Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday night? The weather here did exactly what it said that it was going to do.... it started at midnight & it was snow & then changed over to sleet & freezing rain & stayed that way through the entire night & into all today. We only got about 1/2" of snow & then the rest was ice. Looked like a skating rink out there. The temp was so cold & windy too. It was 26 degrees at 8 pm last night & didn't really get any warmer. Do you remember those winter days? I know that you hated them. You hated winter because it limited you even more. We both would get really sad during the months of December through March. Mark & Mom were blessed today because we did not have to go out in any of this weather. Mom prayed this morning that folks that needed to go to work & drive in this weather would be safe. There was already 6 or more accidents before 10 am hit this morning. Just awful. 
 I know that you were watching over Meme & Bob as they were traveling in this weather today. They got over 4" of snow. Thank you for looking after them. Means a lot to Mom. I have no updates for you right now as I am sure that everyone is busy because of the snow. Mom hopes to have some for you in the next couple of days. Only 2 more days in this year & then it will be 2016. Can you believe it? Mark & Mom are not going anywhere this year. Staying home & just relaxing. We will be able to see the fireworks in Boston from our balcony so that will be cool. We got to see them on the 4th of July as well. It was nice not to go anywhere. Mom will make sure that I whisper to you as I always do when they are going off. You loved fireworks just as much as I do.
 Here is your daily prayer for today. December 29~ In this world where human love is unconditional & often temporary, it is a joy to know that God loves us unconditionally & eternally. Nothing we can say or do will cause him to stop loving us. Our minds cannot even imagine the immensity of his love for each person on this planet. He sent his son here to deliver that message of love personally. When he died for us, he was saying through his action, " I love you. " God remains always ready to lavish his love on his children. May I open my heart to receive all the love he has to offer. Amen.
 The night sky is nothing but clouds. There will not be anything shining in the sky for us to see here but I know you are shining somewhere bright for someone to see. I will whisper to you as I always do so hopefully you will be listening for Mom's voice. Hope that you have a wonderful, restful & peaceful evening. May it be all that you need & want it to be. Get a chance to relax & get some sleep. Sweet dreams my sweet precious son. Come see me in my dreams tonight when I fall asleep tonight. I miss you so much. I miss you like crazy. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world.
 You are forever in my heart, mind & soul. Please remember that, Tyler.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

PS Mom will be posting a couple different pictures tonight that I think that you will like & will make you smile. Enjoy. Love you, pumpkin!
