Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is doing ok. Kind of tired though as I did nit sleep all that well last night. I know that we will be getting some cold weather & rain. The side of my face is hurting again but other than that I am doing just fine. Did a few things around the apartment today.... 2 loads of laundry & some housework too. Tomorrow I will have a little more to do & then I should be set for having a relaxing weekend. I can't believe that a week from today is Christmas Eve & we will be in NH once again. As much as this holiday hurts Mom I will be happy to see some of our family again. I will be sure to come down & spend some time with you on Christmas day. Really wish it was different & you were here with Mom in this world. I miss you so much. Mom is trying so hard to keep living life the way I should be & the way I know you want me too....it is just some days are so much harder than others. I sure do hope that I am making you proud with decisions that I am making. I hope you are smiling that beautiful smile that I love & miss like crazy. I love you my sweet precious son. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. Never forget this.
 Mom spoke to Aunt Beck last night for a bit & also with Grandpa. Things are good for them all. I really need to call Meme as I have not spoken to her in a few days. Pups are doing great & are completely back to their normal self. All healed up after 13 days! So glad that that is all over with. It was tough for the first few days that is for sure. They are sleeping & laying next to me as I am writing this letter to you. They may be a pain in the butt sometimes but they both are so dang sweet & cute..lol. Think that is all the updates for today. Maybe ore in a couple days.
 Here is the daily prayer for today. December 16~ And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another. Lord, teach me emulate your goodness. Amen.
 I think that was the shortest daily prayer ever...lol. That's ok though. They all don't have to be long. Well, it is that time of the day again were the night sky will be upon us in the next hour. Mom needs to get going & get dinner prep started so that we can eat around 6 pm. Today was sunny & chilly with a blue sky all around. Hope that it stays that way so that I will be able to see the stars & moon shining bright in the sky. No matter what Mom will whisper to you as I do each & every night. Be listening out for my voice. 
 Hope that your night is restful & all that you want it to be & need it to be. Sweet dreams tonight & I hope to see you in my dreams as well when I fall asleep tonight. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
