Dear Tyler,

Hi My sweet son. How are you doing on this Wednesday evening? Mom is doing ok. Today is another emotional day for us here. Today marks Amy's 2 year Angelversary in Heaven. She passed away after a short stay in the hospital & failing health. I remember that day so well. We were living in Texas when we got the call in the afternoon. Mom's heart sank. I knew her for a couple of years. She, as you know, set Mark & Mom up together. I will forever be grateful to her for that. She was such a sweet heart but the demons inside of her got the best of her. You met her on several occasions. You liked her. She was at your last birthday party with us all. I have that picture of you two. It is so sweet. She made you laugh many many times. Have you ever seen her? I told her to watch over you for Mom...keep an eye out to make sure you are behaving...lol. I know it was just Ron's & Rickie's 2 year Angelversary as well. You all passed so closely together..within months. My heart broke into tiny tiny pieces when I lost you & it just kept breaking when it was Ron, Rickie, Amy, Lucas & then Wendy. There were a few more as well in between. I think there was a total of 10 altogether just a matter of weeks apart. 2013 will forever be the hardest year for me.
 No real updates for you. Didn't talk to anyone today. They might all call later tonight though. The pups are doing better. They even played a little today. I think in another couple days they will be back to their old selves again. Glad that it is done & over with though. It has been a few rough days but I am glad that it is over with. They both will live longer & healthier now. That makes me happy. Just wish they didn't have to go through the pain. Ozzy is pretty much healed up... but Princess has a few more days to go. If only Ozzy would leave her alone. If you can help Mom out that would be super. Thanks Ty!
 The night sky is upon us. I did not see anything last night as I was looking but maybe I will get the chance tonight. The sky was kind of clear so not sure. Either way I will whisper to you as I always do so be listening out for Mom.
 Here is the daily prayer for today. December 9~ My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed & in truth. I wish to extend my love, Lord. So give me hands quick to work on behalf of the weak. Cause my feet to move swiftly in aid of the needy. Let my mouth speak words of encouragement & new life. And give my heart an ever-deepening joy through it all. Amen.
 Mom is hoping that you have a restful & quiet evening tonight. May you get rest & have the sweetest of dreams. Mom hopes to see you in my own dreams when I fall asleep tonight too. Be with me, I will always need you by my side. I know you will watch over us all. I love you my sweet precious son & I miss you like crazy. You will forever be in my heart, mind & soul.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
