Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday evening? Mom is doing much better than I was yesterday. I did indeed get some sleep last night & I woke up this morning ready to tackle the day. I was busy this morning doing housework, laundry, getting things together for going up North in a couple days, taking the pups for a nice walk & spending some time on the phone chatting with a couple friends. Now it is going on 7 pm & I have ate dinner & did the dishes, spoke to Meme briefly on the phone & then I will be calling Grandpa in a little bit just to touch base with him as it's been a few days since we spoke. Everyone is just working a lot & trying to get things set for the holiday. Mom still can't get over the fact that Christmas is in 5 days & a New Year will be in 12 days. While we are in NH Mom will bring her laptop so that I can write to you during the evening hours. I know we will be busy while up there but I will write you a short letter each night. I know you understand as you will be right there with me & seeing all that I do. 
 This afternoon Andrea got in touch with Mom to let me know that Uncle Dick went in for his angioplasty today. It was a 2 hour procedure & then recovery. I was updates about an hour ago saying that all went well. He had a stint put in his main artery & he is on meds to try & take care of the other blockage. The doctors are hoping that he will be home for Christmas. That is wonderful news to here. I hope that he is able to go home as well. We both know 1st hand what it is like to be in the hospitals for all the holidays. Its no fun at all but we did the best we could. My friends brother, the one who was in the accident about 4 months ago left the hospital that he was at. He has been sent to rehab now...I thought it was great to hear that news until I heard where they sent him.....Crotched Mtn. Yep.... that is right.... my heart sank. I hope that he will do ok there. He has a mouth & is not afraid to use it....hmmm... that reminds Mom of someone....lol. I have expressed my concerns to the family & they know why. I know his angels that watch over him will do their best to make sure he is fine & he doesn't have to be there that long. I don't think Mom has anymore updates for you tonight. I do however have the daily prayer for you. Here it is: December 20~ The Lord says to my Lord, " Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool. " The Lord sends out from Zion your mighty scepter. A new king was born in Bethlehem, laid him in a manger, announced by angels & worshipped by wise men. Lord God, you handed authority to the Lord Jesus in order to accomplish a daring rescue mission. It's amazing, when I think about it, that you were venturing into enemy territory. Earth was, & is, full of people who resent you, resist you, & reject you---- and still you entrusted the royal child to this hurting planet. It's a magnificent story & it makes me want to worship you even more. Amen. Jesus used this psalm to explain his unique identity as both God & man, since the Lord God was granting authority to someone even King David ( the psalmist ) called " my lord. " Amen.
 Well, Tyler.... the night is very much upon us & it has been for a few hours now. They say that tonight will be the darkest of nights in over 500+ years. I hope that the sky will be clear so that I am able to see the moon & the stars shining bright but if not it is ok as Mom will still whisper to you as I always do each night. Smile when you hear my voice & I will smile as well. I hope that you night consist of everything you need & want to do my sweet precious son. I hope you have fun while Mom sleeps. If you can....come visit me in my dreams or be with me during the night. Thanks! I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. You are my hero, my wind beneath my wings. You will forever live within my heart, mind & soul. Never forget that. Good night & sweet dreams. Until tomorrow.....
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
