These are my letters to Tyler. They are the conversations that we would have on a daily basis. We can't do that any more. In some small way, this is my tribute to my son and probably my way of healing. Every night we would talk about everything. I can still do that, and I know he's listening.

Dear Tyler,
Good morning my sweet son! Hope your day is starting out the way you want it to. Where Mom is, it is raining like " cats & dogs. " The rain is so heavy & the wind is blowing like crazy. Guess it is suppose to be like this for the next several days here. Think we will miss most of it though. As we drive further South it is suppose to stop. We are all ok with that! I know that you will be watching over us all during the whole trip, going, being there, & coming back so Mom is not worried at all. Thank you. Mom knows you are watching over Grandpa & Debbie right now as they are driving down here. Thank you again. They do not have good weather to be traveling, but Grandpa will drive careful & take it slow. Anyways....
Mom has no updates for you right now. It has been only 11 hours since I wrote to you last night. Been a very quiet morning. Mark got called into work so it is even more quiet than normal. Please watch over him as well while he is driving. Thanks, Ty! packing is complete & ready to roll. Just an early evening & a good nights sleep & we will be leaving in the early am. Can't believe that it is finally here. Those 4 months went by so fast..wow. Mixed feelings for Mom though. Excited to go but very sad that you are not with us on this trip. This will be the 1st vacation that Mom is taking without you. Just doesn't seem right. Mom will make sure to smile a lot for you & not shed too many tears.
A couple nights ago, I posted my letter to you on my FB page & Mom got this response that I wanted to share with you & others. It was just beautiful so here it is:
I wanted you more than you will ever know so I sent love to follow wherever you go. It's high as you wish it, It's quick as an elf. You'll never outgrow it....it stretches itself! So climb any mountain....climb up to the sky! My love will find you. My love can fly! Make a big splash! Go out on a limb! My love will find you. My love can swim! It never gets lost, never fades, never ends.... If you're working...or playing...or sitting with friends, You can dance 'til you're dizzy.....paint 'til you're blue...There's no place, not one, that my love can't find you. And if someday you're lonely, or someday you're sad, or you strike out at baseball, or think you've been bad... just lift up your face, feel the wind in your hair. That's me, my sweet baby, my love is right there. In the garden of the grass...in the small of the sea....in the clouds floating by...at the top of a tree....in the sound crickets make at the end of the day..." You are loved. You are loved. You are loved, " they all say. My love is so high, & so wide & so deep, it's always right there, even when you're asleep. So hold your head high & don't be afraid to march to the front of your own parade. If you'll still my small babe or you're all the way grown, my promise to you is you're never alone. You are my Angel, my darling, my star...and my love will find you, wherever you are. You are loved.
You sure are loved so much by Mom & so many others. I hope that you always knew this & that you still know this wherever you may be & go. Hope you liked it. Mom thought it was so sweet for Jen to share it with me.
Here is your daily prayer for today. September 30~ For love that gives us soul-satisfying happiness; for families, friends,& all others around us; for loved ones here & loved ones beyond; for tender, peaceful thoughts. Lord of all, to you we raise our hymn of grateful praise. For letting us know you exist through families & friends who feed us more than enough food, who gives us abundant shelter & clothing, who cherish your presence & honor your creation. Lord of all, to you we raise our hymn of grateful praise. For the pleasure of seeing your wonderful creation; for the pleasure of hearing other voices & music; for the delight of knowing & feeling; the gathering us in families & communities; for inspiring us to stretch toward new knowledge, heightened awareness; for the blending of all experience into the excitement we call life. Lord of all, to you we raise our hymn of grateful praise. Amen.
Wow, Mom just realized that today is the last day of September. It amazes me every day at just how fast the days, months & years are going by so quickly. October was always your favorite month with your favorite Holiday....Halloween! Lots going on in that month as well. Mom misses you like crazy & beyond any words that could express it to you or others. Love you my sweet precious son.
Well, Mom knows that there will be nothing shining bright in the sky tonight because of the weather. Doesn't matter though as I will be whispering to you tonight & really throughout the day. Mom hopes that when the evening hours approach us your night will be all that you need & want it to be. If you slow down & get to close those eyes of yours, Mom wishes you sweet dreams & hopes that I will see you in my own when I go to lay my head down & rest for the night. Please watch over Mom & our family & friends. Please be with me, Tyler. Mom needs you all the time & always. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul. Continue to fly high & free like I know you are.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this Tuesday night? Mom is doing ok. Busy busy getting things in line to get on the road in a few days. Lots to still do. Grandpa & Debbie are arriving tomorrow afternoon. Can't believe that 3 weeks have gone by since they were here last. Time is going by so fast. Mom did a little studying today but it is just way to hard without the book I need so I am done until we get back from vacation. It will be a nice break for me. I have been studying non stop for the last 3 courses since February. Mark has to work tomorrow. He got called at the last minute so that is a bummer but not much we can do about it. Think it will be a 1/2 day for him so it won't be too too bad.
Mom got to speak to Aunt Beck today. Sounds like they had a good time away. Glad to hear that she is healing well from that dang spider bite. John is doing well too. Thank you for watching over them like you did when they were on the road. No other real updates for you as it was a quiet day here as far as talking on the phone today. Mom is sure I will have some tomorrow for you. I probably will be writing to you in the morning though as we will be headed to bed pretty early to be well rested for the next days of travel.
Here is your daily prayer for today. September 29~ For clear air & pure water; for glorious colors in the sky & tree in first & last bloom, in the wings of migrating butterfly, goose & bird. Lord of all, to you we raise our hymn of grateful praise. For wildlife sanctuaries, open range, prairies, mountains, for backyard gardens; for corn stalks & bean stems growing tall then bending low for harvest. For your generous gifts that meet human need. Lord of all, to you we raise our hymn of grateful praise. Everyday & night we marvel at your wondrous care. Constantly you guide our choices, inviting us to creative living. All creation reflects your empowering: rolling countryside, majestic mountains, delicate wildflowers, & sturdy roadside blooms. Sunrise & star, warmth & chill all declare your glory, singing together. Lord of all, to you we raise our hymn of grateful promise. Amen.
Well, the night sky is here again. The moon & stars are not for Mom to see as of yet. Might not see them as it was rainy today but you can be sure that I will be whispering to you as I always do. Hope you will be able to hear Mom. Hope that your night is everything you need & want. Please watch over Mom & Mark, plus our family & friends. Thank you. Mom needs you all the time. I moss you so much it hurts. Had a mini melt down today. Mom was singing to you & I started to cry. I believe that you saw it. I am sorry but I couldn't help it. I love you beyond this entire world. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. You will forever be in my heart, mind & soul my sweet precious son. Fly high & continue to fly free. Sweet dreams & hope to see you in my own tonight.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing today on this Monday afternoon? Hope where you are it is sunny & warm. Where Mom is, it is partly sunny & kind of chilly now. The weather states that the next several days are going to be rainy & cold. Mom can really feel it in her face, the bones that were broken. It hurts like h*ll. We are all hoping that when we travel later this week, the weather is good & no rain. Mom is sure that you will make sure we have good weather for us to reach our destination safely. Thanks Tyler!
Last night was so neat to see the Supermoon, Lunar Eclipse. That was the 1st time for Mom to see it ever & it was something else. Loved how it all took place & happened. The next 1 is not until 2033...18 years from now. Glad I saw this one tonight. Mom whispered to you during it, did you hear me? I was saying that you loved things like this & I bet you had a front row seat watching it. Bet it was super awesome from where you were. People in the South were not able to see it as they have been having lots of needed rain & it was cloudy. Felt bad for them. That is how it was all the time for us when we lived in Texas. We never saw anything neat that went on. It was always overcast & cloudy for us then, too.
Yesterday as I told you, Megan had her baby. Mom congratulated her & she got in touch with me last night over the computer. That was such a nice surprise. She & her little boy are doing well. She had him on Saturday night, 6:48 pm. She named him Logan Xavier. Like I also said yesterday, I think you met him already & you already knew this. Mom told Megan that & she actually agreed with me. She said she talked to you a lot when she was pregnant, when she was in need. When she wrote that she made Mom tear up. That was so sweet to hear from her. After all that we all went through as a family when her Dad & I were together, she called on you. No matter what, I will always care about her & Chris too. They both were such a part of our family for 12 years. Mom is human & can't turn feelings like that off. That is just me. I know many wouldn't like to hear that but that is their issue, not mine. Mom knows you understand what I mean. That is all that matters. I know that you will be watching over her & her little family from now on. You are amazing, you were when you were here with us all & Mom knows you continue to be where you are now. It makes me so blessed that I was your Mom, that we chose this path together & we will again for eternity & for our next life together. That makes me smile, Ty. I miss you so much my sweet precious son. Mom looks at your picture all the time on my computer desk & there are times I can't believe that you are gone & then there are times it feels like you are not. I choose to think the way that you are not gone. There are so many times that it is so hard for Mom to go on. So many things remind me of you.... movies, songs, quotes, family, friends, you name it..... I am so blessed to have these memories, it is just sometimes those memories tend to roll down my cheeks & Mom can't stop the tears from flowing & I don't try to stop them either. I know you don't like to see that when it happens but you are right here with me & you understand it all.
No real updates for you today as I have not spoken to anyone other than Auntie Kristina. Whatever was said to you by her that day seemed to have worked for what she has been going through. Mom was so happy to hear this. Again, you amaze Mom. I am so lucky to have you as my precious Angel. You do such wonderful things whenever you are. Every time I hear a story like that it makes my heart beam with pride. I sure hope you know just how special you are to me & so many others. Mark is working some long hours to make up for the time he will be away on vacation & Mom is at a stand still on her studies because she needs a book that was mailed by the college & it won't get to me until the day we leave so I can't study until we get back. I have tried everything in my power & nothing. Guess it is you telling me to take a break & relax for the next couple of weeks. Mom got the message & that is exactly what I plan on doing.
Here is your daily prayer for today. September 28~ Search me, O God, & know my heart:try me & know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, & lead me in the way everlasting. Whatever is right & pure, excellent & gracious, admirable & beautiful, fill my mind with these things. Too much of the world comes to me in tones of gray & brown. Too great the temptation to indulge obsessive thoughts & sordid plans. Guard my mind; place a fence around my motives. The pure, the lovely, the good----Yes! Only those today. Amen.
The evening sky will be upon us once again really soon. Another night already...time is just flying by these days. Happy in some ways & sad in other ways. Mom is hoping that you have a very restful & peaceful evening tonight. May you do all the things you need to & want to. Not sure if you get to rest where you are but if you do, Mom wishes you such sweet dreams. Hope that I see you in my own dreams tonight when I lay my head down to rest. I will be looking out for the stars & moon to be shining bright later. As always, Mom will be whispering to you so I hope you hear me & are awaiting to hear my voice. I miss you like crazy & love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul. This will never change.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Sunday, September 27, 2015
Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Sunday evening? Mom has had a very busy weekend with doing all kinds of last minute things before we head out for vacation. Mom is so sorry that I didn't get a chance to write to you last night but we were out until 4 pm, had dinner, & I fell asleep on the couch at 7 pm & went to bed at 9:15 pm & didn't get up until this morning at 8 am. Guess Mom was pretty tired...lol. Anyways, today was busy in the morning but kind of mellow this afternoon which I am very ok with. Waiting for dinner to finish & then Mom will be doing the dishes & then we have a skype call with Tubal & Karen. So many times Mom wishes she could still skype with you. Gosh, I miss all those times. I miss you so much my sweet precious son. I love you beyond anything in this world. Always have & always will.
Let's see..updates for you, Meme & Bob are doing well....that is so nice to say....finally! Grandpa & Debbie are good too. I am sure I will be speaking to them later on tonight. Aunt Beck should be home from her 3 week vacation now. I will be speaking to her before we head out. Bean must be doing well. Mom really needs to call her. Mark is doing well. His toe is still healing, Ozzy is doing better, thank you & thank God for that! Mom is doing ok. Been having some really tough headaches the last several weeks ( Beck if you are reading this, please do some healing work on me.... need it in the whole face, eyes, mouth, & neck area...thank you...love you! ) Other than that, Mom is just staying busy with school & studying. Looks like I will be finished by the middle of October. Can't wait. Mom will take the board & then look for work. It will be nice! Mom is excited for this. Thank you for your help....keep it coming though as I still need it & you! Oh yeah... Megan had her baby. A little boy named Logan. Guess it was late last night or early this morning. Someone posted it on facebook & a picture....he sure is a cutie. Did you meet him before he was born? Did you tell him that was your step sister? Mom wonders these things. So much curiosity in my mind. Well, I am pretty sure you were with her as she was in labor. You always had a special place for Megan. She misses you but you already know that. Thank you for all you do on a daily basis for us. It means so much to Mom. You still are my hero!
Here are the daily prayers for the last couple of days. September 26~ And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee. To those scanning a night sky, you sent a star. To those tending sheep on a silent hill, you sent a voice. What sign, Lord, are you sending me to come, be, & do all you intend? Let me hear, see & accept it when you do. Amen.
September 27~ Behold, I will bring it health & cure & I will cure them, & will reveal unto them the abundance of peace & truth. Bring your cool caress to the foreheads of those suffering fever. By your spirit, lift the spirits of the bedridden & give comfort to those in pain. Strengthen all entrusted with the care of the infirm today, & give them renewed energy for their tasks. And remind us all that heaven awaits----where we will all be whole & healthy before you, brothers & sisters forever. Amen.
All caught up again. The evening sky will be upon us in just a few minutes. The weather was really nice today. Chilly but the sun was shining bright. The moon was incredible last night. Mom believes it was a full moon. I guess tonight we are suppose to see a Lunar eclipse? Not sure. Suppose to start at 9ish & end around midnight. Most of the time when things like this happens we don't ever see it. Tried in Texas & now a few times & nothing. Such a bummer because I would love to see it. Do you see them? I am sure if you do it is beautiful. Hope the stars are out as well. Mom will whisper to you reguardless. Be listening out for my voice. Mom hopes that your night will be all that you want & need it to be. If you rest, may you have sweet dreams. Mom is hoping to see you in my own dreams tonight as well. Please continue to be with Mom & our family & friends. Thank you. Remember, you are forever in my heart, mind & soul. Miss & love you so much.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Waiting for dinner to finish & then Mom will be doing the dishes & then we have a skype call with Tubal & Karen. So many times Mom wishes she could still skype with you. Gosh, I miss all those times. I miss you so much my sweet precious son. I love you beyond anything in this world. Always have & always will.
Let's see..updates for you, Meme & Bob are doing well....that is so nice to say....finally! Grandpa & Debbie are good too. I am sure I will be speaking to them later on tonight. Aunt Beck should be home from her 3 week vacation now. I will be speaking to her before we head out. Bean must be doing well. Mom really needs to call her. Mark is doing well. His toe is still healing, Ozzy is doing better, thank you & thank God for that! Mom is doing ok. Been having some really tough headaches the last several weeks ( Beck if you are reading this, please do some healing work on me.... need it in the whole face, eyes, mouth, & neck area...thank you...love you! ) Other than that, Mom is just staying busy with school & studying. Looks like I will be finished by the middle of October. Can't wait. Mom will take the board & then look for work. It will be nice! Mom is excited for this. Thank you for your help....keep it coming though as I still need it & you! Oh yeah... Megan had her baby. A little boy named Logan. Guess it was late last night or early this morning. Someone posted it on facebook & a picture....he sure is a cutie. Did you meet him before he was born? Did you tell him that was your step sister? Mom wonders these things. So much curiosity in my mind. Well, I am pretty sure you were with her as she was in labor. You always had a special place for Megan. She misses you but you already know that. Thank you for all you do on a daily basis for us. It means so much to Mom. You still are my hero!
Here are the daily prayers for the last couple of days. September 26~ And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee. To those scanning a night sky, you sent a star. To those tending sheep on a silent hill, you sent a voice. What sign, Lord, are you sending me to come, be, & do all you intend? Let me hear, see & accept it when you do. Amen.
September 27~ Behold, I will bring it health & cure & I will cure them, & will reveal unto them the abundance of peace & truth. Bring your cool caress to the foreheads of those suffering fever. By your spirit, lift the spirits of the bedridden & give comfort to those in pain. Strengthen all entrusted with the care of the infirm today, & give them renewed energy for their tasks. And remind us all that heaven awaits----where we will all be whole & healthy before you, brothers & sisters forever. Amen.
All caught up again. The evening sky will be upon us in just a few minutes. The weather was really nice today. Chilly but the sun was shining bright. The moon was incredible last night. Mom believes it was a full moon. I guess tonight we are suppose to see a Lunar eclipse? Not sure. Suppose to start at 9ish & end around midnight. Most of the time when things like this happens we don't ever see it. Tried in Texas & now a few times & nothing. Such a bummer because I would love to see it. Do you see them? I am sure if you do it is beautiful. Hope the stars are out as well. Mom will whisper to you reguardless. Be listening out for my voice. Mom hopes that your night will be all that you want & need it to be. If you rest, may you have sweet dreams. Mom is hoping to see you in my own dreams tonight as well. Please continue to be with Mom & our family & friends. Thank you. Remember, you are forever in my heart, mind & soul. Miss & love you so much.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday evening? Mom has had an ups & down kind of day. Last night I was not feeling well for a couple hours, didn't get much sleep at all. Was pretty restless for most of the night. Ozzy did well...he did not get sick at all during the night or today so far. Hopefully he is getting out of whatever was bothering him. This morning Mom had a mini melt down. I was thinking of our upcoming trip, thoughts went to missing you & wishing you could come with us & then mom was missing Max & Snickers. I remembered that I had an old toy... the last one Snicks played with & I put it with his ashes.....Ozzy has been tearing through all his toys, ripping them, pulling the stuffing out & he didn't have anymore of the doggie toys he likes so I went over to Snicks old one & started to tear up. I couldn't help it. I gave to it Ozzy to play with & he did pretty good for awhile but then he started to rip that 1 too so I took it away from him & placed it back on the cedar box that Snicker's ashes are in. I couldn't bear to let it get ruined. Bet that sounds silly huh? Mom knows that Snicks, Max & all our pups are with you & you are taken wonderful care of them but it is still quite hard for Mom to have lost you 3 in such a short time. You 1st, than 1 year later, Max & then 6 months later, Snickers. Too much too soon. Mom does smile at the thought of you running & playing with them the way you wished you could here but never had the chance. Now you can & I am sure they are loving it as well. None of you are in pain any longer & that also makes Mom happy. Anyways.... the rest of my day was doing housework & prepping for Grandpa & Debbie to be here in 5 days. We leave in 7. I have done some prepacking so that I won't have to do it all at once. I took my time & no rushing...just the way it should be. The week should be fairly mellow for us. I know that you will be with Mom during the whole time. I am looking forward to all the signs that you will give me. Hope there are several!
Spoke to Meme today. She is doing well. Bob called & he sounds fantastic! The best I have heard him in almost 3 years. Meme said the same thing as well. That makes us all happy. hopefully it will stay that way for a very long time & Bob can start to get back to his old self & Meme can start to relax a little. Thank you for watching over them & us all like you do. It is such a comfort to know. Jennifer also got in touch with her Dad so I think that is helping Bob out a lot too. Glad they are on speaking terms again. I know he is happy about it! That is it for the updates today. Maybe some more tomorrow.
Here is your daily prayer for the day. September 25~ But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, & to the ministry of the world. I need to talk to you, Lord, but when & where? When life offers few prayable moments, lead me to a quiet spirit spot at work of home or in transit between the two. A brief moment is enough until we have more time.
The evening sky is almost upon us & it is not even 6:30 pm. Oh how depressing...lol! Anyways.. Mom saw the moon last night. It was shining bright. Hope I get to see it tonight as well as some stars. No matter what I will be whispering to you like I do nightly. Be listening out for Mom. Hope your night is all you want & need. Sweet dreams if you get to rest & hope you will be in my dreams tonight as well. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul my sweet precious son. Mom misses you like crazy & loves you beyond life.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday evening? Mom is hoping that you are somewhere sunny & warm & it is still a day sky. Here it is dark, but the weather was just right. 70 degrees & sunny. Couldn't have asked for anything better as far as the weather. Sorry mom didn't write to you last night. I studied until 6 pm & then fed the pups & made dinner for myself as Mark was working last night at a client. i sat down to watch tv & then ended up going to bed around 11 pm. Ozzy got us up again during the night. He now has been sick for over a week. Vets don't know why either. Please continue to watch over him so that he gets better & stops being so sick. Mom is worried as you already know. Thank you so much!
Haven't spoken to anyone in a couple days. Been pretty quiet so I have no updates for you. Maybe tomorrow I will though. Mark work long hours again today. His toe that he broke is still hurting him pretty badly but he is being a trooper. Mom studied again today. 2 more Lessons done. I now have 7 more chapters to go & I am finished the course. Still have a 4.0 GPA so I am really happy about that. Learning a lot of things & boy this course is challenging for Mom. I still like it though. Aunt Beck is still on her vacation. We haven't spoken since the 8th of September...so that is 16 days. She will be back home over the weekend. Mom is sure they are having a wonderful time & they are safe with you watching over them!
Mom has another couple daily prayers to catch up on so here they are. September 23~ What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, & ye are not your own? How marvelous our bodies! May we care for them today with all the reverence & honor we might extend toward any great gift that defies explanation.
September 24~ For my brethren & companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. Enter & bless this family, Lord, so that its circle will be where quarrels are made up & relationships mature; where failures are forgiven & new directions found.
Yet again, all caught up. Hopefully tomorrow Mom will be able to write to you & keep the daily prayers within the day that they need to be in again. I was doing really good for awhile but as my lessons in my studies got longer & harder, Mom was studying more & longer hours. My brain was fried from it all & my eyes were so sore from studying. I know you understand, but I love writing to you & it still makes me feel closer to you in so many ways.
The evening sky is dark & clear but Mom sees no stars & moon shining bright. Weird, but maybe in a little bit I will. As always I will whisper to you. Hope you hear Mom. Hope my voice makes you smile when you hear it. Thinking of you makes me smile most of the time. Other times it makes me tear up & be sad still. One day at a time. Mom is hoping that your night will be full of happy things where you go & what you learn. Please watch over us all. Mom needs you so much. Thank you. Hope you have sweet dreams if you get a chance to rest. Hope I see you in my dreams tonight as well.
I miss you like crazy. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
P.S. Auntie Kristina said she went to visit with you the other day for some time. Glad to hear this. I know she spoke to you for some time, laughed, shed some tears. Thank you for helping her out. She needed that. Love you xoxoxo.

Tuesday, September 22, 2015
Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son. Hope your Tuesday is going well. Mom is very sorry that I didn't write to you last night. Quite honestly, Mom was burnt out from the whole day. It started very early with doing laundry, putting it away, feeding the pups, taking them for a walk, making coffee & lunch for Mark, dusting, vacuuming, doing breakfast dishes, taking a shower ( this was all done by 9 am ) & Mom studied from 10 am until 6 pm last night. Had dinner at 7 pm & I was in bed by 10 pm. I was just exhausted. Didn't get much sleep though as Ozzy is still vomiting almost daily. We were up with him early this morning 2 times again. So far today he is doing ok. Hope this stops. Poor little guy has been doing this for 5 days now. Please watch over him for us. Thank you pumpkin. Mark broke his toe this morning trying to get Ozzy to the floor when he was about to get sick. He is working from home today as the result of it. Poor guy. he has a long, busy day tomorrow so I hope he will be feeling better for the work he has to do. Can you watch over him as well? Thanks!
Spoke to Meme today. She is pretty stressed out again. Guess after 2 years of not hearing from Jen, Bob got a call from her last night. She wanted to let him know that her phone number has changed & that she got married. When I heard that I felt so bad for Bob. That is his daughter & he wasn't even invited. Makes me sick. She doesn't even know what has been going on with her Dad the last 2 years. The reasoning behind it is so foolish. Bob hasn't even seen his granddaughters in 2 years & has only seen the little one right after she was born. Again, makes me sick. Bob is too good of a guy to be treated like this. Meme knows that & this is why she is upset. Please watch over them both as they really need it. Grandpa & Debbie are well. Working & getting ready for vacation. We leave in 9 days.Can't believe it is next week. Mom wishes so much that you were here to be going so that we could make more memories. Not sure on how I will do during our trip. I know there will be laughs & many tears shed during that time. Mom misses you so much. Love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Not much else for updates for you in the past 2 days. Today was studying again for Mom. Did 2 more chapters & 2 more tests. Did ok....got a 95 & a 92 on them. GPA is still a 96 so that makes Mom proud. I know it makes you proud too.
I have a couple daily prayers for you. Here they are. September 21~ Shew me thy way, O Lord; teach me thy paths. Spirit of God, keep teaching me the ways of change & growth. Like the wind, you cannot be tracked or traced. The breezes blow where they will: silently, invisibly, with great power. Just as you are working in lives even now. Let me know your calling as you move in me! Yes, whisk with your persistent prompting through all the windows of my soul, the dark corners of my heart.
September 22~ Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory & praise of God. Lord, please help me to remember that you are the source of all good things that come out of my life as I grow & flourish in you. All the " good fruit " of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness & self-control come directly from you & then you produce good things in me. I want to thank you for nourishing & supporting my life. Please use the fruit you're producing in me to nourish others & lead them o you as well. Amen.
Mom is once again all caught up. Not bad. Just 1 day behind. I am improving...lol! Right now it is 4 pm. Mom needed a break from studying so I decided to write to you now instead of taking the chance & studying late & then being too tired again. The evening sky will be upon us in a couple hours though. It comes fast now. After making dinner & then eating, Mom will take the pups out for a walk. I will be looking to the evening sky to hopefully see the moon & stars shining bright. Nevertheless, it doesn't matter because like always Mom will be whispering to you as I always do. Hope you will be listening out & hearing my voice. may you have a peaceful & restful night. May it be what you need it to be & want it to be. Sweet dreams my sweet precious son. Mom hopes to see you in my dreams tonight as well. Mom is hoping you will be with me tonight so that I can get some solid sleep. It is much needed.
Please continue to watch over us all, our family & friends. Please watch over Mark & Mom & the pups too. Thanks, Ty. I love & miss you so much.... unconditionally. Every day is tough for me..... I know you know this. I know you sit & watch me. I am trying, trust me I am. Some days are better than others though. Just remember that you are forever in my heart, mind & soul. This will never change.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Sunday, September 20, 2015
Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday evening? Today was a pretty mellow day for Mark & Mom. We kicked back & didn't go anywhere. Watched the Patriots win their game today against the Bills. Now the Cowboys are playing the Eagles. Been a slow game for sure but I will have you know that as much as you dislike the Cowboys....they are winning right now. Still anyone's game as it is beginning of the 3rd quarter. Saturday, we went out & did some errands. Mark got his hair cut & we did a little shopping. We are getting things in order for this week as it is the last full week being here & then we head on vacation for 2 weeks. Mom is excited in so many ways but I am also really sad because I am wishing that you were with us & going too. Mom misses you so much, Ty. My heart hurts every day without you. Mom loves you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Please never ever forget that! Unfortunately, Mom has no updates for you tonight. Been a very quiet weekend like I said with no phone calls. Mom is sure to have something for you in tomorrow nights letter.
I do, however, have a couple daily prayers that I need to catch up on. Here they are. September 19~ The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. When feeling hurt, Wise Physician, we curl in on ourselves like orange rinds, withholding even the possibility of reconciliation. Help me open up to new possibilities for righting wrong & sharing love without reservation, as orange blossom offers its fragrance, the fruit of its zesty sweetness.
September 20~ But the men marvelled saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds & the sea obey him. We know you, Lord, in the changing seasons: in leaves blazing gently in the fall beauty; in winter's snow sculptures. We know you in arid desert cactus blooms & in the migrations of whales. In the blending of the seasons, we feel your renewing, steadfast care & worries lose their power to overwhelm. The list of hope-filled marvels is endless, our gratitude equally so.
The evening sky will be dark & upon us in about 30 minutes. It gets dark by 7 pm now. About 2 hours earlier than during the summer months. It sucks but the weather has been so nice the last several days. In the 80's & sunny. Mom heard on the news that the weather will be changing this week & it will only be in the 60's for the most part. Welcome to the Fall months. The sky was pretty clear today so I believe Mom should be able to see the moon & stars shining bright. Be listening out for my voice as I whisper to you...just like every night. Please continue to watch over our family & friends, Mark & Mom. Thank you so much. Fly high & free like I know you are. Hope your night is all you want & need it to be. Sweet dreams to you my sweet precious son. Hope to see you in my dreams tonight too. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

When feeling hurt, Wise Physician, we curl in on ourselves like orange rinds, withholding even the possibility of reconciliation. Help me open up to new possibilities for righting wrong & sharing love without reservation, as orange blossom offers its fragrance, the fruit of its zesty sweetness.
September 20~ But the men marvelled saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds & the sea obey him. We know you, Lord, in the changing seasons: in leaves blazing gently in the fall beauty; in winter's snow sculptures. We know you in arid desert cactus blooms & in the migrations of whales. In the blending of the seasons, we feel your renewing, steadfast care & worries lose their power to overwhelm. The list of hope-filled marvels is endless, our gratitude equally so.
The evening sky will be dark & upon us in about 30 minutes. It gets dark by 7 pm now. About 2 hours earlier than during the summer months. It sucks but the weather has been so nice the last several days. In the 80's & sunny. Mom heard on the news that the weather will be changing this week & it will only be in the 60's for the most part. Welcome to the Fall months. The sky was pretty clear today so I believe Mom should be able to see the moon & stars shining bright. Be listening out for my voice as I whisper to you...just like every night. Please continue to watch over our family & friends, Mark & Mom. Thank you so much. Fly high & free like I know you are. Hope your night is all you want & need it to be. Sweet dreams to you my sweet precious son. Hope to see you in my dreams tonight too. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing today on this Friday evening? Hope that wherever you are it is bright & sunny. Mom is sorry that I didn't write to you last night. It was kind of crazy as we had one of Mark's friends drop by for a visit. Time escaped us all & before we knew it, it was after 11pm & Mom went to bed. Guess Mark's friend left after that. Today, the weather was really nice again. Upper 80's all week. Mom is trying to enjoy them as much as I can because I know that there will not be many more days with this kind of weather. The days are shorter & the nights are longer. Mom thinks the Fall weather is going to just sneak away from us & we will head into the colder weather...not looking forward to that for sure. Anyways....Today is Mark's birthday. Hope you made it known to him that you were around so that he could sense you. I think that he had a good day. Many family & friends called & wished him a great day, we had pizza for dinner ( his choice ) & he got lots of goodies from Mom. Mark deserves it! He works really hard & really never gets anything for himself. Mom knows that he is looking forward to our vacation. It will be time to just relax & get away for awhile. We haven't been on one in 2 1/2 years. Mom studied today. Tough lesson & I took the quiz. It was a rough one but I managed an 87% which is a B so I was happy with that. It slipped my GPA down a bit but I will get it back up there...it is still an A so I am not worried at all. I started a 2nd lesson & boy it is just as hard. it is all about coding medical terms. I think I will do ok with it all. Mom still enjoys it all. I believe that I will be almost done the full course before we head on vacation which will be amazing. That is my goal, but if it doesn't happen then that is ok too. The lessons are getting harder & longer just like the last one so it takes more time. Mom is ok with that!
Let's see about updates..... Grandpa is doing well. Him & Debbie are working & getting excited to go on vacation too. Meme called me yesterday & she sounded chipper. It was nice to hear. Been a very long time for that. Bob is doing well. He has more energy, sleeping better & actually went to look for a part time job. He feels he can do it & honestly I think that would make him feel so much better about himself & everything. Meme went to the doctor's. She is healthy. She has lost some weight, which makes her happy & she has also shrunk another inch. I know you are laughing right now... I can hear it in my mind...lol! Meme is now only 4' 10" tall. She is Mom's height now. You are laughing even harder now... so stop it...lol! Ozzy has been quite sick & we don't know what is going on. Tuesday night & Wednesday night he got up & was sick a couple times & then went back to sleep, yesterday he was sick every 15 minutes for 4 hours & today he got sick once. if he does it again, we are ready to take him to the vets to find out what is going on. Poor little guy... he has been so scared. Please watch over him & all of our family & friends. Thanks Ty. Mom always needs you by her side so that is why I always call upon you. Think those are the updates for you.
Here are the 2 daily prayers that i needed to catch up on. September 17~ Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. Thank you for those people you have sent into my life who have been angels for me. Let me find ways to be an angel for others. Amen!
September 18~ Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader & commander to the people. God, we know the jobs of politicians & leaders are difficult. We know they face tough decisions on a regular basis. Protect their minds, their hearts, & their souls. Thank you for the role they play in this country. Guide them in the direction that will prove best for everyone. Amen.
The evening sky will be upon us in less than 30 minutes. The sky was clear today so Mom is hoping that we will see the stars & moon shining bright. Mom will be looking when we take the pups for a walk later. No matter what, be listening out for Mom's voice as I whisper to you, just like I do every night. Mom hopes that your evening will be everything that you want & need it to be. If you rest, sweet dreams my sweet precious son. Mom hopes to see you in my dreams tonight as well. Give everyone up there hugs & kisses from Mom. Miss them & give extras to Max & Snickers. Thanks Tyler. Mom knows you are taking good care of them for me. Mom misses you so much & loves you to the moon & back 7 all the way around the world. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday evening? Today, was another good day for Mom. The weather was just so nice. Sunny in the 80's. Mom did quite a bit again today. Did 2 more chapters in my course & 2 more tests. Still holding on with a GPA of 97. Like I have said before Mom is really enjoying this course. It is all about paperwork & that is what I like to do. If I keep going at this rate then I will be done the whole thing by the end of the month. That will be 6 weeks total when they said it was a 4-6 month course. Mom is taking her time as well..not rushing it at all. I think that when we are back from vacation I will be looking into what it takes to take the certified test for Medical Coding. I know it is 750 questions & you have 45 days to complete it. That is a lot but I think I can do this! Mom knows that you will be with me every step of the way too. Thank you my sweet precious son. Mom misses you so much. Your picture is right in front of me while I study & while I write to you every night. You are truly my inspiration to do this. Again, thank you. Mom needs to stay busy daily... if not I know I will fall apart & break. Mom knows that you don't want to see that or need to see that so I do my best to smile often & not shed many tears.
Even though today was a good day, I have no updates for you. Didn't talk to anyone in the family. Marion called to thank us for her Birthday gift. She said it was nice. Hope she likes it! Guess everyone is good. Haven't heard anything from Aunt Beck so I am assuming that all is well in their travels & I know you are watching over them. Maybe I will have some updates for you tomorrow.
Mom & Mark do have a favor to ask you though.... can you please be with his Dad, Tubal & Step Mom, Karen? They are both quite sick & have been for a couple weeks now. We are worried about them. Thank you so much. It would mean a lot to us.
Here is the daily prayer for today. September 16~ Hear my voice O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. God, keep me close today. Sometimes I am not at my best & I would like someone to listen as I whine, moan & complain. On days like that, please bear the brunt of my troubles or send someone to help in your name. Amen.
That prayer today made me smile a little. I have those days quite a bit just like anyone, I am always asking for help by God & Mom always asks that you come to help me too. I need you with me all the time. Mom will always need you. We had a special bond here in the physical world & I know we still have a bond even though we are separated now.
The night sky is here again, The sky looks clear but I see no moon & stars. Maybe later, perhaps? Either way I will be whispering to you as I do nightly. Hope you can hear me & will be listening out for my voice. Mom hopes that you have a peaceful evening doing so many wonderful things that you need & want to do. Rest if you can & get some sleep. Sweet dreams to you tonight. Hope Mom sees you in my own dreams as well tonight.
You are forever in my heart, mind & soul. Never forget this. Continue to watch over us all. Give all our pups big hugs & kisses from Mom. Miss them too. Thanks, Ty! Fly high & free.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Tuesday? Mom had a better day today that is for sure. The weather was sunny & warm. Don't think that there will be many more days like this so I am enjoying it! Did some housework this morning & then did studying for the rest of the day. Mom did pretty good. 3 chapters, 3 tests & Mom got a 96%, 100%, & 95. My GPA is still a 97. Mom has all A's & 2 B's after 24 tests. I know you are shining down on me while I do these lessons & tests. Thank you so much!
Not much new for updates. Talking to Grandpa while I am writing this letter. Things are well for him & Debbie. Meme is doing well & so is Bob. Mark worked a couple days of long hours. He has a few more of them next week too. Please look out after him. I worry so much. You know why.
Here is the daily prayer for today: September 15~ I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous & the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose & for every work. Keep us from being slaves to time, Lord. You always create time & space for anything we are doing that brings you glory. Teach us to rest in the knowledge that time is in your hands. Whenever we think we don't have enough of it, show us you have plenty & are happy to share! Thank you, Lord, for your generous supply of time.
Mom is doing pretty good by staying & writing the daily prayers on the exact dates. I am proud of myself...lol! The evening sky is now on us. It is dark out & Mom is not seeing the moon or stars right yet. Maybe later on. I will be looking for them. Regardless... Mom will whisper to you as I always do. Hope you can hear Mom talking to you.
Hope your night will be all that you need & want it to be tonight. May you continue to fly high & fly free with all the other Angels. If you get a chance rest a little & close your eyes. May you have sweet dreams & I hope that Mom sees you in my own dreams as well. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul my sweet precious son. Mom misses you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Monday evening? It definitely is a Monday for Mom. Not really doing the greatest right now. I have a huge headache from Princess barking all day to to guys painting the exterior building & balcony of ours today. I even tried to study & that was tough. The guys will be at it again tomorrow so Mom is not looking forward to that at all. I at least wanted to write to you to tell you that I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Mom misses you terribly. It sucks. This letter is going to be super short so that I can go lay down & try to get this dang headache to go away for good. Mom is so sorry but I promise to make up for it in tomorrows letter to you.
Here is the daily prayer for today though. September 14~Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O Lord, thou preservest man & beast. Thank you, God, for all the animals who have helped us to feel closer to you & your creation. Keep them safe, these trusted innocents who calm our lives & show us love. Help them find their way home if they are lost. Help them hear the voices of those who will care for them. Save them from every unsafe place. Amen.
The evening sky will be upon us in the next hour. It gets dark really soon now. Another sign to know we are in the Fall season & winter is coming faster than we want. Mom hopes that you have a wonderful evening filled with all the things you need & want to do. Many blessings to you my sweet precious son. May you rest your eyes tonight & have the sweetest dreams ever. Hope Mom sees you in my own dreams tonight too. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul.
Until tomorrows letter..... Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
PS Mom will be looking to the sky tonight. Hope to see the sun & moon shining bright. Either way I will whisper to you as I always do. Hope you can hear Mom. Love you xoxoxo.
