Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday evening? Mom is doing alright but I have to be honest and tell you that I am so not on track tonight. I have let time slip away and it is after 5:30 pm. The pups got fed already but Mom has not done dinner yet for Mark and I yet. I wanted to write you a quick letter just to tell you that I miss you so much and I love you more than anything in my world. To the moon and back and all the way around the world. To infinity and beyond. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live in my heart, mind, body and soul. 
 Mom was up again this morning at 6 am when Mark's alarm went off. We were in bed at 9:30 pm last night. Going to bed at that time and getting up that early really isn't so bad at all. We tend to get rest more and we are both really to start the day. Mom does relax in bed for a couple hours after Mark leaves though to help calm the pups down. I was ready, bed made, shower done, floors vacuumed and breakfast made all before 11 am. I started to study for a few hours and then I chatted with Auntie Kristina this afternoon for a bit. That is where I lost track of time. We chatted for awhile seeings how it has been over a month since we had. I smiled a lot and it was good to talk to her. Everything is pretty much the same on her end. After the call I went right back to studying again and finished my exam just as Mark got home. I got a 95% on it. I am happy with that! Straight A's still and a 4.0 GPA. I will take it. I am now 75% done with the course. I should be taking the final exam next week. It went by fast that is for sure! Tomorrow Mom is taking the day and not studying at all. I want to relax all day and do whatever I want. It is Mom's Birthday....it will be Wednesday, May 15th. Mark has to work so I will take the day and just binge watch my shows and eat junk food all day until he comes home...lol. I will write to you so don't worry. I will be on my computer for a bit as well but not much. 
 Mom has no updates for you as the phone did not ring last night at all or today, other than Mark. I will be sure to have some for you tomorrow though. I have had your candle lit today for most of the afternoon. Looks like a new one will be needed either later tonight or tomorrow. I will whisper to you as I always do so smile when you hear Mom and I will smile to you my sweet precious son. Have fun tonight while Mom gets some sleep. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thank you. 
 The weather today has been gray, cloudy, rainy and windy...no sun. Mom is hoping for sunshine tomorrow so that maybe I can get a painting in the sky from you. What a wonderful sign and Birthday present that would be from you. Guess time will tell if that will happen. Mom needs to really get going so that I can get dinner for us. My eyes hurt and I have a slight headache. Guess I am hungry. I will be back tomorrow so until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:1-2, NIV

Lord our God, almighty and holy One, whose glory shines upon the earth so that we may find joy in you and may live rejoicing in all your loving-kindness, spread out your hands in blessing over all people. Spread your blessing over the happy and the sad, over the courageous and the weak. Shepherd them in your love, in the great grace you have given through Jesus Christ, confirmed in us through the Holy Spirit. Do not let us remain degraded and worthless. Lift our hearts above what is transitory, for you have given us something eternal to live by. Help us every day so that we can reach the goal you have set for us, for many others, and finally for all peoples of the earth. Amen.
