Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Saturday morning? Oh wow...it is almost 11:30 am. Mom didn't even realize that...lol. I have been up since 5 am. Mark was not feeling well and then we were having severe thunderstorms and the pups were scared. Mom got up and sat with them and let Mark sleep in as he was having such a rough time. Mom didn't sleep all that well either as there was so much on my mind with everything with Grandpa and Debbie. Mom is still really sad and I cried myself to sleep with no one knowing. I am having a very hard time with this. Meme told me this morning that she was very angry with Grandpa about all this. I told her and Mark not to get in the middle of it because this was about Mom and them 2. I don't want anyone else to have anymore hard feelings with this. It is not healthy for any of us. In time we shall see what happens and go from there. Mom can't have what Debbie has done to impact our life here with everyone. 
 We are busy here today moving things around. We all decided that since we will not have 2 more people living here, Mark and I have offered up an extra room for Meme and Bob to have a computer and sitting room. Mark changed offices and Mom will be getting her own office now. It is a big room with a view and it is so sunny in there, I will be happy! I need to pick out a paint color though to paint a couple of walls. I will be doing that in the next couple of days and then moving everything else in there. By mid week I will be in my new space and this nook will become Mark's sitting area. That will be nice for him! Meme is moving stuff around, Mark is almost all set up in his new space and Bob is sound asleep. Not sure what is going on with him. He says he can't keep his eyes open. He just wants to sleep all the time. He goes to the doctors Tuesday and Thursday so hopefully something will happen. Meme was saying that he is very mad at himself because of it. It definitely is a concern with what is going on. He seems to be worse now since his hospital stay then before. At least he was awake and starring but now it is that he just sleeps all day and all night. Mom will keep you updated on things with that. Not much else is going on this weekend. Mark has to work again tomorrow. It will be his 5th Sunday in the 8 weeks that we have been here. He gets to take Friday off though. He will have a 3 day weekend. We plan on doing a couple of things. We will be going to Sea World and then after Christmas we will be hitting Epcot again. It will be our Christmas gifts to each other. We didn't want to go all out for gifts this year as we have spent so much money already on this huge move plus we have gotten rid of so much stuff already....we didn't need to get new stuff! We all have everything that we could want and besides Christmas is for kids. None of us needs gifts. That is not what it is about. We will make a nice dinner again like on Thanksgiving and we will probably sit by the pool for the day and relax. It is suppose to be 75 degrees. We will make our usual phone calls, etc... but it will be just another day. Nothing is the same anymore since you have been gone. This is the 7th Christmas without you and it hurts Mom like hell. I know you are always near me but it is not the same my sweet precious son. I miss you so much and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. It is now after 2:00 pm. Mom has been helping Mark and Meme with things inbetween writing to you. Now it is my turn to move things into my new office. Mom will be back tomorrow afternoon with another letter to you. I will light your candle this evening and whisper to you before I go to bed. Have fun today and tonight while Mom gets some sleep. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thanks pumpkin. Until tomorrow..... good night and sweet dreams later tonight.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever. Hebrews 13:8, RSV

Thank you, Father in heaven, for gathering us together and opening a door which can be entered by all who are like children. You open the door for all who have the childlike hope that you are carrying out your purpose, that in the midst of the ruin and sin of world history, life remains, the life of the Lord Jesus Christ, life for all the world. No one can destroy this life, which will soon gather power until all people see him, Jesus Christ, who for the salvation of humankind is the same yesterday, today, and in all eternity. Amen.
