Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Mom is doing just fine. Got a lot accomplished today so that felt good. I did some housework, laundry, prepped dinner this afternoon & then I got a few leads for some CEUs that I can do to get this done & over with. Mom also was able to pay off her 2nd college course in full so now I am down to just paying the last one off. It was such a great feeling to do that! Made me very happy. We get to save a little money each month so that's good too.... that makes Mark happy...lol! Looks like I will be ready to rock n roll starting Monday with the website I found. Hopefully I can knock them all out & get these all done within a week or so, so I can get back to my college studies. I have faith that I can so that's what matters most, right? 
 Mom woke up this morning to it snowing sideways...ugh! It has been so old today as well. I guess the whole weekend is suppose to be crappy with lots of heavy snow. I guess we were not lucky to escape this winter storm Helena like we were suppose to. Oh well...nothing we can do about it though after all it is the going on the 2nd week of January. We really have been lucky. I am very thankful that this weekend Mark & Mom don't really have much to do except go grocery shopping. We have no appointments to be at so that is nice for a change. That doesn't happen very often. The sky has been gray & cloudy all day so guess what that means....Mom will not be seeing anything shining in the sky. It doesn't matter though because I will whisper to you as I always do. Be listening out for my voice. Smile please & I will do the same for you my sweet precious son. 
 Last night, Mom watched a movie called Miracles From Heaven.... oh my.., I don't know what I was thinking. I am so glad I was watching it alone. I think I cried through the whole thing. I cried so much that I gave myself a headache. It just brought me back to all the times & struggles that we had to face. I know you saw Mom & was with me. I am so sorry for acting the way I did but Mom couldn't help it. I didn't even know it was based on a true story either. It showed the real family at the end. That made Mom cry even more. Guess I just needed to have a good cry & boy did I ever. After that Mom went to bed as I was so tired too. I don't think I really slept all that well either though. I tossed & turned & was up a lot so hopefully I will sleep better tonight. I sure could use a good night sleep. Can you please be with me so I can have one of those nights, Ty? Thank you.
 Mom spoke to Meme today when she called on her lunch break. She made me laugh so hard that I had tears running down my face. What she told me wasn't funny but she was laughing....so.... I guess she was telling me that Bob has an appointment on Monday. Hope it is a good one! Mark & Mom got to speak to Aunt Beck last night as well. She thought we were funny. Mom was in a good mood & was singing & laughing. Guess that is a rare thing for people to hear or see these days. I would have to agree with them too though. Things are well on their end. Aunt Beck has a couple weeks before she heads off to South America so I am sure she is very busy. I am sure i will touch base with Grandpa at some point over the weekend as well & we will speak to Mark's side of the family as well. We were just told that Tubal had surgery & that is why we haven't had a chance to skype with them in almost a month. We wish we could have known before hand but we respect that way they chose to do it. Glad he is doing well though. Well shall see though on Sunday. That's all I got for updates for you tonight.... more over the weekend though!
 Here is the daily prayer for January 6~ Those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you. Dear Heavenly father, you could give me no better comfort or assurance today than the promise that you, yourself, will remain with me. I can go forward into any situation or encounter----into the unknown, the dreaded, the eagerly anticipated.....indeed, anything!-----And I know that you will go with me through it. And then, on the other side of it, you'll still be there, ready to lead me onward. How good is it to belong to you & be kept safe by you! Abide with me----fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens---Lord, with me abide! When other helpers fail & comforts flee, Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me! Amen.
 Here is mom's quote for the day as well: " One of the simplest ways to stay happy is....letting go of the things that make you sad....."  This is such a simple quote but has so much for us all to think about. Mom was looking at everything on here... Mom has done 3800 posts & I have 30,790 views. Mom has followers in United States, France, Germany, Portugal, Poland, Phillippines, India, United Arab Emirates & Ukraine. It makes me happy to be able to help others along their way if that is what I am doing...if not & everyone just views my letters to you...well that is ok too. Thank you all for continuing to read my letters to Tyler. Blessings to you all.
 Well, Ty it is that time of the night again where I have to get going & get dinner going & feed the pups. Hope your night is everything you want & need to do. Come visit & be with Mom if you can. Thanks pumpkin! Have fun & fly high & free. Good night & sweet dreams. Until tomorrow.... I miss you & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You live forever in my heart, mind & soul. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
