Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. I have a lot to still do but I wanted to squeeze in a short letter to you now instead of not writing to you at all. Mom has been up since 6 am. I didn't really get to lounge in bed at all. It was up, feed the pups, get things going, get ready, make the bed, hop on the phone and then off to Mark's appointment we went. We left at 10:30 am and got home at 2 pm. It was a very long appointment but very informative. 
 Let's see.... the Specialist said that neither then neck injury or side injury were related in any way. This is a good thing! She feels that is both injuries are more of a really bad pull then a tear which is another good thing! She said there really isn't a reason to why this is happening unfortunately but she said it is more common than what people think. She is recommending that Mark sees his PCP for another visit, which is already set for next Thursday and PT again 2 times a week starting on the 16th. I guess if his PCP feels that things are good then he will be releasing Mark back to regular work instead of just light duty. Things are progressing slowly but they are going in the right direction! All in all it was a long visit like I said but it was a good visit! We both will keep trucking along with everything and just be careful that this doesn't happen for the 3rd time. 
 When Mom got home earlier, I grabbed a snack and then came right in my office to get things going again. I paid bills online, did the grocery shopping and then hopped on the phone for a few calls. I am still on hold with one of them. It's been 45 minutes already. Looks like it will be a long wait time but that is ok as it is necessary. It has to do with the house. It is after 4:30 pm and Mom needs to start dinner soon and feed the pups. I have a feeling that I will still be on this call through dinner....ugh! I will let you know tomorrow how things turned out! 
 I think later tonight I will take a long hot bubble bath and have a glass of wine to unwind and relax. Mark will be playing his video game I am sure. That is fine by me tonight. I don't have a problem with that at all. I have a few shows to watch later as well that he doesn't really like so it will all work out in the end! Mom is not going to be on the phone tonight though. I need a break from that!  I will give you updates as I know of things over the weekend. Tomorrow is already Friday, September 6th. Where did that go...6 days into the new month already. Kids all had their 1st week of school too. Summer will officially be over in another week and we will enter the Fall/Autumn Season. Monday, the 9th is Grandpa's Birthday and the following week on the 18th it will be Mark's! Pretty soon it will be time to say goodbye to where we live and hello to a new house and a new state! We are at 38 days now! Little by little we are chipping away at everything. Mom has just a few more things to pack and that will be it and we are done. Garage will be this weekend. Saturday may be the day as it will be raining and only 67 degrees. Cool day to do all that crap! We shall see how everything goes. 
 It is getting late and Mom needs to get going even though I am still on hold. I will just feed the pups and prep dinner while I wait. I will light your candle soon and whisper to you later this evening. Have fun while I get some sleep tonight. Come visit me if you can in my dreams. I miss you so much my sweet precious son. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are and always will be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live in my heart, mind, body and soul. Smile for me later when you hear my voice and I will picture it in my mind like I always do. I will smile to you too, pumpkin. Until tomorrow comes.... good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day – and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7–8, NIV
We thank you, Father in heaven, that you concern yourself with us and that you bind us to yourself through all your deeds and all your help. We thank you for showing us a way of hope, a way that becomes always clearer, always firmer under our feet. On this way we can defy every evil of this world and time, knowing for sure that everything will come out right and we will all be brought to the great, eternal goal, even though we have to deny ourselves and go through much suffering. Your kingdom must come to the glory of your name, so that all people may live on a higher plane and follow you, the only true help and true life. Amen.
