Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday night? Happy St. Patrick's Day to you my sweet precious son. I hope you are somewhere celebrating that you were ( are ) Irish & having a green beer. Maybe you are in Ireland seeing all the festivities that are taking place today. I don't know but hopefully wherever you may be you are smiling & laughing. Hopefully you are sharing this day with Pepe as today is his 27 Angelversary. Yep... that is right...27 years ago he chose this to be his day that he would leave us all & go to the heavens above. he got & rightfully earned his Angel wings. He is missed so very much. I think about him every single day just as I do you & Nana too. Please tell him that I love him so much. Give him big hugs & kisses from Mom as well. Thanks Tyler. It sure does mean a lot to Mom. 
 Sorry that I didn't get the chance to write to you yesterday. Mom had every intention of doing so but my laptop decided that was not going to happen. I went to sign into it & had seen that the computer just crashed. Wouldn't do anything...nothing. Black screen, no mouse, nothing. I waited for Mark to get home & we went to the recovery site & it stated that the hard drive crashed. Mom was pretty upset as I will be starting my certification exam on Monday & I need to have one computer to take the test on & another one to use as reference. Mom had to go out & order a new laptop today. It will take 10 days to get to me. Not much else I could do. So I am sorry for not writing but that is why. Also, for the 1st time in like 1 1/2 years Mom went out & did some painting. It was called a Sip & Paint Bar. You have adult beverages while you paint a step by step painting done with an instructor. It was really so much fun. It was offered here where we live & we took advantage of it. I got to meet some of my neighbors & share some laughs. It felt good. Mom & Mark did not do the painting the way everyone else did though. Mom had to be different & try something new. I think it came out pretty good. Lots of people commented on it. When I got back home I was looking at the picture & said that you must have been with me as it was very Tim Burton (ish). Black, Gray, White with Red & Burgundy in it. I will get a picture of it & post it on here for you in tomorrows letter. I think that you will be pretty happy at what Mom got to do.
 The weather today was the same as it has been for the last week...cloudy, dark, gray, & rainy. Weather stated that we were going to get heavy rains tonight & we will be in for a snow storm Sunday into Monday. By the looks of it we could get anywhere between 6-12" of snow. This is just nuts. The weather this winter has been so crazy & off the charts with it being so mild. I really hope that this storm passes us as it is looking like a very heavy & wet snow.Not happy about this but we will have to wait & see. Mom knows once again that I will not be seeing anything shining in the sky tonight but I know you are shining bright for someone in this world that needs it. Mom will whisper to you as I always do so be listening out for my voice. Mom is hoping that you have a restful evening doing all that you want & need to. I hope later if you can you get some rest though. Slow down & close those beautiful eyes of yours. Sweet dreams my sweet son. Come see me in my dreams tonight as well. Thanks pumpkin.
 Mom doesn't have any updates for you as I did not talk to anyone last night. Chatted with Auntie Kristina today & another friend on the phone. Mom's friend wanted me to tell you hello & to thank you for watching over him & his family when he needed it the most. He got a job & will be starting it on Monday. He had to do a few tests & background check. All cam back good & clear. I am so happy for him. Power of pray really works. I truly believe that. Thank you for all you do for Mom , our family & friends. It truly means so much to each & every one of us. 
 Before I end this letter I have the 2 daily prayers that I need to catch up on. Here they are. March 16~ And we have known & believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God & God in him. Love. It seems so simple. Love is a gift given. Yet, if we don't overlook it, Lord, we treat it like a gift certificate saved so long it expires. We are down-on-our-knees grateful your gifts of love & grace never expire. Nudge us to use them, for we lose their value each day they go unclaimed. We stay disconnected from you, the one source of all creation. To connect only requires a " Yes! " from us. Hear us shout! Amen.
 March 17~ I am Alpha & Omega, the beginning & the ending, saith the Lord, which is, & which was & which is to come, the Almighty. Lord, you know all things, from beginning to end, for you are the eternal, all knowing God. I don't need to fear what is yet to come because I belong to you & you have given me the gift of eternal life. I come to you today to be refreshed by your presence & your Word. Amen.
 Mom is caught up once again. I miss you so much, Tyler. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Remember you are forever in my heart, mind & soul. You are my hero & my wind beneath my wings. Good night.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
