Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday late afternoon? Mom is doing alright. I have been busy for most of the day though. I just stopped studying for the day. I should be done with my final exam tomorrow and I looked into my final course and looks like I should be able to get it completely done in about 3 days. That is super exciting news for me. I am anxious about it all and I think I may do most of the work this weekend and get it done with! Guess it depends on what I have going on. Right now there are no plans for the weekend at all. The weather today started out nice and sunny with blue skies and around noon time it clouded up and it has been pretty dark. We are getting ready to brace Winter Storm Ryan. We will be getting snow this evening and into tomorrow morning. They say 1-3" of snow but who knows. We get what we get. Mom just looked at the weather channel and it looks like they upped our totals from 1-3" to 3-5". Looks like NH will be getting the same as well. I hope it is on the latter end of it as the snow plows will be out all night and Mom will not get any dang sleep. They go right under our bedroom windows and it is super load. Plus the pups get pretty scared. Won't be a fun evening and Mom will be tried in the morning. Maybe there is a slight chance we will get less than that??? Mom can only hope! 
 Anyways, last night was nice. Mom cooked a nice dinner for Mark and I. We ate and then Mom did the clean up. After we spent time on the iPad looking at different houses that are for sale. We are now keeping our options open to where we may go. I think we may be leaning towards somewhere where there is no winter months and snow. I think the 5 years being back here is enough for us both. We are going to do some serious talking on locations here pretty soon. We have only 8 months left of our lease here so its not much time. Mom will keep you posted. I did get the chance yesterday to speak to Aunt Beck in the afternoon. It was nice to catch up on things. She really is crazy busy with teaching and work right now. Bean is doing okay. Her meds are really not working so she is discouraged at this point with that. She has been looking for a new job and had an interview last week. Sounds like it went well. Aunt Beck told me where it was and I couldn't help my sigh and take a deep breath. My heart ached after I was told. It would be at St. Catherine's Hospital in Manchester, NH... the place where you passed away. When Brandy told Aunt Beck where it would be she said the exact same thing to her Mom. Aunt Beck was saying that she is feeling you around her a lot lately and making your presence known to her. I was happy to hear that. She said that she thinks that you are helping and being with Bean a lot as well. That doesn't surprise me in the least. Family was everything to you just as it is to Mom. I know you are around me and you watch over me and every one else. I know that you are learning new things to help you on your next journey. No matter what you are doing I know you are doing good things. Mom is so proud of you my sweet precious son. Please continue to be with Mom. Thank you. I was also able to chat with Meme and Grandpa last night. Everything is good on their end. Today is Bob's Birthday. Mom and Mark called him up and wished him a Happy Birthday (well we sang it to him...lol). He got a kick out of that...lol! Hope you can go see him and let him know you are around him today. Grandpa and Debbie went to Concord to go out to eat and do some shopping. Sounds like they had a good time. They are all looking forward to coming here for a visit in a couple weeks. It will be St Patrick's Day weekend when they are here so Mom is trying to find something fun for all of us to do. I will keep you posted on what I come up with. Tonight looks like an evening where we will have dinner and then Mark will play his game with one of his brothers while Mom gets caught up on her shows that she recorded after I take a nice hot bubble bath. We are trying to have some individual time to ourselves doing something that we want to do during the week for one night. I think right now it is limited as the weather is still super cold but during the summer it will be great. We are also trying to come up with other things to do besides watching TV all the time. Again... there will be more to do when the weather is warmer. Mom is looking forward to that very much. Little changes will go a long way along with putting the effort into it. I like what I see so far! 
 The skies are now turning into the snow skies. It is not gray but cloudy and white. It is suppose to start here in a couple hours. 7 pm until 12 noon tomorrow. Mom will let you know what we got in tomorrows letter. Right now it is going on 5 pm and Mom needs to start the evening stuff with feeding the pups and then getting dinner going for us. Have fun tonight while Mom is sleeping. Come visit in my dreams tonight if you can. Thanks pumpkin. I will light the candle for you as soon as I am done here. I will whisper to you as I always do later this evening as well. Smile to Mom and I will smile to you. I love you with all my heart and soul. To the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are missed beyond any words can express. You will always be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you are in my heart, mind, body and soul. Until tomorrow comes, good night and sweet dreams, Tyler. Please continue to be my bright shining star that lights the way for me here. I love you.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor's crown. Revelation 2:10, NIV

Lord our God, we come into your presence. Hear our prayers, we entreat you. Let your will be done among us; let your will be done for each one of us individually, and for our time. Let everything go according to your will, even if the way leads through tribulation, fear, and need. For in the end your goal will be reached. In the end you will fulfill your purpose, and your kingdom will come. Your kingdom will come to the honor of your name and for the redemption of all people still suffering on earth. Let your Word bring us blessing. May we go forward joyfully in the patience of Jesus Christ until times change, until a new day dawns and we are allowed to see your glory and your peace. Amen.
