Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing today? It is Monday early evening & the weather today was really nice again. Said it was suppose to rain but it hasn't yet. The sky was alittle cloudy but the temps were in the upper 70's. Just perfect winter weather for Mom & I know you love this kind of weather too. I am so sorry that I have not written to you in a couple nights but things here are just crazy. Mark & I are trying to get everything done because we are at a crunch time to get everything together for our trip up North. We leave on Thursday morning... that is 3 days away. Mom needs to make sure that we have everything & forget nothing plus I want the apartment to be completely clean so that when we return I don't have to do anything for a day or so before our next big change that will be coming up. The weather for our entire trip is looking really good. I am praying that it stays that way so it will be dry weather...no snow.. just crisp & cold. I can handle that! Thank you for doing all you are on your end, Tyler. It means so much to Mom. I can't wait to see how you will make your presence know at the wedding. I look forward to it! 
 I have 3 daily prayers to do for you so I really want to write them out before I finish my letter to you. So here it goes... December 13~ The Lord is my light & my salvation;...The Lord is the stronghold of my life. Look upon us, O Lord, & let all the darkness of our souls vanish before the beams of thy brightness. Fill us with holy love, & open to us the treasures of thy wisdom. All our desire is known unto thee, therefore perfect what thou hast begun, & what thy Spirit has awakened us to ask in prayer. We seek thy face. Turn thy face unto us & show us thy glory. Then shall our longing be satisfied, & our peace shall be perfect. Nothing more is required than this: receive your good gifts from above. Amen.
 December 14~ The Lord, your God, is in your midst, a warrior who gives victory; he will rejoice over you with gladness, he will renew you in his love. Today, heavenly Father, I pray for a little more grace in my life. I could use some help from above-----some small miracles today to remind me of the good in life & that I'm loved & cared for. Please send down your special grace to me, enough for just today, for tomorrow will take care of itself. An angel or two will do, but even if you could just spare a bit of divine guidance, I would be forever grateful. I don't need much, Father. Just a little bit of grace will do. Thank you! With our upcoming trip to NH in the next couple days I ask you God to please watch over us all & let us be safe during our travels. It will take several days to get there & we need all the safety, guidance, & protection that you & the angels can give us. Thank you for all your blessings that you give me, my family, & friends today & in the coming days. Amen!
 December 15~ When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father; he will testify on my behalf. O God, my heavenly Father, thank you for sending your Holy Spirit to be with us & guide our decisions. Because I can carry this constant reminder of your love within my heart. I'm never far from you. If I'm ever confused or uncertain, I just pray & then listen for that still, small voice of yours to confirm that my choice is the one you would have me make. Thank you, Lord, for mot forsaking us or leaving us to our own earthly devices. Your love for us is truly great! God directs my thoughts & guides my actions. Not when I was younger but now that I am in my early 40's I find myself just letting you take care of my worries & my needs. I leave everything in your hands..not because I don't want to deal with anything but because I know you will direct me to what & to where I need to be at this time in my life. Thank you for all that you do. Thank you for being in my life. Amen.
 Wow... the sky is getting darker now. That was pretty fast. The sun is setting at this very minute. It really is pretty. Lots of orange & yellow. I bet you see some amazing sunsets huh? I bet the stars are even more beautiful for you too. I hope that later I will see the moon & the stars shining brightly. I will make sure to whisper to you as I always do each & every night. Hope you can hear me & will be listening out. 
 I miss you so much Tyler. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You will forever be in my heart, mind, & soul. Sweet dreams my sweet precious son. May your night be peaceful & wonderful for you.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
