Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Mom is having a hard day today. Guess it is just one of those days where the tears just want to fall no matter what I am doing or saying to anyone. It could be the weather that we are having...snow again...shocker...NOT or it probably is that a couple days ago someone said something to me that hurt my feelings very deeply. I know they were not trying to be mean about it but it stung & it stung really hard. I know you know what I am talking about. It is a very sensitive subject for Mom & it has been for quite some time now. Please help me to get over the pain & help me to figure out what I need to do. I need your help Tyler. Thank you.
 Mark was pretty busy this morning. It went into the office to do some things for work, then ran a few errands as tomorrow is April 1st & then he went & got my vehicle inspected as today was the last day it was legal. Now he is right back at work until 5 pm where after he can relax for a couple days over the weekend. Mom was kind of busy as well. I was up early & tended to he pups, got everything ready for Mark before he left...coffee, lunch, snacks, etc... then I eat breakfast, started to prep for dinner tonight as it will take quite a while to cook tonight, made 2 loaves of homemade banana bread & then finally got ready. I also did housework for a little bit & now I am writing to you. Mom needs the weekend to just sit back & relax as well. This week has been long & very busy. I am tired. Mark & Mom do not have any plans at all so that is wonderful. It will be doing light things or nothing at all. The weather today is snow, sleet, freezing rain & will continue on into tomorrow morning. We are only suppose to get a couple inches of snow but up North where we just were for 3 days is getting slammed with snow....that heavy, wet snow. They are suppose to get anywhere from 10 - 12". Mother Nature is playing a cruel joke on everyone as it is April Fools Day tomorrow. We are 2 weeks unto Spring & still getting winter weather. The temps have been brutally cold as well. Maybe we will get to have a longer Summer & fall this year & a short winter next year. Just like everything else...time will tell.
 Mom doesn't have any updates for you at all as I did not talk to anyone last night. I sent Aunt Beck a text message to see how they are but I haven't received a response yet. I am sure they are enjoying there road trip & being thankful for missing this storm...lol. I did chat with Meme on her lunch break... I just remembered that. All is well with them. I also spoke to Auntie Kristina. She is doing well. She listened to Mom just be sad about many things. It was nice to talk to someone about it without being judged at all. She told Mom that I was beautiful inside & out. I said thank you even though I do not believe it. I know that is sad to say but Mom is just being honest. Maybe over the weekend I will have updates for you as I know I will not be chatting with anyone tonight as they will be busy shoveling or snow blowing. I know you will watch over them & keep them safe so thank you, Tyler.
 Here is the daily prayer for today: March 31~ For the Lord loves justice; he will not forsake his faithful ones. The righteous shall be kept safe forever. Harm may come knocking at my door, dear Father, but I will not be destroyed by it, because you keep me safe. Darkness may fall on my circumstances, but I will not be lost in it, because you will not forsake me. Evil may seek me out, but I will not be swallowed up by it, because you come to my aid. Loving Father, you will keep me safe now & forever because I am yours. If I believe God will keep me safe forever, what can my suffering in this life mean? It can only mean that I am not yet home. But God is faithfully leading me there to my eternal haven, keeping me safe from abandoning the path along the way through this sometimes painful but temporal journey. Amen.
 Here is Day 18 of the inner peace cards: I create my reality with my thoughts. You create your thoughts, your thoughts create your intentions & your intentions create your reality. Mom just reread this & I guess I better start understanding that this is correct & very true. Reading this is an eye opener for Mom will things that she is going through & dealing with at this time in her life. Maybe I needed this as a reminder. 
 Well, it is that time of the day where Mom needs to get going & finish prepping things for dinner & get the pups fed for the night. Hopefully Ms. Princess will eat as she has not been wanting to the last few days/nights. Mom hopes that you have a peaceful night flying high & floating on the clouds while you watch over us all. I hope you get to do all that you want & need to do. Mom will whisper to you later this evening. Be listening & smile when you hear my voice. I will try to smile as well. Come visit me in my dreams tonight if you can while I try to sleep. I miss you so much. My heart hurts all the time. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You will forever live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Until tomorrow night..... good night & sweet dreams my sweet precious son.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
