Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Mom is doing better than I was a few days ago. Things got pretty rocky here but i am doing so much better. The weather outside is sunny & in the 60's. I can't believe that for it being the middle of December. No complaints from me though as i love this weather! 
 Sorry that Mom did not get a chance to write to you last night but as you could see, Mark & I were wrestling to put together a media center with an electric fireplace. That was pretty fun seeings how it came with no assembly instructions. Mom had to call the company to get them. We did pretty good though. Took us a couple hours to do it but we finished & I really love it. You would have been so happy 7 proud of Mom.... I actually read all the directions & figured out how to put what pieces where! That is a huge deal as I have always been so terrible at it in the past. I am sure that you were laughing though. Today, Mom is feeling pretty sore though from all the bending, stretching & lifting. Mark is sore too & he is sick today as well so that doesn't help matters out. Anything that you can do to help him feel better Mom would really appreciate it a great deal. Thanks Ty.
 Spoke to Grandpa last night. He is doing good & so is Debbie. They are getting ready for the Holiday coming up in exactly 2 weeks from today. Mom can't believe that it will be Christmas day in 2 weeks let alone a new year in 3 weeks. Time is flying by. Mom & Mark will be headed to NH again to spend it with family & a few friends. Nice relaxing time we are hoping for. Meme is doing well & so is Bob. So happy about that too. Aunt Beck is good...crazy busy as always but she is well. Bean is great but I know you know all this because you are always watching over us. 
 The pups are doing well. Both Princess & Ozzy have been off their meds now for 2 days & doing good. They starting acting like they did before the surgeries last week. It was cute to see them playing again. It is good that things are getting back to the normal. Mom has looked into what it is going to take to get my certification exam done.. looks like that will be in a couple months as I need 3 more books that I don't have & I need to save for it as it is extremely expensive. I will do it though... I promise you that. I will make you & myself proud.
 I know that Mom has a couple daily prayers to catch up on again so here they are. December 10~ So the contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, & comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. Father, when we stand to cross the metaphorical bridge of forgiveness, please give us a little push to get us going. Amen.
 December 11~ Thou madest him a little lower than the angels;thou crownedst him with glory & honour, & didst set him over the works of thy hands: With clean hands & a pure heart, may I be worthy to do the work of angels. Amen.
 All caught up once again. Mom is hoping that you will have a great afternoon & evening tonight. Do all that you need & want to. I am hoping that I will see the stars & the moon shining brightly tonight when the evening sky is upon us. I will be whispering to you as I always do so be listening for Mom's voice. Smile when you hear it. I miss you. I miss that smile, your face, your voice, your laughter. I miss everything so much. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my everything. You still are my world even though we are separated. 
 Get some sleep tonight if you can & Mom hopes that you have sweet dreams. Come see me in my dreams tonight. I would love that. Please continue to watch over us all like I know you already do. Thank you my sweet precious son. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!


P.S.  Today is your friend Ryan Nass' birthday. Make sure you go see him & wish him a good day! Love you.
