Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? It sure is a Monday! Nothing good comes out of the first day of the week....ugh! Mom actually slept pretty good last night. The pups are starting to recover nicely and they are not itching or scratching as much as they were. That is a good thing. We still don't know about Ozzy's ear infection. He seems to have more energy now so I think the medicine that they gave him is working. Hard to say though as it has only been 3 days. Mom will be monitoring him closely still. 
 I am very sorry that I didn't write to you yesterday. I wanted to but yesterday was a hard day. It started out good but slowly declined quickly. Mom was in the wrong and I made a nasty comment to Meme. She got very upset and went to her room to be alone. She wasn't talking so I decided to go in to speak to her and I noticed that she was crying. She told me that I hurt her feelings and she didn't deserve to be spoken to the way that I did to her. Mom felt really bad after. I did apologize and tried to talk to her but she really didn't want to. I think that was a slap in my own face and an eye opener for Mom. I need to be more understanding and see things through her eyes. She is having a hard time and she is not so young anymore. I am blessed to still have her and Grandpa with me and I need to make things right and better. I thought about that all afternoon and evening. I really wasn't in the mood to write a letter so I just stayed away from all electronics. I went to bed still upset with myself for what I did and a heavy heart. It was on my mind. I did wake up though rested and with a new outlook on things. As long as the house is cleaned and neat to our standards and if it isn't then I will just do it myself, then they can do what they want to. Bob can do nothing all day and I will try to help Meme out as much as I can. When I am not helping her then I will balance my days with school work and other things that need to get done such as cooking, cleaning, laundry and relaxing when I can. I think by having that mind set, things may get better and Meme will be more comfortable and happier. That was the whole goal after all with doing this whole move. 
 Today has been busy in ways. Mom was up at 7 am and I fed the pups and made coffee. I sat downstairs and relaxed for a bit as I was not feeling all that great this morning. I had a sore throat and headache. I feel better now and only a slight sore throat. I came upstairs about an hour later and made the bed, got ready and then went to the post office and to the grocery store. Meme needed a few things so I drove her there. We got back around 1 pm and we had some lunch. Mom came upstairs to her office nook after that and did a couple things that Mark asked me to do. The rest of the time I have been trying to help meme with an email and phone calls. That last 2 hours and we got no where with it so we will try again in the morning. Tuesday should be a fairly slow day where Mom can do some studying. Mark and Mom were hit pretty hard with a few things today. We are asking for help through prayers from you, the Angels and God to help see us through this ordeal. There will be extra prayers indeed too. Something will work out because it needs to or we are in trouble. Thank you for whatever you may be able to do for us my sweet precious son. It means a lot to Mom and Mark. 
 It is already after 4 pm and Mom needs to be getting her butt in gear and head downstairs to prep dinner for us all. Mark is on a conference call right now so he will be finished around 5:30 pm. He has another cutover at 6 am tomorrow morning. Guess for him it will be an early day. He will be done at 2 pm. The rest of the evening will be relaxing and just enjoying everyones company. Mom will light a candle when I go downstairs for you and I will whisper to you later this evening. Smile for me and I will smile to you. Have fun while I sleep tonight. Come visit me if you can. Thanks Ty! Always know that you are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. You live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. I miss you more than words can ever say or express. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. Hopefully tomorrow I will have some updates for you. I called Grandpa but got his voicemail and I haven't heard from anyone else. It is sad but that is just the way it is I suppose. Okay, pumpkin...Mom is going to end this letter for tonight, change into something comfortable and go make dinner. Until tomorrow comes.....good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

 The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice... The heavens proclaim his righteousness, and all peoples see his glory. Psalm 97:1, 6, NIV

Lord our God, we turn to you, for you are our help. Hear our prayer, we beseech you; let our cry rise to you so that you may send your mighty help in our generation. Continue to protect us from all evil, from death and destruction. Protect us because we are your children. As your children we turn to you, the almighty God, who can make everything work together for good. Be merciful to us, O Lord God. Help us for your name's sake. Help, Lord, for you alone can bring everything to a good end. So we stand before you in Jesus Christ, holding to every word you have given us and knowing for certain that you hear us. Amen.
