Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is doing better today than I was yesterday. Thank you for watching over me. I really appreciate it so much. Mom has been up since 7 am. I lounged in bed for a bit to wake up while Mark fed the pups and made his coffee. I got up later and made the bed, vacuumed the floors again and then took a shower. After that I made something to eat, did the dishes and then came right in to study. I have been doing that all afternoon. My hand needed a break from writing so i thought that I would write you your letter.  
 The weather started out clear and cloudy and for the last few hours it has been heavy rain and wind. It is nasty out there. The weather states that we are going to have a lot of rain this week and very little sun. I guess April has 8 more days so the April showers bring May flowers. The temp outside is also not the greatest. It is 50 degrees. Mom had to put the heat on this morning only to find out that it was not working. I had to have maintenance come back again and figure out what was going on. The value ended getting shut off over the weekend when he was here fixing the AC. All is well now though. We have heat again. The wind is scaring Princess so Mommy is trying to hold her while typing to you with one hand. This kind of weather really scares her and Mom is not sure why. I paused for a few minutes to put some music on and just sit here and hold her. She is doing better now but not where Mom wants her to be just yet. This kind of weather makes Mom tired and achy. Mark is feeling the same way. Mom had to take a bit longer of a break because it appears that Princess had a seizure and was just not shaking. Mark was on the phone so I had to handle it by myself. She is alright now. She is just tired and still scared of the rain and wind that is coming down. We just fed them and they both ate but they are both shaking still. Mom will get off the computer and go sit with them on the couch while I have a quick bite to eat for dinner. I am not concerned on what we are having tonight.... Mom is concerned about the pups. I know you understand what i am talking about. I am done studying as well for the day now as it is after 5 pm. I will study tomorrow and I will be taking another exam. 
 I really have no updates but what I do know is that everyone made it home safely yesterday and arrived in NH around 5:30 pm. I texted bean to say hello but got no response. Aunt beck and John are in North Carolina at the beach and they are enjoying it. Guess everything is going well with the van. That is good news. mark worked all day and just got off the phone. He has a somewhat simple week of work this week which will be a nice change for him. He needs it. Mom will continue to study this week and hopefully I can get alot accomplished. The weekend will be relaxing with no plans at all other than a nail appointment on Sunday. Tonight will be relaxing on the couch watching some tv and then going to bed. Hopefully the rain will calm down and so will the wind so that everyone can get a good night sleep. Mom will light your candle in a few minutes and I will whisper to you as I always do. Smile for me and I will smile to you. I miss you 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 live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then....good night and sweet dreams my sweet precious son. Have fun tonight doing what you do while I am sleeping. Come visit if you can. Thank you.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, like men waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. Luke 12:35–36, NIV

Lord our God, we wait in expectation. Even in the great distress on earth, we wait in longing for your day to come, for the pangs of death to pass, so that your kingdom may arise and the reign of Jesus Christ may spread over the whole world in power and glory. May your promise be fulfilled and your will be done on earth. May there always be people who believe and who pray in faith, “Lord God, come! Come, Lord God. Humankind does not understand how to live. Send us Jesus Christ, the Savior, Lord, and Judge of the dead and the living. Put an end to sin and death!” We thank you for giving us this faith and for letting us pray at all times, “Come, Lord Jesus. Yes, come soon, Lord Jesus!” We ask you to protect us in this faith. Bring this faith to fulfillment for the glory of your name. Amen.
