Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday evening? Mom has been up since early this morning & I have been on the go since then. Mark & Mom needed to go out & run errands this morning & we wanted to get back in the early afternoon & it worked out just the way we wanted it to. We did our grocery shopping, ran other errands & we were home by 12:45 pm. Mom put everything away & then I jumped right on line to place some orders that I needed to & also paid some bills. Now Mom is writing to you & then I will need to get the pups fed & dinner going for Mark & I. Maybe in a couple hours I can just sit & relax before going to bed. The weekend went by so fast & tomorrow is already Monday again. Mark has another busy week ahead of him & Mom will be jumping back in with her studies. Never a dull moment here!
Not much is new for news or updates for you as the phone has been quite quiet the last couple of days. Mom will give you updates as I get them though. I do have a couple daily prayers to write out to you so here they are. Mom will do one from the week that I missed when I was sick & then do todays as well....bare with me... thanks, Ty!
April 18th~ O sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things. His right hand & his holy arm have gotten him victory. My Lord, I can't begin to count the marvelous things you have done in my life. I look back through the blessings you have provided----timely help, important relationships & wise guidance. There were tough times that prepared me for later challenges. There were joyous surprises that lifted my spirit. Through it all, you have taken good care of me & I appreciate it. Let my life be a " new song " dedicated to you. Sing not lolling at ease or in the indecent posture of sitting, drawling out one word after another, but all standing before God & praising him lustily & with good courage. Amen.
April 19th~ For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone. I don't know much about angels, Lord, but I'm really glad they're around rendering timely help. I don't think I've ever seen one, Lord, which is just as well, because they'd surely scare me silly. I don't want to worship angels, Lord, because they are all just servants like me. But thank you for their help, Lord. The tempter quoted Scripture to Jesus, trying to persuade him to jump off the Temple roof. Jesus replied with another verse, forbidding the testing of God. Don't be foolhardy about playing with danger, just because you trust God to rescue you. Amen.
April 29th~ I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart. Dear God, I'm learning that life is better when I follow your lead. It might not always seem as if that's true. Sometimes I try to test out my own plans but invariably it becomes apparent that you know better. I'm learning to seek your will from the start & not as an afterthought. In all sorts of situations, I'm learning to question my own ( frequently selfish ) motives & to consider what you want. Please be patient with me. I'm learning slowly but I am learning. Our wills are ours, we know not how; Our wills are ours, to make them Thine. Amen.
April 30th~ I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation! O my soul, praise him, for he is thy health & salvation! All ye who hear, now to his temple draw near; Join me in glad adoration! Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him! All that hath life & breath, come now with praises before him! Let the amen sound from his people again; Gladly forever adore him. The whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the deeds of power that they had seen. Amen.
Ok.... so Mom did 2 prayers from the week I didn't write to you & then did the prayer from yesterday & today. I think if I write 2 or 3 for the next 3 letters I will be all caught up! Here is a card from the Inner Peace stack: I am a spiritual being at the core. You are not a human being having a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being having a human experience.
It is that time of night where Mom needs to get going now to start the night routine. Hope that you have a restful & peaceful night doing all the things you would like to & need to. Come be with me if you can. Visit me in my dreams or sit with Mom while I sleep tonight. Thank you my sweet precious son. Have fun as well! Continue to fly high & free. I miss you so & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my everything...my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You live forever in my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom will whisper to you later so be listening out for my voice. Smile & I will too. I will be lighting a candle for you as well. Thanks for another beautiful painting last night. It was gorgeous!
Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter so until then....good night & sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Saturday evening? Mom has had a pretty relaxing day today which is just what Mark & Mom needed. Mom did a few things around the house while Mark studied, Mom chatted on the phone with Meme & then my friend, Christina. It was nice to catch up on things with her since it has been a couple weeks since we chatted. Mark really didn't feel all that great today so we chose to not do anything & go to bed early & get up early Sunday morning to go do everything. It was pretty warm as well.....80+ degrees & muggy. Tomorrow it will only be 50 degrees & sunny so a much better day to go run errands. I believe later tomorrow night we have a skype call with Tubal & Karen. Relaxing day for Saturday & Sunday will be busy but all will be well.
Aunt Beck should be home from her 1.5 month road trip in a couple days so it will be really nice to catch up with her as we have not spoke for 6 weeks. Can't wait to hear all about their travels across the United States. Yesterday afternoon, Mom decided to get off her computer around 3 pm & go watch TV for a bit as my eyes were hurting & I was quite tired....I went on social media about 3 hours later to find out that a friend of mine lost her battle with cancer earlier that afternoon. I knew that she was quite sick & things did not look good but it is never easy to read it. Mom was pretty sad & lost for words. My heart hurt. I have known her my entire life as we grew up together. There were a few years that we did not speak though because of her then husband. I missed her as a friend & always thought of her. I never once blamed her for any of the situation that we had both been in. I knew she was a better person. I wish that I had the opportunity to tell her that while she was still here but somehow I know she knows now as I expressed it out loud to her. I hope she heard Mom. She suffered towards the end & now she is freed of all that pain & she is healed & new again. May Cammy rest in peace now & fly high with all you Angels. She sure deserves it!
Not much else is new, Tyler. Every one is doing well which is a very good thing. Mark & Mom are going to go sit outside on the balcony & enjoy the cool breeze while he smokes a cigar. Thank you for the " painting " last night. The sunset was so beautiful. Mom took pictures of it. I didn't see any stars or the moon but honestly I didn't look. Mom was just in a daze. I lit a candle for you & Cammy. I whispered to both of you so I hope you heard Mom. I will whisper to you again in a little bit too. Smile & Mom will too. Hope that you have a wonderful & fun evening doing all the things you need to & want to. Come visit me in my dreams tonight if you can. Thank you my sweet precious son. I miss you like crazy & 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. You live forever in my heart, mind & soul.
Mom will write the daily prayer to you on tomorrows letter along with an inner peace card. I am on my laptop & not in my office. It is hard to type on this dang thing so Mom apologizes to you for that. I promise you that I will be back Sunday night with a longer letter too but until then....good night & sweet dreams.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet precious son! How are you doing on this Friday morning? Mom is doing alright. Still not at 100% yet but every day I am trying to get better. So many people have what I did last week. I wish it on no one. It is nasty & really hard on the body. This morning I managed to get up & feed the pups & make Mark coffee before he had to leave for the office. Mom also made breakfast & ate it all. I did a couple things around the apartment & took a shower & got ready. That doesn't sound like a lot of things accomplished but it is for Mom right now & I am sure proud of it. I wanted to write to you now while I have the energy as I know that during the day I will start to get tired fast. Mom is even hoping to do a little studying if I can. Let's hope for the best but I seriously am not pushing anything.
The weather today is warm...80 degrees & partly sunny. It is so nice to see something other than rain. It has rained so much here in the last 6 weeks. The weekend is suppose to be cloudy with more rain again so today Mom will be enjoying what little sunshine there is! Hopefully tonight I will get to see a pretty sunset & the stars & moon shining bright....hint, hint...lol!
The last couple of days everyone was here. They all arrived on Wednesday morning around this time...11 am. It was so good to see them. Mom, Meme & Debbie went & had our nails done & went into a couple stores that Meme wanted to do some shopping in. she was happy to find what she wanted. We got back home & had pizza with Mark, Grandpa & Bob for lunch & around 4 pm the guys left for the baseball game. It was raining & so chilly but it was not postponed. Us girls had a nice relaxing night in watching " chick " flicks, drinking wine, & eating Chinese food for dinner. We all went to bed at 9:30 pm. Just nice & such a good time. The guys got home around 11:30 pm & were so happy. We stayed up chatting with them for about an hour & then we all headed to bed. The stories were fun to listen to & everyone had such a great time. Thursday morning everyone was up early except Grandpa, he slept in. Mom made breakfast & had every intention of taking a shower & getting ready but after I ate I didn't feel good at all. It was downhill from there all day. Everyone went out to lunch & Mom stayed in with the pups. I just couldn't go & do it. I felt bad but they all understood. Everyone left around 3 pm yesterday afternoon. Mom cleaned the bathroom, did the laundry, put everything away & put my office all back together again. Sat down for 5 minutes & Mark said I was fast asleep. Woke up at 5 pm & fed the pups & got dinner for Mark & I. Watched TV the rest of the night & I was back in bed at 9:30 pm. Slept last night but not the greatest. Bet I will tonight though!
Mom really doesn't have any updates for you as the past couple weeks have been pretty mellow & quiet. Mark & Mom are headed up to NH in a couple weeks for 4 days to celebrate my Birthday & Mother's Day. I will be making a long visit with you so I hope that the weather turns around as right now it says it is suppose to rain...go figure, right? Mom will keep you updated on things as I know of them. Please continue to be with me & our family. I know you do but I always like to ask. Thank you my sweet precious son. Mom misses you so much. 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. You will forever live in my heart, mind, body & soul. Never not feel this. You are Mom's everything....always.
Mom was looking back in the daily prayer book & it seems that the last time I wrote the daily prayer out was back on Easter.... precisely 11 days ago....wow.... that is a lot of catching up to do so I am not sure if I want to play all that catch up or just do the prayers for the last couple of days & move forward..... I think Mom will do the prayers from the last couple of days from Wednesday until today. Maybe on other letters I will do a couple prayers to play catch up so you don't miss any...they will just be out of sequence for the days. Well here is the prayer for April 26~ Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands & call on your name. Dear Lord, you know I have choices all the time-----what to do, what to say, how to spend my time & where to spend my money. Sometimes I have to choose between good & bad but often the options are what's good & what's better. I have to agree with the psalmist that your love is better than life itself. Everything that I would choose to improve my life, to get ahead in life & to make my life more comfortable or successful or exciting----it all pales in importance when compared to my relationship with you. That's why I praise you, bless you & rely on you for all I need. Blessed be the name of the Lord. The Hebrew word translated " steadfast love " here & throughout the Old Testament ( more than 200 times ) is chesed. Two ideas collide in this word---strength & compassion. It's a deep-felt expression of fierce loyalty. It's a kindness that the person doesn't have to show but wants to. Amen.
April 27~ I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the steadfast love of God forever & ever. I've seen trees, Lord of the universe, that are thick with age, standing tall & strong. Birds nest in their branches. Perhaps children climb on them. These trees provide shelter from the rain & shades from the sun. They beautify the landscape. In all these ways, they provide joy & benefit to everyone in the vicinity. I want to be like that, too. Sometimes I feel like merely a twig but I want to grow strong in you. Build me up, make me strong & let me be a blessing to everyone around me. I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit & that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted & grounded in love. Amen.
April 28~ From your lofty abode you water the mountains; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work. For the beauty of the earth, for the glory of the skies, for the love which from our birth over & around us lies. Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise...... for thyself, best gift divine, to the world so freely given, for that great, great love of thine, peace on earth & joy in heaven, Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise. As for those who in the present age are rich, command them not to be haughty or to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches but rather on God who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Amen.
Well... those are 3 of the 11 I have to write. Mom will do more on tomorrows letter to you. Here is Day 32 of the Inner Peace cards: I release the need to determine how things " should " be. If you are suffering in your life right now, I can guarantee that this condition is tied up with some kind of attachment to how things should be going. So true. Everyone always focuses on what we all should be doing instead of just living in the moment. Since being sick last week I have changed many of things. I realize that everything doesn't always have to get done at the exact time daily. I don't need to rush things or make myself stressed out about what got done to what didn't. I need to just go with the flow. Take it easy & not put so much pressure on myself. " Don't sweat the small stuff! " Guess it took Mom to get that sick to realize all this but I am so glad that I did!
Well, it is now 12 noon here & Mom really needs to get going & try & do some studying for a couple hours. Hope that your evening will be all that you want & need it to be, Tyler. Come be with Mom tonight or visit me in my dreams. Thank you. I will whisper to you later tonight as well so be listening out for my voice. Smile & I will too. I will be back tomorrow night with another letter to you so until then....good night & sweet dreams tonight. I love you with all that I have.....unconditional.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Well, it is now 12 noon here & Mom really needs to get going & try & do some studying for a couple hours. Hope that your evening will be all that you want & need it to be, Tyler. Come be with Mom tonight or visit me in my dreams. Thank you. I will whisper to you later tonight as well so be listening out for my voice. Smile & I will too. I will be back tomorrow night with another letter to you so until then....good night & sweet dreams tonight. I love you with all that I have.....unconditional.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this rainy Wednesday morning? Mom is feeling so much better than last week. I was able to eat all day yesterday without feeling ill. That hasnt happened in over 10 days. Yesterday afternoon I tried to write you a letter but our internet was all screwed up. Mom had to wait until Mark got home to fix it & then after that it was dinner & Mom was completely exhausted. My intentions were there though just wish that everything else worked out. Mom feels guilty when I don't write to you.....I know I shouldn't but I can't help it. I know you don't get mad at me....guess I just get mad at myself.
Today is the day that Meme, Bob, Grandpa & Debbie are coming. They should be here in about 1 hour. The guys will be going to a baseball game later this evening while us girls will have a relaxing night in. It will be nice just to visit while not going anywhere. Mom is going to make them dinner too. Hope they like it....lol. Tomorrow we will take them to lunch before they head home. Mom will see them again a couple weeks when we head up North. Mom just hopes they enjoy their time here. The weather is nasty.....heavy rain & cold. I know you are with us all. Thanks, Ty!
Mom needs to get going so that I am ready for when everyone gets here. Just wanted to tell you that I love you so much & miss you like crazy. Hope your evening is everything you need & want it to be my sweet precious son. Mom will whisper to you later. Smile & I will to. Remember, you are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You live in my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom will be back tomorrow night with another letter. Until then.....good night & sweet dreams later.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom didn't really have a great night of sleep & I am quite tired today but I am trying to hold my own & stay awake so I will be able to sleep tonight! Mom wanted to write to you now so that at least you got a letter this evening. I didn't want another night to go by where I couldn't write to you. All last week it made me so sad that I just couldn't do it. I couldn't get out of bed, let alone stay awake long enough to even get to my computer even if I wanted to. Mom felt so guilty & I know I have no reason to at all because you know & saw all that I went through & still are going through. Like I said last night.... it still continues to be baby turtle steps for me but the steps are in the right direction. Mom is making sure to drink lots of water today & less ginger ale. I know my body needs the water. Meme spoke to Aunt Beck yesterday & I guess they are in Virginia right now & will be home this weekend or next week. I asked Aunt Beck to help me with some healing work as I have been so sick. Meme told her as well too. Mom is very grateful for all the blessings, healing work, prayers, etc... that I can get.
Mom is really so sorry that I really have no updates for you at all. The phones have been super quiet for us. Mark is working a lot as always, pups are the pups.... that is about it. Mom, however did get to talk to Uncle Gregg last night. He called me & we chatted for about an hour or longer. It was good to hear how he was doing. He was telling me that his daughter, his ex-girlfriend & even himself all had what Mom did last week as well. That is a nasty stomach bug that is going around & boy it can go away for good...lol! Mom found some pictures that he wanted of you & him of the wrestling event we all went to. I also found a Stitch keychain of yours that I am going to give him as you both were such big fans of that little character. I know that makes you smile & I am so glad. It makes Mom smile too. Tomorrow, Mom will be alone & will be getting things ready for Grandpa, Debbie, Meme & Bob to be here on Wednesday morning for a couple of days. Hoping the weather holds out for the guys to be able to go to the baseball game Wednesday night though. We are suppose to get rain for the next 3 days again.....lots of rain lately but as the saying goes.... April showers bring May flowers. Mom is hoping to feel up to par to take Meme & Debbie out for a bit & then stay in during the evening so we can watch all the pups & just hang out for a " down " night while the guys are gone. It doesn't sound like much but it will be fun & nice to just chill back & relax. We are the ones that are always on the go when they are here. Mom hopes that Bob will be feeling better too. Guess things are pretty shaky will him again. I know you watch over us all & it means so much. Please continue to my sweet precious son. Thank you.
The evening sun will be setting early tonight I believe as the clouds are rolling in. Guess there will be no sunset or stars & moon shining in the sky tonight either. It's ok.... Mom will whisper to you as I always do each night. Be listening out for my voice & smile for Mom & I will do the same. Mom is hoping that tomorrow will be a better day for me so that I am able to get to my office & do some school work & catching up on all these prayers & inner peace cards that I need to do. Mom was hoping to do some catch up today but that is not going to happen. I am so sorry. It is now that time of the evening where Mom needs to be thinking of dinner & feeding the pups. Mom usually does this on her own but Mark has been helping me quite a bit the last few nights which is a great change! Mom hopes you come visit me in my dreams tonight while I get some much needed sleep. Hope that you have fun doing all the things you need to & want to do. Mom misses you so much, Tyler & you are my hero...my wind beneath my wings. You will forever live in my heart, mind, body & soul. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. I will be back tomorrow night with another letter to you. Until then.....good night & sweet dreams.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Mom is just so so sorry for not writing you a regular letter for the last 6 nights. You have seen just what I have been up to & how sick I have been. Mom has not been this way in many many years. I am still not feeling the best but I at least wanted to write you a short letter. Mom gets pretty tired fast & when I move around I get dizzy. I know that has to do with not eating for 5 days. I am doing my best daily. I am sure that in a few days I will be getting back to normal. Please continue to be with Mom as I get through all this. Whatever it was...stomach bug or food poisoning.... I want it never again! It just is so awful. Mom wishes it on no one....ever!
As you can tell.... Mom whispered to you every night so I hope you heard my voice. I whispered to you a lot this last week. Mark was wonderful for the most part by taking care of Mom when he was not working. I was very thankful for that. The pups were really good for us as well so every little bit helped me greatly. Lots of family & friends have been checking on me all week. Makes me feel so loved by so many. I made sure to thank them all for being so kind. Not much else is going on though. Mom will hopefully get back on her feet in a couple days & have more updates for you & regular letters again. Mom will keep you posted though.
I am getting kind of tired right now so I am going to close. Hope that you have a wonderful night my sweet precious son. Come be with me & visit me in my dreams. I will hopefully sleep well again & be ready to go at it tomorrow, which is Monday. Mom has lots of catching up to do with daily prayers & the inner peace cards but I will slowly get there. Promise you that! Always know you are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You live in my heart, mind, body & soul. I miss you so much....more than words can say & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Mom will whisper to you as I always do tonight again so be listening for me. Smile & I will too. Mom will be back tomorrow again for another letter but until then..... good night & sweet dreams, Tyler!

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom sure knows it is definitely a Monday! I am so frustrated with this college course I am taking. I was on a roll today & than ...BAM.... it all went downhill from there. I guess I need to get on the phone tomorrow & contact my instructor on this but I doubt she will help me because it is for my exam....ugh! Mom even asked Mark & he doesn't even know what to do & he is a computer guy. I will be so glad when I can say this class is over with. It is so stressing me out! Other than school, Mom took the pups for a nice walk this afternoon. Mark has been working all day. He started to have what looked like a " light " week but everyone sees that & is scheduling him everywhere now. He has not had any kind of break in 9 weeks or longer. I hope he gets one soon because he is really stressed to the max & he is not taking care of himself. Mom has tried to talk to him about this but it doesn't help. I always come off like I am " nagging " instead of being concerned. I have realized Mark is an adult & he will take care of himself when he wants to & if he doesn't then he doesn't. Mom can't stress over it all either as it is not good for me. See, Tyler.... Mom can still learn...lol!
Meme called today on her break. She is really concerned about Bob & the way he is acting. I guess he has a doctors appointment coming up & it may be that he has a few procedures coming up. Mom is hoping & praying that everything will be ok. Debbie was driving to the store yesterday before she went to work & she thought that someone threw a rock & it smashed her windshield but after speaking to the police it was a branch that did it & it was caused by a tree that fell. Her & Grandpa went today to get quotes on when & how much it was going to cost to get it fixed. She was lucky that she did not get hurt. Marion & Charlie will be here tomorrow evening for the night & heading back Wednesday afternoon. They are flying back from Las Vegas & didn't want to drive the 3 hours to get home so they asked if they could stay here. Of course Mom said yes. I am anxious to see how they liked it there. Mom had fun when she went 4 years ago. Mark & Mom are hoping to go back again before the end of the year or beginning of next year! I will keep you posted on that! Everyone & everything else is about the same as it was since yesterday so Mom will have more updates for you in the next couple days.
Here is the daily prayer for today: April 17~ Happy are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O lord, in the light of your countenance; they exult in your name all day long & extol your righteousness. God of joy, you fill my heart with good things. You bestow your loving smile upon me & satisfy my longings. Life is full of blessings when I live each day in your presence. Thank you for the joy you bring to me. Help me share that joy with others. Jesus told several stories about banquets & was a regular guest at dinner parties, much to the chargin of his critics. Yet even the Old Testament is full of such celebrations. The psalmist's " festal shout " is the happy cry of people celebrating the Lord's goodness. Amen.
Here is Day 32 of the Inner Peace cards: I am a human being, not a human doing. Don't equate your self-worth with how well you do things in life. You aren't what you do. If you are what you do, then when you don't.... you aren't.
This once again is the part of the day that Mom needs to get going & start cooking dinner & getting the pups set. I will whisper to you later tonight so be listening out for my voice. Smile & Mom will do the same. Hope there is a nice sunset to see as well. Not sure if I will see the stars & moon though as it is clouding up. The next couple days are suppose to rain. Mom is hoping that you have a peaceful night doing all the things you need to & want to tonight. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Mom would love that. Thank you my sweet precious son. Mom misses you so much & loves you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You will always be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You will forever live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Always feel that in your soul. That is important to Mom.
I will be back tomorrow night with another letter but until then.... good night & sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Happy Easter to you in Heaven again this year. It is the 5th one without you & Mom is having a hard time with it today. The weather here is 85 degrees & sunny. Mom was sitting on the balcony enjoying it all but came in because I was at the point where I could not stand to listen to the children playing & being so happy that the Easter Bunny came. It just brought back way to much for Mom. I received a message today that my friend, Gary went to see you today & he brushed away the branches & twigs for Mom. I thought that was so sweet. I teared up on that one. I asked him why he did that & he said he was thinking of Mom. I bet that made you smile, huh? As hard as it was it made me smile.
Today has been a pretty mellow day for Mark & Mom. I got surprised with 2 dozen long stem roses. They are so pretty. Yellow/ Peach/ Red...just breathtaking. I wasn't expecting them at all so that was so nice. This morning Mom did laundry, vacuumed, gave Princess & Ozzy baths, got ready myself & now I am cooking our dinner. It sounds like a lot but really it only took Mom about 2 hours to do everything. I have been on the phone more than anything calling around & chatting with everyone & wishing them a Happy Easter... lets see... Meme, Grandpa, Debbie, Aunt Donna, Uncle Kenny, Uncle Chris, Gary, Johnny, Aunt Shirley & then I texted Aunt Beck, Marion & Charlie. Mark called his Dad, Karen, Gary, Sarah, Ellis, Stacey, Dave, Rick, Bonnie & Joe. We think we covered everyone that is for sure. others we wished a Happy Easter over facebook as there is just too many to do individually.
As far as updates go...Aunt Beck is in Colorado where it is windy & 37 degrees today. Meme & Bob are home as he is not feeling well. Debbie is heading to work for the night, Grandpa is hopefully relaxing this afternoon. I will touch base with him tonight. Haven't heard from Brandy but don't expect to but I am sure she is cooking today for everyone. Think that is it for now. Everyone is fine & happy....just busy in their every day life.
Mom wonders what you are doing today? Is there a big celebration in Heaven or do you not celebrate it? I wonder things like this all the time. Wish you could answer Mom & tell me so I would know. I guess I will just imagine that you do. Eat some peeps as they are one of your favorites! I guess I will write the daily prayer to you now.... April 16~ Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them & give thanks to the Lord. Glorious Lord, I come before you to worship. I don't take this privilege lightly. I imagine the ancient Israelites climbing the steep streets of Jerusalem toward the Temple & entering through those beautiful gates. I imagine the priests entering the Holy Place with the sacred incense & holy bread & the high priest venturing into the Holy of Holies. Coming into your presence is a sacred trust. But I don't have to climb a hill; I can kneel in my home. You have already opened the gates to your presence & you invite me to enter whenever I will. So, here I am to worship. You are my great God. I thank you & I love you. Therefore, I urge you, brothers & sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy & pleasing to God---this is your true & proper act of worship. Amen.
Here is day 31 of the Inner Peace cards: My inner being is serene & peaceful. Happiness, fulfillment & purpose in life are all inner concepts. If you don't have inner peace & serenity, then you have nothing.
Mom needs to get going for now my sweet precious son. I have to finish getting our dinner going so we can eat at a descent time...lol. Mom hopes that your night will be all that you need & want it to be. Come visit Mom in my dreams if you can. Remember you are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You are forever in my heart, mind, body & soul. I will whisper to you later so smile when you hear Mom. I will smile too. when you see the candle burning tonight... know it is for you. I miss you & love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Mom will be back tomorrow night so until then....good night & sweet dreams. Happy Easter, Tyler.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

But I don't have to climb a hill; I can kneel in my home. You have already opened the gates to your presence & you invite me to enter whenever I will. So, here I am to worship. You are my great God. I thank you & I love you. Therefore, I urge you, brothers & sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy & pleasing to God---this is your true & proper act of worship. Amen.
Here is day 31 of the Inner Peace cards: My inner being is serene & peaceful. Happiness, fulfillment & purpose in life are all inner concepts. If you don't have inner peace & serenity, then you have nothing.
Mom needs to get going for now my sweet precious son. I have to finish getting our dinner going so we can eat at a descent time...lol. Mom hopes that your night will be all that you need & want it to be. Come visit Mom in my dreams if you can. Remember you are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You are forever in my heart, mind, body & soul. I will whisper to you later so smile when you hear Mom. I will smile too. when you see the candle burning tonight... know it is for you. I miss you & love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Mom will be back tomorrow night so until then....good night & sweet dreams. Happy Easter, Tyler.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Saturday afternoon? Mom is so sorry for the short letter last night but I was totally out of it. Thursday night into Friday morning Mom only got about 4 hours of sleep. I went to bed last night at 9 pm not thinking that I would fall right to sleep but I did. Both Mark & Mom slept until 9 am this morning. I was shocked as I never do that. I guess Mom needed the rest. Mark did too seeings how he was awake & working for 21 hours straight. We both are feeling better this morning though. Mom got right up & got the pups fed, made coffee, got ready & headed out the door to run errands, grocery shop & also to get Mark's hair cut. It was really busy out there today as tomorrow is Easter. Just another day for us here though. Mom will cook a ham dinner for us tomorrow night but that is it. Nothing fancy at all as it will just be the 2 of us this year. Last year everyone came down & Mom made a huge meal. It was the 1st time that everyone got to see our place. It was nice. I sure will miss everyone but they will all be down here next week for a couple of days. Mark is taking Grandpa & Bob to a Red Sox/ Yankees game & Mom is going to be with Meme & Debbie doing the girl thing. It will be nice to see them again. I wish I could see you though. In a couple of months it will be 4 years since you passed away. It is still so hard for Mom every day but I try my best to get through it. I think I do pretty good but there are those days that I just can't even try to pretend. I miss you so much. I bought our favorite Easter candy today... the Reese peanut butter eggs & the Peeps. Mom will make sure to eat a couple with a smile on my face remembering all the times we used to eat them together! I hope you smile when you see Mom.
The phone has been pretty quiet today but we haven't been home either. We just got done taking the pups for a nice long walk as it is so nice outside. The temp is 67 degrees & sunny. The wind is picking up now like they said it would & it is suppose to rain later tonight but tomorrow it is going to be 80 degrees. We are headed to the ocean for a bit in the morning. It will get pretty busy there later in the day after everyone does their Easter thing, Church, etc.... We will go before all that happens. Mom probably will either chat with Grandpa & Meme later tonight but if not definitely tomorrow for sure. I will fill you in on everything when I know of things. Mom's friend is in the last stages of her cancer. She is in Hospice now & it is so sad. Her cancer came back more aggressive this time & metastasized to her lungs & brain. The doctors are giving her about a week. She is a fighter though & I pray for her every day & I will continue to pray. Remember my friend that has the 15 year old son? He was diagnosed with bone cancer & had a knee replacement done back in December? Well this Wednesday he will be having that very same knee amputated from above the knee. My heart breaks for him. I will be chatting with his Mom as soon as I can. I pray for all of them as well. His Mom is sick too...very sick. Mom will keep you posted on things.
Here are the daily prayers that I need to catch up on for you: April 14~ Singers & dancers alike say, " All my springs are in you. " Dear Lord, the psalmist spoke about springs of water & maybe the idea was that creativity of these artists was springing up from the depths of their relationships with you. That makes me think about the ways I display my own creativity & how it all originates with you. But it;s also fun to imagine dancers " springing " & " leaping " with divine joy. Do I have an extra " spring in my step " because I know you? I also find myself in the season of spring, with new life sprouting all around me. Every day with you is like springtime, full of life & growth, Lord, in ways I celebrate you, singing with the psalmist, " All my springs are in you. " Those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life. Amen.
April 15~ Better is a little that the righteous person has than the abundance of many wicked. Everyone's talking about the tax deadline, Lord & I'm hearing a lot of gripes. People are feeling poor as they count up their earnings & figure out what they owe. But I ant to focus today on my true wealth. This can't be measured in dollars & cents but rather in love & grace. You, Lord, have showered abundant blessings upon me. Just to know you is a great reward & I am grateful. There are many people in this world who are rolling in dough but are far from you. You keep reminding me that I am better off than they are. Thank you, Lord. There is great gain in godliness combined with contentment.....Nut those who want to be rich fall into temptation & are trapped by many senseless & harmful desires that plunge people into ruin & destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Amen.
All caught up with them so now I have Day 29 & Day 30 of the Inner Peace cards:
I am responsible for the day I create for myself. The choice is up to you. It can either be " Good morning, God! " or " Good God- morning! "
I align myself with people who support my growth. If you meet someone whose soul is not aligned with yours, send them love & move along.
Mom is all caught up with these as well...phew....lol! It is again that time of the night where Mom has to get going & start dinner & feed the pups. Hope you have a fun evening doing everything you want to & need to my sweet precious son. Come be with Mom or visit me in my dreams tonight. I sure would love that. Remember you are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You are forever in my heart, mind, body & soul. Listen out for me when I whisper to you later tonight. Hope I get to see the stars & moon shining bright. I will be back tomorrow night with another letter to you so until then.....good night & sweet dreams. I love you more than all the stars in the sky. To the moon & back & all the way around the world.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this Friday evening? Mom is not feeling the greatest tonight so I am not going to write you a long letter. I think I need to go cuddle in a blanket & just rest for the night. I wanted to stop by at least to tell you that I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back& all the way around the world.
Mom hopes that your evening is all that you want & need it to be. Have fun tonight while Mom is sleeping. Come visit me in my dreams tonight if you can. I will write you a longer letter tomorrow with the daily prayers & inner peace cards....I promise. Remember that you are forever in my heart, mind, body & soul. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Mom will whisper to you as I always do so be sure to listen for my voice later. Smile & I will too. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter. Until then.....good night & sweet dreams my sweet precious son.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday evening? I am so sorry that you have had to witness what has been going on here for the past 2 hours. Mom really is in no mood to write you a letter...not because I don't want to but because my head is hurting & my mind is in so many different directions right now. Mom apologizes about feeling this way. I am not sure what to do but I need to be thinking about it & fast. I am not going to tolerate anymore of this bullsh*t but I need to have a plan in place. Again, I know that you see Mom & you can feel what I am feeling but please know that I will be ok. I always am. Just do me a favor, Ty? Be with Mom tonight. I need you to be by my side. I need you more than ever right now! Thank you.
Mom had the chance to speak to Meme earlier today & she told me that Bob had an appointment with his doctors. It was not the best visit that is for sure. That made Mom very sad to hear all that I did. As you know, I just got off the phone with her again. She is really upset with everything that is going on here. I told her not to worry as well but I know she will as she is a Mom & that is what Moms do. I didn't talk to anyone else today & I know I won't this evening so I guess I will have to give you any updates that I might have over the weekend. Mom had a quiet day... I did laundry & housework, took the pups for a walk & then studied. I just finished that up around 5 pm. It has been a long day & I know it is going to be an even longer evening. The sun will be setting really soon & I hope to see a pretty sunset. There are few clouds in the sky so I should be able to see some stars & maybe the moon later as well. Mom will whisper to you as I always do so be listening out for me. I know you will smile & trust me I will try to as well. I miss you so much. I love you more than words can ever say. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. You are & always will be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Please feel it & know that you will forever live in my heart, mind, body & soul.
Here is your daily prayer for the day: April 13~ God is our refuge & strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change. It's hard to keep up with earth's changes, dear Lord. Maybe the psalmist was thinking about storms & seasons but I'm dealing with technology, social trends & the environment. Things are spinning so quickly that I find myself growing fearful at times. But I cling to this promise & I cling to you. You are, indeed, " very present. " No matter what's happening in the world, you are with me, beside me, & inside me. I treasure your companionship. Please calm my fears & embolden me to meet the challenges of life with your love & power. Look for God & he will find you. Amen.
Here is Day 28 of the Inner Peace cards: I learn from both positive & negative experiences. Your joy is divine & so is your suffering. There's so much to be learned from both. They are both life lessons that need to be experienced so that you become the person you are supposed to be. As I used to tell you all the time, Tyler..... everything happens for a reason. We may not understand why until days, months, years from when these things happen but eventually you do get the answers. I know you know this. If is always said....one should never question things..... Mom needs to learn this more!
Well, the night is almost upon us & I have already fed the pups for the evening. They are settled & laying down right now. I am going to shut my computer off & go relax on the couch for a bit. I am sure I will turn in early tonight. Again, please be with Mom tonight. I need you. Thank you my sweet precious son. Mom hopes you have a nice evening doing all the things you want to do & need to do. I will write to you again tomorrow. Until then.... good night & sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
