Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Saturday afternoon? Well Mom is doing okay. Storm Benji has arrived & it has been snowing now for about 2 hours. We have been watching the weather closely as everything that they are predicting has been double the amount. With this storm even Texas where Mom lived & all through the South they are getting over a foot of snow & it is still snowing there. Houston only got 4 or 5" & it is already melted. I guess we are suppose to get 4-6" now but time will only tell. Mom was up early this morning. I made muffins for breakfast, doing laundry, got ready & just took the pups for a walk. The ground is really wet as the snow is not sticking there yet but it will in a matter of time as it is now sticking to the trees & grass. Mom wanted to write to you now just incase. I think we will be fine but I wanted to be safe than sorry. 
 Last night was quiet. No one called so Mark & Mom had a very simple dinner & then we watch a couple of our shows. Mom went to bed around 10 pm or so & slept okay but I could really use a night of solid sleep. If you can tonight, could you please be with Mom? Thank you my sweet precious son. Today will be a day that we are staying in. Mark is playing on his computer right now but later he will be wrapping gifts as Mom is making out the Christmas cards. Later we will have dinner & then we are going to put the gingerbread house together that I was telling you about yesterday. Tonight will be cuddling by the fireplace, drinking hot cocoa & watching a Christmas movie. Just an all around relaxing day! Tomorrow we will venture out & go do our grocery shopping in the morning & then come home & relax some more. That will consist of a day of Mom making something in the crock pot for dinner & watching football. Not much else is going on. Meme called me this morning. She wanted to ask me a few questions & tell me what the doctor said about this procedure that Bob wants. I guess his primary doctor is not recommending it at all. There are way too many risks & also he has to take his pacemaker out. Bob is aware of this but still wants to do it. The doctors have said that if the pacemaker comes out then Bob will not survive. Mom is not sure of what will go on. I know I am upset to even think about it all. Meme is angry & the whole situation is just not a good one. Please be with us all so that you can direct us to where we should focus our energy on. Thank you. I will touch base again with Aunt Beck either tomorrow or Monday. I am sure she is busy but fine. I haven't heard from Bean at all. Actually it has been 3 months or longer. Mom doesn't really hear from anyone that much anymore. No one really calls me & I am just tired of always being the one who makes the calls so I stopped. It is alright. Everything changes. I have been gone so long now from Charlestown that I knew this day would come. I just need to not let it upset me. Mom will be just fine! I guess that is all I have for you on updates for today. I will be sure to hear from Grandpa either tonight or tomorrow so I will update you as I know of things...just as I always do. Here is a prayer for the day: 
 Lord, as I rise today, I thank You for another wonderful day of life You have blessed me with. I am alive, strong & healthy. My faith is strong & I walk in the light daily with you Lord & feel the warmth of Your love. I am living a wonderful life & thank You for everything God. I know that no matter what I face You would never give me more than I can handle & You will never leave me alone. Please continue to watch over all my loved ones & keep them safe Lord. : Be on guard; stand firm in faith; be courageous; be strong. " In Jesus' name, Amen.
 Here are a couple sayings for the day as well:
 Happiness keeps you sweet. Trials keep you strong. Sorrows keep you human. Failures keep you humble & God keeps you going.
 In a world where everyone wears a mask, it's a privilege to see a soul.
 Well, Mom just looked at the clock & it is 12:12 pm. Hi Tyler. Thank you for the sign to let me know you are here with me. I love the signs that I get from you. I miss you so having them always makes me feel closer. I love you to the moon & back & all around the world. You will forever be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Always will be in my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom will whisper to you tonight as I always do so be listening for my voice. Have fun tonight while I sleep & visit me in my dreams if you can. Mom will be back tomorrow afternoon with another letter to you but for now I must get going so I can finish up the laundry & get the other projects started. Good night & sweet dreams later tonight. I love you my shining bright star!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
