Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom wishes I could say that I am doing good but honestly my stomach has been doing flip flops all afternoon and I am not feeling the greatest. I wanted to stop on by and write to you even if it is just for a few minutes instead of not writing to you at all. It is already after 4 pm and Mom really has not done a darn thing at all. I spoke to Grandpa earlier today. Him and Debbie are coming down for a visit for 1 day at the beginning of August. It will be nice to see them for a few hours. I also spoke to Meme briefly. She was on her lunch break so she said she would call me later tonight. I think everyone ( Mark, Mom, Meme, Bob) are all getting really stressed out now. We are 80 days out from moving and we still have so much to do! I know Mom is feeling it. I am seeing that my temper is coming out and my fuse is short with folks. That is not me at all but I am just going in so many different directions right now. I sure wish I could talk to you and hear your voice. I miss you so much. I think Mom is emotional as well because Monday the 29th you would have been celebrating your 29th Birthday. These kinds of days are never easy for Mom now. It used to be about celebrating you and your special day and now it is another reminder, not like I need more, that you are no longer here. 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 live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Your candle has been lit since about 11 am. I whispered to you so I hope you heard Mom. I will whisper to you again later this evening as well. Smile for me and I will smile for you. Mom doesn't have any updates for you at all right now but maybe in a couple days I will. I sure hope you have fun later this evening doing all kinds of neat and wonderful things while Mom is trying to get some sleep. Lately, I keep having nightmares. I hope they stop soon. I don't like them at all. I am hoping to get some study time in tomorrow if I am feeling better! Fingers are crossed. Mom is not going to write a long letter today just because of the time and how I feel. I will be back tomorrow though. I am sorry about today's letter. Until tomorrow comes my sweet precious son....good night and sweet dreams later.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is today's prayer:

TODAY, JULY 25, 2019

May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us – yes, establish the work of our hands. Psalm 90:17, NIV

Dear Father in heaven, Creator of what is good, beautiful, and full of joy so that all may work in harmony with you, we thank you for all the good that comes to us. May we be your children, joined together to serve you. May our life bring joy to others, and may we do good without ceasing through your great, strong love, which moves us, strengthens us, and helps us every day, however hard life may be. May your name be praised throughout the world. May your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as in heaven. Amen.
