Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. I had a few minutes so I thought that I would write to you now before my chances later on escaped me. The days are all running into one another for me and time is just ticking by. There just doesn't seem to be enough time to do all the things that we need to do and get done. Mark and Mom's days are filled with getting him his correct meds in him at the right times and Mom does things when he is situated and resting or sleeping or we are running around going to different appointments. Today is the 2nd day that we don't have to go anywhere so Mom did some things that needed to get done, paid bills, did the grocery shopping, made a few phone calls, etc already. This afternoon will be doing housework while Mark is resting and then Mom has a couple more boxes that I can pack up before I run out again. I will be needing to go get over the weekend! I think that this will be the last of the boxes needed. Last year we had over 100 boxes packed plus the big furniture for our move and right now we have 26 boxes. I think we will definitely be under 50 boxes so that is a huge savings to us plus we are not taking a lot of our furniture this time (living room set, dining room table, hutch, patio chairs, wine cabinet, computer desk, our king size bed, a couple extra chairs). Things are starting to get really real. We are gathering up everything that we need to close on the new house, get utilities in our name down there as well, flights will be booked next week, phone calls to several places to give our new address out and disconnect the ones here. The month of September will be dedicated to getting all the money for all the deposits that we need to do and before we know it, it will be moving time. In between it all will be still doctor appointments for Mark and PT as well. the days will go by quickly so Mom really needs to get a handle on things now so that I don't let anything slip between my fingers or that I forget something. Anything that you can do to help Mom out with all this will be greatly appreciated. I am trying not to stress out but you know me. I am having to do all this on my own this time because of Mark falling ill again. It is not easy by any means and I am doing the best I can but sometimes it doesn't seem like I am doing enough. I feel like I am so far behind on things when I don't really think I am. Too much is going on in my head right now. I am praying a lot these days. I always do pray but I am doing more. Please send me signs along the way to let Mom know you are near me. If I don't see them and I keep asking you for them, then kick your Mom in the butt...lol. Thanks Ty!
 I have no updates for you at all today. I am going to try and call Aunt Beck to just say hello real quick. I know I will chat with Grandpa and Debbie plus Meme over the weekend. I will fill you in and update you when I know of new things. Mom will be starting a new candle for you today. I will light it when I am finished up here. I will whisper to you later on this evening as well. I sure hope you smile when you hear my voice and I hope you see me smile right back to you. I miss you so much and I love you 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 will always live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you later in the evening. Right now it is time for Mom to get going with all the other things that need to get done before the day turns into the night. I also need to make sure Mark is taking his meds. He just said he was not feeling well. I need to make sure he is resting. Until tomorrow comes my sweet precious son....have fun today and tonight while Mom gets some sleep and come visit me in my dreams if you can. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:10–11, NIV

Lord our God, we thank you that you have given us an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We thank you that you have already begun to give us new vision, that already many things are being transformed, so that we may go gladly and confidently on our way with hope for whatever is still unsolved. May all this live in our hearts and fill us with thanks to you. We want to be courageous and keep in sight what still needs to be changed. Then we can take part as workers in your vineyard. May the light you have given us continue to shine in us and burn ever more brightly, as you have promised. Amen.
