Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is doing okay. I was up early this morning & I was so thankful because I got to see the most beautiful sunrise. Thank you for that painting in the sky. It was breathtaking for sure. Mom took pictures so I will post a couple of them on here. Mom did not go back to bed either. I was up, made the bed, got the pups settled & then I got ready to start my day. I had to go out to run some errands today & also get my nails fixed. I left at 10 am & was home by 12:30 pm. When Mom got home I put everything away & then took the pups for a nice walk. It is cold out there but the sun was shining earlier then it turned to snow. Tonight & all day tomorrow we are supposed to get a snow storm with a mix. It states we will start to see it snow around 11 am & go until 2 pm & then it is suppose to change over to rain, sleet & ice. I guess our total snow will be 3-5". Back home in NH they are going to get socked with it. Over a foot of snow. I hope everyone is safe & they are careful if they have to travel in it. I know Meme & Bean will have too. Mom did not get the chance to study again today but I will be studying my tail off tomorrow & Thursday before we head out for our weekend of fun. It is already going on 2:45 pm so Mom doesn't have much time to do anything before it is time to start the night routine stuff, plus Mark is on a web class & he has it on speaker phone so that is all I am hearing in the back ground. I just turned so soft music on in hopes that will drown the talking out for me...lol. Anyways....
 Last night was a quiet night with no phone calls at all. Mom made dinner, we ate & then again, Mom did not feel well at all. I was sick for a good part of the evening & then I decided to go to bed at 10 pm. I did get some good sleep so thank you for being by my side so I could. Please if you can, be with Mom again tonight as well. Tonight will be another quiet evening with Mark & Mom watching TV & then going to bed early. Mom would like to be up so that I have a lot of time to study tomorrow & Mark is booked for work as well. He is in the office on Thursday so I will have more time then to study. Mom will light a candle tonight for you so when you see it, know it is for you & all our loved ones that are with you on the other side ( pets too ) Mom misses you so much my sweet precious son. No words will ever express just how much either. I have tried but there just are no words. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Forever in my heart, mind, body & soul is where you will remain. 
 Mom has a couple updates for you. I got a couple phone calls this afternoon when I got home. To say the least they both made me feel sad. Meme called & told me about Bob's doctors appointment today. He had his stress test done. Guess that didn't go over all that well. Then he saw the doctor. He told Bob that the procedure that they were hoping to do would not do anything for him so they were not going to do it now. The doctors also said that they way he is now will be the way he will be for the rest of his life. That was so disappointing & discouraging to him. Mom feels so bad. Bob is such a sweet guy that he does not deserve any of this. Mom is worried for both him & Meme. I guess that Bob is now not going with us this weekend because he is just too upset about everything. Mom wishes there was something that we could do. Please watch over them both for me. Thank you. The other phone call was from a friend saying that he was having 2 MRI's Friday & having to go see a neurosurgeon on Monday. Guess there is a chance that he will be having neck & spine surgery in the next few weeks. That is scary too. Mom wishes him well. That is all I have for updates today but I will touch base with Grandpa either tonight or tomorrow night. 
 Here is the meaning of today's color: Yellow: Optimism, happiness, sunshine, laughter, enthusiasm, confidence, emotional strength, friendliness, creativity, stimulating, uplifting, knowledge, self-esteem, cheerful, sunny, joy & hope!
 Here is the saying for the day as well: 
 " Today, take a few minutes to sit quietly & just be thankful for all that you have. "
 Mom needs to get going as it is already after 3 pm & I have a few things I need to do before I turn my computer off for the night. Mom will whisper to you later so be listening for my voice. I will smile to you & hope you are right by my side smiling back to me. Have fun tonight while I sleep. Come visit if you can. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter so until then... Good night & sweet dreams. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here are the prayers for the day:
  May you determine to travel lighter starting now. May you—with your God-given authority in Christ—demand that the enemy shut his mouth and leave you alone. May you discern the baggage of man-made obligations and lay them down. May you decide to fling aside your own self-condemning thoughts and wrap yourself up in God’s beautiful grace and righteousness instead. And, may you march on from here, full of faith, empowered by grace, and awakened by God’s love, and walk as one who’s been spoken for by God above. May your latter days be far more blessed than your former days. Jesus is always up to something new. Bless you!
 When you feel wrongly assessed, may you remember that Jesus is your Great Defender. When you feel misjudged, may you remember that Jesus is your Great Vindicator. When you feel insecure about your weaknesses, may you remember that Jesus knew exactly who He was getting when He saved you, and He LOVES you! When you’re tempted to focus too much on what’s wrong in you and all around you, may you have the will to look up and rejoice for all that’s right in your world. God has done amazing things in your life. He’s made you a masterpiece. And He’s just getting started! Your story is far from over.
