Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom has been busy today but all seems to be okay. Mark and I went to bed early last night and we were up early again this morning with Princess. For some reason she was panting and shaking again. Mark got up with her and came out to the living room until she calmed down. He came back to bed about 30 minutes later and Mom fell right back to sleep until 7:30 am. I lounged in bed for a bit and then got up, made the bed, took a shower and got ready and then came out and did a bit of housework, made something to eat and then came right in to study. I took the rest of my notes for this lesson and then took the exam. I got 1 wrong again. I got a 95%. My grade overall is a 95 and my GPA is a 4.0. Mom is happy with that! Tomorrow I will get right back to it and do more note taking and then it will be another exam as well. I am 25% done with the course. I am enjoying learning all that it will take to be an Event Planner. I am passionate about this so I want to learn all that I can and also do well in the field that I want to go into. Mark had a slow day today at work. He was on a few calls today for a bit but nothing major. I guess it is a blessing in disguise because he is not feeling that well today. He has a headache, achy all over and he was saying that his stomach hurt. I hope he feels better tomorrow. I think the weather has a lot to do with it. Again...day 3 right in a row it is cloudy, gray and looks like we will be getting rain again. No sun for day 4. This is blah and doesn't help with the attitudes and emotions. According to the weather channel it will start raining again around 11 pm tonight and it will rain until 3 am or so. Looks like the sun may appear tomorrow for a bit but rain again for Friday. The weekends weather doesn't look good either. Dang!
 Last night, Mark and Mom had dinner, I did the dishes and then we relaxed for the evening. We watched some of our shows and then called it a night. The phone rang 1 time and it was Meme. She kind of upset me with what she said. Mom is still processing the whole thing. I am not sure of what to do at this point. You see, Mark and Mom plan on moving again in 6 months when our lease here is up. We were thinking of staying around here but then we said we were not sure. We thought about Texas again, Florida or somewhere warm with no more winters again. Mom has no ties in NH other than Meme, Bob, Grandpa and Debbie. Bean is there but I have not seen her in almost 5 years and only 2 times in almost 9 years. Mark and I discussed having everyone come along as well if they were up for a move. meme said about a month ago that her and Bob were in. I mentioned it to Grandpa and Debbie over the weekend and they seemed interested. That was a great sign...well until last night when Meme called. She started asking me all kinds of questions on what they would do with all their stuff that they wanted to keep. Some I understand but other things are a bit ridiculous. She said she was ready to down size and part with things but with the way she was talking she now doesn't want to. She was saying that Mark and Mom would have our own computer rooms/office but they would only have a bedroom and en suite. I told her yes that was true because they all would be retired and we would still be working, etc.... plus it would be mark and Mom's house that they would be living in. I don't think she liked it when I said that. After the call I was upset and frustrated. I believe that now she and Bob will not move. That is their choice and there is nothing I can do about that. I just hope she will not regret it in the long run. I guess time will tell. I told her that I would call her over the weekend and we could revisit it again then. Maybe I will have a clearer mind set. 
 Tonight, I think will be the same as last night. Grandpa may call but that will probably be it. It will be a relaxing night and bed early again. Mark and Mom really need to get a good nights sleep for once to be able to wake up feeling well rested. If you can help us with that, Tyler, it would be gladly appreciated. Mom hopes that your evening will be everything that you would like it to be and need it to be. I bet without a doubt that you are flying high and free and learning so much. I know that you are always busy but you are around when we need help. Thank you so much for that. It means the world to Mom. I miss you like crazy, every day and every night and all the time in between too. I love you more than words can say. To the moon and back and all the way around the world. You will forever be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. You live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Have fun tonight while Mom sleeps. If you can, come visit me in my dreams tonight or sit next to me. Thanks my sweet precious son. I will light your candle in a bit and I will whisper to you later tonight so be listening for my voice. Smile when you hear Mom and I will smile back to you. It is 4:20 pm right now and it is time for Mom to get going, get the pups fed and then think of what we are having for dinner as well. I will be back tomorrow so until then....good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

I look for your deliverance, Lord. Genesis 49:18, NIV

Lord our God, help us in these days that are so difficult for us. Help us never to lose our expectation of the time that is to come, the time of Jesus Christ, Lord of heaven and earth. Strengthen us, we pray, and strengthen those all over the world who have to endure great suffering, especially the destitute and the dying. May your heavenly hosts come down to the many who are in misery, so that your name is praised in life and in death, in whatever we have to go through. For we shall praise you, no matter what happens now or in the days ahead. May your glory remain in our hearts, with the joy that you, O God, are the Father of all. Amen.
