Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Saturday evening? Mom had a pretty good day today. Mark & I went shopping & finished up & sent out the gifts to the family in Kentucky & Ohio. Feels good to get things out this year before time. Last year we got everything out later because we were getting ready to travel up to NH for Christmas & the wedding. The weather was so beautiful. Middle of December & it was 62 degrees outside & sunny. It was so nice. I enjoyed being out & walking around. Loved it. I looked to the sky several times & smiled while thinking of you. I miss you so much. I have seen so many Christmas things I wanted to get you. You would have loved them all. I know you hear Mom & see all the things I am talking about. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world.
 Everything else is going ok. We received a Christmas card from Aunt Beck & Uncle John today. That was surprising. We got a few more yesterday as well. Wish Mom could send you one in Heaven. If I could you know I would send you a card every single day to tell you that I love you & I miss you so. I know you know this already but you know what Mom is talking about. 
 No real updates for you today. Spoke to Grandpa & Debbie. They did the rest of their Christmas shopping today & sounds like they had fun. Mom will speak to Meme & Bob tomorrow & will have more updates for you then. Great Grammy is doing ok. She is still a spitfire even at 95 years old. She sleeps a lot but when she is awake she is very talkative & happy. Mom will be visiting her at Christmas time. I miss seeing her. I know you watch over her & all of us. Thank you so much.
 Let me write the daily prayer out to you before I forget to. Here it is: December 12~ But Jesus beheld them, and sold unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Only faith can look past a seemingly impossible situation & believe that it will change. I believe you are a God of miracles, Lord. These are days of miracles, as were the days of Noah, Moses, & Joseph. I may not see the seas parted, peoples freed or congregations caught up to Heaven, but through faith I expect wonderful gifts from you. I believe that with you, all things are possible. Amen.
 The evening sky is fully upon us now. Doesn't take much as the days are so short here. In 2 weeks the days will start switching again & the days will become longer. Every day it will stay minutes lighter until we hit Spring where we shall turn the clocks ahead. Mom is hoping to see the stars & moon shining brightly tonight. No matter what I will whisper to you as I always do.Be listening out for my voice & smile when you hear it. Mom hopes that you have a wonderful night. May it be peaceful & relaxing. May it be all that you need & want it to be. Get some rest though. Sweet dreams my sweet precious son. Hope Mom sees you in my own dreams tonight when I fall asleep. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
