Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. I am so sorry that I did not write to you last night like I said I would on Friday. Mom had kind of a weird day yesterday. I was up early & did the normal things...feed the pups, make coffee for Mark, got ready, took pups for their walk & then Mark & I left to go run errands & do some shopping. I was fine all day until I got home. I put everything away, made an early dinner & about 6 pm I just felt weird. My body was achy & I was very tired. I was ready to go to bed at 6:30 pm. I made the decision to just not go on my computer or do anything other than lay on the couch, watch a movie & then go to bed. I didn't want to push it at all. Mom was in bed at 9 pm & asleep by 10 pm Mark said. He said that my head hit my pillow & I was out like a light. I woke up several times during the night but fell back to sleep rather quickly. Mom woke up this morning still feeling very tired & just not myself even on this very cold, sunny day. Mark & I were going to go out again today but we decided to just have another day where we did basically nothing. Mark went out briefly * Mom paid bills online. Now I am writing to you so that Mark can help me with my classwork. Hopefully he can explain it to me so I can understand it. I am hoping to submit another test tomorrow or Tuesday. Maybe this one I can pass. Please help Mom anyway you can. I sure could use it. Thanks pumpkin. 
 Meme called today & we spoke briefly. She was driving back from shopping. She was out doing some Christmas shopping. Bob stayed home as he was tired & didn't want to go anywhere. Grandpa & Mom will chat tonight like we usually do on Sundays. Debbie is still sick along with Grandpa & I hear that Bean is sick as well. So much colds, coughs, flu, stomach bugs are going around now. Aunt Shirley messaged me & we chatted for a bit. Things are okay with her & Grammy but Richard is getting sick now too. Please watch over us all so that we will all be healthy, happy & safe. I guess our family could really use it. Thank you. Not much else has happened over the weekend at all. Very quiet for the most part & that is just fine with Mom. I am sure to have more updates for you this coming week. Just a few more Fall pictures will be posted this week for you on here & then it starts the Christmas ones that I have been collecting for you. Friday is December 1st. That is hard to believe! That means in 35 days it will be a new year. It will be 2018..... it will be 5 years since you passed in less than 7 months. That really is hard for Mom to wrap her head around seeings how every day it feels like it just happened. I miss you like crazy. No words can express it at all. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You forever will be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You will always be in my heart, mind, body & soul. Later tonight Mom will whisper to you like I always do so be listening out for my voice. Smile when you hear Mom & I will be sure to smile to you too. Mom is hoping that tonight you will get the chance to come be with me while I sleep or visit me in my dreams or perhaps both??? I hope that you get to do some fun things as well while I do sleep. May you get to do all that you need & want to do. I will light my candles as I do each night for you, our family, our friends & our pets who have passed on & are with you now on the other side. Enjoy the candles, Tyler! Oh yeah.... today is Auntie Donna's birthday. Mom called her & left as message as she was not home. Make sure to send her a sign today to let her know you are there. 
 Here are the prayers & the sayings for the day:
 God never sends you into a situation alone. God goes before you. He stands beside you. He walks behind you. Whatever situation you have right now, be confident. God is with you. Amen!
 There's no battle, no scheme, no attack of the enemy that can keep us from God's love, His presence & His powers. Our trials will always serve us, teach us, & strengthen us in the end. Amen!  
 Life is short, So do the things that make you happy. Be with those who make you happy. Look for the good in every day~ Even if some days you have to look a little harder.
 Life is better when you cry a little, laugh a lot & are thankful for everything you got!
 Mom needs to get going so that I have time to do some school work & then get the dinner stuff going for the night. Later it will be watching TV & relaxing as tomorrow is Monday & Mark & I are back to the grind. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you... I do promise you that. I try not to skip any days but sometimes the days get the best of me. I do my best! Even if I skip a day, always know I will be back. I love you my bright shining star. To infinity & beyond. Good night & sweet dreams.......
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
