Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son. Hope your Monday was a good one for you with going all kinds of places & learning all kinds of new things. Mom's day started out really good, but by 10am it started to get crappy. I tried to get on the Internet to do my studying & it wasn't working, then I tried to put the tv on in the living room & it wouldn't work so I called the cable company & was dealing with them for over 3 hours. I finally gave up & stopped & just mellowed out unto Mark got home. He tried to get the tv to work & no go. Called the company & they said that it needed to be repaired so I tried calling someone & left a message. Mark did get the Internet & land line phone working so that is good. Just a mess. Mom was cooking dinner tonight & I lifted the cover off the pan & the grease got me & I got 2nd degree burns on my left forearm. It hurts but I will be ok. I put some ointment on it to try & take the sting away. Worked for a bit but it is hurting again. Definitely a Monday, huh? Mark is not feeling well. Tonight he experienced a very weird episode.... he was sitting at the table eating dinner, he stopped & was just staring into space so to speak, he got up from the table & went to the bathroom. Thought he was going to be sick but he didn't. I asked what happened & he said that he had tunnel vision, couldn't see or hear & couldn't feel his extremities. I was scared & still am. Can you please watch over Mark & Mom tonight? Be by our sides? I know you always are but Mom just wanted to ask you anyways. Thanks pumpkin.
Mom just wanted to write you a quick note to tell you that I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the wold. I miss you so much. I can't even express just how much because I have never been able to put it into words. I will write you a longer letter tomorrow now that everything is better. Mom just wants to be near Mark tonight & watch him as well. I know you will understand. Continue to watch over our family & friends. Mom hopes that you have an amazing night doing all that you want & need to. I hope that if you can get some rest you will have sweet dreams & Mom hopes to see you in my own tonight as well. Mom will look for the moon later & the stars shining bright. I will whisper to you as I always do. Be listening out for me. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul. Remember that my sweet precious son. Love you!
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son. How are you doing today on this sunny Sunday morning? Mom is so sorry that I have not written to you in 3 night but as I know you can see all you will have seen that Mom has been pretty sick. Thursday night started it all when I went to bed. I did not sleep hardly at all as I was up most of the night. I kept calling for you to be right by my side & I do believe you heard Mom because every time that I did I started to sleep more & feel somewhat better so thank you for being by Mom's side. I haven't felt that sick in a very long time. Friday Mom did nothing but lay on the couch watching tv. As I felt that I could have been doing something far more productive I think that is what my body needed. I did take a nap in the afternoon & I was in bed at 8:30pm that evening. Saturday started out to be a fairly good day & just progressively got worse by the hour. Mark was feeling pretty tough too yesterday. I know you continued to be with Mom & mark & again, I thank you so much. I need you with Mom all the time. I miss you so much. I talked to you throughout the last 3 days even though I could not write to you...did you hear Mom? I hope so my sweet precious son. Right now as I am writing your letter I am looking at your picture. Oh how it makes me smile & sad all at the same time. Mom misses you so much. That smile, your voice, those eyelashes. Mom misses everything. Wish that you were still here so I could see you, talk to you, hug you, laugh with you, cry at times when needing to, but I know you are happy now & at peace & that would just be selfish of Mom. Just always know that I love you more than life itself & I always will. You will continue to be my everything, now & forever.
Not much for updates from Mom today as I really haven't spoken to anyone in the last few days. I know that Grandpa & Debbie are well, as they called us last night. I am assuming that everyone else is ok. Marion & Charlie went to visit you & said that your bench & stone are beautiful. Meme planted some flowers there too. Everyone says those are very nice & you can see them right off. I hear that Grandpa comes to visit you often & enjoys sitting on the bench. That is what it is there for & I am so happy that family & friends are using it. I sure do hope you like it. Mom is hoping to get up there next weekend so that I can actually see it in person & not just in pictures. I hope to bring you something special too....just not sure what yet!
There are a lot of daily prayers for me to write out so I want to start them right now. August 27~ For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. Good morning, Lord. I have another busy day ahead of me. This may be the only minute I have to talk to you. Please tap me on the shoulder now & then---no matter how busy I am----and remind me that the world does not revolve around me.
August 28~ iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. God, you have given me friends to illuminate my path & make it smooth. They guide me when I am lost & support me when I stumble. Thank you for bringing them into my life.
August 29~ And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain. With boldness & wonder & expectation, I greet you this morning, God of sunrise & rising dew. Gratefully, I look back to all that was good yesterday & in hope, face forward, ready for today.
August 30~ verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep & lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. God, thank you for sometimes reminding me that in the center of chaos lies the seed of new opportunity & that things are not always as awful as they seem at first. I often forget that what starts out bad can end up great & that it is all a matter of my own perspective. Amen.
Wow... finally caught up from the last few days. Mom has to go out & run all the errands that she has needed to from not doing so the last few days of being sick. Mom hopes that you have a wonderful day doing so many things no matter where they take you. I know that you are very busy going places, seeing & healing many people, & learning all that you can. Mom is so very proud of you. Always was & always will be. May you have a restful & peaceful evening tonight. Mom will be looking to the sky tonight to see the moon & stars shining. I will whisper to you as I always do. Hope you will be listening out for my voice. Hope the moon tonight is as beautiful as it was last night. tried to take a picture of it but it didn't come out. Continue to fly high & fly as free as you can. Give kisses & hugs to max & Snickers for me. Miss them so much as well, but I know they are in good hands with you. That makes me smile. have sweet dreams tonight if you rest 7 may Mom see you in my own dreams as well. I miss you & love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world.

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Wednesday evening? Just got in from taking the pups for their night walk & what did Mom see.... the moon shining bright. It made me so happy & I smiled. Did you see it? Hope so. The weather today was finally nice. The sun actually came out for most of the day. Mom's headache went away & I did a lot of studying. 3 more chapters down & 3 quizzes taken.... all 100's. Mom's GPA is a 99. Can't get any better than that. I am proud of myself & taking this new course slow & checking everything twice. Mom really wants to make Deans is this time. I know you will be looking out for Mom just like you did before. Hope you are proud of Mom too.
Not much to update you on. Spoke to Grandpa tonight. He is sick & landed in the hospital Sunday. He has a bad head cold & sore throat. He got some antibiotics & is doing better. I know you were with him & watching over him so thank you. Mark is working a lot & as I said earlier, Mom has just been studying. Pups are doing better too.
Ok... I need to catch up on my daily prayers to you. Here they are. August 24~ Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, & riches, & wisdom & strength & honour & glory & blessing. The light that shines upon me, the arms that reach to hold me, the warmth that gives me comfort, the angel's wings that enfold me. The word that gives me power, the song that makes me whole, the wisdom that empowers me, the touch that heals my soul.
August 25~ And Jesus went about all the cities & villages, teaching in their synagogues & preaching the gospel of the kingdom, & healing every sickness & every disease among the people. Loving Jesus, Healer of the Sick, I place in your hands myself & all who need your healing, in body or spirit. Help us crave the healing that only you can give. May we not define what that healing should be, but accept your gift of abundant life however you give it to us. In your way, in your time, restore us to full health & wholeness. Amen.
August 26~ For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but in abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God. Thank you, God, for the salesclerk who took an extra moment to be gracious, for the person who delivered my mail, & for the drivers who yeilded to me without hesitation. I do not know their names, but they blessed me today with their hard work & positive attitudes.
All caught up for now again! The evening sky is completely upon us now. The stars should be shining as well & Mom will look for them later tonight. I will whisper to you as I always do so please be listening out for Mom. Hope your night is all you want & need it to be. Rest if you must & if you do I wish you so many sweet dreams. Hope Mom sees you in my own dreams as well. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul. Mom misses you & loves you unconditionally my sweet precious son. To the moon & back & all the way around the world.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
PS Make sure to stop in & see Bob & your sweet friend Ashley Colby tonight as it is both of their Birthdays. Just be nice & don't scare them...lol. Love you xoxoxo.

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this nasty wet Tuesday evening? The weather here again is rainy, wet, hot & humid. This is day 6. We are suppose to be getting some really bad thunderstorms later tonight so Mom wanted to write to you really quick to tell you that I miss you & I love you so much. The last couple of days Mom has been busy with college classes & doing every day life stuff..cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. Yesterday, Mom read 3 chapters in her book & took 3 quizzes. I got 2~ 100's & 1~ 97. My GPA is 98 right now! I am hoping to do really well in this course & get an A with Deans List this time. Mark has been so crazy busy with work too. Traveling a lot here & there. He has been really tired & run down. The pups have been acting weird... they have been sleeping a lot & both have been sick. Princess vomited early this morning & Ozzy did the same this afternoon. Just weird... If they don't feel better they will be going to the vets to be looked at. Mom is hoping that the sun will shine tomorrow. This weather has been playing havoc on my face.. where the bones are broken. It hurts & gives me a headache. I am so ready to feel better & have the sun shining in!
Lets see.... updates for the last couple days are pretty slim. Spoke to Aunt Beck today & she is doing better. She was told that her bite that she got was from some kind of brown spider. She is doing better now & Mom is so happy. Her & John have some travel plans coming up so they both need to be in good health to do this. Mom knows that you are always watching over them & us all the time. Thank you so much. Haven't spoken to Grandpa or Meme yet this week so Mom will assume that all is well & they are just busy. The rest of the family is doing good too. Look in on Bean as she is dealing with some issues. Mom knows she will appreciate it. Thanks again.
The weather is starting to get darker & worse. Mom will write out the daily prayers to you tomorrow when it is daylight. Of course Mom will not be seeing the moon & stars shining bright in the sky tonight again. Doesn't matter though because I will be whispering to you as I always do. Hope you will be listening for my voice.
Mom hopes that you night is all that you need & want it to be. If you are busy with things & you get a chance to slow down & rest...may you close your eyes & have the sweetest dreams possible. Mom hopes that I get to see you in my dreams tonight when I fall asleep. You will forever be in my heart, mind & soul. I love you unconditionally.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son. How are you doing today on this very rainy afternoon? The weather has been this way for the last 4 days & will continue still into Wednesday of this week. Guess we needed the rain after all the hot & humid weather we have been receiving. Mom is sorry that I didn't write to you yesterday. We didn't go anywhere at all & I didn't do all that much either, but Mom wasn't on her computer either. The internet here has been really acting strange the last few days. Mark is looking into it so if Mom doesn't write to you for a day or 2 that is the reason. Today, we went out & did some shopping, had lunch & came back home. Just really a crappy day here. The rain is making Mom's head hurt where Snicks bit me & where I was hurt from the car accident. Weather like this always effects me that way, cold weather too. Something Mom has lived with for many years now.
Let's see on updates..... Great Grammy is all better. She did not have any broken bones or have a stroke from her fall so that is outstanding news. She went back to the nursing home today. She sounded good & was chatty. Grandpa & Debbie are good. Working a lot of hours & staying busy. Meme & Bob are doing ok. Best they can be at least. Aunt Beck had company this weekend...Forrest...you know him. John is doing good. Mark is doing little things today & then going to play his computer game with his brother & Mom is writing to you right now, doing laundry & later going to do a little studying. Thinking Mom will need to have football running in the back ground though..lol. Pre games started last weekend. Can't wait for the season to start. Mom roots for your teams when they play! Sure do miss watching it with you. Miss us both yelling at the tv when a dumb play has been called & listening to you hoot & holler at the cheerleaders...lol Mom misses everything about you so much. It has been 2 years & 2 months since you have been gone & everyday my heart aches. I miss your voice, your smile, your laugh, Mom just misses everything about you & all the things we did. I love you unconditionally still & I always will. To the moon & back & all the way around the world.
Ok... Mom has several daily prayers to catch up on so I want to get them started before this dang internet acts up again. August 20~ Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery & harp: I myself will awake early. Lord, thank you for being a God of new beginnings. Give me a fresh start today as I trust in you. Amen.
August 21~ Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving & make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. Lord, how blessed we are to be able to see you all around us & to sense your presence within us. Even though we can't see you in the same way we might see a friend or a neighbor, we see you in your Word & in all that is good & true in the world around us. Thank you, Lord, for making yourself so available to us.
August 22~ Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life. Teachers are like gardeners---planting seeds of discovery, cultivating curiosity & nurturing the joy of learning. Lord, as another school year beckons, I thank you for all who have been good teachers to me & to the children in my life.
August 23~ For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. When we truly forgive those who have wronged us, we feel as light as angel's wings & as free as a child at recess. Heavenly Father, help me to forgive.
Alright... all caught up! Mom feels better now! I enjoy writing out the prayers to you so I hope you enjoy them as well. Meme just tried to call Mom so I will end this letter to you so that I can call her back. Just want to make sure that everything is ok & nothing is wrong. Hope that your afternoon & evening is all that you want & need it to be. May you have sweet dreams tonight when you rest your eyes & Mom hopes to have sweet dreams too & to see you in them. Please continue to watch over Mom, Mark & our family & friends. Thank you, Tyler. Means so much to Mom & us all. I don't think that the stars & moon will be shining bright tonight again but no worries.... Mom will whisper to you as I always do. Give Snickers & Max a big hug & kiss for me.
Talking to Meme & she told me that Aunt Beck just got out of the hospital. Watch over her, as I know you will. Love you.
You are forever in my heart, mind & soul.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Mark is doing little things today & then going to play his computer game with his brother & Mom is writing to you right now, doing laundry & later going to do a little studying. Thinking Mom will need to have football running in the back ground though..lol. Pre games started last weekend. Can't wait for the season to start. Mom roots for your teams when they play! Sure do miss watching it with you. Miss us both yelling at the tv when a dumb play has been called & listening to you hoot & holler at the cheerleaders...lol Mom misses everything about you so much. It has been 2 years & 2 months since you have been gone & everyday my heart aches. I miss your voice, your smile, your laugh, Mom just misses everything about you & all the things we did. I love you unconditionally still & I always will. To the moon & back & all the way around the world.
Ok... Mom has several daily prayers to catch up on so I want to get them started before this dang internet acts up again. August 20~ Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery & harp: I myself will awake early. Lord, thank you for being a God of new beginnings. Give me a fresh start today as I trust in you. Amen.
August 21~ Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving & make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. Lord, how blessed we are to be able to see you all around us & to sense your presence within us. Even though we can't see you in the same way we might see a friend or a neighbor, we see you in your Word & in all that is good & true in the world around us. Thank you, Lord, for making yourself so available to us.
August 22~ Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life. Teachers are like gardeners---planting seeds of discovery, cultivating curiosity & nurturing the joy of learning. Lord, as another school year beckons, I thank you for all who have been good teachers to me & to the children in my life.
August 23~ For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. When we truly forgive those who have wronged us, we feel as light as angel's wings & as free as a child at recess. Heavenly Father, help me to forgive.
Alright... all caught up! Mom feels better now! I enjoy writing out the prayers to you so I hope you enjoy them as well. Meme just tried to call Mom so I will end this letter to you so that I can call her back. Just want to make sure that everything is ok & nothing is wrong. Hope that your afternoon & evening is all that you want & need it to be. May you have sweet dreams tonight when you rest your eyes & Mom hopes to have sweet dreams too & to see you in them. Please continue to watch over Mom, Mark & our family & friends. Thank you, Tyler. Means so much to Mom & us all. I don't think that the stars & moon will be shining bright tonight again but no worries.... Mom will whisper to you as I always do. Give Snickers & Max a big hug & kiss for me.
Talking to Meme & she told me that Aunt Beck just got out of the hospital. Watch over her, as I know you will. Love you.
You are forever in my heart, mind & soul.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Friday evening? I see that today is Ron Nepo's birthday. I bet you are having fun celebrating his day with him...maybe a little poker for the 2 amigos??? Please tell him Momma T says Happy Birthday & that I miss & love him too. Thanks, T.
Mom is doing fairly well today. Feeling much better than I have in the last few days. Did lots of things the last few days. Put together 3 small bookcases & did some rearranging of stuff in the apartment. It was fun. I really like doing things like that. Did lots of housework along the way too. Kept pretty busy. Did some studying for my board exam too. Oh yeah, Mom got her certificate in the mail today for my college course I just completed. Already framed & hanging on the wall. Makes me feel proud. I know you are proud of Mom too. Thanks for always being with me & being by my side. Means so much to me.
I didn't get a chance to write to you last night as Grandpa & told me that Great Grammy took a bad fall & was at the hospital. He stayed with her for several hours yesterday & today. Guess she took a pretty bad one, so bad that the doctors thought she might have had a stroke. She didn't even know who Grandpa was after it happened. He was telling Mom that Grammy knew no one & would just lay there looking at the ceiling with glazed eyes. Makes me so sad. She is 95 years old. Today, they did tests, CT Scan, etc.... found out no broken bones, no stroke, just a bladder infection. She was drinking & eating today too. She will be released tomorrow providing that all is well tonight. Mom is sure that you were with her through the whole thing. Thank you. Grandpa & Debbie are good. Just tired. Meme & Bob are doing well. Bob seems to be feeling better too. Aunt Beck & John are good. John is healing nicely since his surgery. Mark & Mom are doing ok. Just busy with studying, work, the pups & every day life.
The evening sky is upon us & the weather today was rainy, stormy, & overcast most of the day so I know that there is no stars shining bright or the moon. Mom will whisper to you as I always do. Hope you will be listening out for my voice.
Tonight, Mom hopes that you continue to celebrate Ron's birthday with him & celebrate for Auntie Kristi too as today is her special day. May your night be all that you need & want it to be. Make sure if you are playing poker you win..lol! If you get to rest, may you close your eyes & have sweet dreams. Mom hopes to see you in my own tonight. I miss you so much & love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul my sweet precious son.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
PS. Mom will write the daily prayers to you tomorrow. Sorry but just getting tired & I wanted to at least write to you tonight xoxoxo.

Wednesday, August 19, 2015
Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is hoping that you are busy doing all kinds of things that you are asked of & things that you want to do as well. Mom is hoping that you are in the sun & have the warmth beaming down on your face like you always loved. Today has been a better day for Mom but still not the greatest. As you could probably already see, Mom has not been feeling well since Monday afternoon. Last night Mom went to bed real early as I was just so tired from the night before from not sleeping. Mom is really sorry that I didn't write to you at all last night. Even though I didn't I don't want you to think that you were not on my mind because that is the furthest from the truth. Mom whispered to you last night before I went to bed...could you hear me? Sure do hope so my sweet precious son. Mom thinks of you all the time, I look at your pictures constantly throughout the day. Sometimes Mom laughs, sometimes I cry, & sometimes both. Mom misses you so much it hurts like h*ll. No words could ever describe the pain that Mom goes through every day since you passed. I love you so much. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. Please always remember & know this.
For updates~ Spoke to Grandpa... both him & Deb are doing well. Working as usual but they are good. Going to call meme tonight as I have not heard from her in about a week. Not sure what that is all about. Going to call Aunt Beck too. Haven't heard how John is doing since his surgery a couple weeks ago. I know that she has been quit busy though. Guess everyone else is ok. Mom tries to keep up with everyone via facebook but sometimes I am just too busy to see it all. I know that you do & that you are watching over us all & that makes me so happy! Mark is working hard as usual. Been a busy week for him so far & the next 2 days will be no different. We are going to try & get up to NH this weekend but still unsure of that. If not this coming weekend, next weekend for sure. It has been 6 weeks since we were there. Doesn't seem possible but time is definitely going by really fast. Mom enrolled in more college classes for another 2 certifications. This time it is Medical Coding & Billing. I have read the 1st 2 chapters already & have done 2 quizzes. Got a 100 on the 1st one & a 90 on the 2nd one ( I got 2 answers wrong ). So that is an A & a B so far... with a GPA of 95. Today, I was going to study but decided to put together the desk that I ordered. It finally came in. It took me 2 1/2 hours to do it but Mom can say that she put it all together by herself! I was so proud! Hey... it didn't even fall apart when it was moved so Mom did something right...lol! Think that is all the updates for today.
Here are the daily prayers that I need to catch up on. August 18~ I said, days should speak, & multitude of years should teach wisdom. Dear God, help me see that aging, like being born, happens one day at a time. Calm my fears that it will overtake & overwhelm me. Help me briefly mourn youth as only a butterfly cocoon that must crumble to set the new creature free.
August 19~ When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Whether we admit it or not, we all long to feel welcomed & accepted by others. Just as Jesus connected with people outside his circle of disciples, we need to connect with people outside our comfort zone & mirror God's acceptance of all people. Heavenly Father, help me to reach out to all those you would put in my path.
Mom is caught up on now, once again. I am hoping that now that I have my new desk & a place to study, work, etc... I will be writing more to you in a more comfortable area. That is a goal of mine! Anyways, it is now 5pm & Mom needs to get going & start making dinner & feed the pups too. Mom hopes that you have a wonderful evening doing what you love to do & need to continue to do while I sleep at night. If you get the chance to rest, may you close our eyes & have the sweetest dreams possible. Mom hopes to see you in her dreams tonight as well when I fall asleep. Fly high & free, Tyler. Miss you so much & I love you beyond words. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul. Give Daisey, Max, Snickers, Baxter, Spencer, Snapples, Ziggy & Friskie hugs & kisses from me. Miss them all too.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo, Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing today on this Monday evening? Hope you are somewhere sunny & warm where the sun beams down on you all the time the way I know you like it. Mom started off having a good day & then during the afternoon I started to feel ill. Mom still feels yucky & will be going to bed fairly early tonight so that is why I wanted to write to you now. The weather here was hot & humid & felt great. Mom sat outside for a couple hours earlier watching the planes go by. I lost count at 50...lol! Mom was also looking at the clouds & every one that I saw looked like a puppy. This made me smile. Mom often looks at the sky & wonders where you are, what you are doing, etc... Those questions always cross my mind. Guess Mom will continue to wonder... I will dream that you are happy, learning, & flying high & free. Only want the best for you still. That is nothing new & nothing that will ever change.
Lets see..updates for you today. Mark took another certification test over the weekend & he passed with flying colors. Not surprised there at all though. Talked to Grandpa & all is well there. Need to call Aunt Becky & Meme to see how they are as it has been a few days since we all spoke. Mom enrolled in more college classes today. Mom is now going to be taking Medical coding & billing. This will give me 2 more certificates along with the one that I just got. This will take me a little while longer as Mom will do this one part time while I look for work. It is exciting but hoping that I am not getting in over my head. I know you will be with me every step of the way. Thank you! Think that is it for now.
Here are the daily prayers that Mom needs to catch up on. August 15~ For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Lord, I often pray for others when I need to pray with others. Show me the power of shared prayer as I meet with others in your name & in your presence. Amen.
August 16~ And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Dear heavenly Father, I truly want to do good toward others. I don't want to just talk about being good. I desire to be more compassionate. God, I need for you to teach me to be far more sensitive to the needs & sorrows of the people you have placed in my life & to be kind & encouraging toward them. I need for you to teach me how to truly love. I pray for this with all my heart. Amen.
August 17~ He is like a man which built a house, & digged deep & laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, & could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. Dear Lord, help me to build on a firm foundation by relying on your wisdom, diligently seeking your direction in all I do & learning to walk in your paths of kindness, peace, & justice to all those in my life. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Mom is all caught up again for a bit. Again, Mom is hoping to get these daily prayers to you when they are on that exact day. If Mom gets busy then I will make sure to write you a small letter with that prayer, & at least you will get something from Mom daily. I know you see me & what I deal with... you understand & never would judge. Thank you so much for that. Mom tries so hard, but I believe that I need to try even harder. Have patience with me, please. Thank you.
The evening sky is approaching us very quickly. Mom hopes that you have a night with all that you need & want. If you rest, please close your eyes & have sweet dreams. Hope to see you in my own tonight as well. Please continue to watch over us all like you always do my sweet precious son & angel. May you fly high & free & do all that you need & want to. You will forever be in my heart, mind & soul. You will always be the wind beneath my wings. Mom loves & misses you so much.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Hope to see you in my own dreams tonight. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul.

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Friday evening? Mom is just having another rough day. This week has been h*ll for Mom...ugh! Today, we got the wall patched from the whole water heater ordeal. Monday will get another coat & Tuesday they will go ahead & paint it. Can't wait to it all to be done. Today, when the gentlemen was here to do the work, the pups were barking so Mom went to grab them. I got Princess & the Ozzy. He didn't want to be held & he was wiggling around.... Mom went to put him down & he did a face/nose plant full force into my mouth. My gums are swollen & it huts to talk or eat. My mouth bled for quite some time too. What a mess. Mom has been taking Tylenol all day long for the pain. It helps but dang.... Ozzy has a hard face...ugh!
The weather here was beautiful & hot. The next several days are going to be in the high 90's. It is going to be humid. Don't think there will be many more days like that left so Mom will be enjoying them while I can. The sky should be pretty clear tonight so Mom will be looking for the stars & moon shining bright. No matter what Mom will whisper to you as I always do so be listening out for my voice.
Let's see...updates... Mark went on a road trip for work & did a job all on his own. Things went well & he got kuddos from all his bosses. That was awesome & Mom was so happy for him. Got my score on my last 2 tests that Mom took for school. I got a 95 & 92 on my final exam. Both were A's but not enough to put bring my GPA up. Mom missed Dean's List by 1 point & an A average for the whole course by 1/2 a point. Mom is pretty upset about that but there is nothing I can do. To say the least Mom is bummed out but I will get out of that funk...sometime. Mom knows that so many are proud of me & Mom knows you are as well. Thank you for being with Mom through it all. Wish we could talk as Mom could really use a good pep talk from you. I miss you so much & love you to the moon & back & all the way around the would my sweet precious son.
Here are the daily prayers that Mom needs to catch up on. August 12~ And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat. Bless the food I eat today, And let it remind me once again that the soul, like the body, lives & grows by everything it feeds upon. Keep me drinking only the good & the pure, for your glory. Amen.
August 13~ For thy mercy is great above the heavens; & thy truth reacheth unto the clouds. His love is wider than our worries, longer than our loneliness, stronger than our sorrows, deeper than our doubts & higher than our hostilities. This is why valleys are so wide, rivers so long, winds so strong, oceans so deep & the sky is so high----with these, we can have a picture of the wonder of his love.
August 14~ Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, & thy lips with rejoicing. There are broken places in our family, & it's hard, serious work patching them up. In the midst of all there is to do, we feel God leading us outdoors to splash in rains & across beaches where we are rejuvenated by the sheer pleasure of playing. Laughter, in God's splendid creation, is good for the heart, mind, body, soul & most certainly our family.
Ok.... all caught up! The evening sky is completely upon us now. Mom hopes that you have an evening where you do all that you want & need. If you rest tonight, sweet dreams to you & hopefully Mom will see you in her own dreams tonight. Remember you are forever in my heart, mind & soul.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
PS Today is your cousin Tony's Birthday. He is in Florida so go visit him! Also, pregames for football started yesterday. Green Bay played Patriot's...Green Bay won & San Diego Chargers played the Cowboys & the Chargers won... stop laughing...lol! Love you, Ty!

Wish we could talk as Mom could really use a good pep talk from you. I miss you so much & love you to the moon & back & all the way around the would my sweet precious son.
Here are the daily prayers that Mom needs to catch up on. August 12~ And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat. Bless the food I eat today, And let it remind me once again that the soul, like the body, lives & grows by everything it feeds upon. Keep me drinking only the good & the pure, for your glory. Amen.
August 13~ For thy mercy is great above the heavens; & thy truth reacheth unto the clouds. His love is wider than our worries, longer than our loneliness, stronger than our sorrows, deeper than our doubts & higher than our hostilities. This is why valleys are so wide, rivers so long, winds so strong, oceans so deep & the sky is so high----with these, we can have a picture of the wonder of his love.
August 14~ Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, & thy lips with rejoicing. There are broken places in our family, & it's hard, serious work patching them up. In the midst of all there is to do, we feel God leading us outdoors to splash in rains & across beaches where we are rejuvenated by the sheer pleasure of playing. Laughter, in God's splendid creation, is good for the heart, mind, body, soul & most certainly our family.
Ok.... all caught up! The evening sky is completely upon us now. Mom hopes that you have an evening where you do all that you want & need. If you rest tonight, sweet dreams to you & hopefully Mom will see you in her own dreams tonight. Remember you are forever in my heart, mind & soul.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
PS Today is your cousin Tony's Birthday. He is in Florida so go visit him! Also, pregames for football started yesterday. Green Bay played Patriot's...Green Bay won & San Diego Chargers played the Cowboys & the Chargers won... stop laughing...lol! Love you, Ty!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this Thursday evening? Today was another crazy day for Mom. We finally got hot water back after 4 days & now the maintenance guys need to come back & fix the big ole hole in our wall. They will start it tomorrow & finish on Tuesday of next week. What a big mess but things could have been a lot worse for us. Mom feels like crap still. I have been getting up so early in the morning & going to bed really late & it is taking a huge toll on me. Mom is just so tired that I will be going to bed very soon but again I wanted to at least write to you to tell you that I love you & miss you so much. Mom talked about you a lot today to the plumber that was fixing our water tank. He said you looked just like me & that made me smile so big. Gosh, Mom misses you so much, Tyler. It hurts every day. Please know that you are loved beyond anything I could ever express. Mom knows that I have so many daily prayers to write to you but I am just so tired that I just can't. My head is killing me right now. It hurts so bad. It is going on 8 pm & Mom thinks she will be powering down in about an hour or so. Just need to let some Tylenol kick in. Mom will make sure to write to you tomorrow so it will be a long letter. Hope that you have a wonderful evening tonight wherever you are. Sweet dreams to you my sweet precious son. Mom hopes to not have nightmares like last night & I am hoping to dream of you in a good way. Please watch over us. Thanks pumpkin. Know that you are forever in my heart, mind & soul.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing today on this Tuesday afternoon? Hope you are somewhere beautiful & sunny where the sun shines down on your sweet face the way you like it. Today the weather is very rainy, cooler than it has been & very cloudy. It feels good for a change but boy Mom can tell that Fall is coming faster than we all know it. Soon it will be winter again..blah! Things here in the apartment are still the same as last night. The plumber that the complex was counting on was a no show so they came by this morning to tell us that they have to wait on another plumber to come....that was almost 5 hours ago & still nothing. There seems to be even more of a problem than what they thought. The hot water is off but yet we are getting hot water ( very little ) but don't know how as everything is turned off. The temp on the water heater should be very low to zero & it is staying at 120 degrees. Mark stayed home from work today so that Mom didn't have to deal with these guys myself with the pups. We are hoping that things get fixed very soon so that we can have water, shower, cook, etc... things are just messy. Mom wanted to take the time while things were quiet to write to you because I know that when the men come by to start the fixing of everything, the pups are going to go crazy & we will have our hands full.
Not much to really update you on. Grandpa told me that he went to see you yesterday. He sat at your bench & had a nice conversation with you. That made me tear up. He really thinks your stone & bench is beautiful. Mom thinks so too. We were going to head up there this weekend but all the hotels are booked so we can't. We have no where to stay. We are going to try next weekend though. Mom sent your Dad a text with the pictures so that he could see them. He liked them as well. He was telling me that he is in Dallas, Texas right now doing a job for the next 3 months. Mom asked how the family was doing & he said he really didn't know as he is rarely ever with them. That was sad to hear but I guess that is their way of living. Everyone else seems to be well. Haven't heard anything else otherwise. Will keep posting to you as Mom knows things. I know that you hear & see all but Mom still likes to write it to you. Helps me. In ways this blog & my letters to you have become a journal for me. Anyways....
Here are the daily prayers that Mom needs to catch up on for you. August 9~ O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. Gratitude may be the most underestimated virture. We think of love, hope, faith, & the power of prayer & forgiveness. But how often do we stop each day & give thanks for all the blessings in our lives? Are we too focused on what we lack, what we don't have, don't want, don't need? By opening the heart & mind on focus on gratitude, we unleash a treasure of unceasing good that's just waiting to flow into our lives. A grateful person knows that by giving thanks, they're given even more to be thankful for. Holy Spirit, open my heart & mind to gratitude for your gifts.
August 10~ But the Lord is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge. You are the mighty wind that lifts me up on high when I am weak & weary & without the strength to fly. You are the mighty fortress that keeps me free from fear & shelters me in the kindness with your tender loving care.
August 11~ Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof; and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. Sometimes the people around me irritate me, God. During those times, with an apology on my lips, help me climb out of the fut of irritation & make amends. Help me learn from my mistakes & do better. Amen.
Mom is yet again caught up on the prayers for you. Hopefully things will start calming down so that Mom can write to you daily again. Things just never seem to slow down. Never enough hours in the day to do all that we need to.
Mom knows that the night sky this evening will not be showing us the moon & stars like it did last evening. The rain is still coming down & the sky is just dreary & gray. Mom will still whisper to you as I always do tonight so be listening out for me. I miss you so much my sweet precious son. Love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Hope you have a relaxing night & may it be all that you need & want it to be. Continue to watch over Mom, Mark & our family & friends. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul.

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! Hope you are doing well on this Monday evening. Mom is doing ok, but it definitely has been a Monday for sure. Things have been crazy & Mom is really tired right now. I need to be heading to bed very soon because tomorrow will be an early day for Mom because the plumber will be here in the morning to fix our water heater. It decided to burst this afternoon & what a mess the poor maintenance guy had. We have no AC, hot water or gas right now. We won't until it is all fixed. Mom wanted to stop by & tell you that I love you & miss you so much. Mom will be able to write to you long tomorrow as I will have so much time on my hands while the guys are working in the apartment. I will catch up on the daily prayers too.
Mom hopes that you have a wonderful & peaceful evening. May it be all that you want & need it to be. Mom will be looking for the moon & stars. Be listening out for me whispering to you as I always do. Please continue to watch over us all. Thank you my sweet precious son. You will forever be in my heart, mind & soul.
Mom will write you more tomorrow. Until then.... sweet dreams & good night.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
