Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is doing alright today. Better than I have in a few days. I got a little sleep last night before Mark started snoring and then i was awake pretty much the rest of the time. I did however fall back to sleep and woke up at 8 am. I got up and fed the pups and then went back and lounged for about 30 minutes in bed and I have been on the go since. It has either been emails, text messages or phone calls. It is now after 4 pm and I am finished for the day. It has been productive but I have to say I am worn out. Mark has worked all day long while I have been doing all this stuff. I know he is tired too. Mom was able to chat with the realtor today, we are still trying to get things finished for the closing but everywhere down South is closed still from the hurricane. Hopefully everything will open up tomorrow and we will be ready to rock and roll. Mom called the airlines and got our flights booked and I made the calls to the rental car company as well. I have also been in touch with the movers to get a more definite quote on things. Hopefully I hear from them in a couple days. All this took roughly 6 hours. Crazy huh? Mom is going to write your letter and then call it a day on the computer. I will have to be feeding the pups soon and getting dinner going for Mark and I. Later I will be just relaxing on the couch and watching TV before going to bed early. Mom and Mark have to be up and ready early tomorrow morning because Thursday is the day that he goes and meets his new Specialist. I am trying not to have anxiety over this but I don't think it is working. My stomach has been in knots the last few days just thinking about it. Please be with us when we go there. Thank you so much my sweet precious son. Mom will update you on things tomorrow afternoon when we get home.
 Last night was really not all that great. Meme called me and we kind of had an argument. I was upset and I had the right to be too. I have been telling her now for over 3 months to be careful what she is packing and taking and she is not listening to me. I am the one who has been doing all the leg work on these things and it seems like she doesn't care. That made Mom very angry last night. I zoned out watching the weather channel and chatting with Grandpa later on. I went to bed fairly early too. I was just not in any mood. Mark stayed up later because he couldn't sleep. I think tonight will be another night and repeat of last night minus the arguments and phone calls. I think I might even take a long hot shower or bath later as well to help relax me. Not sure though but what I am sure of is that I will be lighting your candle here in a bit and then I will whisper to you later this evening. Smile when you hear Mom and I will be sure to smile back to you. 
 I have no updates for you today. The hurricane touched down in Florida last night around 8 pm. Things are good though and they got some heavy rain, thunder and a bit of winds. They were very lucky that this one missed them as of last week they were saying it was going to be a Category 5 which is the worst. That was what hit the Bahamas for 2 days straight. My heart hurts to see all the devastating pictures of the islands. Mom is still keeping them all in my prayers each night. Lots of rescuers are down there helping them all out. They need it. I plan on watching the news later to see the latest of what is going on as well. I believe that the hurricane is headed to Georgia and the Carolinas now. My prayers are with them all too. I will keep you posted on that as well. I will touch base with our family tomorrow too. For now it is after 4:30 pm and Mom needs to get going. I need to start the night routine stuff. I miss you so much, Tyler. 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 live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Have fun tonight while Mom sleeps and come visit me in my dreams if you can. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:5–7, NIV

Lord our God, let your light shine in our hearts, the light that can gladden us and lead us until all our longing is stilled. May the higher nature born in us become ever stronger so that the lower and perishable nature does not rule over us. Grant that we may overcome and that our hearts may rejoice in being allowed to strive for the highest good because we are your children who can share in what is eternal. Amen.
