Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Saturday evening? Happy St. Patrick's Day to you in the Heavens above! Mom is doing alright but I am losing steam & getting tired. Mark & Mom went to bed around 10 pm last night but I tossed & turned a lot & didn't get much sleep at all. We both were up early this morning as well. We both got right up & fed the pups, made coffee for Mark, did a little bit of cleaning, took showers, did the garbage, took the pups for a walk & then headed out for the day. We went to the new grocery store we found about 3 weeks ago & then poked in a couple other stores as well. We got home around 4 pm & then Mom put everything away, fed the pups, prepped dinner, ate, did the dishes & now I am writing to you. It is 6:30 pm & Mom is ready for bed. We are going to watch a movie & then probably call it a night! Mom has a headache right now. Hoping it will go away & soon.  The weather today was so nice. The sun was shining but the temps were only 33 degrees & the wind was whipping. I didn't mind because the sun was out. wish it was melting all this dang snow though. We need to get a couple good days of rain to melt some of it away. I know it will be gone within a month or so but still.... in 3 days it will be the 1st day of Spring!
 Last night Mom spoke to Meme & Aunt Beck. I will be calling Aunt Beck tomorrow to help her out with a couple things & I will also touch base with Meme & Grandpa. I would call Grandpa tonight but right now he is just getting home from church & Mom's head is pounding. Mom will fill you in on all updates when I get some for ya! Today is a day of celebrating as we are part Irish but also it was a day that Mom wouldn't celebrate & would dread as 29 years ago, Pepe received his Angel wings. He left the physical world & was pain free & once again whole. Mom misses him so much still. I remember yesterday & today like it happened just days ago. Mom, now celebrates today in his honor & I always raise a glass & toast to him. I know you are with him & Nana so when you can.... give him a hug & kiss from Mom & tell him I love him & miss him very much. Thank you my sweet precious son! 
 Last night, Mom found out some pretty sad news. I follow a gal on facebook & we have become friends. She rescues all kinds of pups. She fosters them to good health, gives them all kinds of unconditional love & finds the perfect family that will fit each pup. In December, she took on the job of fostering a sweet senior girl that she named Jovie. She was badly treated & things looked sad for her but with the care, love & support that she got she became a sweet little thing. She got to know what unconditional love was, got hugs & kisses, slept on a comfy bed, etc.... Mom just fell in love with her & enjoyed seeing the updates, videos & pictures. Something about Jovie I was attached to even though I never meant her in person as she lived in TX. I am not sure why that is...maybe because it is so close to Princess' story & how we rescued her..... anyways.... I saw last night that sweet little Jovie has taken a turn for the worst as she has been battling some health issues. There was nothing that could be done for her so her Momma gave her the best day yesterday, last night & this morning before she crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge at 12 noon today. Mom cried last night & cried so hard when I read that she was gone. I know it was the best for her as she is freed of all her health issues. She can run free & be happy now. Tonight, in her honor, Mom will be posting a picture of her on here. R.I.P. sweet Jovie girl. I sure will miss you. 
 Mom is hoping that tonight you get to have the time to do all kinds of things that you need to do & may want to do. Have fun while Mom is sleeping tonight. Come visit if you can. I will whisper to you as I always do every night so smile for me & I will smile back to you. I will light a candle for you, Pepe & Jovie tonight. Know that candle burning bright is for you 3. I miss you more than ever & more than words can say. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Always my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Forever living in my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom is going to get going for now so that I can go relax & watch the movie. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you though. So until then... good night & sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is a prayer for the day: May God grant you always.... a sunbeam to warm you, a moonbeam to charm you, a sheltering Angel so nothing can harm you, laughter to cheer you, faithful friends near you & whenever you pray, Heaven to hear you. 
 Here is an Irish Blessing: May the Lord rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. The rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
