Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Saturday early evening? Mark & Mom had to switch our plans today because when we woke up it was a winter wonderland outside. Just like the weather had stated we got snow last night & it did not stop until about 12 noon today. It sure was pretty watching it. Since we didn't want to go out in this weather Mom took advantage of staying in & doing the thing she has been putting off for a couple weeks now....wrapping the gifts. It took me a couple hours to do it all but it is all finished & I am ready to go to NH this week! I had the chance to talk to bot Meme, Bob, Grandpa & Debbie this morning. They said they were not going anywhere either as it was snowing. Guess they got a lot more than what we did, but I am ok with that. Oh I also spoke to Aunt Beck really quick too. All is well there. Forrest was visiting them for a couple of days but you already knew that didn't you! Tomorrow the weather is suppose to be in the upper 50's with rain. The snow we did get will be gone that's for sure..well at least most of it anyways. We may have a very tiny white Christmas here this year....not much though. 
 Mom decided to write to you know because I have already prepped dinner for the night. It takes awhile to cook so I had to start it early. The night will be Mark & Mom putting together a Hershey Chocolate train instead of a gingerbread house. That should be interesting...lol. Later it will be watching a couple Christmas movies & then going to bed because we have a very busy day ahead of us Sunday. We will be gone for most of the day now because we couldn't do anything today. 
 Mom doesn't have much updates for you, but what I do have is....Uncle Dick has been moved out of the ICU & into a regular room. There is fluid still in his lungs & he is stating that he is having a really hard time breathing still. RT came in & did a couple treatments on him but guess that really did nothing. The doctors are still concerned about his kidneys as well. Mom gets updates a couple times a day. Mom's friends son seems to be doing ok. The usual pain of course but hopefully he will have a speedy recovery...faster than what the doctors thought. That is Mom's wish for him. Thank you for watching over them & all of us for that matter. It means so much to Mom. I love you my sweet precious son. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. 
 Here is your daily prayer for the day: December 17~ Let me hear of your steadfast love in the morning, for in you I put my trust. Teach me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. Lord, thou hast given us thy Word for a light to shine upon our path; grant us so to meditate on that Word & to follow its teaching, that we may find in it the light that shines more & more until the perfect day; through Jesus Christ our Lord. The Lord will guide you continually & satisfy your needs in parched places & make your bones strong & you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters never fail. Amen.
 It is 4:15 pm & the night sky is already upon us. It was pretty quick tonight due to the storm we got. I know Mom will not see anything in the sky tonight as it is pretty gray & lots of clouds, but that is ok because I know you are shining bright for someone who needs it. Mom will whisper to you as I always do so just be listening for my voice. I will smile when I do & I will picture your smile in my mind as well. That smile I miss so much. I miss you like crazy...more than words can say. Don't ever forget that you are Mom's hero & the wind beneath my wings. You live forever in my heart, mind & soul. I hope that your evening will be filled with the things you need & want to do. May you have fun & a few adventures tonight as Mom sleeps. Please come & be with me or at least visit me in my dreams tonight. Thanks pumpkin! Continue to fly high & free wherever you may go. I know you love to fly! Good night & sweet dreams. Until tomorrow night.....Much love to you.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
