Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom has had quite the busy day today for sure. I had to get up early so that Mark could take his truck to the mechanics to find what is going wrong with it now, then we got back home Mom decided that I had some energy & it was not raining so I gathered up all the cardboard that was in the garage & took it to the dumpster. That was 3 trips back & forth. Mark kept saying he would do it but after 3 weeks or longer I was sick of looking at it so I just did it. When I finished all that I swept out the garage & then finally came upstairs. I made breakfast for Mark & I as he was on a conference call, did those dishes & then decided to go into my office & pay some bills on line & then make Ozzy's vet appointment. The rest of the day has been Mom studying & reading a full chapter in her book. I have the last chapter to read tomorrow, then Exam 6 will have to be done & then it is the Final Exam for the whole course. I will be happy when this is all over with. I am seeing the light at the end of this tunnel......FINALLY!! I am looking forward to my next course whatever that may be. Mom is trying to stay off social media & the phones during the day so that I can really focus on this. So far so good. I really am not on Facebook that much any more. In the morning for a brief bit & then at night as well. I have cleaned my page up & have deleted several things on there. I don't ever talk to anyone anymore so I really am not missing a lot. No one calls me on the phone that much either during the day time....maybe Meme or Aunt Beck. Friends are not calling & quite frankly I am tired of always being the one to call them so I have stopped that as well. Friendship is a 2 way street, not a 1 way street & I have noticed that Mom is always the one making the 1st moves & I have decided " no more. " Many changes are taking place & I am completely OK with them all. Change is good & change happens for a reason. I no longer question it as sometimes the answers are not needed they just need to be trusted by a higher power. Mom really wants a drama free, less stress & more happiness in her life. I think I am finally on the road to that now. Baby steps but I am doing it. I am sure you are smiling & saying " Go Mom! " I know you are with me every step of the way & for that i am so grateful for that. Mom needs you by her side. I always will. I miss you so much my sweet precious son. I miss the advice that you would give me, the conversations we would have, the laughing we would do. I miss you smile, your voice, your sweet face. Mom looks at your pictures all the time throughout the day & night & I smile every time....even through tears. Tomorrow is June 1 & in a few short days it will be 4 years since I have gotten to see your face. Mom has such a hard time with this month. Please be with me during these trying times. Help me feel better about them instead of despising them. Thank you, Tyler.
Last night Grandpa called me as I thought he would. We didn't really talk for very long as Mark was not feeling well & Mom was taking care of him but also because where Grandpa was they were getting a good thunder & lightning storm. He doesn't like being on his phone when that is going on & I don't blame him. Both him & Debbie are doing well. Great Grammy is too. They are just staying busy with working. They will be coming here for a visit in July for a few days. Meme & Bob will be coming as well. Hope Bob will be up for it. Mom hopes he will be feeling better by then. My fingers are crossed for sure. Mark & Mom will be taking them into Downtown Boston to go check out everything & the we will have a BBQ a couple of nights. It will be really fun. Mom is looking forward to it. That is all the updates I have for you today. Not much but more then the last few days. I am sure more will come as we enter the weekend.
Mom needs to be thinking of what to have for dinner tonight & go prep it plus it will be time to feed the pups. I also need to take them out for their walk as I didn't do that this morning. Never a dull moment & never seems like enough time to do all the things I want to do. I am behind in the time right now because of the studying. There just was not a good place to stop so I did it until the chapter was over.
Mom hopes that you have a fun night while I sleep. May you get to do all that you need to do & want to do. Visit Mom in my dreams if you can. I will be waiting. The clouds seem to be parting so maybe just maybe I will see a moon & stars shining bright in the sky tonight. Maybe even a " painting " from you??? Remember that you are forever in my heart, mind, body & soul. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world.
Before I close here is a pray for you: Father God, I don't know who or what will cross my path today, but I do know you are my rock & my Fortress. You are my shield & my strong tower. Help me to anchor myself in You & to be strengthened along the way. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
Here is a thought for the day: I've seen miracles just happen, prayers get answered & broken hearts become new because that is what faith can do. Amen!
Until tomorrow nights letter to you, Tyler. Good night & sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom has had a pretty good day so far. I was up early, made coffee for Mark, got his lunch ready as he went to his office today, fed the pups, relaxed for a bit & then made myself breakfast & made a macaroni tuna salad to go with dinner tonight, did all those dishes, got ready & then started to do my Exam 5 in my college class. It took Mom about 2 hours to complete it. I was pretty impressed by it. I had fun. I really thought I would dread powerpoints but come to find out I really like doing them. Mom was printing everything off so I could send it to my college & I ran out of ink....go figure...lol! Oh well, after dinner we will go to the store to pick up ink so I can finish it off & send it in. I will be reading my last 2 chapters & then it will be my final exam. I will be finished with this class & able to get rolling on the others & hopefully I will be making up some time with it all. I am determined to stay focused so that I can graduate soon. Coming in the Fall Mom will be busy with a few more things so I need to do all that I can now. I know you are watching over me every step of the way & I sure to appreciate it so much. You were so good with computers so you guiding Mom is just what I need. The last Exam that I did have 15 parts to it. I really thought I failed it...BAD but I ended up getting a 93%. I was so surprised. Mom thought that was pretty awesome! Anyways....
The last few days have been very quiet with the phone not ringing & not talking with anyone. Meme called me today to say hello. She was on her lunch break. She was saying that they relaxed over the weekend & really didn't do too much as Bob is not feeling good at all. He is sleeping a lot of the time but he says he is not sleeping at all & he is so short of breath. Meme is pretty worried & so is Mom. June 14th he goes for a consult with the doctors. I really hope they see just how bad he is & they do something about it then & not make him wait any longer. You know of all people just how it feels when you can't breath right. It makes me sad that the hospital is doing this to him. Ty, please continue to watch over Bob for us all. Thank you. Watch over Meme as well so that she has the strength to continue helping all that she can. Thank you again. Nothing else is really new. I will try to touch base with Aunt Beck tomorrow to see what is shaking in her world. I am sure to hear from Grandpa tonight. Nothing on Bean as of yet so I am sure she is just working & trying to figure things out as she goes. I know you are watching over us all. Mom has no doubt in her mind that you are with us every step of the way in our daily lives. Knowing that makes me happy. Mom feels safe because of you, my sweet precious son. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. You will forever live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. You are Mom's hero & the wind beneath my wings.
The weather today was crappy again. The clouds were thick & no blue skies at all. It looks like it is about to rain....surprise surprise...ugh. Mom hopes that the weather starts getting better. It is going into the month of June & we still have our heat on. The temps are cold... high 40's & low 50's. This is just nuts for this time of year. Mom is hoping for sunny days, warm weather, stars & the moon shining bright & pretty paintings from you at night. Hopefully soon. Mom will whisper to you as I always do each night so be listening for my voice. Let's smile together when you hear me. You will see Mom's & I will close my eyes & picture your sweet smile that I miss so very much.
The night sky will be here again many hours before it is supposed to be. Mom needs to get going now so that I can take the pups for a walk, feed them & then get dinner going for Mark & I. Before I close for the night here is a prayer for you today:
Father God, whoever is reading this right now, I pray that they know in the deepest part of their heart that whatever they are going through right now, It's truly going to be alright. Let it be so. In Jesus' name, Amen!
Thought for the day: Keep holding on, don't ever give up. Stay in Faith, God has a blessing designed especially for you. Amen.
Mom needs to close now but I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Hope your evening is all that you need & want it to be. Come visit if you can. Have fun while Mom sleeps tonight. I miss you, Tyler. More than words can say. Until tomorrow....good night & sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Today is Memorial Day ( May 29th ) It is a day to remember all the Military Men & Women that fought for us so that we could & can continue to have our freedom. Mom found a great quote for this very day.... it says: We don't know all of them, but we owe them all. " So true. We had many family members that fought for our Country that have since passed & many that are still living today. Every single one of them are heros in my book! God Bless them all!
The weather today is so cold & rainy. The temp is only 49 degrees & the rain is coming down sideways. Mark & Mom took the pups out for a walk in it & boy I caught a chill that I can not shake. Mom was up early this morning ( 6:15 am ) & couldn't get back to sleep. I am kind of tired right now so that is why I am writing to you at this time so that I can shut my computer off & go on the couch & relax afterwards. Mom has many things she could be doing right now but I will wait to do them tomorrow. I did however dust & help Mark move his office all around today. That was a chore in itself but it looks great now! Think tonight will be an early night for us seeings how the long weekend is over & it will be back to work for Mark & back to studying for Mom. I have Exam 5 tomorrow to do so that will take me a bit to do but I am pretty confident that I will do well.
Last night I was able to catch a small sunset. Very tiny one but it was pretty. It was pastel orange with a little bit of pink. I smiled & whispered to you when I saw it. Hope you heard Mom. I will whisper to you again tonight so smile again when you hear me & I will do the same. I know there will be no sunset or stars in the sky. It is just gray & cloudy & nasty out. That is ok because I know you are shining bright for someone in this world who needs it. That makes me so proud. It makes me smile my sweet precious son. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are Mom's hero & the wind beneath my wings. Always remember you are living inside my heart, mind, body & soul.
No new updates for you as the phones have been so quiet for the last 4 days. Strange for our family but I am sure everyone is just catching up on things they need to do & relaxing as well....just like Mom & Mark have been doing. I am sure there will be some during the week. I will write them to you as I know. Here is a prayer for you today: " Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought & never fails to bear fruit. " Amen.
Here is a thought for the day as well: We all make mistakes. For if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect & could also control ourselves in every other way.
It is only the afternoon right now but boy is it pretty dark outside. Sometime tells me that the night sky will be upon us way before it should this evening. Mom hopes that you have a fun evening tonight while I sleep. May you get to do all the things you need to & want to. Come visit me in my dreams when you can. I love it. Thank you!
Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then. Good night & sweet dreams later. I miss you so much, Tyler. I love you.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday evening? Mom is sorry that I did not write to you last night but during the day Mark & Mom ran around doing errands & about 15 minutes after we got home Mark's friend showed up, Mom put groceries away & started to prep dinner for the evening. I think Mom sat down at 8 pm & I was in bed by 10 pm with a swollen ankle. Guess I twisted it at some point during the day. Today, Mom was up at 8 am & made breakfast for the guys & then did all the dishes & clean up. After that I got ready & took the pups for their usual walk. After that Mom has been basically sitting down & watching TV as my ankle is still pretty sore. This is the 1st time in 2 days that my computer has been on at all. Mark's friend left about 4 pm. Rick is a good guy. We had a good time with him just laughing & joking around. The guys played a video game for a bit while Mom was relaxing so it all worked out. In about an hour we have our skype call with Tubal & Karen so that will be nice. Tomorrow is Memorial Day so Mark is off from work & Mom won't be doing any schooling either. It should be a relaxing day as well because it is going to be rainy once again but the rest of the week will be sunny so that will be nice. Mom is really looking forward to that for sure. Everything else is about the same. No new updates for you as the phones have been quite quiet over the weekend. I am sure that everyone is just enjoying their long holiday weekend & relaxing which is exactly what everyone should be doing along with thanking every Military person & Veteran for letting us relax....because if it was not for them we wouldn't be! I am sure that Mom will have some kind of updates for you during the week when I do get the chance to chat with our family & friends. Mom has been doing a lot of thinking & has made some decisions to help better myself. I am pretty happy & content with every choice so far. I am going to focus hard on my school so that I can graduate soon. I am staying off social media more as I am just tired of the drama & all the BS that goes with it. I don't really talk to anyone on my Facebook as it is anymore. Some " friends " just hurt me & really Mom does not need that. I have many positive things going on right now that I don't need the negatives. I am proud of myself & I know you are too. That is all that matters to me.
The night sky will be upon us faster this evening as the clouds are rolling in. Mom will not be seeing any stars or the moon shining bright tonight let alone a " painting " from you but I do look forward to them in the next coming nights so get your paint brushes ready, Ty... Mom will be looking for them! I hope that your night will be fun with doing all the things you need to & want to do. Come visit Mom if you get the chance. I would love to see you & see how you are doing. Thank you my sweet precious son. I will whisper to you as I always do so be listening out for my voice. I will smile & I hope you will too. Remember you are Mom's hero 7 the wind beneath my wings. You live forever in my heart, mind, body & soul. I miss you more than all the stars in the sky & more than words could say. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Before I close my letter to you let me write a daily prayer to you. Here it is: " Don't be afraid, because I have saved you. I have called you by name & you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. When you cross rivers, you will not drown. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned, nor will the flames hurt you. Because you are precious to me, because I give you honor & love you. I will give other people in your place; I will give other nations to save your life. " Amen.
Here is a thought for the day: Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable----if anything is excellent or praiseworthy----think about such things.
Mom needs to get going as our scheduled skype call is about to start in a few minutes. I will be back tomorrow evening with another letter to you. Continue to fly high & free, Tyler. Please watch over us all. Thank you. Good night & sweet dreams. I love you.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

I am sure that everyone is just enjoying their long holiday weekend & relaxing which is exactly what everyone should be doing along with thanking every Military person & Veteran for letting us relax....because if it was not for them we wouldn't be! I am sure that Mom will have some kind of updates for you during the week when I do get the chance to chat with our family & friends. Mom has been doing a lot of thinking & has made some decisions to help better myself. I am pretty happy & content with every choice so far. I am going to focus hard on my school so that I can graduate soon. I am staying off social media more as I am just tired of the drama & all the BS that goes with it. I don't really talk to anyone on my Facebook as it is anymore. Some " friends " just hurt me & really Mom does not need that. I have many positive things going on right now that I don't need the negatives. I am proud of myself & I know you are too. That is all that matters to me.
The night sky will be upon us faster this evening as the clouds are rolling in. Mom will not be seeing any stars or the moon shining bright tonight let alone a " painting " from you but I do look forward to them in the next coming nights so get your paint brushes ready, Ty... Mom will be looking for them! I hope that your night will be fun with doing all the things you need to & want to do. Come visit Mom if you get the chance. I would love to see you & see how you are doing. Thank you my sweet precious son. I will whisper to you as I always do so be listening out for my voice. I will smile & I hope you will too. Remember you are Mom's hero 7 the wind beneath my wings. You live forever in my heart, mind, body & soul. I miss you more than all the stars in the sky & more than words could say. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Before I close my letter to you let me write a daily prayer to you. Here it is: " Don't be afraid, because I have saved you. I have called you by name & you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. When you cross rivers, you will not drown. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned, nor will the flames hurt you. Because you are precious to me, because I give you honor & love you. I will give other people in your place; I will give other nations to save your life. " Amen.
Here is a thought for the day: Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable----if anything is excellent or praiseworthy----think about such things.
Mom needs to get going as our scheduled skype call is about to start in a few minutes. I will be back tomorrow evening with another letter to you. Continue to fly high & free, Tyler. Please watch over us all. Thank you. Good night & sweet dreams. I love you.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Friday late afternoon? Mom is dang tired! Mark & Mom left the hotel this morning around 9:30 am & we ran into so much traffic that it took us almost 4 hours to get back. All was OK though. We did great on the ride home. It rained a bit but when we got closer the sun was actually out & it was warm. Now it is back to being cloudy & raining but that is OK because Saturday & Sunday it is suppose to be nice & sunny. In the low 70's....perfect for the holiday weekend. It is a 3 day Memorial weekend for all & Mom is just looking forward to relaxing. mark has a friend coming over Saturday into Sunday & Sunday afternoon Uncle Chris may be stopping by but Monday will be a " do nothing " day for us.
Since Mom has been home I have been straight out busy. The maintenance guy was working when we arrived so for the 1st 30 minutes or so we couldn't do anything as Mom needed to tend to the pups so they would leave him alone. Once that was settled Mom put everything away & started doing the laundry, gave both pups baths, folded the 1st load of laundry & then started on the 2nd load. Mom put all the clean clothes away & started putting the bench that I ordered together. Got that all finished & moved some things around again in my office & then made an early dinner as both Mark & Mom were hungry. Just finished eating & doing all the dishes plus fed the pups so now all the night routine is finished & it is just turning 5 pm. Mom will finish your letter & then I am going to enjoy relaxing for a bit while watching a couple of my shows & then it will be early to bed as I did not sleep well last night again.
Mom spoke to Grandpa & Debbie last night over the phone & Meme & Bob stopped by to see us before we headed out. Mom was suppose to hang out with Uncle Chris for a bit last night & that did not happen as Mom fell asleep so early & then woke up about 1 am. I hurt Uncle Chris' feelings & that made Mom so upset. We have since talked on the phone & cleared the air so everything is good with us again. Mom hates to upset anyone. I would never intentionally hurt anyone on purpose either. That is just not me & how I am. It is not my style. Mom has been hurt quite a bit in the last few weeks & slowly I am getting over it. I can't change anyone & I wouldn't want to as they are themselves for a reason but I can remember what they did & not let them ever do it again to me. Mom is tired of being hurt & stepped on....used & abused by people who I thought were my true friends. Not no more though, Ty.... can't do it anymore. I know you know what I am talking about & I know you see how upset Mom gets but again just know that Mom will be just fine. I know you will be with me every step of the way & I thank you for that. I thank you for helping me grow & learn. It means so much to me my sweet precious son.
That is all the updates Mom has for you at this time but here is your daily prayer for the day: Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need & thank him for all that he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts & minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Amen. Here is an Inspirational quote for the day: It is not fancy hair; gold jewelry or fine clothes that should make you beautiful. No, your beauty should come from within you----the beauty of a gentle & quiet spirit that will never be destroyed & is very precious to God. Amen.
Well, Mom is going to take the time now & go relax for a bit. I have a couple hours left before I will be falling asleep. My eyes are pretty heavy right now...lol. Come visit Mom in my dreams tonight if you can. Thanks Ty! Hope your night is all you need & want it to be. Have fun too. Remember you are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You are in my heart, mind, body & soul. I will whisper to you later so be listening for my voice. I will smile & hope you will too. I miss you like crazy & love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. 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 Thursday evening? Mom is plum tired for sure. Mark did not get back to the hotel until 1:30 am this morning. That made a 18 1/2 hour day for him. All that work & the cut over failed for the 2nd time. Guess what that means.... in 3-4 weeks we will be back here again so that he can go there for the 4th time to try again. Mark is exhausted & so is Mom. I think we both got about 4 hours of sleep. Not good. Mark did nap throughout the day while Mom was studying. I did 2 more powerpoints & now I will be ready for my exam come tomorrow when we get home. I was excited to see that I have 2 more chapters & then it is my final exam and Mom will be done with this class & I can put this one all behind me! I know you have been with me every step of the way & I needed you.... I always need you my sweet precious son.
Today Mark's friend, Dave stopped by to visit with us. It is always nice to see him. He always makes Mom laugh like crazy. Like you.... he has the best stories. He stayed for about 4 hours before he had to go home & take care of his pup. Meme & Bob stopped by once again for about an hour to have dinner with us & to see us before we head home in the morning. Mom & Mark are leaving early in hopes that we beat all the rush over traffic & holiday traffic. We have Mark's other friend, Rick coming to visit on Saturday & Sunday this weekend. He is a nice guy. You would have liked him as he would have loved you. Mom spoke to Auntie Donna today. She was having kind of a bad day so we chatted for about 30 minutes or so. I didn't get to see her this time but I will when we come back up in 3 weeks. Mom didn't speak to anyone else today though. I assume that everyone is well. I am sure to have more updates for you this weekend. Here is a daily prayer for the day: Lord, Things aren't exactly as I'd like them to be this moment. Even so, I know I'm right where I need to be~ in the center of your heart as I put all my trust in you. Please give me an extra drop of your sunshine this day. I love you! Amen.
Here is another one: Today walk with your head up & your shoulders back in the confidence that only God can give you. You are amazing! Amen.
Here is the Inspirational quote for the day: I'm a true believer that everything happens for a reason though you may not always understand why. I believe the most valuable lesson behind it is to make you stronger.... Live in the moment, because that's all there is.....hang on to the good & let the rest go.
The night sky is upon us now & it is very dark & rainy. Mom will not be seeing anything in the sky tonight shining bright. I will whisper to you as I always do later this evening. Mom hopes that your night will be all that you want & need it to be. Have fun while I sleep & come visit me in my dreams. Help me get some sleep tonight, please. Thank you. Smile when you hear my voice & I will smile back just for you. I miss 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 forever live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. You always will. You are my everything, Tyler Andrew Howard. Mom will be back tomorrow night with another letter so until then good night & sweet dreams.

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Wednesday evening? Mom is doing alright...tired but doing ok. Today has been a long day for sure & it is only 8:30 pm. Mark & Mom have been up since 4 am because the dogs decided they wanted to bark at every little thing & not sleep. To say the least Mom is exhausted but I am more worried about Mark as today was the day he had to travel 2 hours away to his customer & spend all day & night there working plus he has to drive back here. I am hoping he is staying hydrated & eating as he tends to not do that on these days. Please watch over Mom while I am here with the pups & watch over Mark so he is safe coming back to me. Thank you my sweet precious son.
Mom spent the day studying for almost 7 hours. I did a lot of work & pretty impressed that I got most of it. I am working on powerpoints. Never have done them before. They are pretty cool. I am actually enjoy this part now that I got the hand of it. I took the pups for a nice walk. They have been pretty good for me today.... of course they have done their fair share of barking but what's new there....lol. Princess won't eat though & that worries Mom. I have tried all day long to get her to eat but nothing. I am hoping that she will eat when Mark gets back no matter what time that is. Ozzy has been Ozzy. Lovable as always.
Meme called me today to see how I was doing so that was nice. I tried calling a couple friends but didn't get to chat with them. I left messages but nothing. Mom honestly has been hurt by a few so called " friends. " Seems like these " friends " only want something to do with me if they need something from me or if they have nothing better to do they give me a call. Mom is seeing the light & boy is everyone in for a surprise. I don't think some are going to like Mom's new attitude but that is too bad. I guess I am finally tired of being walked all over. Mom has never been a " fair weathered " friend to anyone & I just expect the same in return. I know you see me hurting but I want you to know that I will be fine. I expected it from a couple of them but definitely did not expect it from a couple of them. Anyways..... all will be good. I promise you that.
Grandpa & Debbie stopped by tonight & had dinner with me. That was nice to spend time with them like I did last night with Meme & Bob. they stayed for about 3 hours & then left to go back home. Mom got things in order after that & now I am writing to you. The pups are sleeping next to me so all is quiet right now! I think that is all the updates I have for you right now. Mom will be seeing Meme, Bob, Grandpa & one of Mark's friends for dinner tomorrow so I will be sure to have some more for you on that letter.
Here is a daily prayer for you today: Happiness keeps you sweet. Trials keep you strong. Sorrows keep you human. Failure keeps you humble. Success keeps you glowing. But only God keeps you going. Amen.
Father, You are gracious, You are glorious & You alone are God! I praise You for what You have done in my life through your transforming Spirit. Please strengthen me & keep me in your care. I am confident about my salvation because of your greatness & grace. Fulfill your purposes in me & bring me to your throne of glory with great joy. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Mom found a site that I can write some positive quotes on here to you. It can take the place of the Inner Peace cards. Here is one for tonight: I shall no longer allow negative thoughts or feelings to drain me of my energy. Instead I shall focus on all the good that is in my life. I will think it, feel it & speak it. By doing so I will send out vibes of positive energy into the world & I shall be grateful for all the wonderful things it will attract into my life.
The sun has set & the night sky is upon us. Mom was not able to see anything shining bright as the clouds are moving in. It is suppose to rain the nice 2 days so there will be no sunsets either. Mom knows that you are shining bright for someone who needs it & that makes Mom proud. I will whisper to you later tonight so be listening out for my voice. Smile when you hear me & I will smile back. I miss 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 inside my heart, mind, body & soul.
Mom is going to close this letter to you tonight as I am getting pretty tired & it is going on 10 pm. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Until then Mom hopes you have a fun evening doing all the things you want to & need to do. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. I would love that! Good night & sweet dreams.

Tuesday, May 23, 2017
Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday evening? Mom is sorry that I did not write to you again last night but boy was Mom tired after the day I had. I got up early & did some housework & laundry & since it was cold & rainy Mom decided to clean out the closet while I was packing up for our trip to NH/VT today. Well.... that cleaning out took about 3 hours to do & I finished up at 3:30 pm & I took a shower & was finished getting ready at 4:15 pm or so. Mom was so tired that I didn't even turn my computer on at all yesterday. I went to the couch & watched TV as Ozzy was not feeling good at all. Mark didn't get home until about 7 pm so that was a very long day for him. We ate dinner & relaxed & then went to bed at 10 pm.
This morning we both were up early as Mark had to run some errands before we headed out while Mom stayed behind & got the rest of the things ready. We took off around 11:45 pm. We hit quite a bit of traffic this time. Once right before the tunnel & another time when we entered the line to NH as they were doing construction. That was a bit of sitting & waiting. We stopped at the rest stop as well & then again when we got into town so Mom could get some groceries. We got to our hotel at 3:30 pm or later & had to wait 20 minutes to get in as well because they messed up our room. Everything is all good & we are relaxing right now. Meme & Bob are coming here for dinner & then Mark will need to get some sleep as he has a long day ahead of him tomorrow. Tomorrow night Mom will get to spend time with Grandpa & Debbie & perhaps Charlie for a bit. I will be studying during the day so I will be keeping myself busy that is for sure. Thank you for watching over us while we were traveling. It means a lot to Mom. Please continue to be with Mom & Mark through our time here. Thank you again.
Mom really has no big updates for yesterday or today for that matter. Everything seems to be well with our family & friends. Everyone is just really busy working & doing all the other things that they need to. I did get to touch base with Aunt Beck & she was saying there were no new updates on Bean as of yet. She is still sick but is getting better. Mom knows you are watching over her & we all thank you for that. Mom does want to tell you that last night in Manchester, UK at a Ariana Grande concert there was a terrorist attack that killed over 19 children & injured over 50 people. I saw it over the news late last night. Oh it is so sad. Mom has followers on here from the UK & my heart goes out to everyone. I cried for them all last night as they will all have to now live the life that I do....without their child or one of their children. No parent should ever have to have this kind of grief to bear for the rest of their lives. May all my UK followers & ones that don't follow me on here..... My heart is broken for everyone that is involved. My thoughts & prayers go out to each & every one of them. May all the children ( and adults ) R.I.P. & fly high & free with you & the Angels now.
Here are a couple prayers for you for yesterday & today: God is my healer. No matter the pain I am going through, I trust that God will bless me with health & joy. Amen.
Good night Family & Friends..... Lord, I ask Thy gentle care over my family & friends this night. In the sweet name of Jesus, Amen! God bless you all. Peace & Be well. Amen.
Well, Tyler.... Mom needs to get going for tonight as Meme & Bob will be here very soon. Hope your night is all that you need & want it to be. May you have the chance to come visit Mom in my dreams tonight. I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You live forever in my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom will whisper to you later this evening. Hopefully I get to see the moon & the stars shining bright & perhaps a sunset as well. Mom will be back tomorrow to write to you more. Until then.....good night & sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

This morning we both were up early as Mark had to run some errands before we headed out while Mom stayed behind & got the rest of the things ready. We took off around 11:45 pm. We hit quite a bit of traffic this time. Once right before the tunnel & another time when we entered the line to NH as they were doing construction. That was a bit of sitting & waiting. We stopped at the rest stop as well & then again when we got into town so Mom could get some groceries. We got to our hotel at 3:30 pm or later & had to wait 20 minutes to get in as well because they messed up our room. Everything is all good & we are relaxing right now. Meme & Bob are coming here for dinner & then Mark will need to get some sleep as he has a long day ahead of him tomorrow. Tomorrow night Mom will get to spend time with Grandpa & Debbie & perhaps Charlie for a bit. I will be studying during the day so I will be keeping myself busy that is for sure. Thank you for watching over us while we were traveling. It means a lot to Mom. Please continue to be with Mom & Mark through our time here. Thank you again.
Mom really has no big updates for yesterday or today for that matter. Everything seems to be well with our family & friends. Everyone is just really busy working & doing all the other things that they need to. I did get to touch base with Aunt Beck & she was saying there were no new updates on Bean as of yet. She is still sick but is getting better. Mom knows you are watching over her & we all thank you for that. Mom does want to tell you that last night in Manchester, UK at a Ariana Grande concert there was a terrorist attack that killed over 19 children & injured over 50 people. I saw it over the news late last night. Oh it is so sad. Mom has followers on here from the UK & my heart goes out to everyone. I cried for them all last night as they will all have to now live the life that I do....without their child or one of their children. No parent should ever have to have this kind of grief to bear for the rest of their lives. May all my UK followers & ones that don't follow me on here..... My heart is broken for everyone that is involved. My thoughts & prayers go out to each & every one of them. May all the children ( and adults ) R.I.P. & fly high & free with you & the Angels now.
Here are a couple prayers for you for yesterday & today: God is my healer. No matter the pain I am going through, I trust that God will bless me with health & joy. Amen.
Good night Family & Friends..... Lord, I ask Thy gentle care over my family & friends this night. In the sweet name of Jesus, Amen! God bless you all. Peace & Be well. Amen.
Well, Tyler.... Mom needs to get going for tonight as Meme & Bob will be here very soon. Hope your night is all that you need & want it to be. May you have the chance to come visit Mom in my dreams tonight. I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You live forever in my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom will whisper to you later this evening. Hopefully I get to see the moon & the stars shining bright & perhaps a sunset as well. Mom will be back tomorrow to write to you more. Until then.....good night & sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Mom is very sorry that I did not write to you last night but boy I was beat. Mom woke up at & am & got the pups fed & made breakfast for Mark & I & then I started right in with building 4 book shelves for my office. When that was done I had to rearrange everything, dust, vacuum & vacuum the whole apartment & then move everything into the garage for Bean. Mom took a shower at 4 pm & then Mark & I headed to the ocean to take a walk & then grabbed dinner at Mom's favorite seafood restaurant. We got back around 7 pm & Mom was like a zombie.. I was so tired. I went to bed & watched TV until 9:30 pm & I was out. I woke up at 6 am this morning & couldn't get back to sleep. I fed the pups, made Mark coffee while he was still sleeping & then got ready. I had to go out for a bit today & run some errands. Just got back home & wanted to write to you now because my fuel is running low again & my eyes are pretty heavy. Mom didn't get much sleep as Mark was sick most of the night. He still is feeling pretty yucky today. He has been sleeping a lot. Hopefully he will get some much needed rest as he has a very busy week ahead of him as we travel back to VT/NH for 4 days. Mom worries about him. He runs himself so thin. Everyone sees it just wish he did. That has pretty much been our weekend. Mellow days pretty much for Mark & Mom has been just busy busy busy. My whole body is super sore today & Mark said it will be worse tomorrow. Can't wait for that...lol. I can hardly walk & bend as it is now. Guess we will just have to wait & see. Mom honestly does not have any new updates for you as I have not spoken to anyone in the last 3 days. The phones have not rang at all. Guess everyone is extremely busy doing their own thing & that is good. No news is good news. Oh... today is Uncle Dick's Birthday so you should go visit him. Tomorrow is Aunt Jacqui & Uncle Dick's 46th wedding Anniversary. Mom was exactly 1 week old when I attended their wedding. I think I have pictures of that somewhere. I will have to look for them at some point. Hopefully tomorrow I will have some updates for you.
Mom finished the daily prayer book that I was using to write to you. I don't have any other ones like that but I did find one that has some prayers in it. I will use this one until I can find something else. here is the prayer for the day: It's not where we worship that counts, but how we worship----is our worship spiritual & real? Do we have the Holy Spirit's help? For God is Spirit & we must have his help to worship as we should. The Father wants this kind of worship from us. Amen.
Mom missed the Inner Peace card for yesterday & today would have been the last one so I am just going to write both of them to you today. I will find something else to replace these as well. Here are the last two: I answer to myself & no one else. The person looking back at you in the mirror is the one you have to answer to every day.
Inner peace creates world peace. You get world peace through inner peace. If you've got a world of people who have inner peace, then you have a peaceful world.
Well those are completed & Mom loves them. One of the best gifts I got from Aunt Beck. I might just choose one daily & reread them as they are helpful to me to stay focused & positive.
Well, Tyler, Mom has a couple hours before I need to do the night routine & I should go check on Mark to see how he is feeling. I hope that you have a fun night tonight while Mom is sleeping. Come visit me again like you did last night in my dreams. Thank you for that. I will whisper to you as I always do later so be listening out for my voice. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You will always live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. I miss you so much my sweet precious son. You will forever be my everything. ope I get to see a beautiful " painting " from you tonight. Mom will be looking for one. When I see it I will smile for you. Hope you will be smiling back. I 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 Friday night? Mom sure has been busy today. I am pretty surprised as I didn't get much sleep due to Ozzy being afraid of the thunder & lightning storm that we got around 2 am. Poor little guy was hiding under our bed & wouldn't get out from under there. I felt so bad but he felt safe there so I let him be. Mom was up at 7 am & got the pups fed & made coffee for Mark & got him all the snacks he needed for the day. Mom relaxed for about 2 hours & then got up, ate breakfast, made the bed, took a shower & got ready & then I went for a walk with the pups. Boy it was another hot day out there. 92 degrees & sunny with blue skies. Mom came in & grab her water & lunch & I proceeded to start my exam. It took me about 3 hours to do it but I feel pretty good. I know it is not 100% but it should be a passing grade. I am on Chapter 7 now. Hopefully I am almost done with this dang class. I just want it done & over with. At 5:30 pm Mom fed the pups dinner & then made dinner for Mark & I. After that we went down in the garage to break down a ton of boxes we have needed to do for so long now. Mom had the energy to do it so the timing was right. That actually only took about 15 minutes & we were done. Mom came back upstairs & did the dishes & now I am writing to you. I think most of my energy is gone now though as I am getting a little tired....lol.
Mom spoke to Auntie Donna this afternoon. All is well with her, Bob & Kenny. Mom was so happy to see them all last Saturday. It had been way too long. I plan on seeing them again next week when we are back in NH. Meme also called me with good news & not so good news. The good news is awesome & even though I can't say anything right now I will keep you posted as much as I can! The not so good news is that Bob's procedure is set for June 14th...so much for an emergency... it will be like 8 weeks later. Mom is hoping that everything will be ok. I know you will be with Bob during the procedure & with Meme as she is waiting for him. Mom is hoping to get up there for that but I am not sure as of yet. That is all the the updates I have for you tonight. I am sure there is more to come in the next 2 days as it is the weekend.
Here is the daily prayer for you today. May 19~ I cry to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me. You know all the purposes for which you have made me, Lord God: to fellowship with you; to enjoy meaningful relationships with others; to declare your praises, to minister to those in need..... the list is long. But I'm so grateful that I don't need to make a purpose-fulfillment to-do list for myself. You are the one who fulfills your purpose for those who love you. So I cry out to you today to increase my love for you that I might more readily lay down my own agenda to be available to fulfill the excellent purposes you have for me. When we focus on being love-driven, God takes care of the purpose-driven aspect of our lives. Amen.
Only 2 more nights after tonight for the Inner Peace cards. Here is the one for tonight: My destiny is mine to control. When you acquire enough inner peace & feel really positive about yourself, it's almost impossible for you to be controlled & manipulated by anybody else.
That card is so true. Power of positive thinking is the best for everyone. Mom is learning this & finally living it. It really does feel good. I am sure you are smiling when you see the progress Mom is making with this. I have a ways to go still but every day it gets better 7 better & I am enjoying this " new " life style!
Mom is hoping that your night is all that you want it to be. May you get to do things that you want to & need to. If you can, come be with Mom. Come visit me in my dreams too. I will whisper to you later this evening so be listening for my voice. Mom will smile & I will picture you smiling back at me. I miss you. I miss everything my sweet precious son. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You will always be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You forever live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Hopefully Mom will see a nice " painting " from you in a little bit. If so I will whisper to you then as well. Mom is going to get going now as I am going to go relax. I have a busy day coming up tomorrow. Mom will be redoing her office in the morning. Wish me luck...lol! I will be back tomorrow with another letter. Until then... good night & sweet dreams, Tyler. My love for you is everything I have. Unconditional.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
