Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Saturday afternoon? Hope you are somewhere warm where I know you will be smiling that Cheshire cat smile of yours. The weather here where Mom is is sunny but bitter cold. I wish it was warmer to melt all the snow we got yesterday. Been watching the news & it looks like we are getting snow Monday evening into Tuesday morning. I really hope it is just a dusting & not another good size storm. I would love to see all this white sh*t gone. Mom just can't handle it anymore. Guess I am getting too old. I sure do miss Texas so much. Loved the area where we lived & I loved the weather. I think one day Mom will go back there & live. Maybe not in the Houston area but around Dallas. 
 Today Mom has not done a thing. I got up early, took my shower so that I could go run all the errands needed & then grocery shop...well to say the least & make a long story short... I took my shower & then laid down. I was not feeling well. I was cold, then hot, felt nauseous  & dizzy. Mom made the right decision not to go anywhere. What I did was laid on the couch & feel asleep for a couple hours. Just woke up a 1/2 hour ago so I thought that I would write to you now so that if I fell back to sleep again then my letter to you would be all done. Not sure what is going on but Mom is not happy about it. Please be with me, Ty. I know you always are but I am asking you to be with Mom more now then ever. Thanks Tyler! ( If Aunt Beck is reading this, can you please do some healing work on me, again? Thank you so much! )
 Looks like tomorrow Mom will be getting up early & doing all the errands. Don't want to be in the grocery store after everyone is out of Church because 1. It is always crazy busy & 2. It is Superbowl Sunday & it will be even worse. I plan on getting up at 7am & heading out the door by 8 am. Wish me luck...lol. Mom has lots to do when she gets back home too. Every day stuff, but also Mark leaves early Tuesday morning to fly to Georgia & Mom has a friend coming for a couple days while he is gone. Girl time.... chick flicks, junk food, laughs & lots of wine is in store for those days...lol. I need to get my office ready for when she arrives on Monday night. I will probably write to you early in the day so that I can relax at night. Mom will be watching the game & rooting for the Panthers for you. I knew you liked them better than the Broncos. I am sure if you have anything to do with it you will have the Panthers win...lol
 No updates for you today as I did not talk to anyone last night. Quiet night with no phone calls. It was a nice change. I will call Meme tomorrow & I am sure Grandpa will call as well. Aunt Beck will be on her journeys traveling to South America so I won't hear from her for a couple of weeks. I know she will be fine as you will be there guiding her way. Thank you my sweet precious son. You continue to amaze Mom.
 Here is your daily prayer for today. February 6~ Praise ye Lord, Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. Lord, how we want to run to you in times of need-----and how blessed we are that we always find you available. You always take us in & calm our weary spirits. You, O Lord, are mighty & unchangeable! At times when everything seems shaky & uncertain, you are firm & immovable. We praise you, Lord! 
 The evening sky will be here shortly. The sun will be setting in about an hour, The sky has been really blue & cloudless today so maybe just maybe Mom will get to see the stars shining tonight & maybe even the moon. No matter what I will be whispering to you as I always do so be listening out for my voice. Mom hopes that your night tonight is filled with all the things that you need & want to do. Slow down though & if you can get some rest. Close those big brown eyes of yours & get some sleep. Sweet dreams to you. Please come visit Mom in my own dreams tonight when I fall asleep. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. I miss you so much. Miss you like crazy. Remember you are forever in my heart, mind & soul. You will forever be Mom's true Hero & my Wind Beneath My Wings.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
