Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday evening? Mom had another good day today shopping! The weather was nice for a bit but then it got cold & overcast. I know we are suppose to be getting some rain for the next couple days so the clouds were definitely rolling in. While dinner is cooking I thought that i would take a couple minutes to write you a quick letter. This weekend sure did go by fast! It was one of the better weekends that I have had in a while. Sure it had some ups & downs today but overall nothing to loose sleep over. Mark & Mom did get a few calls today. Not sure what is happening but several family members & friends are sick & being rushed to hospitals. One because her PIC Line was infected, two because of strokes, one because of a cyst or appendix burst... it is just crazy. My heart is with every one of them. I know you are watching over them as well my sweet precious son. 
 Mom & Mark did a good deed today as well. Someone I know had a baby almost a week ago. She is a single Mom & the daughter of one of my friends. She got mostly everything she needed for her sweet baby girl but a few things she didn't so Mark & Mom went out & got her a couple things & something for her son as well. We were thanked beyond what needed to be. They all were so sweet. Mom is trying to set up a time to go meet the little baby. Hopefully before Christmas. Another friend's daughter wants to change her room over to Paris & the color Pink.....right up my alley, huh? My friend sent me a message last night saying she needed me to help her decorate her daughters room! I was in my glory! I love doing stuff like that & you know my love for Paris. It made Mom feel good, Tyler. There is so much hate in this world we live in right now & hearing nice things, doing nice things for others & paying it forward makes it a little brighter. 
 Mom doesn't really have any updates on Meme, Bob, Grandpa or Debbie as I have not spoken to any of them in a few days. Grandpa might call later tonight or tomorrow night. I do know that Aunt Shirley has to go back to the doctors this week. Things don't really look good there, Uncle Dick is out of the hospital again....he burst a muscle & that what was causing the redness/bruising/swelling in his arm. Great Grammy is doing well. I can't wait to go visit her in a couple weeks when I am there for Christmas. Aunt Beck, John & Bean are all well. They are just really busy too. I guess all in all we are doing well. We should as we have you for an Angel that is watching over us. That makes me so proud & it makes me smile under all the sadness that I have. I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my hero & my wind beneath my wings. You will forever live in my heart, mind & soul. Mom will whisper to you like I do every night. Be listening out for my voice. I will indeed smile for you & I will close my eyes & see you smiling back at Mom. Not sure if I will see the moon or stars but I will be looking for them in a little bit. Mom hopes that your night is all that you need & want it to be. Have fun & I am sure there will be an adventure or two for you as well! Come visit me when I am sleeping tonight. I love seeing you in my dreams. It lets me know that you are doing well. Thank you, Tyler! Before I finish this letter up I will write to you the daily prayer. Here it is: November 27~ I will praise the Lord as long as I live; i will sing praises to my God all my life long. Even if my ability to utter a sound gives way to silence in my old age, dear Lord, I ask that you would grant me grace to make music to you in my heart & mind to praise you even when my life is coming to an end. By then I should have a treasure trove of memories of the way you've blessed my life. There will be reasons, I'm sure, to be sad, but I'm hoping I will be long practiced in praise & thanksgiving so that I'll be more prone to see your graces in my situation than the disgraces of decline. Let me praise you today in preparation for those days ahead. Amen. You can guess the ending of your story with a fair amount of accuracy by the direction you are taking the plot today. Amen.
 Mom needs to end this letter now as I stopped a few minutes ago to eat dinner & now I have to do all the clean up. I think I will go watch one of our favorite movies & cuddle on the couch to feel closer to you. Hope you are with me. Good night & sweet dreams, Ty. Until tomorrow..... I love you.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
