Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? The weather today is worse than what it was yesterday. The rain is so heavy & the wind is whipping at 25+mph right now. It has been foggy all day long as well. It was so dark that we have had to have lights on all day just to see what we were doing. It states that tomorrow is suppose to be sunny & Mom sure hopes so as this weather is playing havoc with my face & bones.
 Mom was again up at 6:30 am feeding the pups & getting coffee made for Mark. Being up at that time 2 mornings in a row sucks. Last night Mom didn't sleep very well at all because the pups were hogging the bed...lol. Hopefully tonight I will be able to get some sleep that I really need. If you can help Mom out or be with me tonight that would be wonderful. Thank you my sweet precious son. 
 Today, Mom made blueberry muffins, did those dishes, got ready & then came right in for day 2 of studying. I have managed to read the next chapter, did the practice exercises & answered 32 questions on my exam. Tomorrow I will be reading the next chapter & hopefully finishing up the 4th exam in this class. I am on a roll that is for sure. I am back to doing what I said that I was going to do. I am pretty proud of myself. mark has been busting butt today as well. Working since 7 am & on the phones all day long. This week will be a quiet one for him but he has a very important call on Friday. Mom's fingers are crossed for him. Any guidance that you can be for Mark would gladly be appreciated. Thank you, Tyler. Everything you do for Mom, Mark & our family does not go unnoticed. I see it all & Mom is forever grateful. 
 Last night was a quiet night. Mom made dinner, fed the pups, did the dishes & then pretty much relaxed for the night & went to bed at 10 pm. I did get the chance to chat with Meme for a few minutes. She was tired & I wanted to just check in on her to see how she was doing. She said she felt like crap but she actually sounded better than Sunday. I will let her rest for a couple nights & call her again to see how she is doing. Mom will touch base with everyone else later in the week or over the weekend. I am sure everyone is just as busy as Mom & just wants to relax during the evenings like I do. I did find out that a classmate of Moms passed away on January 11th from a brief illness. He was 48 years old & such a nice guy. Mom remembers him from school. Just really sad. May Tom R.I.P. for eternal life now & fly high & free with you & the Angels. Another piece of sad news was that our neighbor in Charlestown that lived across the street from us, Rand ( he lived with Raven & Sherry ) passed away last night. I saw that his obituary was in the paper today. He was always so nice to us. Always talking to both you & Mom when he saw us & remember how he loved Max & Snickers? He would always chuckle when seeing them. I knew that Raven & Sherry moved out of the park a couple years ago & I guess decided to get an RV & live on the road. Last time I knew they were in Las Vegas living. I often wondered how Rand was doing & where he went when they moved away. May Rand R. I. P. for eternal life now & also fly high & free with you & the Angels. That is all that I have for you today. Sorry it wasn't a lot of good news. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Mom will light a candle for you, our family & friends, pets, Tom, & Rand tonight. Mom will whisper to you later this evening as well. I hope when you hear my voice you will smile & I will smile back to you. Always remember that you are forever my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Mom misses you like crazy & I love you more than all the stars in the sky. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. 
 Here is the sayings for the day:
 Make this the year you stop complaining about your weaknesses & instead search for their God-Given purpose.
 Do you know what makes you a Hero? The fact you give the world another chance every day. That's what makes you a Hero! 
 Mom needs to get going for now as it is going on 3:30 pm & I have a few things that I need to do before I get the pups fed for the night & get dinner going for Mark & I. I will be back tomorrow with another to you. Mom hopes that your night will be everything you need & want it to be. Have fun while I sleep & come visit me again in my dreams. Thanks pumpkin! Good night & sweet dreams my bright shining star.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here are the prayers for the day:
  May you look around and notice all of the answers to prayer you enjoy because of prayers you prayed some time ago. May the breakthroughs you've experienced and the open doors you've walked through compel you to pray with more fervency, specificity, and tenacity. God loves your faith. He loves your heart. He loves it when you pray. He's very protective of you and won't give you something that's not good for you. He makes you wait because He's making you ready. Trust your whole soul and story to Him. And keep praying. God is moving, even when you can't see it. One day, your faith will become sight. A blessed, beautiful, and prayerful day to you today!
  Sometimes, in fact, most times, we need a fresh gift of faith to face our current battles. May Jesus give you fresh faith! May you begin to see things from His perspective. May His very presence bring joy and strength to your heart. You don’t have to see His answers to believe that He has them for you. You don’t have to know how He’ll intervene to believe that He will. May faith reframe your perspective and bring rest to your heart tonight. And, may the answer come when you least expect it. God is moving on your behalf. You can trust Him. Sleep well tonight.
