Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is doing the best that she can be. The weather here today is really severe again. The winds are high & gusty. We are in a wind advisory from 10 pm -7 am tomorrow. Heavy rains as well. Every where from Florida to New York & every state in between has been in a tornado warning for most of the day. Florida did get hit pretty hard last night. Mom watched a video on it this morning. Just sad. For some reason this winter has been little snow but more dangerous hurricanes & tornadoes all over the world. As much as I dislike snow... I would rather have that then what we have been getting. Please keep us safe & watch over us during these crucial hours. Thank you so much. Thank you for watching over Mom' friends in various states that have been in dangerous weather conditions as well. Mom spoke to a couple of friends today & they told me to tell you thank you as well. It makes Mom smile when I hear family & friends speak your name. Do you see me smile? I hope so. I know you don't like seeing me sad or crying & you see that quite often so I hope you see it when I laugh & smile. 
 Well, today was a big day for Mom. As you could see I ordered all my books & study guide for my certification exam. Next week will be the 3 week start to the studying process for me & then I will be going right into the 45 day exam. My life with be consisting of sleeping, studying & doing this exam for the next 9 weeks. I know that it will be so worth it in the end. I am really nervous, excited & all the other emotions that will go with this new journey that I am about to begin. It brings me 1 step closer to getting a job & feeling better about myself. I know I got this as I know you will be with Mom every step of the way. I couldn't ask or want a better sidekick then you, Tyler. I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my everything...you are my world. I love you unconditionally! I know you know this & I know you can feel it in your soul. I am so glad because it is so important to Mom. 
 No new updates today as I did not talk on the phone much at all. I always assume that no news is good news so I will go with that! Mark got to work from home today again & he has been busy since early this morning. Pups are quiet due to the weather & Mom has been doing all the other things she has needed to do. Busy day all around but productive. That's a good thing I believe. Aunt Shirley did send me a message to tell me that she is not getting any better & she is really in so much pain. She can't hardly walk & she couldn't go see Grammy at all. Makes her sad but she has to get better herself so she can be strong for Grammy. I know that feeling all too well. So many used to say that to Mom when it came to you. I never listened though as you know...but everything worked out in the end, right? Hopefully I will have more updates for you in tomorrows letter. For now I have the daily prayer for you today..... February 24~ Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. Help me take stock of your gifts to me, Lord. I'm good at things that appear to be so insignificant. Chances are you can use any one of these gifts, no matter how simple they appear, to help others. Remind me that it's not what I do but my doing it that ultimately matters. Amen. 
 The evening sky will be coming sooner tonight than normal due to the weather. The sky is gray & cloudy & has been all day long. I, once again will have no chance seeing the moon & stars shining in the sky tonight but that is ok because I will whisper to you as I always do each night. Mom also knows that when I don't see you shining bright for me to see you are somewhere shining for someone else who needs it more. I truly believe this with all my heart. It makes me proud to know that you are somewhere, everywhere doing so many wonderful things & learning all kinds of new things for your next journey. I remember what you told me through the reading & that was you were where you are to learn for the next journeys & Mom was still here to learn more & do more so I can help for my next journeys..... our journeys together again. Thinking about that makes my heart full. It makes me smile to know that we will be together again & have another journey together. Mom has been wanting another reading with Forrest so bad & every time I get ready to get in touch with him something comes up & I can't. I hope that when all this stuff... studying, exam, car registration, etc.... is done I can have another one. I hope that you come through again for Mom. I have so many questions to ask you. So many things I wonder about all the time. Guess I need to know what you are doing, how you are doing....after all I still need to check in with you.... I am your Mom! 
 Hope that your evening is all that you need & want it to be. Get some rest & Mom hopes you have sweet dreams. Come see me in my dreams tonight my sweet precious son. Remember you are forever in my heart, mind & soul. You are forever my hero & my wind beneath my wings. Fly high, Tyler. Tell everyone with you that Mom says hello & she loves & misses them. Thank you!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
