Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this Saturday night? Mom is hoping that your day & night has been all that you need & wanted it to be. I am so sorry for not writing to you the last couple days while we were gone to NH, please forgive me pumpkin. Mom even brought the computer with all intentions to write to you but Thursday night Uncle Chris stopped by & he stayed until 11 pm & then Friday night Charlie & Marion stopped by to see us & didn't leave until 9:30 pm or so. Mom was so tired that she took a bubble bath & then fell right to sleep. Got up this morning & went to see Meme & Bob, then headed to the cemetery to visit with you, then stopped into Auntie Kristina's & then to Grandpa & Debbie's. We got on the road about 3:15 pm & got home around 5:30 pm. Thank you for watching over us while we were gone. It was pretty touch & go with Mark's truck again though. Guess he is needing more work done on it... go figure, right? 
 Anyways, Thanksgiving for us was spent on the road, going to Meme's & Bob's for dinner, visiting for a bit & then to our hotel room. It was so good to see everyone that we could while we were there. I miss them all. Did you see Mom when she was visiting you? Did you hear me talk to you? I wish I could have stayed longer but it was really cold & it was starting to rain. Mom put an ornament on your head stone. It is a snowman that is actually a snow globe & it lights up. It says your name. I put it in the left upper corner of your stone. I know that it probably will get broken or stolen but Mom gets you an ornament every year. I know you know it is there & that is all that matters. Hope you like it. Hope it makes you smile. I know that you saw Mom crying. I tried not to but I couldn't stop. I miss you so much my sweet precious son. When I go there it hits me hard. It is reality that sinks in that you really are gone. I love you so much. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. Always have & always will.
 Here are the daily prayers that I need to get caught up on. November 26~ To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, & not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. We thank thee, O Lord whose fingers touched our dust, O Lord who gave us breath. We thank thee, Lord, who gave us sight & sense to see the flower, to hear the wind, to feel the waters in our hands, to sleep with the night & wake with the sun, to stand upon the star, to sing thy praise, to hear thy voice. Amen.
 November 27~ Take heed therefore unto yourselves, & to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Lord, today my heart is full of gratitude for your church. Thank you for asking us to meet together to honor you. What power there is in voicing our thanks & petitions together! What comfort in the outstretched arms of friends! Protect us, Lord. Keep us strong----now & in the days to come. Amen.
 November 28~ With him is wisdom & strength, he hath counsel & understanding. God, I give thanks for the wisdom you share with me when I am trying to understand my own actions or someone else's. You know what is best, & you have my highest good in mind. I will turn to you for advice & guidance I need. Thank you, God, for being a strong & loving presence in my life. Amen.
 Ok... Mom is back on track again! The evening sky is fully upon us. There are no stars & moon shining bright but that is ok. I know that you are shining bright for someone who may need it right now. You always had a very big heart & cared for others before yourself. Mom will whisper to you tonight so be listening out for my voice. Hope you get some sleep & if you do Mom is hoping that you have sweet dreams. Hope to see you in my own dreams tonight when I fall asleep tonight. Please watch over us all like I know you do. Thanks Ty. I miss you like crazy & I love you so much. You are forever in my heart, mind, & soul.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
