Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this Tuesday evening? Things here were going really well...at least up until the last hour or so. I don't know what happened but I was surfing the internet for things we needed & Snickers was laying near my feet when out of the blue he made a growling sound & the next thing I know he was biting my right foot. His teeth kept clamping down on my entire foot until Mark grabbed him off me. He did some damage to my 2 toes. They are swollen up & I am trying to elevate it so that the bleeding stops & the swelling gets under control. I don't know what the hell got into him but I am not very happy at all. Mark is so angry too. I don't know what to do with him, Tyler. I don't know why he does this but enough is enough. He has now bit me in the legs, face which required many stitches, my side, my cheek, 2 times in the right arm & now my right foot. He has no more chances after this. I love him & I know he is your pup but he can't continue to bite Mom. I have had to deal with enough of this. I hope that you understand what I am trying to say. Work your magic on Snicks so that I do not have to make some tough choices that I really don't want to. I appreciate it pumpkin. Thank you. 
 Today is Meme's Birthday so I hope that you had the chance to go see her & give her a hug & a kiss. I hope that she knew you were around. Just don't scare her..lol! We were chatting & she was telling me that Bob was not doing well. He was having a hard time breathing & just not himself. Guess the hospital was called & he was scheduled for surgery on the 16th but according to Meme the doctors have pushed it up & are wanting to do this surgery tomorrow. I am worried as things just don't seem like they are good. I know Meme is scared too. The " unknown " really is a tough thing. It makes it really hard. I am awaiting a call from her right now telling me more details. Please be with them both. I know they could use your help & would want you near. Thanks Ty!
 Everything else is ok. The snow finally stopped early this morning. We were snowed in so Mark couldn't even get to work today. The complex didn't even plow at all until this afternoon. Weird but nothing we could do. I hope that his office is not too upset & they understand. Grandpa lost a dear friend a couple days ago. He was a classmate of his that he kept in touch with. So sad to hear this. The calling hours are tonight & funeral is tomorrow. Be with Grandpa if you can during this time. It will be hard on him. Thanks again, Tyler!
 I want to write out the daily prayer for today now so I don't forget & get backed up again..lol. February 3~ Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God & knows God. Jesus, one of my relationships is faltering, & we need your presence. I have faith that you can make all things new again, & you can revive even those things that seem to be beyond hope. I ask that you help us shed our old ways of acting & reacting, that we may make a new relationship, dedicated to & consecrated in you. With your help, we can heal past hurts & forge new ways of relating that will bring us closer to you, together & individually. Please be with us as we work on this challenge. Amen. Please Lord, help me with what ever relationship is in need. I will need your help to get me through these times. Thank you. Amen.
 Well, it is dark outside & the night sky is upon us. The sky appears to be clear so I hope that I will be seeing the stars & the moon shining bright. No matter what I know you are up there or around somewhere shining your brightest. I miss you so much & I love you more than life itself. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. I hope that your night is peaceful & restful & exactly the way you want it to be. Sweet dreams my sweet precious son. I hope to see you in my dreams tonight. Listen out for Mom.. I will whisper to you as I always do. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
