Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday morning? Mom is writing to you know because I have a lot of things that need to get done today because we leave tomorrow to head up North. I wanted to make sure to get my letter written to you now because tonight Mark & Mom are going to have our Christmas together. I don't even think I will be putting my computer on at all today. Too much to do...lol. Mom is writing this to you from my cell phone so I won't get the chance to write the daily prayers to you on here again but I will write them all out to you tomorrow night when we are settled in our hotel room. I know I promised to do them on today's letter but I didn't realize I would be this busy. I guess I am not as organized as I thought I was...lol. I hope I didn't disappoint you or any of the folks who read my letters to you. I am sorry. 
 I can't believe that Christmas is in 3 days. I remember the times when you were little. Oh how you loved the lights & the way the houses were decorated. We would take you around so you could see them all. Your face would light up & you would smile so big. You were like Mom...always big into the holidays. I sure miss that my sweet precious son. I miss it all. I miss you more than words can say. I know that you will be with us in the only way you know how to now. Mom will make sure to leave a space at the table for you at Meme's so make sure you send me a sign to let me know you are with us. Thanks. 
 Mom doesn't have any updates for you today as I have not spoken to anyone at all. The phones have been quiet all morning & Mark is working from home. The pups are asleep on this very rainy day. Mom is getting ready to go run a few last minute errands that are needed & then home to have a night with Mark opening the gifts we got eachother & then watch a movie. It will be to bed early as Mom wants to get up early so we are on the road to beat the heavy traffic here. Please be with us during our driving to & from our little trip up to NH. I will be seeing & spending time with you on Saturday. I love you unconditionally, Tyler. You have always been my everything. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You live forever in my heart, mind & soul. Never forget this & always feel it in your soul. 
 Mom hopes you have a wonderful day & night doing all the things you are needed to do & want to do. Have fun later this evening when Mom is sleeping. Hope you get to have some adventures as well. I wonder if you are going around the world & seeing all the lights that are twinkling for Christmas??? I will whisper to you as I always do so be sure to listen for my voice later. Smile & I will too. 
 Mom has to get going now.....I will be thinking of you all day just like I always do. I will look to the sky tonight to see if I see the stars & moon. Not hopeful at this point as the sky is gray & cloudy right now but I will still look later. I did see the stars last night. I smiled & whispered to you. Hope you heard Mom. Good night & sweet dreams tonight. Come visit Mom. Thanks, Tyler. Until tomorrow......I love you ❤
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
