Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Mom is believing that you definitely are somewhere far away from where I am so that you are in the sunny weather & not in this cold. Sorry that I could not write to you last night but the weather was so bad with wind, ice, snow, fog, etc... that we didn't know if we were going to loose power. I didn't want to take the chance. I know that you understand, I know that you could see what we were dealing with. The weather today is so cold, but sunny & blue skies. The snow is glistening in the sun & it is pretty but Mom still doesn't like it all that much...lol. Princess & Ozzy don't like it either. They won't even go walking in it like Max & Snickers used to. These guys really don't like the cold weather. Makes it tough to get them to go outside. I love them so but boy they are stubborn.....lol.
 Everyone in the family are for the most part well. No one up North got any of the storm. It completely missed it altogether so they are extremely lucky this time but won't be because we are in for another snow storm next weekend. Seems to be the same pattern that we had last year. 5 weeks straight with major storms & 110" total. It was insane & so cold. Hopefully we can have a milder winter & not as much snow. We will see as we have another 2 months. Grammy ( Great Grammy to you ) is having a tough time. She is not doing well. Aunt Shirley & Grandpa will be having a meeting this week for her. Everyone is keeping me posted. I know that you will be with her. Thank you my sweet precious son. 
Think that is what I have for you for updates right now.
 Mom is getting ready to watch the 2 Championship football games today. First up is Patriots vs Broncos & later it is Cardinals vs Panthers. Do your thing Tyler.... help the Patriots go to the SuperBowl again this year. Would love to see Patriots vs Panthers. That would be amazing. I know you loved the Patriots so I know you will help them out today! By the end of the games we will all know who will be facing off in the big game that will be played on February 7th. Well as I am typing you this letter the Broncos already got a touch down. This is not a good start to the game for us. Do your magic Tyler.... we need luck!
 Anyways.... here are the daily prayers I need to catch up on. January 23~ Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer & their supplications & maintain their cause & forgive thy people which sinned against thee. God, I do not intend to hurt you & others. I am not always sure what happens in those times when I do hurt you & others. I am thankful that you forgive. Please help others to forgive me, too. Remind us all to follow your teachings. We pray that you will guide & comfort us. Amen.
 January 24~ And there ye shall eat before the Lord your God, & ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye & your households, wherein the Lord thy God hath blessed thee. May you find joy & satisfaction in your family life. In building a home & setting up a residence---be blessed! In finding a job & working diligently---be blessed! In taking care of little ones & making friends in the neighborhood---be blessed! In seeking God for all your help & guidance, bringing every care to him, yes, may you indeed be blessed. Amen.
 Ok, Mom is all caught up again. The night sky will be upon us in the next 45 minutes or so. I hope that the sky stays clear so that we will be able to see the stars & moon shining bright tonight. No matter what I will whisper to you as I always do each & every night. Hope you can hear Mom's voice. Hope it makes you smile. I miss you so much, beyond crazy & Mom loves you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Hope that your night is all that you need & want it to be. Slow down & rest though. Sweet dreams to you & come visit Mom in my dreams tonight. Remember you are forever in my heart, mind & soul. You will forever be my wind beneath my wings.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
