Dear Tyler,

Hi sweet son of mine. How are you doing today? I hope that you are well. Mom is doing good. I couldn't believe that it was 78 degrees outside and sunny today. It was super nice and actually pretty warm. I was pretty surprised. Guess it is going to be this way all week with a little rain on Thursday and Friday. I will take it. Hard to believe that it is December with this this weather :)
 I got a nice surprise today in the mail. It was a box that was addressed to me but said it was from Heaven. Inside was a beautiful Angel that has fiber optic wings and sings Silent Night. It gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes. I know it was from Aunt Shirley but her gesture was so sweet. I know she did it for you. Thank you so much. My Angel of mine is always with me. No doubt in that! The last few days I have let my guard down and since then I sense and feel you around me more than I ever did. I am so sorry that it has taken so long for Mom. Like I said to you in my letter the other night when I read that story about Angels needing to grow and to do that you need to see your loved ones smiling and laughing. I meant what I said. I am going to continue this for you to grow in Heaven. I want you to reach and be all that you can be. I always have wanted that for you, Tyler. I would never want to hold you back from anything. I now that I will have my days, some better than others but I will do anything for you. You have my word on this.. you have my promise! I miss you so much and I love you to the moon and back. 
 I was doing some looking on the computer for Christmas gifts for people. Everything that I look at I see things that you would love. Go figure, huh? You usually were the toughest along with Grandpa to buy for. You both are so much alike. Never want anything or ask for anything. You acted like Grandpa.. I always told you that and I think that Grandpa knows too :)
 Last night the clouds were so thick so I didn't get to see any stars let alone my bright star but I know you were there watching over Mom. The sky is clear and cloudless so that I know tonight I will see my bright star. Be listening for Mom. 
 Sweet dreams my precious son. I miss you and I love you beyond words. Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
