Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday evening? It is President's Day today. I wonder if you get to see all the past presidents that have passed? Do you get to meet celebrities that have passed as well? I wonder that & so many things. Mom is doing about the same as I was a couple days ago. Still pretty hairy here at the home front. Day 4 of pretty much quite & no talking still. I am handling it & I am doing just fine. I know you are with me & watching over me. Thank you so much for that. 
 The weather here was actually really really cold... -18 degrees &  -23 with the wind chill factor. The snow has stopped & the high winds too, but we are in for more snow tomorrow & another major snow storm this weekend. I am so sick of this crap...ugh! I can just here you now..you hated the snow just as much as Mom does. We would get so tired of it & couldn't wait until the Spring weather came. Not sure at this rate that we will actually have a Spring. I think this snow will be sticking around for a very long time. It was estimated that our area has received almost 10' of snow in 1 month. That is just so crazy!
 Bob had his surgery this morning. I spoke to him a couple hours ago. He seemed to be doing well. Just sore where they did the surgery. I have my fingers crossed that this will work & he will be able to have a better quality of life. I hope this so that it will take the stress off of Meme too. I know you were with them both. Thank you pumpkin. The rest of the family is fine. Everyone is doing just peachy.
 Remember George " Skeeter? "  Well... his Grammy passed away this afternoon. I read it over facebook. Just sad. Heaven gained another Angel today. I didn't really know her but her many things about her. She was very nice. She was suffering so it was a blessing. Now she has her Angel wings just like you do!
 I have a couple of daily prayers to write to you so let me start them. February 15~ Be kind to one another; tenderhearted, forgiving one another; as God in Christ has forgiven you. Teach me, my Lord, to be kind & gentle in all the events of life; in disappointments, in the thoughtlessness of others, in the insincerity of those I trusted, & in the unfaithfulness of those on whom I relied. Let me put myself aside to think of the happiness of others, & to hide my little pains & heartaches so that I may be the only one to suffer from them. Teach me to profit by the suffering that comes across my path. Let me so use it that it may mellow me, not harden nor embitter me; that it may make me patient, not irritable; & that it may make me broad in my forgiveness, not narrow, haughty or overbearing. Growing in wisdom means growing in love, tolerance, grace, & acceptance. 
 February 16~ So even to old age & gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to all generations to come. Father God, when will we learn that the greatest gift we can pass to our children & our grandchildren is not our earthly wealth but our faith in you? We set up trust funds & college funds, or we feel badly when we can't, when the only true security is through you. As parents & grandparents, keep us focused on what really matters. Remind us to spend precious time with the younger generation---to earn the right to share the greatest legacy we have to give, which is faith in you. Go forth in the joy of the Lord, knowing how blessed you are. 
 The night sky is already upon us. I will be so happy with daylight savings time. We will lose an hour of sleep but the days will be longer & the nights will stay lighter. I can't wait to see the sun & feel it on my face. I have been so depressed with the weather I was told to go buy a " light box " like you had. I am seriously thinking about it. I think it might help me. I remember that you said it helped you. Anyways... I am not sure if I will see the stars tonight. The sky was clear & blue today so it will be a surprise if I do get to see them. I will whisper to you as I always do though. Hope you will get to hear Mom's voice. I love you so much & I miss you like crazy. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. 
 I hope you have a wonderful night doing what you love up there. May you have many sweet dreams & may I see you in my own. You are forever in my heart, mind, & soul my sweet precious son.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
