Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this Monday night? Today has definitely been a Monday that is for sure. The weather has been crappy all day long. It started last night with the winds whipping like crazy. So bad that Mom did not sleep at all last night. The wind kept me awake. It started snowing here around 7:30 am & it hasn't stopped. I was watching the news & it was saying this storm we are getting right now is Storm Mars & it will continue until midnight or early tomorrow morning & then we have another storm coming in which is Storm Nacio which will give us another 5" of snow. If that wasn't enough we could be getting another storm over the weekend. This is starting to be just like last year all over again. The month of February was tough for us. Mom so dislikes all this snow. It really sucks. It is super cold here too. I bet where you are it is warm& sunny....just the way you always liked it. There is no doubt in my mind you are also somewhere helping someone who needs it. That is just the way you always were. So caring & so full of love. Makes Mom smile at the thought. 
 Tonight Mark is packing to get ready for his business trip. He is hoping that he will be still flying out as a few flights have been canceled because of the weather. Time will tell in the morning if his flight will go or not as the weather can get better or worse. I know that you will be watching over him no matter what. You will make him safe. I also know that you will be watching over Mom too. Mom's friend is driving at this moment to come spend a couple days with me while Mark is gone. It will be a good time. We are going to go do girly things & eat lots of junk food & drink wine. I know you are laughing & rolling your eyes but Mom knows that you are also happy for me & you know this will be something that I need. Thanks pumpkin!
 I don't have any updates for you. So sorry Ty. It just has been a quiet day. I think it will be a quiet night as well. Our family knows that we have company coming. I do however have the daily prayer for you. February 8~ Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? There is no searching of his understanding. To embrace the gifts each day bring is to acknowledge that the Creator never walks away from his creation. Rather, his hand is always at work making us better than we know we can be. Amen. 
 The night sky is upon us now. The night sky is all cloudy as it continues to snow & be a winter wonderland outside. Mom hopes that you have a wonderful night filled with all the things you need to do & want to do. Rest though & get some sleep. Sweet dreams my sweet precious son. Come see me tonight in my dreams. Continue to be by our sides. It means a lot to Mom. Thank you. I miss you like crazy & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You will continue to be my everything. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul. You are my Hero & my Wind Beneath My Wings.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
