Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this Saturday night? Mom hopes that you are spending your days where it is sunny & warm & no where near where we are...lol. Today, the weather was sunny but boy was it freaking cold, the wind was whipping & just awful. mark & mom went out to do shopping & Mark got a hair cut. Next week I will be going to get my nails done. Haven't done that for over 1 year now. It will be nice as pretty soon I will be going for interviews & looking for work. Mom wants to look professional. 
 Tonight, we will be in & relaxing while trying to stay warm. Meme called today. She is doing well. She is having her car worked on as she has no heat in it. The dealership is coming to her & bringing a rental car for her this week as temps there will be dropping to 2 degrees at night. Not ready for this cold weather but it however is winter & it will get worse before better. Mark is on the phone right now with Grandpa. Sounds like they are having a good conversation so that is good. Things there are well for them too. Grandpa went for a position for the Police Commissioner. I really hope he gets it because he really wants it. I will be sad for him if he doesn't. he will be bummed too. Anything you can do for him would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ty. Not much else is going on. Next week Mom will be getting her Massachusetts license. Kinda sad to surrender my Texas license but there is nothing I can do. Maybe someday Mom will go back to Texas or somewhere down South. 
 The evening sky is upon us now. In the next coming weeks the days will start to get longer again so that will be nice. No more having lights on at 3 pm. It is crazy! Mom is hoping that we will be seeing the stars & moon shining bright tonight. No matter what, Mom will be whispering to you as I always do. Hope you will be hearing my voice. I miss you so much my sweet precious son. I love you like crazy. Unconditionally...to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Never forget this.
 Here is the daily prayer for today. January 2~ Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. The past, O God of yesterdays, todays, & promise-filled tomorrows, can be an anchor or a launching pad. It's sometimes easy to look back on the pain & hurt & believe the future may be an instant replay. Help us to accept the aches of the past & put them in perspective, so we can also see the many ways you supported & nurtured us. Then, believing in your promise of regeneration, let us meet the future free & excited to live in joy. Amen. 
 Mom is hoping that your night is filled with peace & love. Hope you can have the chance to get some rest & if so I hope you have the sweetest of dreams. Come see me in my dreams tonight. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
