Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday night? Mom is doing ok. I am sorry that I didn't write to you last night but as you could see I was under the weather. Mom was in bed at 8 pm last night & honestly I didn't sleep at all as I was up with the pups as the wind here was awful & the rain was just coming down hard. Mom won't be able to write a long letter tonight either as we are getting extremely bad weather right now. It is suppose to only get worse as the night goes on & not stop until sometime Wednesday morning. The rain is heavy, it is sometimes sleeting & then other times it stops everything. The wind is around 35 - 40 mph at this time but will later get to 60 + mph. The weather stated that we will be in " hurricane " like situation. Mom would be lying if I told you I was not scared. I have been home all day by myself but now Mark is home. I know you are with me as well. Please watch over us all. Everyone in NH will be getting 8 - 10" of snow from this storm as well. Thank you my sweet precious son. I miss you so much & I wish Mom could express just how much but I know you feel it so that is what matters to me. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. You are my hero & always will be. You are Mom's wind beneath my wings. You forever live in my heart, mind, body & soul. Please never not feel this. That would tear Mom apart. We are so connected that I always want it to remain that way. Mom is hoping that you evening will be peaceful doing all things that you need & want to do. May you be able to come & be with Mom so that I can get some sleep tonight. I surely do need it. Thank you pumpkin. 
 Mom really doesn't have much for updates for you since the weekend was very quiet. I did chat with Meme & Aunt Beck. That made me happy as she is taking off on Wednesday morning for her trip. I am hoping to hear from her once she gets settled but there will not be any communication until after she is back in the States. I hope you will be with her as well. Hope she knows it too so she can tell me about it when we chat in a month. We skyped with Tubal & Karen last night. They are doing good. Mark spoke to his brother, Ellis. They are all well. Stacy is doing well in her recovery & so is Bill, her father. So I guess I would say all in all everyone is holding their own & are just really busy as Mark & Mom are. I finished up my 2nd lesson in my class. I received a 100 on my quiz. My next lesson starts on Wednesday so I am ready for it. It is on the Respiratory System....one I am very familiar with for sure. I know I will do pretty good in that. I think that's all I have for you but here are the 2 daily prayers I need to catch up on again: January 22: Lead me in your truth & teach me for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all day long. Sometimes you seem silent when I'm begging for answers, Lord. Sometimes your silence seems like absence but I know you are here. I know you are present with me & your silence is neither a no nor a yes answer. In your silence, you call me to wait for you--- to wait for your timing ahead. So I'll sit still. I'll learn to wait for your timing & to learn to trust you when I can't see what's ahead. So I'll sit still. I'll learn to wait patiently & appreciate the peace of your presence, knowing that you hold the past, present & future in your hands. The truth is that I don't really need answers, Lord. I need you. Thank you for reminding me with your silence what is really necessary. I can rest in you while I wait. We can always find God in the " waiting room " of our life, where he often has been waiting a long time for us to begin seeking him. Amen.
 January 23~Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to you steadfast love remember me. May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through & through. May your whole spirit, soul & body be kept blameless at calls you is faithful & he will do it......The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. The Lord's lovingkindness indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Thy faithfulness. Amen.
 Mom is caught up again. I am going to get going now as the weather just seems to be getting worse. That wind sounds terrible. I will write to you again tomorrow night & give you some quotes from me as I haven't done that in a few days. I will whisper to you later so be listening for me. I will smile & hope you will too. Good night & sweet dreams, Tyler. My love for you is unconditional. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
