Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Saturday late afternoon? Mom is doing alright. I am so sorry that I didn't get the chance to write to you last night. Honestly, there were a couple of reasons. One Mom did not get done studying until late last night. Mark even finished up making dinner for me so I could finish up & second...Mom was really not in any mood to write or be on the computer at all. Yesterday was just a day that was hard for me because it was 2 years ago that we lost Snickers. Mom had a tough morning when I woke up & remembered that. Snickers was your dog but boy he stole my heart. He was by my side for 8 years. The way everything happened & the way he left us was so sudden & so sad for Mom. I literally lost the last thing that belonged to you. I know that after the reading with Forrest Snickers & Max are both with you & are happy like you too. That makes me smile a bit knowing that. Just writing to you about it now is making me teary eyed so I think I better stop. Please just keep giving them both kisses & hugs from Mom. Keep continuing to get the kisses I blow to you every morning & every night. Anyways.... 
 The weather yesterday was so cold & snowy. Today it was sunny but only 15 degrees & with that wind it was -10 degrees. Mom & Mark went out for a short time but it was just so dang cold we came back home after a couple of hours. Tomorrow it is going to be just as bad but even colder. We are in for a blizzard Tuesday & Wednesday. The snow will be heavy & we should get about 2 feet when it is all said & done & the winds will be brutal as well. They are saying 40 -45 mph with gusts up to 50+. I am not going to lie, Mom is a little scared at this storm. Please watch over us as all this is going on. Please keep us all safe & please let us keep electricity through it all. It will be too cold to loose power. Thank you, Tyler. 
 Mom doesn't really have any updates for you as this whole week has been very quiet around here. The phone has barely rung. I did speak to Meme the other night & I just got off the phone with her just now. Things are going ok with them. Her vehicle is still being worked on from her accident a couple weeks ago but she is doing much better. I am so happy about that! Grandpa & Debbie are well. Aunt Beck will be heading out on Monday for their month long trip to Arizona. They are getting out at the right time...before this storm hits. Please watch over them...thanks Ty! Remember that tomorrow the 12th is Aunt Beck's Birthday so be sure to go say hello! I know she would love that from you! That is all I have for you tonight. Here are the 2 daily prayers I need catching up on.... March 10~ He loves righteousness & justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the land. My heavenly Father, thank you for surrounding me with all the blessings that flow from your love in action---in this world & in my life. As I move through this day, cause me to walk in your righteousness & justice. May your steadfast love steady me as I reach out, not only to those who will be appreciative of your grace but also to those who will not be. For the glory of your name, I pray. Amen. He has showed you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly & to love mercy & to walk humbly with your God. Amen.
 March 11~ The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him & delivers them. Dear Lord, I'm humbled by all the ways you guard my life. I have seen your intervention come when I've needed it & I know without a doubt that you are watching over me. You even send your ministering angels to bring a unique kind of watching care when I need it. Fill my heart with faith in your ability to deliver me from harm by whatever means you choose. Angels do not seek our praise, our worship, or our prayers. Such things belong to the Creator. Amen. 
 Mom is again caught up. Here are a couple sayings I have for you tonight.... When thinking about life, remember this...No amount of guilt can solve the past & no amount of anxiety can change the future. 
 You are a rainbow in someone else's cloud. Both of these are so true. The 1st saying I wish I knew about when you were here with Mom because I would have read it to you every day! The 2nd one you were always that to Mom! I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings! You will forever live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom hopes you have a fun night doing all the things you need to & want to do. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. I would love that. I will whisper to you as I always do later tonight. Hope I get to see the moon shining bright like I did last night. It was so pretty. I took a picture of it so I will post it on here tomorrow for you. Be listening for my voice & smile when you hear Mom. I will smile too. I need to get going so that I can feed the pups & get dinner going for us. It's that time of night again...lol! I will be back tomorrow to write to you again. Until then....good night & sweet dreams my sweet precious son. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
