Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Saturday afternoon? Mom is sorry that there was no letter yesterday but honestly after the last 2 days and nights, I took a down day and did nothing at all. I actually stayed in bed and either played a golf game or I watched TV. I didn't even make dinner last night either. I really was super tired and just didn't feel all that great. The last couple of days have been hell as Mark reinjured himself again. He has been in a lot of pain and he has been popping medicine like candy. We go this week to see the Specialist so maybe we can get some answers to what is going on. He hasn't been sleeping all that well at night and that makes Mom stay awake to make sure he is okay. Ozzy has been sick a few times this week as well so I have been up with him too. Hopefully things will settle down in a couple of days again and we can all start getting the rest we all need and Mark can be back on the mend again. Mom has her fingers crossed.
 Today is the very last day of August! Crazy that tomorrow will be September 1st. You know what that means? It means that we close on the house in 9 days now instead of 4 due to the hurricane and we are only 42 days away from the big move. Mom is starting to get a bit nervous that is for sure! I won't let anyone see that though. Grandpa called last night and we talked for over an hour. He was saying that they have started to pack some of their stuff and selling some things as well. He has 8 more days of work and then he will be retired completely and Debbie has 26 days left before she does. Meme has 29 days. Everything is coming super fast for us all. Bob called us the other night and told us that he was diagnosed with being diabetic now. He has hypoglycemia, just like you did. The doctors are thinking that is why is has no energy, he is sleeping all the time too. Hopefully things will start to look up for him as well. I know you are watching over us all and making sure. Thank you for that my sweet precious son. 
 The weather today is super nice. The skies are blue, there is a nice breeze and the sun is shining! Mom and Mark went out so that he could get a haircut and then we also went and grabbed a few things at the grocery store. We hit Staples up again for more boxes too. we are hoping that this last batch will be all that we will need to finish up the packing. Mom is getting tired of looking at the boxes already and we have another month to go. I am thinking that we will move them all into my office so that the dining room can be used again. That way everything will be in one place for the movers and it will help them out a little. Mom will be busy this week packing the rest of the stuff up and also making a ton of phone calls to get things set for the change of address. Mark will be working from home again this week and next week. I think he will be working from home until we move and that is a very good thing. He needs to really heal to make this move. Mom will touch base with everyone as well tomorrow so I will have some new updates for you. We are going to relax tonight and have some pizza for dinner and watch a movie. It will probably be a night where we go to bed early. Tomorrow morning Mom is going to start packing things up again. Still pacing myself so there is no stress at all. 
 Mom will light your new candle in a bit after I am done with your letter. I will whisper to you later this evening as well. I hope you smile when you hear Mom and I will definitely be smiling to you. I miss you like crazy 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. Mom will begin to post Fall/Autumn pictures on here for you instead of the Summer ones. I will have to gather some up starting tomorrow. I will be back in the late afternoon or evening to write to you. I hope you have fun tonight while Mom tries to get some much needed sleep. Come visit me in my dreams tonight if you can. For now, Mom has a few things to do around the apartment before it is time to make dinner and feed the pups, plus groceries will be coming later this evening as well. Until tomorrow comes.....good night and sweet dreams later.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is today's prayer:

You should think of us as Christ's servants, who have been put in charge of God's secret truths. The one thing required of such a servant is that he be faithful to his master. 1 Corinthians 4:1–2, TEV

Dear Father in heaven, open our hearts to see and feel how our lives have been blest. Open our hearts to your blessings so that we may look forward in thankfulness and joy to what lies ahead. Grant that we may be faithful to what we have received from you and never again lose ourselves in the passing moment. May we hold to all you have brought to our hearts from eternity, that your name may be honored and our lives shaped anew in Jesus Christ. Give us courage to overcome the evils in life and to look with joy and confident expectation to the future, when the powers of your kingdom will be ever more clearly revealed. Amen.
