Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Happy Easter to you in Heaven. I hope you are celebrating with all our family and friends. We miss you all here and wish that you were with us. We spoke about you, Nana, Pepe, Grammy, etc...throughout the weekend. I hope you heard us all and made you smile. Mom is sorry that I didn't write to you really the last couple of days but from Friday until now it has been crazy busy. Friday, Mom did housework and then didn't do anything but sit on the couch and watch tv as Thursday night we did not get any sleep because the high winds scared Princess and both Mark and I were up with her until 2 am. Mom decided to take the time off and not push myself. I watched a couple movies in the afternoon and that was about it. Saturday morning we were up early and we had to do some errands and running around. Mom was up at 6 am and fed the pups , got ready and we were out the door by 9 am. We got back and meme, Bob, Grandpa and Debbie were already here. They had pulled in just a few minutes before us. We got inside and said our hellos and then everyone had coffee and something to eat. We really just visited and then ordered lunch and the guys went to pick it up while Mom, Meme and Debbie stayed here. We ate and then lounged around and visited for a bit until our groceries showed up. Mom put everything away and then we played some poker and what a game it was. I think you were with us and laughing so hard. It came down to Grandpa and Debbie and at the ens Debbie won by 1 point. It was so much fun. We finished up at 9:30 pm and then got all the beds made up and everyone went to bed except Debbie and Grandpa. They stayed up for a bit and watched tv. Mom was so tired but I did not sleep at all. I took a dang water pill at 5 pm and it kicked in at 10 pm and I was up every 1/2 hour. Again I was awake at 7 am. Mark fed the pups while I started coffee and breakfast for everyone. Mom cleaned up after that and relaxed for a bit. Then when Grandpa woke up, I made his breakfast and did those dishes. I finally took a shower and got ready. After that shower, Mom started to feel weird. I was light headed, dizzy, my stomach hurt and I almost passed out. I am not sure what was going on but I was scared. I told Mark but no one else. I didn't want to worry them. It has now been about 4 hours since that and I am slowly feeling better. I whispered to you to help Mom. Thank you so much. I think that I will feel better as the hours go on. Everyone had lunch and dessert and we watched a movie after that. Around 2:30 pm everyone decided that they needed to start packing up so that they could get on the road so that they didn't hit traffic. Mark helped them carry everything down and Mom stayed up in the apartment with the pups. After they left I cleaned the bathrooms, mopped the floors, vacuumed the floors, did all the laundry ( 2 loads ) and gathered the trash up. Now I am all down that and writing to you. After Mom is finished I will be going to the couch and relaxing, having dinner and going to bed very early tonight to get some very much needed sleep. Everyone had a great time and Grandpa said that it was an excellent Easter. That my made feel good! The sun is finally out and the skies are turning blue. It is pretty warm here today as well. Yesterday was rainy and 72 degrees. Today it is 66 degrees. Tomorrow and Tuesday will be rain again and much cooler. That stinks! Anyways... Mom will be trying to reach out to Aunt Beck and Bean in a bit to say Happy Easter. Not sure where any of them are today. I will update you on all that when I find out though. That is all the updates that I have and details of the last few days here. Mom will light your candle in a bit and I will whisper to you later. Please continue to watch over me and help me to feel better. Thank you my sweet precious son. I miss you so much 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 are in my heart, mind, body and soul. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Have fun tonight while I sleep. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thank you. Mom is going to go for now though and just relax. My stomach is not feeling so great again. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams later.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

He ransoms me unharmed from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me. Psalm 55:18, NIV

Dear Father in heaven, grant that we may come into your presence as your children. Give to us all that we need each day, so that we are no longer caught in the turmoil of life but can receive your peace. For you care for us as your children, and we are allowed to go confidently through all the troubles of these times because our way leads to you, the eternal Father in heaven. Keep us from going astray and from spending our efforts on what is temporal and cannot last. Let your light strengthen us in what is of heaven, in what is eternally true for our lives. Amen.
