Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday evening? Mom is hoping that once again you are somewhere warm & soaking up the rays of sunshine for the both of us. The weather where I am was yet again, cold, damp, windy & lots of rain. This is day 3 nut I do believe that we will be seeing the sun tomorrow & for the next 5 days. Suppose to be cooler but I don't care. As long as there is sunshine I am such a happy girl! Today was a day for Mom as far as reflecting on a couple things. First it was Pepe's Birthday. Not sure how old he would have been but I am guessing that is was somewhere around 99 years old. I miss him so much. Him & Nana were such a huge part of my upbringing. You had the chance to meet Nana here in the physical world but not Pepe. He passed on March 17, 1989, exactly 3 months to the day that Mom graduated high school. I know you met him before going to Heaven because you told me you saw him. You described him to a " T . " He called you his " Little Tike. " I remember that being told to me in one of Mom's angel readings. I know that you, Nana & Pepe are all together & that makes me smile. I know that Pepe is keeping you in line for Mom...lol. Please give him a big hug & kiss from Mom for me, please? Thank you. Hope you all are celebrating his special day. The 2nd thing that was reflecting for Mom was 20 years ago today was when I started my 1st set of radiation/ chemo treatments back in 1996. I still remember it all in detail like it was yesterday. I guess that when you go through something like that, no one ever forgets the pain, the turmoil that it brought to you, mentally, physically, or emotionally. This time of the year always makes me think of what I went through as I started in October & didn't end until February the following year. I was at the hospital more than home. Mom doesn't complain though...never has & never will because everything could have turned out so different. Mom thanks God every day for the miracle that she got 20 years ago. Mom counts her lucky stars too & never takes anything for granted. You always heard Mom say that while you were growing up... now you know why. You were always a trooper too. You never complain about a thing & you went through so much. You were so small yet so mature & strong. Mom admired your strength & courage with all that you were faced in 22 years. You were & you always will be my true Hero. I hope that you still know this. I love you my sweet precious son. I miss you like crazy, but I know you do know this.
 Spoke to Meme today & Grandpa last night. All is well to be expected in their world in NH. I will try & touch base with Aunt Beck tomorrow to see how they are. Not really a whole lot to update you on. One of our cousins, Kathy lost her Mom yesterday. That was sad. When you see Gloria please let her know she is missed & loved very much by her family & friends. Mom reached out to Kathy but haven't heard anything yet. I am sure she is needing time, time to deal with all her emotions & such. My heart breaks for her. I hope she can find comfort in the memories she has of her Mom. Bless her heart. 
 Here is the daily prayer for today. November 12~ You created your world as a circle of love, designer God, a wonderful round globe of beauty & you create us still today in circles of love----families, friendships, communities. Yet your circle of love is repeatedly broken because of our love of exclusion. We make separate circles: inner circle & outer circle; circle of power & circle of despair; circle of privilege & circle of deprivation. We need your healing touch to smooth our sharp edges. Remind us that only a fully round, hand-joined circle can move freely like a spinning wheel or the globe we call home. Amen.
 The evening sky is fully upon us once again. The sky here is still cloudy & overcast so Mom knows she will not be seeing the stars & moon shining brightly yet again. Doesn't matter though as I will whisper to you as I always do so I hope you will be listening out for my voice. Mom is hoping that you have a wonderful night doing all the things you need & want to. May you have the chance to slow down, close your eyes & get some sleep. If you do, Mom is hoping you have the sweetest of dreams & may I get to see you in my own dreams tonight when I fall asleep. Continue to fly high & fly free up there in the heavens above. Please continue to watch over Mom, our family & friends. It means so much to me, thank you. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. I miss you like crazy. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

PS  Make sure that you go & see Auntie Kristina... today is her birthday. Behave & don't scare her either...lol. Love you!
