Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Mom has had a very busy day today. I was awake & up at 7:30 am. I did not lounge around at all like I normally do. Instead, I was up cleaning the apartment, making coffee for Mark, got the pups set & then I got ready, painted my toe nails & off to my nail appointment I went. I had to gather up the garbage & get that to the dumpster as well & give our rent check to the leasing office plus I had to gas the vehicle up too. Mom was home around 2:30 pm. When I got home I put things away, packed for the weekend away for myself & the pups & did laundry. That just finished so when I am done writing to you Mom will be feeding the pups, prepping dinner for Mark & I 7 also folding & putting away laundry. Tonight will be a very early night as Mark & I want to get on the road early so that we can take our time. The weather here is suppose to be terrible. We have heavy rain for all day Saturday with winds going to 50 -80 mph plus Saturday it is suppose to be the same without the rain. NH is suppose to get snow/sleet & freezing rain & that is what we will be driving up to. Not a great day to travel but we will take our time. Saturday it is suppose to be cloudy & overcast so Mom will come visit with you then. The ground will be terrible but I will still visit with you. Mom can't wait for the days to be warm & sunny so that I can sit on the bench & just talk to you for a while. Mom is not sure about the services for Eli so I am waiting to here about them. We might be in NH a couple days longer for that but as of right now I am not sure. everything is up in the air. I packed extra just incase. Not much else is going on at the moment. Aunt Shirley emailed Mom to say that the doctors put her on some very strong medicine. She says it seems to be working so I hope so for her sake. Great Grammy is doing better than before. She has her days where some are good & then some are not so good. I haven't spoken to aunt Beck this week but I will get in touch with her next week when we get back. Today would have been Nana's 99th Birthday. I am sure she is celebrating her special day with Pepe, you & all her family & friends that are with you on the other side. Today is also Meme & Bob's wedding anniversary. They have been married for 22 years. I hope you send them a sign to let them know that you are with them. Grandpa called last night but Mom was not in the mood to really talk after the day I had. I felt bad but it was something that I needed to do. mark worked again last night until 8:30 pm so Mom cuddled on the couch, had a glass a wine & watched some of her TV shows. We were in bed asleep at 10 pm. Mom will be writing to you in the morning before we take off to NH & I will write to you Saturday morning as well before we start our day. I know we will be seeing Meme, Bob, Grandpa & Debbie as we have to fix their computers & also set them up on their tablets. Meme needs help with her cell phone too. It will be a day of working on their electronics while visiting with them. Saturday night will be Charlie's birthday surprise party. We will go there for a bit with everyone & then head back to the hotel & turn in early as we will be hitting the road at an early time on Sunday. No one really knows that Mom is going to be there & I did that for a reason. That is the way I wanted it. Mom is sure to have more updates for you over the weekend but for now that is all I have. 
 Mom will light a special candle tonight for you again. I will whisper to you like I always do so smile when you hear me & I will smile back to you. I miss you more than ever these past few days my sweet precious son. I miss you all the time but I really miss you hearing your voice & seeing your sweet face. Mom loves you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Forever you are in my heart, mind, body & soul. Please watch over us all like I know you always do. Thank you. 
 Today is March 1st & Spring is almost near. Today you could feel it as it was 63 degrees outside & sunny. That changed a few hours ago though. The clouds are rolling in again & getting ready for the nasty storm we will be having. Mom heard that some places in New England could see 7" to a foot of snow this weekend. Yikes..... Mom is hoping that your night will be everything you need & want it to be. may you have fun while Mom is sleeping tonight. Come visit me if you can. Thanks pumpkin. 
 Mom still is not sure what to post on here for pictures but I am sure I will think of something. Maybe it will be a variety of Spring flowers, St. Patrick's Day, etc... maybe it won't be just one specific thing. Mom will definitely post pictures of 4 leaf clovers as they were special to us. maybe I will start with that on todays letter. Hope that you will like whatever I decide to do for the month of March. Mom needs to get going as it is already 4:30 pm & I have so much left to do before I can sit down to relax for the evening. Tonight is suppose to be a full moon but I don't think I will be seeing it or any stars shining bright. I will look though. Mom will be back in the morning so until then..... Good night & sweet dreams. I love you with everything I have.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here are the prayers for the day: May Jesus give you the grit to persevere when your Promised Land depends on it. May He give you tenderness to forgive when relationships are strained. May He give you compassion to lovingly see those whom He’s given you to love. May He give you faith to believe that miracles still happen in our day. May you refuse to run away just because something feels uncomfortable. May you refuse to dig in your heels just because risk feels too scary. There’s a time to stay firmly planted and a time to step into the unknown. Both require faith. Your Good Shepherd will faithfully lead you every step of the way. Stay in step with Him.
  May you embrace the healing process that God has in motion right now. You can trust Him. May you notice the daily graces He provides. They’ll make your burden lighter. May you refuse to stuff emotions that keep trying to surface. They’re trying to tell you something. May you refuse the quick fix. You’re made for the long-haul, not just for the moment. Healing is a process and it happens in steps. So take the next step. May you boldly imagine by faith the new levels of freedom that Jesus won specifically for you. That Promised Land is yours! Have a great day.
