Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday evening? Mom is doing alright. I am writing to you a bit later than normal as it is already 5:20 pm. Mark and I were suppose to have a date night but once again, his work interfered and he is doing a cutover this evening after working all day long. he never catches a break and he is also having to work this weekend. Just freaking crazy as no one else is doing what he is. I just wish Mark would realize just how much he does and just how much he gets used. Anyways....enough about that!
 Mom is sorry that there was no letter written last night but I took Meme out yesterday and we were gone from 10 am until after 2 pm. We got home and I put everything away and then sat down to have something to eat. After that I honestly didn't come up to my office nook and I stayed downstairs and watched a bit of TV. Mark was down around 6 pm to have dinner and then we all sat down and watched the Rockefeller's Center Christmas Special. Mom thought it was just for one hour and it was for 2. It started at 8 pm and didn't get over until after 10 pm. We all went to bed after...lol. 
 The weather here has been super cold. Only in the 60's during the day and in the low 40's at night. We are doing all that we can not to put the heat on...lol. It is cold but not like up North. No complaining here at all. Not much else has been going on. The phones have been quiet. No one really calls us here. It shows Mom that the only ones who really called when we were up North were Meme and Grandpa. Grandpa has only called 3 times since we have been here. That makes Mom very sad. I know it has to do with all the crap that went down with Debbie but Mom is not going to apologize if that is what she is waiting for. I have done nothing wrong and have said nothing wrong either. I am not going out of my way anymore either. I know that probably sounds harsh but I can't be the only one to do it all...period! I guess I will see just how long it takes for him to call Mom. There needs to be some serious changes if they still are planning on coming here. Mom will let you know how that all works out. No updates at all for you today.
 Mom is going to keep this letter short tonight so that I don't bother Mark while he is working. He started over 45 minutes ago. Mom will be back tomorrow afternoon with another letter though. In the morning, Mom and Meme are going out to get our nails done and then I have to take her to a couple other stores as well before coming home. Mark is suppose to have the day off but we shall see. I sure hope you have fun tonight doing all kinds of things that you need to do and want to do. Come visit Mom while I am sleeping if you can. Thank you. 
 I miss and love you more than anything in this world that I live in. 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. I hope you see the posts that I give you every day on facebook too. I do 1 or more every morning. I hope you smile. I miss that smile so much my sweet precious son. I will light the candle when I go downstairs in a few minutes too. I will whisper to you later as well. For now I am going to go downstairs and watch a movie with Meme so things up here are quiet. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

 Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of all the kingdoms under heaven will be handed over to the holy people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him. Daniel 7:27, NIV

Lord our God, dear Father, you have made yourself known on earth so that we may love you and be loved by you. Give us your Spirit, we pray. Give us your Spirit to strengthen us in the life and work you offer us. Watch over us on all our ways. Wherever your children are sighing and calling for you, protect and guide them with your mighty hand. Let your kingdom spread over the whole world, over all people, over all races and nations, that we may become united as servants of Jesus Christ to your honor. Amen.
