Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Mom is writing to you now instead of later because Mark & I have a skype call with Tubal & Karen tonight & Mom has some things she needs to get done this afternoon before that call happens. Last night Mark's friend Rick got here about 9 pm. We had a very late dinner & chatted with him while watching some TV & the guys had a couple drinks. Mom went to bed around 11 pm & was surprised that I slept in until 9 am. The pups didn't even wake us up at all. Mom made the big breakfast that I said I would for us all. After that I cleaned up all the dishes while the guys visited & then Rick had to get going around 12 noon to Rhode Island. Right now I had to go through all my accounts & change a lot of security things as Mark & Mom's credit card was compromised sometime yesterday & this morning. This has happened before & we are both getting so tired of it....ugh! The company deactivated our card & will be sending us new ones sometime this week. It is such a pain in the butt not to mention the money that these companies stole from us. Hopefully it will all be resolved soon.
 As far as updates for you Mom doesn't have any as it is the afternoon & Grandpa is working & so is Debbie. Meme & Bob are home & I will call them in a little bit to just check in on them. Aunt Beck & John should be somewhere South by now in the warm weather.....lucky them. Today for us it is cloudy, very windy & it is suppose to snow later today into the evening. Lucky us...NOT! Mom will have some updates for you possibly tomorrow or the next day. This is a crazy week for Mark with work & it will be crazy for Mom trying to keep up with it all. Our sleep patterns are going to be messed up as well so neither of us are looking forward to it. Let's just get this week over with & get to the weekend again...not to mention the following week we will be gone to NH again! Please watch over us all during this week like I know you always do. Mom thanks you for everything all the time. I hope you hear Mom when I do. I appreciate it so much.
 Here is the daily prayer for today: March 19~ For the Lord is righteous, he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face. The promise of being face to face with you one day, dear Lord, is something I hold tightly to in this life of ups & downs. Tight now I must take all that I know about you on faith. There is resting on solid ground, but still I cannot wait for the day when what I have faith in becomes visible. I want to behold the one who fashioned me in my mother's womb, who saved me with his own life & who has cares for me by his great love. I want to see you & embrace you. How I love you! Only faintly now I see Him, with the darkling veil between; but a blessed day is coming when His glory shall be seen. Face to face shall I behold him, Far beyond the starry sky; Face to face in all His glory, I shall see Him by & by. Amen.
 Here is Day 7 of the inner peace cards: I love myself----body, mind & soul. When you are at peace with yourself & love yourself it is virtually impossible to be self-destructive. I guess that is a true statement but I can't say for sure as Mom is not there yet. I have never been there & not sure I ever will. I see way too many flaws. I see so many things wrong with myself. I hear what others say about me & I always say that I am nothing special... I am " just me. " Sometimes I like myself & other times I don't. Honestly there are more times that I don't than do. I guess this is something that I really need to work on. Something that needs to change because really it is not alright or ok. I promise I will start to do this for you but also more for myself. 
 The wind is just crazy. It is whipping outside. I hope that everything will be ok. Mom is going to get going to do all the things I would like to do so I can be done by the time I need to feed the pups & make dinner. I hope that you have a wonderful night doing all the things you would like to do & need to do. have fun while Mom sleeps tonight & come visit me if you can. Be by my side as well. Thank you my sweet precious son. I miss you like crazy & I love you more than words can say. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. You are & always will be my true hero & the wind beneath my wings. I will whisper to you later tonight so smile when you hear Mom & I will smile back to you. Until tomorrows letter....good night & sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

P.S. Today is Auntie Ann's Birthday. Make sure to go sneak by & wish her a good day!
