Dear Tyler,

Hi sweetheart, How are you doing today? Things here are ok. The weather again is so nice and warm. I will enjoy it because it looks like we will be getting rain for the next 3 or 4 days. It is 81 degrees with partly cloudy skies. Wish it was really sunny though. The weather is definitely matching my mood right now. 
 Mom had a rough night last night. I didn't sleep at all. Watched what I thought was going to be a nice Christmas movie and it turned out to be one of the hardest movies to get through. There was a young boy who was sick and there was nothing they could do for him. He had a teacher that was his favorite and she became ill... as you could guess she needed a Liver transplant and she received it when the young boy passed. I cried and cried through the whole movie. I kept thinking of you and the hospital and everything. The movie really bothered me so much that I couldn't sleep. Mark told me I wasn't allowed to pick out Christmas movies anymore. He had a hard time with it too. 
 This afternoon Mark gave me some rough news. I am sure you are already aware of things but we heard from Dave that Mom's friend Amy is not doing well. She was sent to VRH on Saturday or Sunday. She caught a virus and the medicine that the doctors are trying to give her are not working and her body is not responding. She was sent to DHMC and put in the ICU and then was released to a room on the floor but Dave got called today that they were putting her back in the ICU. Things are not good. Mom tried calling but the nurses said she was not able to come to the phone. They said I needed to wait to speak to Dave. I just got this gut feeling.. that something is going to happen. I had one on my dreams too. Can I ask a favor of you, Tyler? If Amy doesn't make it and it is her time to be called home to Heaven can you do 2 things??? Please show Amy the ropes up there and help her find her little daughter that she lost so many years ago. May they have a wonderful reunion and eternal life together and also please tell her that I will miss her and that I thank her every day for introducing Mark to me. She is the reason we are together and I will forever be grateful to her for this. She knew what she was doing when she played " match maker " with Mark & I. Amy always loved you too. She has your picture of you & her on their refrigerator at her house. She always spoke about you. She will give you a huge hug and smile when she sees you! 
 I hope to see the stars tonight but if I don't you can count on me to whisper to you as I always do. Be listening. Watch over Mom & Mark and our family and friends. I miss you so much and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. Sweet dreams my precious son. I love you beyond words. Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
