Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday late afternoon? Mom is doing alright but I have been super busy all day long. It is already 4:15 pm & I have not even managed to get ready or do any cleaning that I wanted to. Guess that will all wait for tomorrow when I am here & Mark is at the office. I can get a lot more done that way anyways. Mom's day was getting up at 8:30 am & just starting to sort through my closet where all the gifts were. Mark left at 9 am & got home at 2 pm.  He went shopping for the day & did all his shopping I am guessing. Mom stayed home & literally sorted, bagged & wrapped everything that I need to do. I started at 10 am & finished at 3 pm. That was a long long time. I said to myself that the day was completely shot by doing all of it but it is done & I can sit back & relax the rest of the season & not worry about forgetting anything or anyone! Mom has your things all set as well so that when I come I can place them on your bench. I sure wish that you were here though. I miss you so much & this time of the year it is even harder. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You forever are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You will always be inside my heart, mind, body & soul. This letter to you will be pretty short considering I still need to prep dinner for Mark & I, feed the pups & then take a quick shower. Mom apologies about this but I will make it up to you in tomorrows letter when I have more time. The day escaped me. 
 Last night was quiet. Mom spoke to Debbie while Grandpa was at church. After that I took a long hot bubble bath & then curled up in bed & watched TV for a bit. Mom was out like a light by 10 pm though. Mark stayed up & watched TV. Tonight will be more of the same. I will call Grandpa though to say hi. I already spoke to Meme today. I will touch base with everyone during the week & give you the updates. Mom started the Christmas/Winter pictures to you on the first. Hope you will enjoy them as much as I had fun picking them out. I guess this will be the last week of seeing green grass. We are in for some snow by next Sunday. Guess we will go from having nothing to having 14 inches in 3 days. That is crazy but it is the time of year. I just hope that driving will be good for us at Christmas time to go to NH. Fingers are crossed for that! Not much else for today but here is a daily prayer for you:
 God never sends you into a situation alone. God goes before you. He stands beside you. He walks behind you. Whatever the situation you have right now, be confident. God is with you. Amen.
 Here is a saying for the day as well:
 Focus on the wonderful things about you & when your mind starts to criticize any part of you, stamp out those thoughts. Stop them immediately & switch your mind to the good things about you. If you focus on the good things about you, you will attract an abundance of the good things. Be kind to yourself, because you deserve it!
 Mom is hoping that you have a wonderful evening doing all the things you need to do & would like to do. Have fun while I sleep. Come be with Mom or visit me in my dreams if you can. Thanks pumpkin. I will whisper to you later tonight so be listening for my voice. Smile & Mom will smile too. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then.... fly high & free. Please watch over us. Thank you. Good night & sweet dreams my bright shining star. I love you.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
