Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is so sorry that last nights letter was so short. The day was crazy & Mom & Mark were both pretty busy during the day into the evening. When I was settled in bed for the night I just had to write to you even if it was a short letter. I didn't want to go a day without writing something to you. Mom never turned on her computer at all yesterday & writing on the cell phone is so dang hard & makes me crazy...lol. Anyways... I am sorry about the letter, no pictures or prayer. Anyways.... The weather the last few days & today have been so sunny & bright. The temps are cold but I can deal with that part. Today is technically the last day of winter & tomorrow is the 1st day of Spring but the weather here will not reflect that at all. Starting tomorrow evening the winds will be picking up again... 30 mph to 50 mph with snow coming all day Wednesday into Thursday. NH, VT & the other side of MA will not be affected by this storm at all...just us on the coast... lucky us... NOT! Then by the looks of things we are in for another storm Saturday into Sunday. That one will be the same way... high winds & more damn snow...ugh! I am so done with all this. Every one is! Mom is so sick of this white stuff. The snow banks are so high as they are right now & will be even higher by the end of the week. Without warmer temps & rain... we are looking at these staying around until at least May. That depresses Mom... literally. It makes for shorter seasons & then before you know it we will be into Fall again & then Winter. Please watch over Mark & I through these next 2 storms. Thank you my sweet precious son! Mom will keep you posted on how things are going. 
 Last night, Mom spoke to Meme & Grandpa. Meme was not in a good mood at all. She was upset about a few things but Mom told her she needed to let it go & not let it stress her out. The things are pretty silly. she was also telling me that she went for her bloodwork again. The doctor did not like the looks of it for a second time. They suggested some tests but Meme refused. That didn't surprise Mom at all. She has always said that after watching Nana, Pepe & you go through all that you 3 did, she would never do anything like that. So, the doctor suggested some different foods for her to try to help out & also to take a couple over the counter pills as well. Guess we will have to wait & see what happens. Bob seems to be doing okay. He is trying to start up this online web store. Mom thinks it is great. It keeps him busy & he is not sleeping as much which is great. I think this is exactly what he needs right now. I hope that with Mark's help he can do so much! Later on last night, I spoke to Grandpa. He is sick again. This is number 4 times for him since November. He was going to the doctors today so that hopefully he could get some medicine. I don't think that he should be working anymore but I know him, he will continue to do just that. He is stubborn in that way. He needs to rest & relax & stay away from that job until the warmer weather hits. The flu this year was brutal. He has had it so much. Mom is worried about him. Please watch over all of them for Mom. Thanks, Ty! Debbie is doing well. She is going to take tomorrow off to be with her brother while he is in surgery. He has had some health issues the past few months as well. This will be surgery number 3 for him. I told them I would call tomorrow to check in on everyone to see how they are doing. Great Grammy is better, Aunt Shirley is better & Richard is getting there. Mom will keep you updated as I know of things. Everything is going pretty good. Mark is working like crazy as usual. Mom is continuing to study daily. I did 3 1/2 hours today! I got a lot done as well! Tomorrow will be the same thing. Study study study! I am almost finished this class!!!! Mom is hoping that Mark doesn't have to travel to TX for a week. If I can put a request in.....Can you help me out?  Please do what you have to to make sure that does not happen. Mom doesn't want him to go for 7 days. I will keep praying that it doesn't happen but if you can help Mom that would be wonder as well. Thanks pumpkin. Well that is all the updates that I have for you today. More to follow in the days to come though. Starting today, the pictures on here will be of Easter... ducks, bunnies, candy, etc.... as Easter is in 13 days. Hope you like them all. I think they are cute! 
 Mom hopes that your night is filled with all the things you would like to do & need to do. If you can come be with Mom while she sleeps tonight or come visit in my dreams. Thanks! Mom has lit a candle already for you. It has been burning all day long. I did the same thing yesterday. I whispered to you when I lit it, hope you heard Mom! I will whisper to you again later tonight. Smile & Mom will smile as well. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You forever will be in my heart, mind, body & soul. I miss you like crazy & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond! Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. For now I need to get the pups fed & get dinner prepped for us as it is already 4:33 pm. Before I go though here is a saying for the day: 
 " Obstacles can't stop you, problems can't stop you. Most of all other people can't stop you. Only the one who stops you is yourself. " 
 Until tomorrow, Tyler... Good night & sweet dreams my bright shining star!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the pray:  May you allow Jesus to lead you to edges of your comfort zone and give you a fresh vision for where He's taking you. May you put everything on the table and give Him permission to rearrange your life. May you dare to open your hands, look up, and breathe a prayer of thanks right in the midst of this uncertain time, knowing that He's far kinder than you can fathom and far greater than you ever imagined. Can you sense Jesus' invitation to join Him on this adventure of faith? Will you trust Him? Choose joy this day. God wants to do a deep and profound work in and through you! Your security is found in HIM!
