Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday evening?Hope you are somewhere warm & sunny & not where Mom is where it is so cold & the storm is heading our way. Should be upon us come early morning. Been watching the news all night long & things are still up in the air to just how much snow we will be getting. Could be as little as 3"  up to 18" plus. I hope we don't get hardly anything & it misses us completely. The southern states are getting a bunch of nasty weather. I hope everyone stays safe there. Mom has quite a few friends that live in those states. I been seeing them post picks of everything that is going on. I feel bad because they are not equipped for any of it. Hopefully folks will be smart & they remain home. Power outages are horrendous as well. I think the last totals were over 6000 with out electric. Mom hopes they get it back soon. I am praying for all of them. 
 Mom had a chance to talk to Meme, Auntie Kristina & her friends Linda & Gary today. Always nice to catch up with everyone & to see how everyone is doing. Meme is doing well, Bob is doing good too. A little of a disappointment with a few things but hopefully that will change. I know you are watching over them.... I know they are in good hands. Spoke to Grandpa & Debbie last night & they are both doing well. Aunt Shirley is doing good & Grammy is still having more bad days than good days which is so sad. She is a trooper though. Love her dearly. Aunt Beck & Mom spoke a couple days ok & her & John are doing good. They are getting ready to take a trip to South America. Please watch over them as they are traveling. Thanks Ty. Mom is doing the best that I can. Mark is well. He, as always is working a lot. The company that he works for has him going all over the place for clients...go figure. Long hours & lots of driving as well. I know you watch over us all & Mom is so thankful. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much pumpkin. Think that is all the updates I have for you tonight. I am sure there will be more come the weekend.
 Here is the daily prayer for today. January 22~ For the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace & not of evil, to give you an expected end. Lord, how it must amuse you at times to see us orchestrating the details of our days as if everything & everyone were in our control. It's only when you are involved in our plans that things go smoothly, Lord. Teach us to trust that your way is the better way, even when we can't see how every detail will turn out. Our insight is only good as our reliance on you. Please be with us each day, Lord. Amen.
 The night sky is upon us now. The sky is clear & dark. I see nothing shining in the sky right now but I will look later tonight. I will whisper to you as I always do no matter what. Hope you have a restful * peaceful night. May you do all that you want & need. If you rest tonight Mom hopes you have sweet dreams. I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Come see Mom tonight in my dreams. Remember you are forever in my heart, mind & soul.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
