Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Tuesday evening? It is 5 pm already and Mom is just getting done with studying and prepping dinner. I have done the majority of it but I still have a couple things left to do. I wanted to write to you before I did that so I could turn my computer off for the evening. 
 Today has been a productive day for Mom. I was up early and I was able to lounge in bed for a bit before getting up. I spoke to Meme for quite a while this morning as well. She stayed home from work today because she was not feeling good. Her hip popped out of socket so the doctors told her to ice it and take some pain medicine and hopefully it would be better in a couple of days. She was also worried about the snow that they would be getting as well. It started in NH around 1 pm and it is coming down pretty steady there now. They are suppose to get 8-12" of heavy wet snow and it will not be done until around 5 pm tomorrow evening. Slow moving storm but it will leave an impact. This is the 3rd winter storm since the beginning of January. There has been one every single week. This one is called Jayden. We are going to get no snow, maybe some sleet and rain later this evening and starting tomorrow we will have really high winds all day and night...over 35+ mph. Please watch over us all during this weather. With the temps being the way that they are and the wind chill it will make it feel like -16 degrees here tomorrow. Mark is on the road all day and Mom will be home with the pups. Thank you for making sure we are all safe. It means so much. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you are inside my heart, mind, body and soul.
 Meme was telling me that Bob is not doing the greatest right now. He is going to go see his doctor to tell her that the medicines are not working anymore. I know there is nothing that can be done or other medicines that he can take so Mom is a little worried about all this. She was saying that he fell again this morning. He is really losing his balance a lot lately. It has been 7 years since all this heart problems started with him. That is a long time to live the way that he has to. I know you watch over them both and again I thank you for that. Mom again wishes that I could win the megabucks so that they could sell their houses and Mom could get a huge house so that everyone didn't have to work unless they wanted to and everyone would be under one roof so I could take care of them all. They need to all retire and just live the rest of their life stress free and happy doing whatever they want to do. That is Mom's wish. Think it could come true? I sure hope so! 
 Mom took the day and studying and worked on her final exam. I was doing pretty good and then I got stuck on a couple questions. I will finish it up tomorrow and look things over and then submit it and start on my last course! Mom is super excited about this! I will either finish this course up with an A or B. Either way I am so happy with it! Hard work certainly pays off. Later tonight I will be relaxing while watching a couple shows that I have taped. Then it will be to bed early as Mark has to be on the road early and I will have all day long to study. I am not sure if Grandpa will call or not as I believe that he will be very busy the next couple days with all the snow they are getting. I will check in on him tomorrow at the latest if I don't hear anything. Still nothing from Aunt beck or Bean. I will try to contact them as well in the next couple of days.
 Mom needs to get going as it is after 5:30 pm now. The pups have been fed but Mom is still working on our dinner. I have been going back and forth from writing this letter to the kitchen. Mom is hoping that your evening will be everything that you need and want it to be. Have fun while I sleep tonight. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thank you for last night's painting in the sky. It was so gorgeous. I think Mom stayed by the window and watched it for 20-30 minutes. I took so many pictures of it. I will post a couple on here tonight. It made me smile so again thank you pumpkin. I will light the candle and whisper to you later this evening. Smile and Mom will smile back. I sure do miss you bunches my sweet precious son. I will be back tomorrow so until then good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words which I command you this day shall be upon your heart. Deuteronomy 6:4–6, RSV

Lord our God, we thank you that every day – through good days and through days that to us seem bad – we know that our lives are guided by your will, what you do and what you want. For this we thank you. We want to love you above everything in the world. Our hearts long for you, for you are our Father. We want to love and honor you with our whole lives. Lord our God, bring your order into the world. Help us at all times to do your will and to fulfill your commandments. Amen.
