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,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday evening? Mom is doing better than I was yesterday. As you could see Mom took my very 1st Proctor exam & to say the least I did not do well on it at all. I was so angry at myself. I have been doing so well & to not do good on this exam was a punch in the gut. I didn't know what to expect at all & the exam was pretty darn tough. At least I have a clue of what to expect for the next ones I have to take. I think my ego was hurt more than anything. I had a headache & I was sick the rest of the evening so that is why I didn't write to you. I know I don't have to explain to you as you see & know everything now but I still like to. Today has been a better day as far as my studying goes. I started a new book & it seems to be going well. As far as everything else...Mom received so devastating news about a sweet friend of mine & also her son. She was admitted into DHMC for chemo treatments because her body is rejecting a pancreas transplant that she had about 8 years ago. This is the 2nd time in 4 months. Also, her oldest son was just diagnosed this morning with osteosacoma ( meaning Bone Cancer ) in his leg. He is only 14 years old. My heart sank when I got a call this morning. You know both of these people but for their privacy I will not mention their names. It is not my place to say them as of now. Please, Tyler, watch over them both as neither of them deserve this. I hope that they will make a full recovery. A friend of mine went up there to the hospital today & was so sweet to get a teddy bear for her son & said it was from Sherbear...that was the nickname he gave me so many years ago. I was so touched by that gesture... yep... I cried. Couldn't help it. Thank you for all that you can do for them both. It means so much to Mom.
Let's see what else do I have for updates for you... I spoke to Meme & Grandpa a couple days ago. We were all awaiting our stuff from Florida to be shipped to us. Mom received hers yesterday so I am imagining that everyone else got theirs then to. It was nice to see the things that we purchased from our vacation. Opening the boxes brought me right back to the day that I bought the items. Mom's memory is just like that. Heck I remember things from when I was 5 years old. I guess I don't forget anything. Everyone is doing well. Pretty much everyone is getting back to their daily routine again. I will try to get in touch with Aunt Beck at the beginning of next week to see what is going on with them. I will be seeing my friend again before he makes his journey back home..down South. He will be here for a couple days next week & then Marion, Charlie & the kids will be here next weekend for a couple days. Things will be crazy & busy but that is just fine with Mom. I will be going to go see my friends brother ( the one who was in the accident ) with him as well. I know it will help him. I think it will be hard for Mom in some ways but I know you will be with me to help me through it all. I think that is all that I have for now.....
Here are the daily prayers that I have to get caught up on for you. September 29~ He fulfills the desire of all who fear him; he also hears their cry & saves them. My Lord, I desire that your the hearts of those who seek you & that your will be carried out here on earth in the way it is carried out in heaven. I desire enough provision for today's needs. I desire to abide in your strength that I might not give way to temptation. I desire to have a heart of forgiveness like your own that I may extend to others the kind of forgiveness I so desperately need from you. I desire to honor & glorify you all the days of my life & into eternity. Please save me from anything that would thwart & hinder these desires from being fulfilled by you. In your name, I pray. Amen. The closer we get to God, the more our desires resemble his own. Those who fear God, who revere & honor him, are not focused on gratifying themselves. That is why God can fulfill their desires without compromising his own character. Amen.
September 30~ The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me. Father in heaven, in my younger days I wanted you to fulfill my purposes. I wanted you to adopt my plans as your own for my life, as if I could order you around & have you serve my selfish purposes. Now those thoughts & attitudes embarrass me. But over time, you have gently & graciously revealed that flaw of foolishness in my understanding & have helped me see that you created me a certain way to fulfill the tailor-made purpose you have for my life. It is a purpose that will fulfill & bless me as well as be a blessing to others. And best of all, it brings honor to your name when people see that you're the one who has brought about such good things in my life. " For surely I know the plans I have for you, " says the Lord, " plans for you welfare & not for harm, to give you a future with hope. " Amen.
Mom is all caught up once again. It is that time of night where Mom is running late with making dinner & doing the night routine. I have a hard time with the fact that it is getting dark so early...like 5:30 - 6 pm now instead of 9 pm. I get so confused with the time of day it is. I know I will not be seeing anything shining in the sky as it has been cloudy & raining for the last 2 days. I can't wait to see the sun again. That will be nice. I know that you will be shining somewhere in this world for someone who needs it. That makes Mom smile. I will whisper to you as I always do so be listening out for my voice. Smile & I will too. Mom hopes that your night is all that you would like it to be & also the way you need it to be. May you have some adventures along the way as well. Come visit me in my dreams tonight. I would love that so much! Mom misses you more than I can ever express..more than words can say. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. Continue to fly high & free like I know you are doing. Good night & sweet dreams my sweet precious son. Until tomorrow.....
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is freezing her butt off as it is so cold, wet & rainy today! I am already not liking this weather & it will get worse before it gets better. It seems like forever since I have had the chance to write to you. I am so sorry for all the things that have been going on lately since we have gotten back from vacation. It just seems like so much has been happening & no time to do everything else that needs to get done. Anyways... Mom is just so happy to be writing to you. In time the routine will come back & everything will be just fine!
Mom finally heard back from her college & I will be taking my proctor exam tomorrow. It is my final for Psychology. Please be with me while I am taking it. I really hope I will do ok seeings how I have not opened that book in over 3 weeks. Mom needs you my sweet precious son. Thank you! Mom is having a hard time getting back into the swing of things again. Mark was able to pick right up where he left off but not me. It is day 3 & I can't seem to shake it off. I have done things around the apartment... laundry, housework, etc... gone & got groceries but other than that I am just tired. I have no energy. I think it has a lot to do with the weather. We went from sunshine & warmth to just overcast, cloudy & rain...The temps are really cold too.....you know Mom does not do well in the cold anymore. I hope in the next few days I will be more alert & feeling better. I better be for my exam tomorrow...lol! Mom will let you know how it goes.
My friend stopped on by yesterday morning to see me & meet Mark. We took him out to lunch & then we walked on the beach for a little bit. We then came back here & just chatted as Mark had a conference call. Later he decided to spend the night. We had dinner & then we watched wrestling. I haven't watched that since I watched it with you. It made me happy & sad all at the same time. Later on we played cribbage. We both won 1 game each. That was fun. This morning we got to chat a little more & then he had to leave as he was driving on to go visit a friend of his & then his daughter. It was so good to see him. It has been over 30 years. We went to school together. He hasn't changed a bit. Still the funniest & sweetest person that I remember.
Not many updates for you at all as Mom has not spoken to anyone really since we returned. I did speak to Auntie Kristina & Mom will be seeing Marion & Charlie in a couple weeks as well. I am sure that I will be hearing from Meme & Grandpa in the next couple days as well. I think everyone is trying to just get back to their normal routines again. I will keep you posted as I know things. I know you will be watching over us all. Thank you. I would like to start with writing the daily prayers to you again so here is the one for today. September 28~ The Lord upholds all who are falling & raises up all who are bowed down. O Lord! Thou knowest how busy I must be this day: if I forget thee, do not thou forget me. The prayer above was uttered by a soldier before a battle in the English Civil War. Some of our days on earth can be like a series of little wars on many fronts. How consumed we can become by them, by the energy & attention they require of us! If we forgot God in the heat of battle, however, he does not forget us. And when we become mindful again of our need for him, he is just as near as he was the last time we were fully aware of his presence. Amen.
Mom can't believe that in a couple of days it will already be October. The foliage is almost in full bloom. The leaves are so pretty. This time of year always gets me emotional that's for sure.... for so many reasons. I miss you so much. My heart hurts all the time. I know you are in a much happier place but I can't seem to get passed it. I want to be happy but I just can't find my way. I am happy for you...so happy but Mom hurts. Sometimes the tears fall & I don't try to stop them. I don't want to as I know I need to let it out instead of keeping it all bottled up inside. Don't worry though as I will be ok. Time will never heal the pain of losing you at all but I will try to be happier for you. I will try to smile more too....i promise!
Mom saw the sky last night. Oh it was so pretty. It was blue & pink....just beautiful. I smiled so much. I whispered to you...did you hear Mom? I also saw so many stars in the sky. I whispered to you again as well. Hope you heard me then to. I know I won't see anything in the sky tonight as it is so cloudy but that is alright. I know you are shining bright for someone who needs it. I will whisper to you still so I hope that you will hear my voice. Smile when you do so I can picture it in my mind. I will smile as well. Mom is hoping that you have a restful & peaceful evening. May it be all that you need & want it to be. Come visit me in my dreams tonight if you can. Please remember that you are forever in my heart, mind & soul. You are my true hero & the wind beneath my wings. Good night & sweet dreams, Tyler. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. Until tomorrow.....

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday night? Mom is doing well. I wanted to write a short letter to you before I shut off my computer. I have had a busy day today. We got home late last night & everyone did not leave until pm or so. Mom did nothing last night as I was so tired. I was in bed by 9:30 pm & asleep in minutes. This morning I was up early & I did 2 loads of laundry, put everything away from the suitcase & did some housework. I then got ready & went out & did some grocery shopping & got the mail. Mom basically did all the things that were needed after coming home from vacation. Honestly, I am still so tired from everything. Mom is going to call it an early night tonight as well so that I can be well rested as I am going to be seeing my friend tomorrow that I have not seen in 30 years. I am excited to have the chance to catch up. It will really be nice. I will write to you about it on my letter to you tomorrow. Mom is hat I did not get the chance to write to you nightly while we were gone but I don't know what happened. At first we had internet, then we didn't, then we did & after that the last 3 days there we had nothing. It was really weird. I was very sad. As you could see I used my cell phone to post to you a short letter when I could. I did the best with what I had.
I checked in on everyone today. They all got sleep & they are rested now. No one worked today except Mark. He was right at it first thing this morning. The pups are all fine too. Medicine is all out of their systems & they are back to normal. I even got the chance to talk to Aunt Beck today. We chatted for quite a while. It was nice! Her & John are both well.
Mom is going to call it a night now. I know this letter is short but something is funky with my computer & I am not sure what is going on. I will write to you tomorrow afternoon or evening....Mom promises! I hope that your night is all that you need & want it to be. Come visit me in my dreams tonight. I would love that my sweet precious son! I will start with the daily prayers tomorrow as well again. Please remember that you are forever in my heart, mind & soul. You are my true hero & the wind beneath my wings. Continue to fly high & free like I know you are. Mom will whisper to you later tonight so be listening out for my voice. Smile when you hear me & I will smile as well. I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Good night & sweet dreams, Tyler.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Saturday night? Mom is getting ready to go to bed as tomorrow we are flying home. This 10 days went by so fast. Many memories were made & I learned a lot while we were all here. I will tell you about it in my letter to you tomorrow night. For some reason there is no wifi again in the villa so Mom is using the data off her phone. I wanted to at least write to you to tell you that I miss you so much. I love you like crazy. I really have missed being able to write to you every night with the daily updates & daily prayers. Everything will be back to normal here in a couple of days. I know you have seen us all during this whole trip. Thank you for being with us along the way. I saw signs that you gave Mom. Everytime I saw them I whispered to you so I hope you heard me. I never really saw a nice sunset while I was here but that's ok as I am sure that you will be giving me a welcome home one soon. I will be looking for it my sweet precious son.
Mom has to cut this short as it is getting late & I need to get a little sleep. We head to the airport early in the morning. Please be with us during the flight home. I know you will be flying right next to us the whole way back so again thank you.
Mom hopes you have a peaceful night. May it be all that you need & want it to be. Come visit me in my dreams tonight. Remember you are forever in my heart, mind & soul. You are my true hero & the wind beneath my wings.
Mom will write more Sunday night to you. Sweet dreams & good night, Tyler. I love you. To the moon & back & all the way around the world.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday night? Mom has had a busy 2 days here in Florida. Sorry I didn't write to you but I was just plain tired & we got back to our villa late & then when we did get back I did laundry. Since being on vacation Mom has been going to bed around 9 pm every night & getting up at 8 am. We have only 2 more days here & then we fly home. These 9 days sure have been flying by for us all. It has been really great having the time with Meme, Bob, Grandpa & Debbie. Sure there have been some arguing between Meme & Mom but that's natural & everything is fine now. We definitely had some good laughs as well. These days & all this time is something that I will definitely cherish.
Yesterday we spent the day at Universal Studios & did the Harry Potter stuff. Boy they made it look like the movie set. We got to ride the Hogwarts Train to the other theme park. It was cool until we were leaving & got back on the train..... we got stuck in the train cart for quite some time. The cast members finally came on the intercom & said there was a delay....no delay...the train was not working properly & we were stuck. We ended up walking the 1/2 mile to the other side of the park to get back to our vehicle. That was rough...ugh! In one of the Harry Potter worlds we went on this ride. Oh boy.... it was not what any of us expected but it was fun.... well for Mark, Bob & Mom it was.... Grandpa, Debbie & Meme did not like it at all. I know you would have. I talked to you through it...did you hear Mom? I hope so. Things have changed through the years since we went there together. Lots of Super Hero stuff, Transformers, Men In Black, Simpsons, etc.... it was fun. Today, we went to Downtown Springs.....used to be called Downtown Disney. It was a " down " day of just looking around & shopping. It was fun & once again lots of walking for us all. Mom's poor feet are all blistered & so sore.....ugh! Tomorrow will be another long day for us as it is Epcot day. We haven't been there in 6 years & Meme, Bob & Mark have never been so it should be a fun time. Mark, Grandpa & Bob are going to do the Test Track there.... I know you would have loved that as well. I know you will be with them as they do this. Us girls, Mom, Meme & Debbie will just do some shopping while they are having their fun. Saturday is our last day here so Mom will probably write to you in the afternoon as the morning will be busy with getting last minute things done & then it is packing & cleaning the villa as we have to be up early Sunday morning to travel all day again. Please be with us as we travel home. Mom is hoping for a smooth flight again & hopefully Ozzy & Princess will be good....Ozzy especially where he freaked out last time. Thanks Tyler! Mom appreciates it a great deal.
Sunday night I will be able to write to you from home & start the daily prayers back up to you. It will be nice to get back into a routine again. Mark will be back at work & Mom will be back to studying again. As much as vacation is nice it is always good to get back home. I am sure that things will be crazy busy for us both. One of Mom's friends are coming up for a visit to NH & will be stopping in along the way. Mom will be going with him to see his brother at the hospital I think. Then in 2 weeks Marion, Charlie, Lizzie & Brian will be coming for a visit for the weekend. Lots of things going on for sure but it will be nice to see everyone!
Mom got to see a sunset sort of tonight when we were driving back. It was just starting to rain so..... I do hope to still see one before we head out of here. Mom will whisper to you as I always do so be listening out for my voice. Smile & I will too. Hope you have a restful & peaceful evening. May it be all that you want & need it to be. Come visit me in my dreams tonight if you can. I would love that. I miss you more than words can say. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my hero, my wind beneath my wings. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul.
Mom is going to close this letter to you as I am getting sleepy & it is an early morning once again. Good night my sweet precious son. Sweet dreams to you. Until tomorrow......
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday night? Mom has had a busy 2 days here in Florida. Sorry I didn't write to you but I was just plain tired & we got back to our villa late & then when we did get back I did laundry. Since being on vacation Mom has been going to bed around 9 pm every night & getting up at 8 am. We have only 2 more days here & then we fly home. These 9 days sure have been flying by for us all. It has been really great having the time with Meme, Bob, Grandpa & Debbie. Sure there have been some arguing between Meme & Mom but that's natural & everything is fine now. We definitely had some good laughs as well. These days & all this time is something that I will definitely cherish.
Yesterday we spent the day at Universal Studios & did the Harry Potter stuff. Boy they made it look like the movie set. We got to ride the Hogwarts Train to the other theme park. It was cool until we were leaving & got back on the train..... we got stuck in the train cart for quite some time. The cast members finally came on the intercom & said there was a delay....no delay...the train was not working properly & we were stuck. We ended up walking the 1/2 mile to the other side of the park to get back to our vehicle. That was rough...ugh! In one of the Harry Potter worlds we went on this ride.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is having an off day today. I think being out in the sun all day long really to a toll on me yesterday. My head hurts & I am so tired. I know it will be an early night for me as tomorrow is going to be an extra long day. We are headed to Universal Studios. Mom will sure be thinking of you as it has all the new Harry Potter stuff there now. Meme & Bob are looking forward to all this. Mom is too but I know this one will be hard for me. I remember taking you there. Do you remember when you were little & it was all about Nickelodeon? I sure do as I still have all the pictures. You had such a great time there. You played in the game....Guts....lol. I hope that you will be with us all when we are there. Please give me signs to let me know, ok?
Yesterday, Mom saw a dragonfly that was green & today I saw one that was green....your two favorite colors. The ones up North are always blue. I whispered hello to you. I would like to believe that was you both times. I smiled, did you see Mom?
Everyone is doing great here on vacation. We have had some busy times here already but also some relaxing days too. Its a mix of everything. I think Mom is going to need a vacation from this vacation...lol! Tonight the weather is still hot & humid. It rained while we were out today. It felt good! Guess we are suppose to get another good thunderstorm tonight. Last nights lasted for about 3 hours. The lightning was intense & the thunder was so loud. It was awesome. You know Mom loves them. The dogs did good in the whole thing. Even Princess is doing better. Mom is sad though as I have not seen one sunset since I have been here. I am so hoping to see at least one in the next 4 days. I hope you "paint " me a pretty one! I will be looking out for it. I will look to the sky tonight as well in hopes to see the moon & the stars shining bright. I will whisper to you as I always do. Be listening out for my voice. Smile when you hear me & I will smile as well. Mom is hoping that you have a restful & peaceful night. May it be all that you want & need it to be. Hope you have some fun & a few adventures along the way. Come visit Mom if you can. I miss you my sweet precious son. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond.
Mom is going to close this letter as I am getting tired & its almost dinner time. Good night & sweet dreams, Tyler. Until tomorrow.....

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday night? Mom & all of us are so sun burned from being out today for 8 hours. We are all so sore...lol. Today was a good day. We went to Magic Kingdom. Mom got to go to the Beauty & the Beast restaurant & look in the castle. It was amazing. We also walked around & got to see a new parade called Festival of Fantasy. Mom thought of you a lot. I talked to you & about you all day. Did you here Mom? I hope so. We got back to our villa just in time. We have had thunderstorms for the last 3 hours. The poor pups are so scared. Everyone is pretty much called it a night as we have been up since 6 am. Mom is headed that way as well but wanted to write to you really quick. Tomorrow we are headed to Hollywood Studios for the day. Guess it suppose to be just as hot....yikes!
Mom hopes you have a good night & it's all you need it to be & want it to be. Come visit Mom if you can. I love you so much. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity and beyond. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul.
I will whisper to you as I always do so be listening out for my voice. Smile & Mom will to.
Good night & sweet dreams my sweet precious son. Until tomorrow...

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Saturday night? Mom didn't get the chance to write to you last night because it was so crazy. Our flight was actually early yesterday but by the time we got the luggage & Grandpa & I stayed in line at the rental car place for over an hour....we got stuck in traffic & didn't get into our villa until 7:30pm.
Thanks for the smooth flight. Everyone did awesome. It really was great. We were up 34,000 feet. Clear day & the sky was so blue. The clouds were amazing. I even said that you had a beautiful view now.
The pups are really not doing all so well this time. They are barking alot when we are not at the villa. Having 3 dogs are tough. There are a few times that us adults have been at each other's throats. I think things will get better. Starting tomorrow the whole Disney thing starts for everyone. Guess we will see.
Mom will try to write to you nightly but it's really tough when I can't use my computer because the WiFi doesn't work. I am using my cell phone to do this which means I can't put any pics of here tonight. Hopefully I can figure things out to do that. Mom didn't bring the daily prayer book either so I will try to find something for that tomorrow too.
It's getting late & its an early day for us all on Sunday. Mom sure wishes you were here with us physically. I said that many times today. Did you here Mom? Hope so. Last night was a full moon. It was so pretty. Made me smile. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Too infinity & beyond. Remember you are my hero & my wind beneath my wings. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul. Hope you have a peaceful night. Have fun & come visit me in my dreams tonight. Good night & sweet dreams Tyler. Until tomorrow.......

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday morning? Mom has just enough time to write you a short letter before everyone gets here. They all should be arriving in roughly 20 minutes! Last night was a very rough night for Princess. I don't know what happened but it was the worst ever. Poor Mark had to go sleep on the couch just to get her to calm down. It was awful. None of us got much sleep & we are really tired.. Hope we get a lot of good solid sleep tonight as we are traveling all day tomorrow! I know Mom has been asking so much of you lately as there is a lot going on but if you can help us out with letting us sleep & Princess being calm that would be great. I sure hope ...wait I know you will be helping us with a safe fight there & having the weather be great. Thank you my sweet precious son. I miss you beyond any words could say & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond.
Mom does not have any updates for you at all since it has only been about 15 hours since I last wrote to you. I know I will be keeping you up to date on everything when we get to Florida. I will be sharing stories of where we go. Please send me signs to let me know that you are with Mom. I really would love that so much!
Last night the sunset was so beautiful. I loved the " painting " you did for me. I took pictures of it & posted them on facebook. I whispered to you as well, did you hear Mom? I sure hope so. I had such a big smile on my face when I saw that. I hope that there is another one tonight as well so our family can see one first hand. Do you think you can make that happen, Tyler? The moon & stars were out too. It was so pretty, magical really! I will look to the sky tonight & look for them again. I will whisper to you as I always do so be listening out for Mom's voice.
Mom has to get going in a few minutes but before I do I wanted to write to you the daily prayer. September 15~ With the Lord on my side I do not fear. What can mortals do to me? Sometimes I let the fear of what someone thinks of me or what they might do to me wreak havoc on my peace of mind, most holy Father. You know this is so; you've seen me fret & stew about such things. I want to remember today that even though someone else might be bigger or more powerful than I am----or they might just be downright mean-spirited---whatever the case, you are greater than they are & able to shelter me from the harm of their threats or assaults. I don't want to be afraid anymore & with you by my side *I don't need to be. Thank you, Lord. People may harm me, even kill me, but they cannot destroy me, for god has made me his child. That is to say, through Christ, he has made me immortal. Amen.
Mom is hoping that you have a peaceful & restful night. If it can't be that way then make sure you are having fun & you have a few adventures along the way. Come visit Mom in my dreams tonight as I love it when you do. remember that you are forever in my heart, mind & soul, you are my hero & my wind beneath my wings. Have a great day today as well. I know you will be smiling while watching us all. I know you will be by our sides all day long! Tomorrow Mom will be looking for you within the clouds while I am flying. I know you will be there...you always are! Good night & sweet dreams later tonight. Fly high & free pumpkin. Until tomorrow....... I love you with all my heart.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is writing to you early because I have so much left to do. The time is finally here & everyone will be coming down in 32 hours...not that Mom is counting down or anything...lol! I have a lot done already but I am still needing to do some more things to get everything all set so I will be busy for the rest of the night. You will see me running around like a chicken with my head cut off....I can see you laughing & saying " My poor Mom. " I know you will be smiling though. I can just close my eyes & see that & it makes me feel so close to you. Even after it being 3 years of your passing, Mom can still hear your voice & see your face in my mind. I hope that I never lose that my sweet precious son. Mom will be whispering to you as I always do tonight & all throughout my vacation. I know you will be right by my side during the flights & while we are down in Florida. I know you will do everything to change the weather for us all so for that I thank you so much. I love you so much. I know that you are doing so many wonderful things wherever you go & wherever you are. I know you are learning so much that you need for your next journeys. Even though I can't see you or see what you are doing I am so proud of you. I always have been & I always will. I was young when I gave birth to you, Mom was only 19 & didn't have a clue to what I was suppose to do. I " winged it " quite a bit of the time but I think I did ok for the most part. You gave me a purpose when I had you. You made me see what life was all about. You opened my eyes to what we call the " circle of life. " For many years I got to see what the world was like through a child's eyes. I cherished all the times with you... the good, the bad, the hardships, the ugly. I miss being a Mom more than anything. I know I will always be a Mom but you know what I mean. I missed out, you missed out on so much but if I could I would do it all over in a heart beat. I wouldn't even blink an eye. My love for you has always been unconditional. It always will. I know you know this & I know for a fact that you can feel it deep within your soul now. That makes Mom smile every day knowing this.
Mom really doesn't have any updates for you today. I will be calling Grandpa later tonight to get one of Grammy. I spoke to Debbie quickly this morning but she didn't know how everything was. Grandpa went up there today to visit with her. Meme called Mom & we chatted for a few on her lunch break. She will be calling me tonight as well. I also got to talk with my sweet friend again. It makes Mom so happy when I do. My friend that I talk about is such a wonderful person but doesn't realize it & is always putting themselves down. It makes me so sad. Sure there have been many hardships for this person but I always try to stay positive to let them know they have so much to offer. They are just so compassionate & sweet. I hope that if that certain person reads my letter to you they will know that they mean more to Mom than what they think they do.
Mom is not sure if I will get a chance to write to you tomorrow or not but if I can't then I will make sure to write to you Friday night when we are all settled in the villa. I will have my laptop with me so I can do that. Just wanted you & everyone who reads my blog to know this! I will do my best to keep up with it either during the morning or evening while I am away. That is my promise to you, Tyler. That is all the updates that I have for you. Here is the daily prayer for today though. September 14~ Return, O my soul, to your rest, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. Dear Lord, you know that my mind, at times, can be like a restless bird flitting about from one thing to the next, trying to manage everything on my agenda. My thoughts of you, however, are like a safe & secure perch on which I can rest, catch my breath, & remember that you are in control & I don't need to be. Remind me of all the times everything has worked out in the end & of how so much of my fluttering & flailing has been wasted energy. Help me not make the mistake of leaving this perch & missing out on all the peaceful ways you work things out for the best in me. Be devoted to prayer & to listening to God & he will show you efficiencies & provisions for accomplishing your tasks, ones you never dreamed existed. They will come " out of nowhere " at times & your amazement & relief will quickly turn into joy & gratitude. Amen.
Wow...as I have been writing to you, Tyler....the sun was shining & my office was so bright & all of a sudden it is really dark out & the sky is all filled with black clouds. Guess we will be getting a thunderstorm or something & soon too. Mom will be looking to the sky tonight to see the stars & the moon shining bright again. I will be whispering to you as I always do so be listening out for me. I hope that your night is filled with all the things you want & need it to be. May you have fun & a few adventures along the way wherever you may fly to. Come visit Mom tonight so that I know you are doing well. Thanks pumpkin. Remember that you are forever in my heart, mind & soul. You are my hero & my wind beneath my wings. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. I love you to infinity & beyond.
It is that time that I need to close & get going on all the things that I need to do. Good night & sweet dreams. Until tomorrow.....
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Even though I can't see you or see what you are doing I am so proud of you. I always have been & I always will. I was young when I gave birth to you, Mom was only 19 & didn't have a clue to what I was suppose to do. I " winged it " quite a bit of the time but I think I did ok for the most part. You gave me a purpose when I had you. You made me see what life was all about. You opened my eyes to what we call the " circle of life. " For many years I got to see what the world was like through a child's eyes. I cherished all the times with you... the good, the bad, the hardships, the ugly. I miss being a Mom more than anything. I know I will always be a Mom but you know what I mean. I missed out, you missed out on so much but if I could I would do it all over in a heart beat. I wouldn't even blink an eye. My love for you has always been unconditional. It always will. I know you know this & I know for a fact that you can feel it deep within your soul now. That makes Mom smile every day knowing this.
Mom really doesn't have any updates for you today. I will be calling Grandpa later tonight to get one of Grammy. I spoke to Debbie quickly this morning but she didn't know how everything was. Grandpa went up there today to visit with her. Meme called Mom & we chatted for a few on her lunch break. She will be calling me tonight as well. I also got to talk with my sweet friend again. It makes Mom so happy when I do. My friend that I talk about is such a wonderful person but doesn't realize it & is always putting themselves down. It makes me so sad. Sure there have been many hardships for this person but I always try to stay positive to let them know they have so much to offer. They are just so compassionate & sweet. I hope that if that certain person reads my letter to you they will know that they mean more to Mom than what they think they do.
Mom is not sure if I will get a chance to write to you tomorrow or not but if I can't then I will make sure to write to you Friday night when we are all settled in the villa. I will have my laptop with me so I can do that. Just wanted you & everyone who reads my blog to know this! I will do my best to keep up with it either during the morning or evening while I am away. That is my promise to you, Tyler. That is all the updates that I have for you. Here is the daily prayer for today though. September 14~ Return, O my soul, to your rest, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. Dear Lord, you know that my mind, at times, can be like a restless bird flitting about from one thing to the next, trying to manage everything on my agenda. My thoughts of you, however, are like a safe & secure perch on which I can rest, catch my breath, & remember that you are in control & I don't need to be. Remind me of all the times everything has worked out in the end & of how so much of my fluttering & flailing has been wasted energy. Help me not make the mistake of leaving this perch & missing out on all the peaceful ways you work things out for the best in me. Be devoted to prayer & to listening to God & he will show you efficiencies & provisions for accomplishing your tasks, ones you never dreamed existed. They will come " out of nowhere " at times & your amazement & relief will quickly turn into joy & gratitude. Amen.
Wow...as I have been writing to you, Tyler....the sun was shining & my office was so bright & all of a sudden it is really dark out & the sky is all filled with black clouds. Guess we will be getting a thunderstorm or something & soon too. Mom will be looking to the sky tonight to see the stars & the moon shining bright again. I will be whispering to you as I always do so be listening out for me. I hope that your night is filled with all the things you want & need it to be. May you have fun & a few adventures along the way wherever you may fly to. Come visit Mom tonight so that I know you are doing well. Thanks pumpkin. Remember that you are forever in my heart, mind & soul. You are my hero & my wind beneath my wings. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. I love you to infinity & beyond.
It is that time that I need to close & get going on all the things that I need to do. Good night & sweet dreams. Until tomorrow.....
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday evening? Mom has had a pretty up & down day as you could see. Not one of the best days but definitely not one of my worst either. Mom managed to tab most of her Psychology book so that is a plus. I will finish it up tomorrow. I was hoping that the college would call or email me with a date this week for my Proctor Exam but that didn't happen so looks like Mom won't be taking that until after vacation. I am kinda bummed as the information is in my head right now but there is nothing that I can do. I will just study when we get back & then take it. I will do the best I can. I believe that I will do well either way as I know you will be right next to me.
We are 2 days out from vacation now. Tomorrow is the last day of work for Mark & everyone up North. I have been talking to a friend of mine that lives in Florida about the weather & the rain. Guess it is usual around this time of year. I just hope it is scattered showers here & there & not constant rain all the time....that would not be a vacation at all for any of us. I know you will be doing your best to make sure the weather cooperates for us. Mom just checked it again & it is still saying the same. Please help us, Tyler. I want everyone to have a wonderful time. This would just ruin it all. I will be praying for good weather.
I have a couple updates for you.... Aunt Jacqui is finally home from rehab. She was in the hospital & in the rehab facility for almost 4 weeks. That is good news. Uncle Dick will now start taking care of himself now that she is home. I got an email today from Aunt Shirley saying that Grammy is again sick with pneumonia. She sent me a video of her & it made Mom so sad. She is so sickly looking & frail. Guess Aunt Shirley & Grandpa tried telling the nurses she was sick last week & they did not listen to them & now she is really sick. I know you see it & I believe that you are with Grammy, helping her so she doesn't have to be alone. Thank you my sweet precious son. Mom's friend's brother has taken a few steps backwards again. They did a test to see if he could swallow food & he failed it. He is having severe pain in his left arm & the doctor's are thinking he may have a blood clot. I know this person has made mistakes in the past & some people think it is karma coming back at him but Mom thinks that if indeed it is karma then karma is being very mean to him. Enough is enough. I am praying for him & everyone daily. I truly believe that the power of prayer works! Mom also spoke to Auntie Kristina today. I am worried about her too. Things are not good for her & I am praying that they will get better. I know she calls on you quite often for help. That makes me happy. Thanks for helping her & everyone along the way, Tyler. That is all I have for you tonight. I am sure to have more for you tomorrow though.
Mom was sitting outside for a bit & I saw the moon. It is bright. The stars are just shining bright too. There are so many in the sky tonight. I was talking to you. Did you hear Mom? I sure hope so. I smiled as I was seeing them all. I will whisper to you later again so be listen out for Mom for a 2nd time. I will smile again & I sure hope that you smile too!
Here is your daily prayer for tonight. September 13~ Out of my distress I called on the Lord; the Lord answered me & set me in a broad place. It's just a matter of time, sovereign Lord, until each struggle I face passes & I emerge from a place of distress into a place of deliverance & rest. Help me to never abandon hope in the middle of a trail. May I always press on in prayer, calling out to you, knowing that you hear me & that you are orchestrating the outcome for my eternal good. Hear my prayer even now, for I am calling on you for the deliverance I need this day. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. Amen.
Well Tyler, Mom is going to close this letter. It is getting really late & morning will be here before we all know it. I hope that you night is restful & peaceful for you. I hope that you do everything you are needing & wanting to do. Come be with Mom tonight as I try to sleep. I miss you so so much. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. You will remain in my heart, mind & soul. You are my hero & Mom's wind beneath my wings. Never forget this. I know you feel it in your soul! Good night & sweet dreams. Until tomorrow.....

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday evening? Mom is doing well tonight. I actually got some sleep last night & today has been a pretty productive day for me. I submitted my exam for school & will see what I get in the next few days. I guess I will not be able to do my Proctor exam before we leave on Friday. I was pretty bummed at that but there is nothing I can do. Its up to the college on that. I finished the Psychology course so hopefully I will get a good final grade. Mark worked all day long. He left early this morning & got home pretty late tonight. We actually just got done eating dinner & its almost 8 pm. Tomorrow & Wednesday will be quite busy as well. Lots of little things to do before everyone gets here on Thursday. Mom is starting to get excited & nervous. I know we will have a good time. I just want the weather to work out for us.... please help us with that, Tyler. Thanks pumpkin!
Mom spoke to Aunt Beck today. They are getting to leave early tomorrow morning for their vacation. I also got to speak to Meme for a few minutes. She is tired & wanted to go lay down. Bob is getting excited to go. Right now as I am writing to you, Mom is also chatting with Grandpa. He was telling me that he went to visit you today. That made me smile. He tells me that he goes there quite frequently. I am sure that makes you smile too. Mom also got to speak to my sweet friend today. I haven't spoken to him in almost 1 1/2 months. It was really good to hear their voice! It made Mom smile & shed a few tears. That is all the updates that I have for you for tonight. I do have your daily prayer for the day.
September 12~ I kept my faith, even when I said, " I am greatly afflicted. " Lord, I don't understand my suffering, but I will choose to trust you anyway. You are my strength & deliverer. I praise you with all my heart. I asked God for strength, that I might achieve..... I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey, I asked for health, that I might do greater things.....I was given infirmity, that I might do better things. I asked for riches, that I might be happy.... I was given poverty, that I might be wise. I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men.....I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of god. I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life..... I was given life, that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing that I asked for----but everything I had hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am, among all men, most richly blessed. Amen.
The night sky is upon us for the night. The moon is shining & I saw it. I looked at it for a few minutes. I know the stars are shining bright too. Mom will be whispering to you in a bit... be listening out for me. I will smile & I hope you do as well. Hope that your night is all that you want & need it be. Have fun & some adventures too. Come visit Mom if you can. I love it when you do. It lets me know you are doing well. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul. You are the wind beneath my wings & my true hero. I miss you more than words can say & I love you unconditionally my sweet precious son. Continue to fly high & free. Good night & sweet dreams. Until tomorrow.....

Sunday, September 11, 2016
Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday early afternoon? Mom is writing to you now for a few reasons.... Mark is working doing another cut over & I have already been ready for the day since early this morning. When Mark is done we have to go out & run some errands so that we are set for vacation this week. Later this evening we have our usual skype call with Tubal & Karen so it is going to get to be a very busy & crazy day for us & I wanted to write to you now while I had the time. Mom is sorry that I did not write you a letter last night. Honestly, I never even turned on my computer. Mom did some things around the apartment that needed to get done & then I caught up on my tv shows that I wanted to while Mark played a video game with his brothers. I later made dinner & then went to bed. Guess it was one of those days that I needed to be away from all electronics & just have a day to myself.
Today is September 11th....do you remember that day, Tyler? The day that the world changed? It was the morning that the terrorist attacks happened to the twin towers in NY. Hundreds of lives were taken from their families, there friends, their loved ones. The 1st plane struck the 1 tower at 8:46 am. I was just about at work when I heard what happened. You were in school. I remember having to stay at work that day with Auntie Kristi. No one was on the roads. It was like our town was a ghost town & we were the only survivors. I remember coming home to watching it all over the news & seeing people just jumping out of the buildings. I remember calling you & telling you just how much you meant to me, how much I loved you even though you already knew. I remember being told that Uncle Dick was in that area on business. We didn't know if he was ok or not & didn't hear from him until 2 days later. Just a few minutes ago the weather went from sunny to dark & overcast. In a matter of seconds the sky opened up & it just rained as hard as it could. I opened up the balcony door & watched it for a few minutes. I said out loud that those were the tears of all that were grieving the loss of someone they lost on this day 15 years ago. It was around this very same time that the 2nd tower fell & collapsed to the ground. Ironic for the weather to do that at that very time... I think not. The sun is now out again after that 15 minute rain fall & I bet somewhere there is a rainbow, maybe a double rainbow telling us all that everyone is at peace & ok.
Mom spoke to Grandpa & Debbie last night for a few minutes. All is well with them & they are now excited to come down & get vacation under way! Mom will probably speak to Meme later today & Aunt Beck tomorrow as she & John will be leaving for their vacation for the week. Mom didn't really talk to anyone else on the phone. I did get a picture sent to me by my friend. It was a picture of his brother, the one who was in the motorcycle accident. He looked better than what I thought he would. Yes he has a trach & seeing that just brought back so many memories of you. He still has a very long road ahead of him & Mom hopes that he will be strong enough to get through all of it. That is all the updates that I have for you right now but I do have 2 daily prayers that I need to write so here they are.....September 10~ For the righteous will never be moved..... They are not afraid of evil tidings; their hearts are firm, secure in the Lord. Fear might rise up temporarily in my heart, my Lord, but it can't camp there, not when I keep in mind that my future is everlastingly secure with you. Even death is not an end for me; it is the portal through which I'll pass on the way to my true home in your presence. Anything else along my path on earth is not to be feared, because you are taking me on my journey to that eternal place of rest & delight. Even the worst news on earth cannot eclipse the good news of the gospel, which declares God's love & saving grace. Amen.
September 11~ The Lord has been mindful of us....he will bless those who fear the Lord, both small & great. May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, May the rain fall soft upon your fields, And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand. The hope that God will bless us is not a vain wish; it is a certainly that he who made us will also be good to us as we entrust ourselves to his care. Amen.
Mom is all caught up again., That wasn't so bad. It is time for me to get going though as I need to go run all my errands & Mark is finished with work & also finished getting ready for the day. Mom hopes that you will have many adventures along the way today & tonight. May it peaceful & restful for you. May it be all that you need & want it to be. Tonight, come visit Mom in my dreams or just sit next to me. I need you, I will always need you my sweet precious son. I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my hero, my wind beneath my wings & will forever remain in my heart, mind & soul. You will always be my everything!
I will look to the sky tonight for the stars & the moon to be shining bright for Mom to see. I will whisper to you as I always do. Be listening for my voice. I am sure we will be smiling together at the same time. I will close my eyes & see your smile. I love you unconditionally, Tyler. Have a good day & night. Sweet dreams later......Until tomorrow......
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
P.S. Mom is needing to ask a favor of you, Tyler & the Angels..... I noticed that on the weather it states that the majority of the time we are in Florida for vacation it is suppose to rain...scattered thunderstorms at a 50 -60 % chance every day......if there is anything you can do to make sure that the weather changes & we actually have sunny weather for the most part that would be amazing. I want everyone to have a good time. Thank you. I love you xoxoxo.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this Friday evening? Mom is doing ok. Been a busy day for me that's for sure. Today is Grandpa's Birthday so make sure you go see him & give him big hugs & kisses. I spoke to him earlier & he was having a great day. The weather was perfect. The temps were in the high 90's & it was hot & muggy. Summer weather for sure is still here for us & not Fall weather....lol. I won't complain though as I know what season is coming next & Mom will not rush it at all.
Mom did some studying today. I finished my last 2 chapters in my Psychology book. I took my last exam & will be awaiting the time & date of my Proctor Exam next week. Mom is nervous about that as it is a timed exam but I know I will do just fine as you will be right by my side while I take it.
I got to speak to several people today on the phone. It was nice to catch up with Aunt Beck. They have been busy doing some camping last week & will be going camping again next week to. John did have a scare & gotten bit by a brown recluse spider. They both caught it in time before if got serious. Thank God for that! I will be chatting with her again Monday before they leave & we leave for vacation. I also got to speak to Auntie Kristina too. She is doing well as can be. She has had some medical issues come up so anything that you can do where you are will be greatly appreciated. Thanks pumpkin. Mom needs to get in touch with Meme tonight as well. I will give you that update tomorrow night. I think that is all the updates I have for you.
Mom watched the sunset tonight & it had a little pink in it. It was pretty so thanks for that. I will be looking to the night sky later to see if I see the moon & the stars shining bright. Hope I get to see some. Mom will whisper to you so be listening out for my voice. Smile when you hear it. I will smile too. I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity and beyond.
I hope your night is all that you want & need it to be. May you fly as high as you want tonight & have a couple adventures along the way. Mom is hoping that you come & be by my side tonight as I need to get some sleep desperately. Please help Mom if you can. Thank you.
Before I close I will write the daily prayer to you so here it is. September 9~ It was well with those who deal generously & lend, who conduct their affairs with justice. Sweetest Lord, make me appreciate of the dignity of my high vocation & it's many responsibilities. Never permit me to disgrace it by giving way to coldness, unkindness, or impatience. The presence of a gracious soul is like a heaven sent breeze blowing through a stale room, bringing refreshment & the reminder that there are things in life far superior to one's own interests. Amen.
Remember Tyler, you are forever in my heart, mind & soul & you are my true hero. You are Mom's wind beneath my wings & my brightest shining star. I love you with all that I have....unconditionally. Good night my sweet precious son & sweet dreams. Until tomorrow......
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this Friday evening? Mom is doing ok. Been a busy day for me that's for sure. Today is Grandpa's Birthday so make sure you go see him & give him big hugs & kisses. I spoke to him earlier & he was having a great day. The weather was perfect. The temps were in the high 90's & it was hot & muggy. Summer weather for sure is still here for us & not Fall weather....lol. I won't complain though as I know what season is coming next & Mom will not rush it at all.
