Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Saturday evening? Mom is doing ok...better than I have all week but still not 100%....getting there though! I actually went out for about 3 hours today & ran errands & did grocery shopping. Last night we got more snow & we are in for another storm Monday & Wednesday this week. Between the 2 we will be getting about another 2 feet of snow. This is just crazy. Nothing just a week ago & now all this.... February can go away now as it seems to be the month we get all the snow.....lol! Mom did laundry & vacuumed the apartment as well... the most I have done in over a week. It felt good to do it all so I will not be complaining one bit. I have to get dinner prepped in a few minutes but I wanted to write to you real quick. 
 Last night was quiet. Mark & Mom watched TV for about 3 hours & then called it a night as we were both kinda tired. I think tonight will be another early night for us both as Mark is now not feeling well again. This sickness can leave anytime & stay away from us. Seems like he gets it, then I do & he gets it again.... I don't want it for a 2nd time so it needs to leave permanently! Mom just got done taking some cold medicine & waiting for it to kick in. Hopefully it will make me feel a little better soon. Again, anything that you can do to help Mom out & now Mark again will be great! If Aunt Beck is reading this at all...please help us! We need your healing work...thank you! 
 The telephone has been ringing off the hook the last couple days but no one who we want to talk to. It is all telemarketers trying to sell stuff. It gets old so I don't even bother picking it up anymore. I will try & reach out to our family tomorrow when I get home from doing other errands & getting my nails done. I think we have a skype call as well with Tubal & Karen but I am not sure. Either way I hope to have some updates for you as I have had zero for you all week. Anyways... I do have the daily prayer for you. Here it is: February 11~ Happy are those who make the Lord their trust, who do not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after false gods. Precious Lord, their are various " false gods " in this world & I'll admit that I have strayed after some of them. Money is a big one. I keep thinking that my problems will be solved if I just get enough money, but that's not true, is it? I chase after pleasure & success & entertainment as if they gave my life meaning. My house, my car or my closet might as well be " graven images. " But you continue to remind me that these things don't bring ultimate satisfaction. You are the only God worth trusting. I find fulfillment only in you. You shall have no other gods before me. Amen.
 Mom doesn't have a quote for you today but I have a song lyric that I remember having you listen to when you would get upset or sad. I would tell you that everything would be fine & to trust in me & God. Here are the words..... Don't laugh at me, don't call me names, don't get your pleasure from my pain....in God's eyes we're all the same, someday we'll all have perfect wings....don't laugh at me. I bet you remember that don't you? Such a great song & powerful statement. Wish this world Mom lives in would be kinder to all but it just keeps getting worse. It is sad. Mom misses you so much but honestly I am glad that you don't have to deal with all this anymore. I know you are free & happy. This makes Mom smile but breaks my heart all at the same time. You know how I feel....you feel it in your soul. Mom is trying every day to understand it all. Some days are better than others but not many. 
 Mom hopes hat you have a wonderful evening filled with all the things you would like to do & need to do. Come be with me tonight if you can. Mom would love that & I always need you by my side. Thank you my sweet precious son. You live forever in my heart, mind, body & soul. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. Mom will whisper to you later tonight so be listening out for my voice. I will smile & hope you will be as well. 
 I have to go make dinner now....I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Until then..... good night & sweet dreams. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

P.S. Just reminding you that today is your Dad's Birthday. Hope you go visit him. Love you pumpkin xoxoxo.
