
