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 afternoon? Mom is having a hard day today. Guess it is just one of those days where the tears just want to fall no matter what I am doing or saying to anyone. It could be the weather that we are having...snow again...shocker...NOT or it probably is that a couple days ago someone said something to me that hurt my feelings very deeply. I know they were not trying to be mean about it but it stung & it stung really hard. I know you know what I am talking about. It is a very sensitive subject for Mom & it has been for quite some time now. Please help me to get over the pain & help me to figure out what I need to do. I need your help Tyler. Thank you.
Mark was pretty busy this morning. It went into the office to do some things for work, then ran a few errands as tomorrow is April 1st & then he went & got my vehicle inspected as today was the last day it was legal. Now he is right back at work until 5 pm where after he can relax for a couple days over the weekend. Mom was kind of busy as well. I was up early & tended to he pups, got everything ready for Mark before he left...coffee, lunch, snacks, etc... then I eat breakfast, started to prep for dinner tonight as it will take quite a while to cook tonight, made 2 loaves of homemade banana bread & then finally got ready. I also did housework for a little bit & now I am writing to you. Mom needs the weekend to just sit back & relax as well. This week has been long & very busy. I am tired. Mark & Mom do not have any plans at all so that is wonderful. It will be doing light things or nothing at all. The weather today is snow, sleet, freezing rain & will continue on into tomorrow morning. We are only suppose to get a couple inches of snow but up North where we just were for 3 days is getting slammed with snow....that heavy, wet snow. They are suppose to get anywhere from 10 - 12". Mother Nature is playing a cruel joke on everyone as it is April Fools Day tomorrow. We are 2 weeks unto Spring & still getting winter weather. The temps have been brutally cold as well. Maybe we will get to have a longer Summer & fall this year & a short winter next year. Just like everything else...time will tell.
Mom doesn't have any updates for you at all as I did not talk to anyone last night. I sent Aunt Beck a text message to see how they are but I haven't received a response yet. I am sure they are enjoying there road trip & being thankful for missing this storm...lol. I did chat with Meme on her lunch break... I just remembered that. All is well with them. I also spoke to Auntie Kristina. She is doing well. She listened to Mom just be sad about many things. It was nice to talk to someone about it without being judged at all. She told Mom that I was beautiful inside & out. I said thank you even though I do not believe it. I know that is sad to say but Mom is just being honest. Maybe over the weekend I will have updates for you as I know I will not be chatting with anyone tonight as they will be busy shoveling or snow blowing. I know you will watch over them & keep them safe so thank you, Tyler.
Here is the daily prayer for today: March 31~ For the Lord loves justice; he will not forsake his faithful ones. The righteous shall be kept safe forever. Harm may come knocking at my door, dear Father, but I will not be destroyed by it, because you keep me safe. Darkness may fall on my circumstances, but I will not be lost in it, because you will not forsake me. Evil may seek me out, but I will not be swallowed up by it, because you come to my aid. Loving Father, you will keep me safe now & forever because I am yours. If I believe God will keep me safe forever, what can my suffering in this life mean? It can only mean that I am not yet home. But God is faithfully leading me there to my eternal haven, keeping me safe from abandoning the path along the way through this sometimes painful but temporal journey. Amen.
Here is Day 18 of the inner peace cards: I create my reality with my thoughts. You create your thoughts, your thoughts create your intentions & your intentions create your reality. Mom just reread this & I guess I better start understanding that this is correct & very true. Reading this is an eye opener for Mom will things that she is going through & dealing with at this time in her life. Maybe I needed this as a reminder.
Well, it is that time of the day where Mom needs to get going & finish prepping things for dinner & get the pups fed for the night. Hopefully Ms. Princess will eat as she has not been wanting to the last few days/nights. Mom hopes that you have a peaceful night flying high & floating on the clouds while you watch over us all. I hope you get to do all that you want & need to do. Mom will whisper to you later this evening. Be listening & smile when you hear my voice. I will try to smile as well. Come visit me in my dreams tonight if you can while I try to sleep. I miss you so much. My heart hurts all the time. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You will forever live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Until tomorrow night..... good night & sweet dreams my sweet precious son.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom & Mark are back home again. We left VT around 9:20 am & arrived back here about 11:45 am. We really made great time & the traffic was very little. Mom was sure happy not to be going North bound as the traffic was bumper to bumper for about 24 miles. I felt so bad for all of them. Just looking at it all made me have anxiety. Mom is writing to you right now because I know later on I will be so tired that I will not have the energy to do anything. My eyes are heavy now but I am forcing myself to not sleep as I know I won't tonight. Mom told you that I slept most of the day yesterday & surprisingly when the hotel was quiet I slept pretty good but there were many times that it was very noisy & the pups barked. All in all I feel better than I did yesterday & last night. My stomach isn't doing flip flops or feel stick so that makes Mom very happy. I am hoping to get a good night sleep tonight 7 get up tomorrow & start doing my studying. I need to get this going so that I can move on. Looks like I will graduate at the end of the summer now...August or September. That is still good considering I started July 2016.... still only 13 -14 months for a 24 month degree program! Thank you for helping Mom out every step of the way in my life whether it is being with me when I am sick, traveling to wherever or during my studies. It means so much to Mom. I will always need you my sweet precious son.
Mom has no updates for you at all but I did get the chance to chat with Meme this morning & Debbie. I called to let them know that we were home safely. Mom will try to touch base with Aunt Beck to see how their vacation is going tomorrow. I will call Grandpa later tonight as well. Debbie was sick last night too. She is staying home & relaxing tonight. Hope she feels better in the morning. Meme said she was sick as well. Hope she feels better & can relax when she gets out of work tonight. I know you will watch over them & all of us as you do all the time. Thank you again.
Here is the daily prayer for today: March 30~ The meek shall inherit the land & delight themselves in abundant prosperity. Meekness is amazingly powerful, Lord! In your " economy " everything is upside down from how many people see things. They say grasping for power & money & fame is the way to make the world your own. You tell me to lay down everything & be humble & you will bring your power to bear in my life to give me the best kind of spiritual life. Today, I choose your way over the world's. Meekness sounds a lot like weakness & can even look like weakness when a person chooses not to take matters into his or her own hands but to wait for God to intercede. Nothing, however, could take more strength of character than that particular act of faith----the act of being gentle, humble & meek. Amen.
Here is the inner peace card for Day 17 : My soul guards me in the right direction. Your soul---that inner quiet space is yours to consult. It will always guide you in the right direction. It always does. Those " gut " feelings.... they will always be right. Mom is learning that more every day.
Mom hopes that you have a wonderful & fun night tonight doing all that you need to & want to. May you come visit me in my dreams as well. I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. You will always be my hero & the wind beneath my winds. Be listening for Mom to whisper to you tonight. Smile & I will too. Hope to see a " painting " of yours in the sky tonight as the sun sets. The sky is blue & clear of clouds! I will be looking for the stars too. I will be back tomorrow night with another letter to you so until then....good night & sweet dreams, Tyler!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday evening? Mom is not doing so hot. All day I have been sick in the hotel room. I wanted to take today to come visit you because the last time I was here I didn't get to because I was in the hotel room the whole time we were here....well same thing happened this time. Mom slept all day until 3:45 pm & I have been sick since I woke up. Not fun. I feel so sad & guilty because I didn't go. Please forgive me my sweet precious son.
Mark didn't get back to the hotel until midnight last night. He said that the drive back was brutal as it was raining & very foggy. Thank you for watching over him. He did not have to go back today though like he thought he would as the cut over didn't take place. That means that we will be back up here again for another 3 days in a couple weeks so he can do it again. This is just crazy but it is his job. Mom doesn't like it but I have learned not to bother saying anything anymore as it doesn't get me anywhere.
The day was quiet & Mark left at 4 pm to go visit with one of his friends. He hasn't seen him in 10 months. It is now 8:30 pm & he is still not back. Guess he is having a good time & as always he loses track of time. I probably won't see him until 10 pm or later. It really bothers me that he gets to get out of the hotel & go where he wants but I never get to. I have to stay here & be with the dogs as they are not allowed to stay in the hotel alone. I had many visitors yesterday so it made the time go by fast & tonight Meme, Bob, Grandpa & Debbie were here for dinner but they didn't stay long as everyone was tired from a long day. It was good to see everyone. When they all leave it makes me realize just how much I miss everyone so much. I miss you so much. No words can or will ever express just how much. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. I know you know this & you feel it in your soul. I hope you always will. You are my everything. My hero & the wind beneath my wings. You will forever live inside my heart, mind, body & soul.
Tomorrow Mark & Mom are headed back home. Please be with us as we travel back. Please be with Mom so that I feel better to drive home & that I can & will make the 3+ hours back. It is not fun to travel when you don't feel good....you know that more than anyone. Thank you so much, Tyler.
Mom doesn't have any updates for you tonight. I will probably tomorrow though. I do have your daily prayer for the day: March 29~ Refrain from anger & forsake wrath. Do not fret---it lends only to evil. Heavenly Father, may I not enter into the kind of consuming anger that eats me up inside. If there is something I'm holding on to----some angry grudge or annoying circumstance I keep mulling over----help me let it go right now, put it into your hands & walk on, free of it's power. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen. Be angry & yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger & do not give the devil the opportunity. Amen.
Here is day 16 of the inner peace cards: I create the world that I live in. No one can create negativity or stress within you. Only you can do that by virtue of how your process your world. This card is very true. No one can create anything in your life but it sure is easy to let it happen & blame everything under the sun for it. As like everything in this world & everyone's life it is a work in progress. Mom has this issue as well & I try to turn things around on a daily basis. Small steps but I will conquer it!
Mom is hoping that you will have a wonderful night. May you get to do all the things you want to & need to do. Have fun while I sleep tonight & come visit me in my dreams if you can. Mom would love that so much. I will whisper to you in a little bit so be listening out for my voice later. Smile & I will too. Mom is going to close this letter for now. I am hoping to relax for a little bit & watch TV & then turn the lights off & go to bed to get up early in the morning. I will be back tomorrow night though with another letter to you. Until then...good night & sweet dreams, Ty! I love you.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday morning? Mom is already tired...lol. Mark & Mom went to bed early last night....8:30 pm so we could get up & be on the road this morning by 6 am. Mom indeed was up at 4:45 am & we all were out the door by exactly 6 am. I was surprised by how fast I was out the door but I knew Mark wanted to leave as we would be headed into traffic & boy were we....ugh! The traffic was terrible but we made it & that is what counts. We arrived at the hotel around 10 am so it took almost 4 hours to get here when it should be a 2 1/2 hour drive. Mark has already left for the day to go to his client & won't be back until super late tonight. Mom is relaxing & hoping the pups settle down soon. They miss Mark...especially Princess. Mom is writing to you now because I know later tonight I will be crashing early. Mom has Uncle Chris coming over to visit in a few & then my friend Gary will be here for a bit. Later this evening Meme & Bob will come here for dinner. Tomorrow I will be seeing Grandpa & Debbie for dinner. That will be the last time I see them until Easter Sunday so that will be 2 1/2 weeks or so. I will be back here again in May for Mom's Birthday & Mother's Day weekend.
There really are no updates for you as nothing has been going on the last couple of days. It has been pretty quiet. I know I will have some for you in tomorrows letter when I see everyone again. Mom does have a couple daily prayers & inner peace cards to catch up on so here they all are: March 26~ Take delight in the Lord & he will give you the desires of your heart. When was the last time I delighted in you, my Lord? Was it when I thrilled at some bit of simple but profound wisdom in your Word? Was it when I sensed your presence with me in in some corner of my day? Or when I stopped to linger appreciatively over some aspect of this world you've created? Everything about you delights me---even the fact that you sometimes correct me, because I know you care for me. There will be reasons today for me to delight in you, as well. Help me not miss them, for you are the deepest desire of my heart. Delighting in the Lord is not a spiritual discipline, but rather an inevitability for those who love God. Amen.
March 27~ Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him & he will act. I am trusting Thee, Lord Jesus, Trusting only Thee! Trusting thee for full salvation, Great & free. I am trusting Thee to guide me; Thou alone shalt lead, Every day & hour supplying all my need. I am trusting Thee, Lord Jesus! God is the only proper object of our faith; any other object is nothing more or less than an idol. Amen.
March 28~ Be still before the Lord & wait patiently for him; do not fret over those who prosper in their way, over those who carry out evil devices. Why is it that those who do the right thing so often seem to lose out, while those who take shortcuts & cheat & steal & lie seem to have the advantage? I want to call people on these things----to say something to the person who jumps in front of me in line, to call attention to the lies of that coworker who got away with something he or she shouldn't have & to set things right when someone isn't being fair! But you call me to be still, Lord----to be still in mind & body & to wait for you. Please take the grudging attitude from my obedience & help me wait willingly, expectantly & patiently. My grandma was witty & wise, & one of the verses she used to remind us of when she knew we were trying to get away with something we shouldn't was " Be sure your sin will find you out. " " God sees, even if I don't, " she told us. Amen.
Mom is all caught up with the daily prayers so now here is the 3 inner peace cards for you: Day 13~ I choose to perceive the peaceful side of life. There are two ways to look at virtually anything. One is the violent way & one is the peaceful way. It's the Yin & Yang of the Universe.
Day 14~ A well of love resides within me. Peaceful, enlightened people have love within them just like everyone else does....the only difference is that they have nothing else within them.
Day 15~ I am patient & loving with my fearful thoughts. Be patient & loving with every fearful thought. Practice observing your fears as a witness & you'll see them dissolve.
Mom is all caught up....finally! I took a break from writing to you this morning because Uncle Chris & Gary stopped by to visit with Mom. It was so nice to see them both. I have known both those boys for about 30 + years! We always have a great time just laughing & talking. Uncle Chris & I had lunch so that was nice as well. Now it is after 5 pm & I need to get going. I fed the pups already but I know that Meme & Bob will be here shortly for dinner. Mom hopes you have a great night doing all the things you need to & want to do. Please come be with Mom as I will need you by my side tonight. Thank you my sweet precious son. I will whisper to you later during the night. Be listening out for my voice. Smile & I will too. I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the ways around the world. To infinity & beyond. You will forever live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Until tomorrow.....good night & sweet dreams to you, Tyler.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Mark has already left for the day to go to his client & won't be back until super late tonight. Mom is relaxing & hoping the pups settle down soon. They miss Mark...especially Princess. Mom is writing to you now because I know later tonight I will be crashing early. Mom has Uncle Chris coming over to visit in a few & then my friend Gary will be here for a bit. Later this evening Meme & Bob will come here for dinner. Tomorrow I will be seeing Grandpa & Debbie for dinner. That will be the last time I see them until Easter Sunday so that will be 2 1/2 weeks or so. I will be back here again in May for Mom's Birthday & Mother's Day weekend.
There really are no updates for you as nothing has been going on the last couple of days. It has been pretty quiet. I know I will have some for you in tomorrows letter when I see everyone again. Mom does have a couple daily prayers & inner peace cards to catch up on so here they all are: March 26~ Take delight in the Lord & he will give you the desires of your heart. When was the last time I delighted in you, my Lord? Was it when I thrilled at some bit of simple but profound wisdom in your Word? Was it when I sensed your presence with me in in some corner of my day? Or when I stopped to linger appreciatively over some aspect of this world you've created? Everything about you delights me---even the fact that you sometimes correct me, because I know you care for me. There will be reasons today for me to delight in you, as well. Help me not miss them, for you are the deepest desire of my heart. Delighting in the Lord is not a spiritual discipline, but rather an inevitability for those who love God. Amen.
March 27~ Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him & he will act. I am trusting Thee, Lord Jesus, Trusting only Thee! Trusting thee for full salvation, Great & free. I am trusting Thee to guide me; Thou alone shalt lead, Every day & hour supplying all my need. I am trusting Thee, Lord Jesus! God is the only proper object of our faith; any other object is nothing more or less than an idol. Amen.
March 28~ Be still before the Lord & wait patiently for him; do not fret over those who prosper in their way, over those who carry out evil devices. Why is it that those who do the right thing so often seem to lose out, while those who take shortcuts & cheat & steal & lie seem to have the advantage? I want to call people on these things----to say something to the person who jumps in front of me in line, to call attention to the lies of that coworker who got away with something he or she shouldn't have & to set things right when someone isn't being fair! But you call me to be still, Lord----to be still in mind & body & to wait for you. Please take the grudging attitude from my obedience & help me wait willingly, expectantly & patiently. My grandma was witty & wise, & one of the verses she used to remind us of when she knew we were trying to get away with something we shouldn't was " Be sure your sin will find you out. " " God sees, even if I don't, " she told us. Amen.
Mom is all caught up with the daily prayers so now here is the 3 inner peace cards for you: Day 13~ I choose to perceive the peaceful side of life. There are two ways to look at virtually anything. One is the violent way & one is the peaceful way. It's the Yin & Yang of the Universe.
Day 14~ A well of love resides within me. Peaceful, enlightened people have love within them just like everyone else does....the only difference is that they have nothing else within them.
Day 15~ I am patient & loving with my fearful thoughts. Be patient & loving with every fearful thought. Practice observing your fears as a witness & you'll see them dissolve.
Mom is all caught up....finally! I took a break from writing to you this morning because Uncle Chris & Gary stopped by to visit with Mom. It was so nice to see them both. I have known both those boys for about 30 + years! We always have a great time just laughing & talking. Uncle Chris & I had lunch so that was nice as well. Now it is after 5 pm & I need to get going. I fed the pups already but I know that Meme & Bob will be here shortly for dinner. Mom hopes you have a great night doing all the things you need to & want to do. Please come be with Mom as I will need you by my side tonight. Thank you my sweet precious son. I will whisper to you later during the night. Be listening out for my voice. Smile & I will too. I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the ways around the world. To infinity & beyond. You will forever live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Until tomorrow.....good night & sweet dreams to you, Tyler.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday night? Mom is not really doing so well tonight. I am sorry that I didn't write to you last night but as you could probably see Mom was not able to really walk. I am not sure what I did Saturday but my left leg is very sore. I can't bend it let alone walk on it. I have done nothing but relax today in hopes it will get better by tomorrow. Mark & Mom were suppose to leave today & drive up to NH but that didn't happen as Mark had to go to his office for the day. We will be leaving early tomorrow morning. Mom is hoping to get a good night sleep so I can be up & ready to go. Everything is packed so that will be a huge help.
This weekend was just what I thought it would be. We all had so much fun. Lots of laughs, food, drinks & conversation. It was much needed & Mom enjoyed it all. When Sunday afternoon rolled around & everyone had to leave I was so sad. Time goes by too fast. I will be seeing everyone tomorrow night so that makes me happy. I know you were with us this weekend so thank you. Hope you heard Mom whisper to you as I always do. I will do it again in a little bit. There won't be anything shining in the sky tonight as it has been raining here all day. Lots of clouds & fog is settling in for the evening. Smile when you hear my voice & I will too. Please be with me tonight when I sleep & tomorrow when we drive to NH. Thank you my sweet precious son.
Mom will write the daily prayers to you & the inner peace cards on tomorrow's letter as I am writing to you on my cell phone right now. I hope that you have a peaceful night doing all the things you need to do & want to do. Continue to fly high & free. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You forever live in my heart, mind, body & soul. I miss you more than words can say & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Mom needs to get going to help with the night routine. After that it is back to resting my leg for the night. Until tomorrow...good night & sweet dreams, Tyler.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Saturday morning? Mom is up early & ready for everyone to get here. I am pretty impressed as I am the one who is usually the last one to be ready or the one who is always late! Guess I am just excited to see everyone & be able to visit with them for 2 days. I wish you were here though. Things are never the same as they used to be. I know you will be here in your own way so give Mom a sign to let me know you are near. Thank you. I am sorry that Mom did not write to you but I was so busy yesterday from the time I got up until it was time to make dinner. I didn't just sit & relax until about 7 pm last night. I did the housework...dusted & vacuum, cleaned the bathrooms, the kitchen, got my office ready for our family to visit, gave princess & Ozzy baths, made homemade cupcakes, gathered trash up, I got ready in the afternoon, & then I finally made out my birthday invitations so I could mail them out. I finished all that just in time to feed the pups & then make dinner for Mark & I. Mom was so tired after all this & I basically just watch TV for a bit & then played golf with Mark. I should have wrote to you but my eyes hurt. Mark said last night I must have been tired because I snored & kept him up for a couple hours...lol.
Mom doesn't have any updates for you other than Meme, Bob, Grandpa & Debbie are on their way here. They left early this morning & will be arriving within the next 30 minutes or so. The weather was cloudy & rainy but now it is starting to become brighter & I think maybe the sun is trying to peak out a bit. Hope it stays that way! Mom is taking Meme & Debbie to the movies to go see Beauty and the Beast. I know we will all have a blast. Then after we are going out to dinner & then back home to relax for the night. Tomorrow Mom is taking the ladies to go get their nails done while the boys are going out to breakfast. After that we will head to lunch before everyone has to get going & head home. Mom will also have to clean up & pack as we are headed to NH for 4 days next week for work for Mark again. Guess it is going to be a busy several days for us! I know you will be with us so I am not worried at all. Mom is sure to have more updates about the weekend on tomorrows letter to you. Here are the daily prayers I need to catch up on: March 24~ Do not fret because of the wicked; do not be envious of the wrongdoers, for they will soon fade like the grass & wither like the green herb. Lord, it's hard not to get upset when wickedness seems to prevail. I hear about horrors in the news; I learn of crimes in my community; I am told of injustices in government; I feel the effects of evildoers, even in my personal life. But you say, in your Word, that wickedness is short-lived & that those who insist on walking in crooked paths will soon disappear; Here today, gone tomorrow. Wow! That's sobering. Help me trust your love of righteousness & justice that is able to set things right. It's a good thing for me to hate evil., but remind me to pray for those who have become ensnared by it. No man is condemned for anything he has done; he is condemned for continuing to do wrong. He is condemned for not coming out of the darkness, for not coming into the light. Amen.
March 25~ Trust in the Lord & do good; so you will live in the land & enjoy security. At times, almighty God, evil seems prevalent in the world. But I know that evil will not prevail. You prevail in all things. So I'll keep my focus on you & do what is right, even if it seems like an exercise in futility & even though it seems as if doing wrong would get me ahead & doing right will cause me grief. I will choose to do good, entrusting my well-being & security to you. Those who do good can look at themselves in the mirror, look others in the eye & look heavenward in prayer without shame. Amen.
Mom is all caught up but I need to write out day 11 & 12 of the inner peace cards so here they are: Day 11~ I am in support of everything in my life. Everything you are against can be restated in a way that puts you in support of something. Instead of being at war, be at peace; instead of being against poverty, be for prosperity.
Day 12~ I am a miracle worker. Be consistently aware of the need to serve God & serve others in any & all of your actions. That is the way of a miracle worker.
Ok.... Mom is caught up in everything now! I need to unfortunately get going because time is flying by & everyone will be here very soon. Mom hopes that you will be smiling as you see us all visiting & laughing. Mom will be smiling just for you my sweet precious son. I miss you like crazy & I love you more than anything. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. Remember you are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You will forever live within my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom will whisper to you later tonight when I look to the sky. Be listening out for my voice. I will smile then too & hope you will as well. Hope that your evening is all that you need & want it to be. May you get the chance to come be with Mom while I sleep or be able to visit me in my dreams. Thank you. Have fun at least while I sleep. Fly high & free like I know you do all the time. Until tomorrow night.... good night & sweet dreams.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday evening? Mom once again has been so busy with many things today the time has escaped me & I didn't even realize that it was 4:35 pm. This letter is going to have to be a quick one tonight so that I can get dinner going for Mark & I & also feed Princess & Ozzy. I am so sorry about that...please forgive Mom.
The weather today has been sunny but very cold. It was only 20 degrees today. The sky is blue & very little clouds so I am hoping to look to the sky tonight & see the stars & maybe the moon shining bright. Maybe there will also be a beautiful sunset in a couple hours. I will be looking so do your magic paintings for Mom to see. Thanks pumpkin!
Mark had me working on searching for things on line all day. We got some pretty exciting news last night & Mom is keeping her fingers crossed that everything works out & just sky rockets in a few months. I know you know what Mom is talking about as I am sure you have watched me throughout the day today. I am not able to tell the world just yet what is going on but soon enough we will be able to. I know you are smiling & proud of us. That makes Mom smile. Thank you my sweet precious son! I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. I wish you were here physically to help us as I know you would be so good at all this. I know you are with us in the only way you can be so I will take what I can get. Either way it still means the world to Mom. I will always need you by my side. You are my strength. You always have been. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings.
Mom has no updates for you so here is the daily prayer for the day: March 23~ How precious is your steadfast love, O God! All people may take refuge in the shadows of your wings. There is no one you exclude from your invitation to come to you, divine Lord. That includes me! So I come gratefully today, joyfully, to find a place of shelter in your protective love. I know I will encounter ups & downs but I also know that as I continue to entrust myself to your care, the " downs " will be buffered by the knowledge that I am perfectly safe & truly cared for by you. God's love is such that I am never disqualified from receiving it. It is always accessible to me. Only my unwillingness to accept it from him can ever deprive me of its full benefits. Amen.
Here is day 11 of the inner peace cards: I am in charge of my emotions; they're not in charge of me. You control your emotions. You do not have to explode with anger whenever someone else decides to behave in an angry or vindictive way. This is absolutely so true. I have learned this the hard way & many times over.
Well Mom is super late on getting dinner going for Mark & I as it is now 6 pm. He fed the pups for me so that is helpful. I need to get going for now. Mom hopes that you come visit me in my dreams & be by my side tonight as I sleep. Have fun as well doing all the things you need to & want to. I will write to you again tomorrow night & hopefully have more updates for you. Please continue to watch over us all. I know you do but Mom still likes to ask you for your help. Thank you, Tyler. I miss you so much. No words can even express just how much. I hope you feel it in your soul. I will whisper to you later so be listening out for my voice. Let's smile at the same time, ok? Today is National Dog Day so if you could please give hugs & kisses to Daisy, Spencer, Baxter, Max, Snickers, Snapples, Ziggy & Friskie for Mom. I miss them all too but I know they are all in good hands with you caring for them. Until tomorrow night.... good night & sweet dreams. I love you.

Wednesday, March 22, 2017
Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is doing fine. I have gotten a lot done today. I did housework....all the dusting & I mean all of it...taking each piece off the shelf as well. There is a lot to dust here as you can see, I did the trash, cleaned the kitchen & bathrooms, colored my hair a dark brown & just took the pups for a walk. Holy smokes it is some cold out there & the winds are just whipping. Princess & Ozzy didn't seem to mind at all as they loved the walk but boy Mom sure did. My face was buried in my jacket....lol. Guess it is supposed to be like this all through the night & tomorrow. The weekend looks better for the weather & I am sure you had something to do with it! Thank you. Mom was so happy when I saw that on my phone this morning. I just got off the phone with Grandpa & Debbie & they are so excited that things changed as well & that they are able to come down now. Meme called Mom this morning & I told her the same thing. She & Bob are also excited. Still haven't heard anything from Aunt Beck but I saw that one of her friends posted that they were in South Carolina yesterday. Not sure if they are on the road today headed to Arizona or if they are still there. I know you are with them so Mom is not worried. Last night when Mark & Mom were eating dinner I happened to look up & outside on our balcony & there were 2 birds...a male & a female Cardinal pecking at my wreath on the door. I watched them for about 15 minutes or so. I tried to get a picture but by the time I thought of it...they flew away & didn't come back. I whispered to you that very moment. Was it you? Were you checking in on Mom? I would like to think so! I sure do hope they come back so I can capture the moment with my camera. That would be amazing! Lastly, if Aunt Beck is reading this I would like to ask a favor..... Mark is in a lot of pain. His left side of his face again. Could you please do some healing work on him? Some for me as well too? Same ole same ole for me....lol. Thank you so much. We love you! Today is a sad day for many.... Mom found out that one of her friends lost his 2 month old son on this very day 17 years ago. No matter the time it never gets easy. His name is Justin Thomas. Mom hopes he knows that he is missed dearly by many & that he is continuing to fly high & free. This morning there was a terrorist attack in London England. Several lost their lives & many, including children were injured. Mom's heart hearts for them all. I said a silent prayer for everyone. This just makes me so sad... I really wish all this violence would just stop. Mom has a few followers in London that read my letters to you & I just want them to all know that I will continue to pray for them during this very difficult time. Many blessings to all. Another one of Moms friends lost their Dad on this day as well. His name is Bob. He was such a sweet man. He was friends with Grandpa & Uncle Dick. They all grew up together. Mom is friends with his 3 daughters. The middle daughter, Veronica has the same birthday as I do. Mom remembers going to his wake & funeral. I was 24 years old & you were just 5 at the time. He passed from cancer. Bob is missed every day of every passing year. May he continue to fly high & free. Another thing that happened a few days ago was that Forrest's Dad passed away. I am not sure if I wrote to you about that or not. Aunt Beck told me as they had to alter their plans as they were going to go see him for a couple days while they were road tripping. Mom sent him an email saying how very sorry I was to hear of his Dad's passing. May he R.I.P. & fly high & free now. So much sadness going around in this world today. I know you see it but Mom is so glad that you are not here to witness it all. I am glad that you are happy & safe. I miss you like crazy, more than words could ever say but you don't need to be in this world full of hate, violence & crime. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. You will forever be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You will live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. That is all the updates I have for you right now. I am sure to have more tomorrow or the next day for you.
Here is your daily prayer for the day: March 22~ The Lord redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned. When I am unfaithful to you, almighty God, when I fail to serve you well, I sometimes feel frustrated with myself & think you feel the same way. But you don't! You simply call me back to yourself, back to the rivers of your redemption. There I can be washed clean & there you can turn the tides of my wayward self-seeking back to seeking your kingdom & your righteousness. Thank you for your tireless, redeeming love, dear Father. I take refuge in you today & always. There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Amen.
Here is day 10 of the inner peace cards: I find harmony in the silence within. Go within to the peaceful solitude of your mind. It is there that you will discover God. Through all the things that have personally happened to Mom throughout her life, I have questioned so many things, so many times as to why things happened the way they did & to the people that they happened to. Through the years though I have come to realize I should not question anything. When I do this I do find more peace & since I lost you I have found & discovered God. It took some time for Mom but I did it & I am very proud of myself. Just like everything else in this world... it takes time.
Well, it is that time of the day where Mom has to get going & start the night routine with prepping dinner & getting the food for the pups. Mom is hoping that you have fun tonight while I sleep. Come be with me & visit Mom if you can. I am sure you will do all the things you need to & want to. I will whisper to you later so be listening for my voice. I will be smiling & hope you will too. I will look to the sky later as well hoping to see one of your beautiful sunset pictures. That will sure make Mom smile big! Until tomorrows letter, good night & sweet dreams my sweet precious son. I love you.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is doing fine. I have gotten a lot done today. I did housework....all the dusting & I mean all of it...taking each piece off the shelf as well. There is a lot to dust here as you can see, I did the trash, cleaned the kitchen & bathrooms, colored my hair a dark brown & just took the pups for a walk. Holy smokes it is some cold out there & the winds are just whipping. Princess & Ozzy didn't seem to mind at all as they loved the walk but boy Mom sure did. My face was buried in my jacket....lol. Guess it is supposed to be like this all through the night & tomorrow. The weekend looks better for the weather & I am sure you had something to do with it! Thank you. Mom was so happy when I saw that on my phone this morning. I just got off the phone with Grandpa & Debbie & they are so excited that things changed as well & that they are able to come down now. Meme called Mom this morning & I told her the same thing. She & Bob are also excited. Still haven't heard anything from Aunt Beck but I saw that one of her friends posted that they were in South Carolina yesterday. Not sure if they are on the road today headed to Arizona or if they are still there. I know you are with them so Mom is not worried. Last night when Mark & Mom were eating dinner I happened to look up & outside on our balcony & there were 2 birds...a male & a female Cardinal pecking at my wreath on the door. I watched them for about 15 minutes or so. I tried to get a picture but by the time I thought of it...they flew away & didn't come back. I whispered to you that very moment. Was it you? Were you checking in on Mom? I would like to think so! I sure do hope they come back so I can capture the moment with my camera. That would be amazing! Lastly, if Aunt Beck is reading this I would like to ask a favor..... Mark is in a lot of pain. His left side of his face again. Could you please do some healing work on him? Some for me as well too? Same ole same ole for me....lol. Thank you so much. We love you! Today is a sad day for many.... Mom found out that one of her friends lost his 2 month old son on this very day 17 years ago. No matter the time it never gets easy. His name is Justin Thomas. Mom hopes he knows that he is missed dearly by many & that he is continuing to fly high & free. This morning there was a terrorist attack in London England. Several lost their lives & many, including children were injured. Mom's heart hearts for them all. I said a silent prayer for everyone. This just makes me so sad... I really wish all this violence would just stop. Mom has a few followers in London that read my letters to you & I just want them to all know that I will continue to pray for them during this very difficult time. Many blessings to all. Another one of Moms friends lost their Dad on this day as well. His name is Bob. He was such a sweet man. He was friends with Grandpa & Uncle Dick. They all grew up together. Mom is friends with his 3 daughters. The middle daughter, Veronica has the same birthday as I do. Mom remembers going to his wake & funeral. I was 24 years old & you were just 5 at the time. He passed from cancer. Bob is missed every day of every passing year. May he continue to fly high & free. Another thing that happened a few days ago was that Forrest's Dad passed away. I am not sure if I wrote to you about that or not. Aunt Beck told me as they had to alter their plans as they were going to go see him for a couple days while they were road tripping. Mom sent him an email saying how very sorry I was to hear of his Dad's passing. May he R.I.P. & fly high & free now. So much sadness going around in this world today. I know you see it but Mom is so glad that you are not here to witness it all. I am glad that you are happy & safe. I miss you like crazy, more than words could ever say but you don't need to be in this world full of hate, violence & crime. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. You will forever be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You will live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. That is all the updates I have for you right now. I am sure to have more tomorrow or the next day for you.
Here is your daily prayer for the day: March 22~ The Lord redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned. When I am unfaithful to you, almighty God, when I fail to serve you well, I sometimes feel frustrated with myself & think you feel the same way. But you don't! You simply call me back to yourself, back to the rivers of your redemption. There I can be washed clean & there you can turn the tides of my wayward self-seeking back to seeking your kingdom & your righteousness. Thank you for your tireless, redeeming love, dear Father. I take refuge in you today & always. There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Amen.
Here is day 10 of the inner peace cards: I find harmony in the silence within. Go within to the peaceful solitude of your mind. It is there that you will discover God. Through all the things that have personally happened to Mom throughout her life, I have questioned so many things, so many times as to why things happened the way they did & to the people that they happened to.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom has had quite the day so far..... today was the scheduled day that Maintenance was stopping by to check sprinkles & set off the fire alarms. Mom was up very early as they were starting this at 9 am. Not knowing which building they were going to be doing I wanted to be ready to go. Mark was home today to help me out so that was good. We left about 10:30 am to go run some errands & we were gone for about an hour. Taking the pups with us was an adventure that is for sure. We didn't want to keep them home as the noise is so loud for us I can't even imagine what it is like for their little ears. When we got back it appeared that our building was finished up so we dodged that at the right time....or so we thought.... Mom & Mark were talking about an hour later & low & behold guess what started to go off....you got it the fire alarm. We gathered up the pups & took them for another walk outside. We were out there for about 30 minutes & when it was safe to come in we gladly came into the building, went up the stairs & found out that the men locked our door....yup we were locked out of our apartment. Ugh.... we had to wait for someone from our office to let us in. Finally after about another hour of chaos we are back in safe & sound. What a morning & afternoon it has been for us...lol! The pups are sleeping soundly & Mom is ready for a nap too! After I write to you I am going to shut my computer off & go lay on the couch & just rest. Later I will get up & get dinner going & feed the pups but I am just really tired right now.
The weather is beautiful for this time of year. It is 50 degrees again & it was sunny. The clouds are starting to come in though now so it is pretty overcast. I know the next couple days will be this way as well. I guess over the weekend we will be getting some rain & possibly snow on Sunday. Hope it passes us again like last weekend. We have a lot out there & it will be awhile before it melts. I think we will see snow until May at least. That is pretty depressing as we will only have 6 months of seeing the grass. Mom will look to the sky tonight to see if I see any stars or the moon. I will whisper to you as I always do so be listening out for me. Let's smile together.
Mom spoke to Grandpa yesterday & Meme today. Everything is fine & well with them. Everyone is anxious to come here this weekend & I am getting excited as well. I miss our family very much. I think we will all have a good time & everything will be fine. Please help us out with the weather so that we don't have snow. Thanks Tyler. I will speak to every one again in the next couple days just to make sure. Next week we are in NH for 4 days. That will be interesting but should be a nice little getaway. Mark was suppose to do a cut over at 1 am on Thursday morning but that was canceled by the client & will be rescheduled at a later date so that was a nice surprise. I am sure it will be done in the 1st couple of weeks in April but that is fine. At least Mark gets the chance to rest up for next weeks cut over which will be a long one. Nothing else is going on. Mom will have more updates for you in the next few days.
Here is your daily pray for the day: March 21~ The Lord is near to the brokenhearted & saves the crused in spirit. In the middle of my pain, loving Father, sometimes there are no words I can bring to you---only groans of anguish, tears of sorrow & the silence of suffering in which I can sense you sitting with me, also silent. But your presence has its own language of communication with mt broken spirit. You don't despise my grief; you share in it with me. Thank you for always being here with me no matter what. Though the sorrow in our hearts causes us to tremble & weep, the lord holds us tightly in his comforting embrace. Amen.
Here is day 9 of the inner peace cards: I go within & get in touch with God. All the great teachers have left us with a similar message: Go within, discover your invisible higher self & know God as the love that is within you.
Mom's going to get going for now as my eyes are so heavy & they want to close. I think I need to go lay down & just relax for a bit before I have to start doing the night routine. I have about 1.5 hours before that needs to start. Mom is hoping that you have a fun night doing all the things you need to & want to. Come be with me if you can. Come visit me in my dreams as well. I miss you more than words can say. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Never forget that you will forever live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Until tomorrows letter.....good night & sweet dreams my sweet precious son. Continue doing great things & learning all you can. Fly high & free like I know you do. Please watch over us all. Thank you.

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Happy 1st day of Spring. The weather today is 50 degrees & sunny. Mom will take it. It is better than the snow we were suppose to get. Mom is suppose to be studying I will when I get done with my letter to you but right now I really can't concentrate. Mom turned on her computer today & saw that a friend of mine lost her Mom this morning from cancer. She passed peacefully in her sleep surrounded by her family. Mom grew up knowing her all my life. Mom lived right next to her parents & across the street from her Grandparents. I knew her husband ( Steve ). We used to play basketball. He passed away from cancer back in 1993. You were just 2 years old. My friend is Valerie & her Mom was Debbie. My heart hurts for the whole family. Mom has such wonderful memories of them all. May Debbie now fly high & free with the Angels above for all Eternity now. Now she can be reunited with her one true love again, Steve.
Mom spoke to Meme really quick last night & this morning. Everyone is doing well. She is already all packed to come here this weekend. I chuckled at that. I think she is ready to get away from there for a couple days. I did not speak to Grandpa but I am sure he will be calling this evening. This week is going to be a rough one as Mom is going to try & be on Mark's work schedule so that the pups will be quiet when he needs to sleep. He has a cut over Thursday morning. It will be a very long day for both of us but we will get through it. I will still write to you but it will be at different hours than I usually do. I haven't heard from Aunt Beck so I am not sure where they are but I know you are watching over them so I know they are both well. I will touch base with them in a couple days as well. We did not even skype with Tubal & Karen last night as we learned that Tubal has been pretty sick. We are not sure what is going on as no details have been given to us but hopefully we will skype with them this coming Sunday. Please watch over them for Mark & Mom as we can't be there in Ohio. Thank you my sweet precious son. I really do appreciate all that you do. It means so much to Mom. That is all I have for updates for you at this time. I am sure to have more as the we get into the week.
Here is your daily prayer for the day: March 20~ But who can detect their errors? Clear me from hidden faults.... [ D ]o not let them have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless & innocent of the great transgression. Father in Heaven! Reawaken conscience in our breast. Make us bend the ear of the spirit to Thy voice, so that we may perceive Thy will for us in its clear purity as it is in heaven, pure of our false worldly wisdom, unstifled by the voice of passion; keep us vigilant. We can become unaware of ( or grow calloused to ) things that have crept into our lives over time---sinful thoughts, attitudes & actions----that work against our relationship with God. That's why self-examination under the direction of God's Spirit can be vitally important to our spiritual growth. Amen.
Here is day 8 of the inner peace cards: I am a divine, precious soul. Once you believe in yourself & see your soul as divine & precious, you will automatically become a being who can create a miracle. Again, here is another card I am sure that is completely true but Mom doesn't know as I have no mastered this...not even close. It is just more that I need to work on. I will get there someday. Guess I am taking the long way around.
Mom needs to get going now so that I can put a couple hours into studying. I hope that your evening will be all that you want & need it to be. Come & visit Mom if you can. I sure would love that. I will whisper to you as I usually do so listen out for my voice. Let's smile at the same time together. Hope you catch all the kisses I blow to you. I miss you so much & I love you more than anything. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are Mom's hero & the wind beneath my wings. You will forever live in my heart, mind, body & soul. Until tomorrows letter.....good night & sweet dreams, Tyler!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Mom is writing to you now instead of later because Mark & I have a skype call with Tubal & Karen tonight & Mom has some things she needs to get done this afternoon before that call happens. Last night Mark's friend Rick got here about 9 pm. We had a very late dinner & chatted with him while watching some TV & the guys had a couple drinks. Mom went to bed around 11 pm & was surprised that I slept in until 9 am. The pups didn't even wake us up at all. Mom made the big breakfast that I said I would for us all. After that I cleaned up all the dishes while the guys visited & then Rick had to get going around 12 noon to Rhode Island. Right now I had to go through all my accounts & change a lot of security things as Mark & Mom's credit card was compromised sometime yesterday & this morning. This has happened before & we are both getting so tired of it....ugh! The company deactivated our card & will be sending us new ones sometime this week. It is such a pain in the butt not to mention the money that these companies stole from us. Hopefully it will all be resolved soon.
As far as updates for you Mom doesn't have any as it is the afternoon & Grandpa is working & so is Debbie. Meme & Bob are home & I will call them in a little bit to just check in on them. Aunt Beck & John should be somewhere South by now in the warm weather.....lucky them. Today for us it is cloudy, very windy & it is suppose to snow later today into the evening. Lucky us...NOT! Mom will have some updates for you possibly tomorrow or the next day. This is a crazy week for Mark with work & it will be crazy for Mom trying to keep up with it all. Our sleep patterns are going to be messed up as well so neither of us are looking forward to it. Let's just get this week over with & get to the weekend again...not to mention the following week we will be gone to NH again! Please watch over us all during this week like I know you always do. Mom thanks you for everything all the time. I hope you hear Mom when I do. I appreciate it so much.
Here is the daily prayer for today: March 19~ For the Lord is righteous, he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face. The promise of being face to face with you one day, dear Lord, is something I hold tightly to in this life of ups & downs. Tight now I must take all that I know about you on faith. There is resting on solid ground, but still I cannot wait for the day when what I have faith in becomes visible. I want to behold the one who fashioned me in my mother's womb, who saved me with his own life & who has cares for me by his great love. I want to see you & embrace you. How I love you! Only faintly now I see Him, with the darkling veil between; but a blessed day is coming when His glory shall be seen. Face to face shall I behold him, Far beyond the starry sky; Face to face in all His glory, I shall see Him by & by. Amen.
Here is Day 7 of the inner peace cards: I love myself----body, mind & soul. When you are at peace with yourself & love yourself it is virtually impossible to be self-destructive. I guess that is a true statement but I can't say for sure as Mom is not there yet. I have never been there & not sure I ever will. I see way too many flaws. I see so many things wrong with myself. I hear what others say about me & I always say that I am nothing special... I am " just me. " Sometimes I like myself & other times I don't. Honestly there are more times that I don't than do. I guess this is something that I really need to work on. Something that needs to change because really it is not alright or ok. I promise I will start to do this for you but also more for myself.
The wind is just crazy. It is whipping outside. I hope that everything will be ok. Mom is going to get going to do all the things I would like to do so I can be done by the time I need to feed the pups & make dinner. I hope that you have a wonderful night doing all the things you would like to do & need to do. have fun while Mom sleeps tonight & come visit me if you can. Be by my side as well. Thank you my sweet precious son. I miss you like crazy & I love you more than words can say. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. You are & always will be my true hero & the wind beneath my wings. I will whisper to you later tonight so smile when you hear Mom & I will smile back to you. Until tomorrows letter....good night & sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
P.S. Today is Auntie Ann's Birthday. Make sure to go sneak by & wish her a good day!

I want to behold the one who fashioned me in my mother's womb, who saved me with his own life & who has cares for me by his great love. I want to see you & embrace you. How I love you! Only faintly now I see Him, with the darkling veil between; but a blessed day is coming when His glory shall be seen. Face to face shall I behold him, Far beyond the starry sky; Face to face in all His glory, I shall see Him by & by. Amen.
Here is Day 7 of the inner peace cards: I love myself----body, mind & soul. When you are at peace with yourself & love yourself it is virtually impossible to be self-destructive. I guess that is a true statement but I can't say for sure as Mom is not there yet. I have never been there & not sure I ever will. I see way too many flaws. I see so many things wrong with myself. I hear what others say about me & I always say that I am nothing special... I am " just me. " Sometimes I like myself & other times I don't. Honestly there are more times that I don't than do. I guess this is something that I really need to work on. Something that needs to change because really it is not alright or ok. I promise I will start to do this for you but also more for myself.
The wind is just crazy. It is whipping outside. I hope that everything will be ok. Mom is going to get going to do all the things I would like to do so I can be done by the time I need to feed the pups & make dinner. I hope that you have a wonderful night doing all the things you would like to do & need to do. have fun while Mom sleeps tonight & come visit me if you can. Be by my side as well. Thank you my sweet precious son. I miss you like crazy & I love you more than words can say. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. You are & always will be my true hero & the wind beneath my wings. I will whisper to you later tonight so smile when you hear Mom & I will smile back to you. Until tomorrows letter....good night & sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
P.S. Today is Auntie Ann's Birthday. Make sure to go sneak by & wish her a good day!

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Saturday evening? Mom has had a really good day today. It is nice to be feeling a little better. I whispered to you to help me out & I know you heard Mom. Thank you so much. Mark & Mom went to the movies today & then went grocery shopping. It was actually a really fun day. I enjoyed myself which lately that is pretty rare. This week will be pretty harsh on Mark & Mom due to his work schedule so I will enjoy all that I can. The weather today was 45 degrees & sunny. Not much wind so it made it pretty tolerable. Guess it is the calm before the storm again as tomorrow we will be getting snow. I am so sick of winter right now. It is the 1st day of Spring coming this week & it sure does not feel like it. The only good thing is that we turned the clocks back & it stays lighter outside at night. The sun does not set until about 7 pm which is wonderful. Not much else has been going on. Mark went for a hair cut this morning while I stayed behind & did some housework & gathered the trash up. We are now waiting for his friend Rick to show up. He will be visiting for the evening & staying over. Its good for Mark to have his friends over. He needs that very much. Rick is a great guy. We get along well too so that makes it nice. Mom will cook them a nice big breakfast in the morning before he heads out. Do you remember the big Sunday brunches we used to have? You loved them so much just as much as I loved making it for everyone. Little things like that I miss so much. I wonder if you miss them as well. Mom spoke to Grandpa last night. Things are good with him & Debbie but I just wish he would slow down as he is working so much. I worry about him & all our family & friends. That is Mom...a worry wart...lol! Next weekend everyone is coming down to visit us & not just for a couple of hours they will all be spending the night again like they did when we went to Florida. Mom has a few things planned for us to do so it will be a fun but busy weekend. I can't wait & two days later Mark & Mom will be headed up to NH again for Mark's client. We will be there for 3 days this time. I am hoping that I get to see a few friends if they come by to the hotel. That would be fun as Mark will be working a lot of the time & I will be with the pups. I plan on going to see you too. I hope the weather is good for that. Seems like every time I am there it is snowing or raining & not nice at all. I think that is all that Mom has for you right now. I am sure to have more tomorrow as we will be home all day. I will let you know in tomorrows letter.
Here is your daily prayer for the day: March 18~ Oh Lord, who may abide in your tent? Who may dwell on your holy hill? Those who walk blamelessly & do what is right & speak the truth from their heart. In the little sin " allowances " I sometimes make myself, loving Father---- allowances to lie or cheat or steal, even in the smallest of ways---- I undermine our fellowship & estrange myself from being at peace with you in your presence. There is nothing in this world that is worth that sacrifice. Please wake me up today to the things I am doing that are not pure & right & true. May your Spirit bring a sense of grief to my heart at the wrong of such things. Then I will confess them & seek to forsake them & be reconciled to you at once. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen. Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom. Amen.
Here is day 6 of the inner peace cards: I live my life in my own way. You can't go around being what everyone wants you to be, living your life through other people's rules & expect to be happy & have inner peace. Oh wow.... this is so true. Everyone has to live their own life in their own way. They don't need permission as long is it makes them happy. What a great card & validation for many to remember.
Well, the sun has finally set, the dogs have been fed now for about 2.5 hours & we are awaiting Rick to show up so we can have a late dinner. Mom is hoping that your night will be filled with fun doing all the things you want to & need to do while I am sleeping. Come be with Mom & visit me in my dreams. Catch all the kisses I blow to you. I will whisper to you as I always do so be listening for my voice. Smile & Mom will too. Remember that I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. I miss you like crazy & you will forever live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Until tomorrow....good night & sweet dreams my sweet precious son.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
PS. Mom noticed tonight that we have some new readers from a couple new countries. That was exciting to see. Thank you all who continue daily to support me in my letters to my son. I miss him beyond words & love him unconditionally. Shout out to United States, France, Germany, Portugal, Poland, Brazil, Monaco, Philippines & the Ukraine. Blessings to each & every one of you.
