Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday evening? Mom is so sorry that she didn't write to you last night but again I was studying all day & the later that night I was in pain & couldn't even concentrate on anything. I actually just laid in bed & stared at whatever Mark was watching on TV for the night. I think I finally fell asleep around midnight or 1 am. I slept until 9 am this morning. I haven't done that in months. Guess my body was really needing it. Mom took today to do all kinds of things that needed to get done while Mark was on conference calls all day long. I am about to go make dinner but I wanted to write to you really quick. 
 Mom saw the prettiest sunset yesterday morning. It was so gorgeous. I took pictures of it because I was just so taken back by that. The 1st thing I thought of was that you gave me that so I could get through the day. I was up at 6 am yesterday as well because we had received a phone call from Mark's brother. So on top of everything else I was going through I was so tired. I have to say that being up that early was so worth seeing that. It was dark pink, light pink, dark orange & peach....just breath taking. Thank you for that my sweet precious son. I sure did smile when I saw that. Not sure if I will see the stars or moon tonight as last night we got more snow & the weather today was so cloudy. I will look anyways as I always do & I will whisper to you so be listening out for my voice. Smile & I will too. 
 Mark spoiled Mom like crazy on Valentines Day for sure. I was so surprised at all the things that were given to me. I was literally shocked because usually we just go out to dinner but this year he got Mom 24 long stem roses, a dozen balloons, 2 stuffed animals of Thumper & Ms. Bunny ( my favorite Disney character! ) a beautiful gold necklace & ring & a Swarovski enchanted rose from Beauty & the Beast ( my favorite Disney movie! ) He did amazing huh? Mom had a rough day on Valentines so I couldn't even really enjoy anything but I managed to smile & give hugs to him for all that. He knew I was feeling really tough for sure! Mom did whisper & talk to you throughout the day so I hope you heard me. I even asked you to be my Valentine as I always did. Hope that made you smile because that was Mom's intent. I will always ask you to be my Valentine...every year! 
 Mom has no updates for you at all as the last 10 days I have not wanted to talk on the phone or do anything since I was under the weather.  would just let the phone ring. I do know that Grandpa & Debbie are well because Mark spoke to him the other night for me. They are just really busy with working & shoveling all this crappy snow we keep getting. They got another 6" of it last night too. February has been slamming us hard again with snow. The storm last night was called Pluto.... the 4th one in a row in 3 weeks with a name. It is crazy! Meme & Bob are doing well too. She called today for a brief minute while she was on lunch break. I miss them all so much. I haven't seen them now since Christmas.... that was almost 2 months ago. It is saddening on how time is just flying by. Aunt Beck will be home next week from her trip.... that month sure did fly by! That is all I got for you today but I do have the daily prayer for you. Here they are: February 15~ Those who love me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know my name. Jesus, the very thought of thee with sweetness fills my breast, but sweeter far thy face to see & in thy presence rest. O hope of every contrite heart, O joy of all the meek, To those who fall, how kind thou art! How good to those who seek!..... Jesus, our only joy be thou, as thou our prize wilt be. Jesus, be thou our glory now & through eternity. Love has hands to help others. It has feet to hasten to the poor & needy. It has eyes to see misery & want. It has ears to hear the signs & sorrow of men. This is what love looks like. Amen.
 February 16~ O grant us help against the foe, for human help is worthless. People has consistently let me down. Lord & I'm tired of it. I feel hurt right now & I need your help. I'm not saying I'm perfectly dependable myself; I'm only human, but my problems require a higher level of assistance. Will you bring your divine power & wisdom into my situation? Give me strength against laziness & complacency. Help me fight the temptations that pull me down. Quiet the naysayers. Calm the backbiters. Grant me the determination & confidence I need to do your work in this world. All the people are grass, their constancy is like the flower of the field..... The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand forever. Amen.
 I am caught up again. Here is Mom's quote for the day as well: " Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age & dreams are forever. " Well said by the famous Walt Disney. Well, Ty.... Mom needs to get going so I can feed the pups & get dinner going for Mark & I. I hope that you have a peaceful night doing all the things you need & want to do. Come visit Mom if you can. I would love that so much. Please continue to watch over us all like I know you do. Thank you. I miss you so much & Mom loves you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You will forever live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Until tomorrow..... good night & sweet dreams. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
