Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Saturday late afternoon? Mom & Mark have had a great day today. We were up early this morning, got ready, took the pups for a walk & then headed out for the day. We were able to do our grocery shopping, more Christmas shopping, & we went out & did more shopping for the toiletry drive that our complex is doing for the homeless & less fortunate. We were able to get all kinds of things for women, men, children. We got shampoo, conditioner, bar soap, shaving cream, razors, toothpaste, tooth brushes, Q-tips, deodorant & a few other things. I know that it will help out everyone & we were very happy to do it. Mark & Mom tend to do something like this every year. I know it is something that you wanted to do but Mom could never really afford it so I tend to help out others not just this time of year but year round whether it is for people or pets. It really makes my heart sing & smile. I hope you are smiling down on Mom too. When we were grocery shopping Mom kind of had a mini meltdown. I had to stop & collect myself. There was a magazine with Mickey Mouse in it & it was a picture that Mom has that I took when I first took you to Florida with the Make A Wish foundation. Just caught me off guard & it took me back to that place & time. I smiled & told Mark about it but I also shed a few tears. Mom misses you so much, Tyler. I miss everything...fighting & all. I love you more than anything. More than words can say. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. The night sky is upon us already & Mom needs to feed the pups & figure out dinner for tonight. Today just flew right by. Tonight we are going to relax, Mom is going to take a nice hot bubble bath & then sit & watch a Christmas movie before going to bed. Tomorrow Mom is going to tackle the closet & get all the gifts organized as Mark will be going out & doing whatever shopping he needs to get done. Then tomorrow night it will be relaxing again as the next day is Monday again. Weekends go by way too fast! Not much else happened today. Last night was very quiet. Mom was kind of thankful for that as I was not feeling the greatest. I guess I ate something that made my tummy hurt for a few hours. I crawled into bed & watch TV with Mark & went to bed fairly early. Mom did chat with Meme just a few minutes ago. Everything is okay on their end. Bob started the new medicine which makes him very tired she said. Hopefully it will help everything else as well when it gets in his system. Mom will call Grandpa & Debbie after I write to you so I can say hello & check in with them. I will touch base with everyone else during the week inbetween Mom studying. Here is the prayers for day:
 Thank you dear Lord for blessing me with another beautiful day. Please help me to think say & do only those things which bring honor & glory to Your Holy name. Amen
 Heavenly Father, please light the fire inside of me & give me the grace to keep it burning. I welcome You into my life Lord Jesus. Shine You love through me. Teach me all about You. I want to know every detail. Please guide my steps, open the doors that I should go through & close the doors that I should stay out of, in Your name I pray. Amen.
 Here are the sayings for the day as well: 
 A Saint was asked---" What is Anger....? " He gave a beautiful answer---" It is a punishment we give to ourself, for somebody else's mistake. "
 In happy moments...Praise God. In the difficult moments...Seek God. In the quiet moments...Worship God & in every moment...Thank God.
 Mom is going to get going so that I can feed the pups & get the night routine going seeings how it is 5 pm. I will whisper to you as I do every night so be listening for my voice. Smile pumpkin & I will smile back to you. Have a fun night while Mom is sleeping. Visit me if you can. You will always be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Forever in my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom will be back tomorrow with your next letter so until then.... Good night & sweet dreams my bright shining star!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
