Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! Happy Halloween to you in the Heavens above! Today is one of your favorite days of the year. I hope that you will be looking down & watching all the kiddos going out trick or treating tonight. Mom can hear your voice in my head. I miss your voice. I miss you my sweet precious son. Mom is wearing orange today just for you. When I got it out of my closet this morning Mom whispered to you...did you hear me? I hope so. Mom smile & said " this is for you. " Today, the weather is sunny & a bit chilly out. It was nice when I took the pups out for a walk earlier. Mom was looking at all the damage that was done due to the storm Sunday & Monday night. There is a big ole pine tree that came right out of the ground...roots & all. Mom will try to take some pics of it tomorrow if it is still there. It was sad to see. I guess there are several big trees that fell along with many shutters, lights & windows that were broken. NH still has over 300,000 customers without power & no signs of when it will return. Mom is praying for them. I hope that their power will return & soon. 
 Mom has not done all that much today. I got a little bit of sleep last night & woke up early this morning. Mark fed the pups for me before he left for the office this morning. Mom got up, made breakfast, did laundry, got ready. For the most part that is all I have done. Mark will be gone all day & into the evening tomorrow so Mom will do some cleaning in the morning & then I will be finishing my exam that I did yesterday & submitting it & starting on the next chapter of my course. Tomorrow should be a very productive day for Mom. 
 Meme called on her break today & we chatted for a few minutes. She said she was running late so she would touch base with me later tonight. I spoke to Grandpa briefly yesterday & told him I would chat with him tonight after trick or treating was done for him. He did say that all was well on their end. They didn't lose power at all during the storm which was great seeings how some of there neighbors on the hill lost power right off & are among the ones waiting to be restored. Meme said they lost power for a couple of hours yesterday morning around 3 am but it was back on quickly. Mom will have more updates for you on tomorrows letter for sure. I will also try to get in touch with Aunt Beck as well. That is all Mom has for you today. Here are your daily prayers though:
  May God bring fresh hope to your heart today! May He make a way where there's been no way. May He give you wisdom and peace for your next steps. May He protect you where you're vulnerable and establish you in your calling. May you dare to steward your time, treasures, and talents today so you’re ready for what God has for you tomorrow. Blessings on your day today.

To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away (Matthew 25:29 NLT).

 May you refuse to let your emotions dictate your perspective. You have Jesus. You have His presence. And you have His promises! When what your eyes see is different than what your heart deeply desires, look up and pray. He invites you to walk with Him, talk with Him, and involve Him in every detail of your life. If you're in the 'not-yet' season, take time to worship God because He's God; take time to thank Him too, because He's been good. And dare to ask for the impossible, because He's a wonder-working God. Your story is not over yet. Have a heart-at-rest kind of night. God bless you!

And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns (Philippians 1:6 NLT).

 here is a saying for the day as well: In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give & that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.

 Well, Tyler it is going on 4:30 pm & you know what time that is.... time for Mom to get off the computer & feed the pups & also get dinner going for Mark & I. Mom is keeping up with the tradition of having pizza on Halloween night. Remember that was always what we did? It was quick so that Mom didn't have dishes to do & we could get out faster to take you trick or treating. I think that is the only tradition that Mom has kept up with since you passed. I will be lighting a candle tonight as I have been doing now for a couple months now. I will whisper to you as I always do & right before I go to bed tonight. Be listening for my voice. Smile when you hear Mom & I will smile back to you. I hope that your evening will be filled with fun tonight. Make sure you don't do too much tricking....lol! If you get the chance, come visit Mom in my dreams tonight or stop in too sit by me while I am sleeping. Thanks Tyler! I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You will always be my hero, my shining star & the wind beneath my wings. You are forever in my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then.... good night & sweet dreams.

 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

P.S. Mom has lots of pictures to put on here tonight including ones of Princess & Ozzy in their costumes. Enjoy them all & hope they make you smile. 

 Hope I get to see the moon again tonight like I did last night. I smiled & whispered to you! Again.... Happy Halloween Tyler! Mom loves you more than anything in this world....ALWAYS!!!!!
