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!

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!
