Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Storm Stella 2017 is finished & we survived it all. Thank you for watching over us & keeping us safe. We, here ended up with very high winds, 5" of snow & a whole lot of rain. Mom thought that with all the rain we had it would have melted a lot of the snow we got but it didn't. Instead it froze it all. Today is a sunny but very cold day. The next couple days will be just sunny with clouds but over the weekend we will be getting another snow storm. This is just crazy as all winter it was pretty mild & then bam....all kinds of snow coming the week before Spring. Meme was saying that they got 16" of snow where they are. Holy Hannah..... that is a lot for them. Grandpa said that it was windy there as well & the snow was juts so heavy. I wish he ( and Meme ) would hire someone to do the plowing & shoveling for them. I hate the thought of them doing it all. It is just too much for them now but like Mom ( and you ) they are stubborn! 
 Mom is writing to you now because I am not feeling the greatest & I am going to be going back to bed to try & fell better. I know you saw what happened this morning here & I am sorry you had to witness that. I think that is why I am not feeling all that well.... my head hurts like crazy from all the hard, heavy crying I did. My body is just cold & miserable at this point. I am going to go cuddle up in bed & get warm & maybe just watch a little TV. If I fall asleep I do & if not at least I am relaxing. If you can be with me that would be great as I always need you near. Thanks Tyler! 
 Mom really has not updates for you at all. Did you see that yesterday afternoon I did a painting? I am sure you were probably right there with me, by my side helping Mom. I think it came out pretty good....at least for my 1st try at this one. It was Mom's version of the Enchanted Rose from Beauty & the Beast....my favorite movie! I will post a picture of it on here for you to see. Hope it makes you smile. I miss drawing & painting. Mom is thinking about picking it back up. You got that from Mom....Meme & Pepe as well. Maybe one day I will be as half as good as you were. Anyways.... here is the daily prayer for the day: March 15~ The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous & his ears are open to their cry. What a comfort to realize that you, dear Lord, always have your eyes & ears open, not just in a general way, but specifically to watch over me & to listen for my cries! There have been times in my life when I thought of you as being indifferent toward me. There have been times when I've even thought you were rejecting me. But I realize now how wrong I was---that it was just my small perspective leading me to those wrong conclusions. I rejoice today in your attentiveness toward me & in faith I will look to you & call out to you throughout this day & every day. The God who is attentive to every detail of our lives---even down to the trivial, such as knowing the number of hairs on our heads at any given moment---will not fail to give his loving attention to the things that most deeply concern us. Amen.
 Here is day 3 of the inner peace cards: The Kingdom of Heaven is within me. Once you have learned how to enter your inner kingdom, you have a special retreat within that is always available to you. Mom is still working on this process. I think I always will. It doesn't come natural to me. Baby steps... move forward & not back. One day I will get it.
 Mom is going to go lay down as I am really not feeling well at all. I hope that your night is all that you need & want it to be my sweet precious son. I will whisper to you later tonight. I will smile & hope you will too. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You are my everything. You forever live within my heart, mind, body & soul. I miss you more than words can say & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. Come visit Mom tonight in my dreams if you can. I would love that. Thanks! Until tomorrow...good night & sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
