Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is really sorry that I didn't get a chance to write to you last night but things here as you can see are really crazy. The pups are driving me crazy. Ozzy won't leave poor Princess alone so that she can heal. I think he is doing ok but Ozzy is still having issues with being sick a few times a day & Mom is having a hard time with him wanting to drink. The vet should be calling me again some time tonight to check in so I will be chatting with her about my concerns. Yesterday was just not a good day for Mom either as you could tell. Just really emotional. I talked to you, did you hear my voice? Today started out rocky but it has gotten better as the day as gone by. Mark & Mom helped spread some Christmas cheer with some people that we know... they were in trouble & they asked for help & we did. It is all about the Christmas Spirit of giving. You know that Mom loves to help when I can & to make people smile. I think we did just that last night. You taught me that, to think of others before myself. You were always so good at that. You amazed me with all that you did. You still amaze me to this day. I know that you are busy & doing so many wonderful things up there & wherever you go to. Mom hears that you are learning so many new things & that makes me smile. I know you so well, that I know you are not slowing down any time soon. You had too many years where you couldn't do much here in this world so why would you now? Mom doesn't blame you at all, pumpkin! Do all the things you want to & can! 
 No updates for you today as I have not talked to anyone at all. It has been a quiet day as Mark worked from home. I have actually been laying in bed all day not feeling so hot & hoping that the pups would have laid down near me to relax & heal up but of course Princess wanted to & Ozzy didn't..go figure huh? Boys will be boys, hahaha. Anyways, Mom hopes to have more updates for you tomorrow. 
 I have a couple of daily prayers to type out to you so I am all caught up once again so here they are. December 7~ And straightway the father of the child cried out, & said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. I need to believe beyond the present darkness, for it threatens to stop me in my tracks. Steady me, God of infinite resources, as I collect my beliefs like candles to light & move through this dark tunnel of doubt & uncertainty. Inspire me to add new truths as they reveal themselves in my life. Along the way, help my unbelief. Amen.
 December 8~ Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Let your peace rest upon our home, dear God. We do not know how to love one another as you have loved us. We fail to reach out the way you have gathered us in. We forget how to give when only taking fills our minds. And, most of all, we need your presence to know we are more than just parents & children. We are always your beloved sons & daughters here. Let your peace rest upon our home, dear God. Amen.
 Well, the night sky is upon us now & the sky has been pretty overcast & cloudy all day. I doubt that Mom will see any of the stars or moon shining bright tonight but that is ok....as Mom will still whisper to you as I always do. I miss you so my sweet precious son. I have for the last 2 1/2 years & Mom always will. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. 
 I hope that tonight you will have all that you need & want. May you get a chance to slow down & get some rest. If you do then Mom wishes you many sweet dreams tonight & I hope to see you in mine as well. Please watch over Mom, Mark & the rest of our family & friends. Thank you. It means so much to me, but you know that already. Be listening out for Mom's voice later. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
