Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Mom is doing better than I was yesterday. I have a little bit of a headache but not a whole lot now. Mom is still having trouble with adjusting to the temp changes & all the parts of my face hurts where the bones were broken & where Snickers bit Mom. I am sure that I will be feeling better in a day or two. I am also sure that Aunt Beck will work her magic as well. 
 Storm Benji has came & left. The snow started at 8 am yesterday morning & it went until about 7 am this morning. We did not get a lot of the snow they were saying we would. I think we got about 5" so we lucked out this time for sure. The temps are very cold though. The snow looks pretty on the trees. Mom took pictures this morning when Mark & I went out to do grocery shopping. Glad I did as the snow basically melted off this afternoon. Mom noticed that when we were coming home. Guess the sun was nice enough to do that. Now it just needs to melt the rest away...lol! Where Aunt Jacqui lives they were suppose to just get a dusting of snow & they ended up with the same amount as us. This whole storm pretty much double the snow totals than what everyone was suppose to get. It went from Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana & right up through Kentucky, Tennessee & then hit the entire East Coast. It was a pretty wide storm. Crazy. There are two more storms that might hit this week & then the following week there is potential to have another one right before Christmas. The Farmers Almanac said it would be a cold brutal winter with a lot of snow. I sure do hope that it not true. A nice mild winter would be really nice for once! Guess time will tell on the other storms lurking. I will keep you posted. 
 Last night was fun for Mark & I. we had a Christmas movie playing in the back ground while drinking raspberry hot cocoa & decorating our gingerbread house. The hot cocoa was delicious but the ginger bread house was a complete disaster...lol. We tried our best & failed miserably at it but we were laughing the whole time. Something was definitely wrong with the icing that was in the tube. It may have been old but not sure. When we went shopping today we got another to try tonight. we are calling it our redemption gingerbread house. Hope this one comes out better! Later, Mom & Mark will have dinner & then watch the movie The Polar Express. Neither of us have ever seen it. Then it will be time to go to bed as tomorrow is Monday & it is back to work for Mark & more studying for Mom. Can you do me a favor? Can you be with Mark tomorrow? He shared with Mom something that was really bothering him since Friday. I don't understand the logic of it because I know everything that he has done but I feel horrible that this is happening to him. He busts his butt all the time & doesn't deserve to be treated like this from anyone. He will be having a conversation with his boss tomorrow. Can you be with him so that all will go well & better than what he thinks? It would mean a lot to Mom. Thank you my sweet precious son. He has Mom worried a bit & I know he is just as worried. Mom doesn't have any other updates as this weekend was quiet with the phone but fun for a change for us here. I will give you updates to everything as I know of things happening. Here is a prayer for the day though:
 Prayer for Clarity: Dear heavenly father, give me clarity, of my mind, heart & spirit. Let me see things for how they are, as you see them. Let me see my situation with, Your eyes, with the eyes of Christ. Take away my fears & emotions & may your Spirit shrine through. In your clarity, I find peace, strength & direction. When my eye is clear, I see where there is hurt, so I can show compassion. I see where there is no sin, so I can give mercy. I know how to protect my heart from those that might harm me. When my eye is clear, I see the great work, Christ did for us all. By taking all the sin upon him, then rising up victoriously. Jesus is my King & Savior. This is my clarity. This is my home. In his holy name, Amen.
 Here are a couple sayings for the day as well:
 Temporary people give permanent lessons.
 Distance yourself from people who: 1. Lie to you. 2. Disrespect you. 3. Use you. 4. Put you down.
 You get what you focus on, so focus on what you want!
 The night sky is upon us already. It is 4:15 pm. The sky is looking clear for now so maybe just maybe I will get to see the moon shining tonight. That doesn't happen much lately. If I see if I will be sure to smile to you & whisper to you again. I already lit the candle for the night & whispered to you, did you here Mom? I smiled to you. Hope you are smiling back to me. Mom hopes your evening will be filled with everything that you need it to be & may want it to be. Come be with Mom tonight so that I can get some much needed sleep. Last night I was awake because of the snow plows. They were under the window until 3 am. I got about 3 hours of sleep. Thank you pumpkin. Mom misses you so much. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. You are & always will be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You are forever inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then good night & sweet dreams my bright shining star. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
