Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom just looked at the clock... it is 12:12 pm. I know you are with me right now. Thank you for the sign. It sure did make Mom smile. I whispered to you so I hope you heard me. Such a sweet surprise indeed. The weather today is sunny & cold! I will take it as the sun is shining bright. Mom always feels so much better when it is sunny out than when it rains or snows. That type of weather really affects me a great deal. I guess maybe a move South would be beneficial for Mom..... like I said....maybe in a couple years! Mom is so sorry for the short letter last night but after a full day of studying the time escaped me & before I knew it, it was so late in the day & I hadn't even started to make dinner or feed the pups. That is so not like Mom at all. Today I decided to write to you before I started my studying. That way if I am running late , I already have my letter to you finished. Mom was up super early this morning. I was right up & ready to go. I got ready, did some laundry, made breakfast, did those dishes & then chatted on the phone with Bonnie. We had a get talk. I sure do miss her. I miss Oklahoma at times. I can't believe that February it will be almost 5 years since we lived there. It seems so much longer than that. Time does fly by that is for sure. it will be 5 years in June since I lost you. There are days it just doesn't seem possible & other days it seems like it has been longer. Mom really misses you. That heartache just never goes away at all. I don't think it ever will either no matter how hard I try. This will remain a part of me forever. Mom noticed when I logged into my blog that to this day I have posted 5700 times. That is between the letters & the pictures that I share with you. That is crazy! Mom still continues to have over 200 followers daily that read my letters to you from all over the world. Mom is forever grateful for this. I always say that I don't know what it is that I write about that makes everyone want to follow me ( and for as long as they have ) but I hope through my way of grieving, I am able to help others along the way as well. Thank you to all who keep with me daily. Many blessings to you all from the bottom of my heart.
Last night after dinner Mom was able to chat with Grandpa again. Oh it was so sad to hear how both him & Debbie sounded. Debbie was saying that she had another doctors appointment today & an ENT appointment in the middle of February. I sure hope they are feeling better & very soon. Mom hates to see them so sick. I will call them tonight as well just to check in on them. I will keep you posted, Tyler. Mom also spoke to Meme. She called & we spoke for just a few minutes. She was saying that Bob was doing a little better. He was sleeping a lot & had very little appetite these last few days of him being sick. Meme really isn't doing much better. She is still going to work every day. She is always tired & she also has had no appetite. She was saying that she also was sick to her stomach. That is not good. Mom hopes that they are feeling better & soon as well. Guess there is a lot of that sickness in that area. So many have this nasty flu. I hope it goes away fast. Both Mark & Mom had it last year for 6-8 weeks. It was horrible. The cold & cough just wouldn't go away. Mom also got to speak to Marion & Charlie last night. We were chatting about our get away next weekend. Everyone is looking forward to it. It should be a fun time. The weather is suppose to be good as well. Mom will take lots of pictures & post some on here for you to see. I wish you would be with us but I know you will be in your own special way. Send me a sign, okay? Thank you my sweet precious son! That is all I have for updates for you today. Here are the sayings for the day:
Hate no one, no matter how much they wronged you. Live humbly, no matter how wealthy you become. Think positively, no matter how hard life is. Give much, even if you've been given little. Forgive all, especially yourself & never stop praying for the best for everyone.
Don't use your energy to worry, Use your energy to believe!
Mom really needs to get going now so that I can start my studying. I would like to get at least 3 hours in. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Hope that your evening later will be everything you want & need it to be. Hope you will come visit Mom in my dreams tonight. I will whisper to you just like I do every night so smile for Mom when you hear me & I will smile back to you. I love you more than words can say. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Always my hero & the wind beneath my wings & forever you will live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Good night & sweet dreams later my bright shining star.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
P.S. Today is the last day of January! No more winter pictures for this year!!!!!!
Here are the prayers for the day:
God is doing a new thing. Can you sense it? May you lean in and listen to that still small voice and take your next steps with a heart of faith and expectancy. May Jesus Himself give you a fresh vision for what breakthrough looks like so you will not lose heart or give up when it seems the battle rages on. Soon, and very soon, you will see and know that His promises are true for you. Strengthen yourself in the Lord today. Remind yourself who you are and whose you are. Recite His promises and rehearse His faithfulness. He's been good and He'll be good again. Walk forward in faith. God bless you, dear one.
May the sense of Jesus' presence be especially tangible to you tonight. May the reality of His love sink deep into your bones. May His voice ring true amidst the chaos of the culture. May you refuse worry, fear, and insecurity because you belong to Him. Jesus has made promises to you that He intends to keep. May the promise of His return compel you to look up and live accordingly. You are precious, honored, and loved by One who saved you. Have a blessed and beautiful night!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this snowy Tuesday early evening? Mom has let time escape herself today & I am running so far behind schedule it is not funny. Mom studied all day today while it was quiet & Mark was gone. I believe that I got a lot accomplished today as well. I read the next chapter in my book & I have started the exam for it. I will continue to work on it tomorrow & during the week until it is finished & I can submit it. The weather today was so nasty. It was cold & snowy all day. Mom's old bones could feel it. Most of the day I was dragging because of it but I did the best I could. We were only suppose to get 1 inch or less of snow but that was incorrect. we got more than that. Hoping with the sun tomorrow & the rain on Thursday it will melt most of it again before we get the 4 days of snow over the weekend & into next week.
Mom spoke to Aunt Beck yesterday afternoon. That was nice. All is well there on that end. She is really getting excited for her trip. It is now a couple months away! I spoke to Grandpa today & was so sad. He is sick again. He caught a 3rd nasty cold on Sunday & poor Debbie is really sick as well with blocked sinuses, nose & both ears. She was sleeping when we were chatting. I was wondering why I hadn't heard from them in a few days. Now I know why. They spent 3 hours at the doctors today for Debbie. I sure hope they are feeling better by next week so that they can go have a fun weekend with us. If not, Mom completely understands. Please watch over us all my sweet precious son. We all need you. Thank you for everything that you continue to do for us. That is all the updates that I have for you today. It has been really quiet the last several days/nights. Oh yeah... one more thing.... I got my exam grade back from the one I submitted yesterday.... it was a 97%! My grade now is an 88 which is 2 points from an A. Mom was so happy!!!! Thanks to you sticking by me I am going through this class the best I can. Mom loves you so much. I miss you even more. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. You will forever live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Always you will be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Mom will whisper to you tonight like I always do later on. Smile when you hear Mom & I will be sure to smile back to you. Mom is hoping that you have a peaceful night. may you get to do all the things you need to do & may want to do. Come visit with Mom in my dreams tonight if you can or be with me while I sleep. Thanks again, Ty! Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you & a much longer one as well. I will write the sayings to you tomorrow as Mom is running so late. It is 5:37 pm & the pups just got fed & we haven't even had dinner yet. Mom is way off today but that is okay. Tomorrow is another day & it will be better. The sun will be shining & I will be bright-eyed & busy-tailed! Here is the prayers for the day:
As you walk intimately with Jesus, may faith feel as natural to you as breathing in and breathing out. As you pause throughout the day to look at the sky, to notice a child, or to help someone in need, may you remember that you belong to Creator God. He made you for a purpose and placed you on this earth for such a time as this. May He fill you afresh this day with the wonder of His love, the power of His Spirit, and the strength of His heart. He loves how He made you! Walk with joyful, humble, bold confidence today!
May you stand on your barren land and envision a harvest. May you experience a revival of faith where you've struggled for so long. Instead of rehashing your losses, determine to rehearse His promises because they're truer than your circumstances. Tonight's a good night to embrace faith, to give thanks, and to worship the One who keeps His promises. Jesus loves you and He is faithful to His Word. May His love define you and His promises hem you in and shore you up. You've got everything you need in Him. Your story's not over yet.
Mom needs to get going for now, Tyler. I will be back tomorrow so until then.... good night & sweet dreams my bright shining star.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is doing well & being quite productive for a Monday...lol! Last night Mom didn't get all that great of sleep but I was up at 7:45 am & got things started. I was able to make breakfast, eat, do dishes & then got ready. Once that was all done I took the pups for their morning walk. It was slightly cold & the wind is just whipping like crazy. The sky is all cloudy & gray as later on this evening we will be getting snow. Guess this is the week of snow, sleet, freezing rain as we will be getting it tonight, Friday, Saturday Sunday & also into next week. Thursday it is suppose to rain so not so much sunshine at all this week I am afraid. That is such a bummer but maybe the following week it will be better. Anyways.... after the walk, Mom came right in & started to write everything out for my 4th exam in my class. I am almost all finished with it & ready to submit to get it graded. I am hoping that I did things correctly & that I get a passing grade. Guess Mom will find out in a couple days. I was looking ahead to what was in store for the next chapter & I am so glad that this dang class is almost finished with. Mom is going insane. Not my best work or class this far that is for sure. it is not going to stop me though. I am going to keep pushing & moving forward with it. Mom knows you are right by my side through all this & I wouldn't want it any different. well, I wish you were physically here. Mom misses you like crazy. I miss our time together, our talks. I really miss everything that we got to share as Mother & Son. Mom will always cherish the times & years we got to spend together. Every picture that I look at brings me back to that day. Sometimes I smile, sometimes I laugh & other times I shed tears. I think no matter how much time goes by that you are gone, for Mom it will always be this way. Good days & bad days. That is just a part of grieving. Mom will grieve for the rest of my life over the loss of you. You were & always will be my everything. Always my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Forever you will live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. More than all the stars in the sky.
Last night was another quiet evening for us. Mark did some work & then tinkered around in his office & Mom watched TV for a bit. We had dinner & then relaxed for the night. Meme was the only one who had called. The rest of the night was silent. Mom & Mark went to bed early so we could get up early this morning as it is a start to a brand new week. Mark had an important phone call this morning which went better than he expected Mom believes. He is on another call right now while I am writing to you. Mom did submit her exam for school. Part of it was graded. The first 60 questions were multiple choice & I got 57 out of 60. Not bad! Now I just wait for my instructor to grade the rest of it for me. Like I said above... Mom is just looking for a passing grade! My fingers & toes are crossed that is for sure. Tomorrow I will be starting to read Chapter 8 & later this week will be working on exam 5.
Mom really doesn't have any updates for you as the weekend was just what I thought it would be...quiet & relaxing! Hopefully I will chat with family & friends during the week. I will keep you posted as Mom knows of things! For now, here are the sayings for the day:
Just a reminder that to protect your energy, it's okay to..... cancel a commitment/appointment, not to answer that call, change your mind, want to be alone, take a day off, do nothing, create distance from something/someone, speak up, let go, move on. Note to self: Don't feel bad about looking after yourself & preserving your energy as much as possible.
Don't give up. Normally it is the last key on the ring which opens the door.
Both of those sayings today are great advice! Everyone needs to be true to themselves. Stay away from things that stress you out. That is what the new year is doing for Mom. Less stress, more times for everything & everyone else!
Mom can't believe that it is already after 3 pm. Today is just flying by. Mom needs to get going for now so that I can do a few things & then get the night routine started. It will be another night of going to bed early as Mark is at a customer site all day tomorrow. Mom has a nail appointment but sure if I will have to reschedule. Depends on the weather. The wind is picking up & the sky is so dark already. Looks like I won't be seeing the moon or stars tonight. I did, however, see the moon last night. It was there... hazy but I smiled & whispered to you. Hope you heard Mom. I will whisper to you again later on so smile when you hear Mom & I will smile back to you my sweet precious son. Keep us safe through this weather that we are about to get. Thank you. Come visit me in my dreams tonight if you can. Have fun while Mom sleeps. Hope you do all the things that are needed of you & things that you may want to do as well. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then.... good night & sweet dreams my bright shining star. I love you unconditionally.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is the pray for the day:
May you begin to cherish the wonder of small things: small seeds, baby steps, subtle shifts in perspective. Choose life every chance you get. When God is about to do a new thing, He starts small and speaks to those who are listening. Are you listening? Don't underestimate the power of your kindness, obedience, offerings, and prayers. Cherish today. Embrace faith. Take steps of obedience. Do small things like they're big things. God brings the increase. God multiplies. He has no rival. Nothing is too difficult for Him! Open your hand and trust Him to make something out of practically nothing. He's a wonder-working God and loves to work through you! Embrace the power of small steps today!

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Mom is doing pretty good. Was up again early this morning just like I always am & got things started for the day. Mark fed the pups for me while I got a big breakfast going for us. Mom made bacon, eggs, toast, coffee, juice, etc.... remember when we would do that every Sunday? I sure do miss those times but I cherish all the ones that we were able to have together for all those years. After breakfast was done & dishes were cleaned, Mom came into the office & went over my exam one last time before I submit it on Monday. I feel pretty good but one never knows. I just want a passing grade! While Mom & Mark were eating, Meme called. She seemed so down. She was telling Mom that Bob was now sick with that dang cold. He can hardly breathe & he is sleeping even more than normal. She said that he has a doctors appointment this week & also next week. I hope he is feeling better soon because he does not need that at all. Meme was saying that he was forgetting a lot of things including taking his medicine. They were suppose to go away with us in 2 weekends but she told me today that they were not going to go. Partly because of Bob & the other part is because of financial reasons. It made Mom sad to hear this as I know they really wanted to go but I have to respect her decision. She kept saying that " her gut " was telling her not to go. I guess at times like that you have to go with your " gut " instinct. there is another 1 1/2 weeks so maybe there is a slim change that they will change their minds. Mom will keep her fingers crossed. Please watch over them for me, Tyler. Thank you my sweet precious son. Mom is kinda worried about them.
Last night was a very quiet night. Mom & Mark had dinner & then his brother called to see if he wanted to play a game online so Mark did that & Mom cuddled on the couch with Ozzy & watched a couple of her shows that Mark doesn't like. Mark ended up playing his game for almost 3 hours. The phone did not ring once last night & we were in bed sleeping at 10 pm. Mom doesn't think that Mark was really feeling all that well. Still don't think he as today he is seeming kind of off. Hope he is not getting sick. He has a tough week at week coming up plus he has plans for the weekend with a friend of his on Saturday. Mom doesn't need to get sick either so please, if you can, watch over us as well. Thank you! Mom will touch base with Grandpa tonight after he gets out of work & I will touch base with Aunt Beck this week as well. Mom's goal is to read the next chapter in her book & the do the exam & perhaps start the last chapter & star on my final. It will be really nice to finish this class up & be able to move forward. It has been way too long. Anyways that is all Mom has for you on this cloudy Sunday afternoon. Here are a couple sayings for the day for you though:
It's never too late to start over...if things aren't going as planned, or things just didn't work out yesterday....today is a new day....fresh starts & new beginnings are what this life is made of. Keep going!
If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.
Here is the daily prayer for today as well:
Prayer: Pick me up Lord, hold me in Your loving arms. Protect me from the pressures of the day & remove the heaviness from my heart. Inspire me with the knowledge that You & I together can handle anything. Amen.
Mom hopes that later tonight you will have a peaceful evening doing all the things you may need to do & would want to do. If you can, come sit with Mom tonight so I can get some much needed rest. Thank you so much. I miss you so much, Tyler. I love you more than all the stars in the sky. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Always, you will be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Forever will you live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom will whisper to you later tonight when I am lighting my candle & then going to bed. Smile when you hear Mom. I will smile back to you. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then..... good night & sweet dreams tonight.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Mom is doing pretty good. Was up again early this morning just like I always am & got things started for the day. Mark fed the pups for me while I got a big breakfast going for us. Mom made bacon, eggs, toast, coffee, juice, etc.... remember when we would do that every Sunday? I sure do miss those times but I cherish all the ones that we were able to have together for all those years. After breakfast was done & dishes were cleaned, Mom came into the office & went over my exam one last time before I submit it on Monday. I feel pretty good but one never knows.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Saturday late afternoon? Mom is doing pretty good today! I went to bed at a descent time last night & seemed to get okay sleep & was up early this morning. Mark was up earlier & he fed the pups for me & made coffee. I got up & did a few things around the apartment & then got ready as we were heading out for the day to run errands. When mark was getting ready, Mom took the pups for a nice walk. About 20 minutes later we took off. The weather today was so beautiful. It was partly cloudy with lots of sunshine & the temp was 51 degrees. The wind was a bit but that is okay. Such a nice day overall. Mom needed to run a few errands. I had ordered a few things online a couple weeks back. Either the things were too small or Mom just didn't like them so I needed to go exchange them. We had to brave the mall but luckily all the stores that I needed to go to were on the same floor & pretty close to one another. Mark wears a fit bit & said to me... if you want to get a lot of steps in, go walking the mall as he put in 4,000 steps which means Mom did a lot more than that as I have shorter legs & take more steps to keep up with him...lol! Mom did pretty good with exchanging things. I got a lot of things of clearance so that was cool. I got some leg warmers & boot covers for a weekend trip that we are taking in a couple weeks to the mountains, I got a pair of awesome sparkly ankle boots & a few little things to put odds & ends in when we travel. Good finds today for sure. After that trip to the mall we went grocery shopping. We got home around 3:30 pm & Mom put everything away & now I am writing to you. later we will have dinner & Mom will do the dishes & then it is relaxing for the evening with maybe popcorn & a movie. Tomorrow we are doing nothing. Mom will probably go over her exam one last time & then submit it. Hopefully this week Mom can get through another exam & then the following week start my final in this class. we will see!
Last night, Bean called me while she was driving home from work. It was so nice to hear from her. She was thanking Mom for the package that I sent her & her BF. Mom is glad that they liked everything. Later on, Mark & Mom had dinner & caught up on a few of the TV shows that we had DVR through the week. Mom records so many shows during the week that some of them I am like 2-3 weeks behind. I will eventually catch up on them all. Mom is not worried one bit! Other than Bean calling, no one else called. I will touch base with everyone either later this evening or tomorrow evening to see how everyone is doing. I will let you know as soon as I know things!
Mom can't believe that this is the last few days of January...4 to be exact. Thursday will be February 1st. That is crazy. We officially have 1 month of Winter left & then it will be the beginning of Spring or at least there will be no snow that will be flying. Mom already has pictures ready for February. It will be all about Valentine's Day & sweet messages for that whole month. Mom is also going to start doing another new thing which is writing color meanings down. I have been researching it the last few days & it is all interesting so I thought I would share my findings. I hope everyone who reads my letters to you will like it just as much. Mom figured I needed to add something new to the mix from time to time.
Here are a couple sayings for the day for you. Here they are:
" Go back &n take care of yourself. Your body needs you, your feelings need you, your perceptions need you. Your suffering needs you to acknowledge it. Go home & be there for all these things. "
" No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else. "
Here is a prayer for the day:
Life is but a stopping place, a pause in what's to be, a resting place along the road to sweet eternity. We all have different journeys. Different paths along the way, we all are meant to learn some things but never meant to stay.... Our destination is a place far greater than we know. For some, the journey's quicker, for some, the journey's slow. And when the journey finally ends, we'll claim a great reward and find an everlasting peace, together with the Lord. Amen.
Well, Tyler, it is that time of the night. Mark is feeding the pups while I am finishing my letter to you & then it will be time for Mom to get dinner going for Mark & I. I have already lit the candle for the evening & I whispered to you so I sure hope you heard me. I will whisper to you again later tonight as well. Smile & Mom will smile back to you. Hope you evening is everything you would like it to be tonight. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thank you pumpkin. Please watch over us. Thank you for everything you do. I miss you so much. More than words can say. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. Always my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Forever living inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then.....Good night & sweet dreams my bright shining star.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Mom can't believe that it is already after 4 pm. Today has just flown right by that is for sure. Both Mark & Mom have been up since about 6 am. last night Ozzy had a rough night. He was up quite a bit & not sure why. Last time I checked on him was 3:30 this morning. He finally wedged himself between Mark & Mom & fell asleep. He has been sleepy all day long. Mom was up & got the pups fed, coffee made, snacks out for Mark so he could get ready & then head to the office for the day. I laid back in bed for about an hour after Mark left & then I got up, made breakfast, did the dishes, got ready, took the pups for a walk & then headed straight into the office to study all day long. Mom did exactly that. Only took a break to chat with Charlie for about 20 minutes & then went right back to it. I pretty much finished my exam. I will look it over this weekend & then submit it on Monday. I have 2 more exams & then it is the final. I am hoping to get in done in the next couple of weeks so in February I can start my new class. Mom got a lot accomplished this week & it felt great. Every day was productive that is for sure. Looking forward to a lot more of that. Mark will be gone most of next week so I will have lots of quiet time to do my studying. I know you are right by my side...just like you always are & always have been. The thought of that makes me smile.
Last night was a night of relaxing. Mark & Mom had dinner, I did the clean up after & then we watched TV for the evening. The phone rang a couple times & Mom chatted with a friend for about 20 minutes. He is in a rough spot right now. He called to say hello & make small talk but he was building the courage up to ask for help. He needed money. Mom has never ever had to say no before last night but I had no choice. Mark & Mom decided to do something spontaneous over last weekend. We did " quick " math & we should have never done that as we have cut ourselves short for the next 2 weeks. Everything will be okay for us after the 1st of February but still... we should have been prepared more & not done what we did. We both said we would not do that again. Mom & Mark felt bad that we couldn't help out but our bills are due & we need to pay them. I sure do hope that everything will be okay for him. I don't think he really believed me for my reasoning why I couldn't but it is the truth 100%. I have no reason to lie about it nor would I ever. Anyways.... Bean called last night as well. I called her back but she had just got home from work & they were getting dinner out. She said that she would call me tonight. We shall see. i will talk to her when I do. She sounded well. Very happy so that is a good thing. Mom will touch base with everyone else this weekend as we are not going anywhere or doing anything. It will be a very relaxing weekend for us. That is all that I have for today for updates. Mom will write the sayings for the day for you. Here they are:
" Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates: Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind? "
" Maturity is learning to walk away from people & situations that threaten your peace of mind, self respect, values, morals & self worth. "
Mom is hoping that tonight your evening will be filled with all that you need to do & may want to do as well. May you get the chance to be with Mom when I go to bed tonight. Thank you my sweet precious son! Have fun tonight though! Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. For now I need to get going & fed the pups & get dinner going for Mark & I as it is almost 5 pm. Mom will whisper to you tonight as I always do so smile when you hear me & I will smile back to you. I miss you so much, Tyler. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Forever my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Always, you will be inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Until the next letter..... good night & sweet dreams my bright shining star.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here are the prayers for the day:
May God do such a deep healing work in your soul that you're able to look at your disappointments and heartbreaks with a grounded sense of hope and perspective. May your emotions rest on God's immovable, abounding love and faithfulness. May you never again be tossed to and fro by the choices of others and the changes in your circumstances. Your Rock is Christ and He is immovable. Stand on Him. Stand strong because of Him. And know this: one day He'll make your righteousness shine like the dawn and will reveal to the world that YOU belong to HIM! Find your sturdy place of rest in Him tonight.
May new and fresh hope suddenly arise within you. May the enemy's plan against you backfire as you grow stronger, not weaker in your trials. May your sturdy grasp of God's promises intimidate the enemy and make him lose heart. May you find JOY in the heat of the battle, POWER in the promises of God, and PROVISION where you've only known lack. May the things you once knew of God pale in comparison to what you know of Him now. He makes all things new. He breaks through. And He will come through for you. Soldier on, mighty one! God is with you!

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom has been up since the sunrise this morning. Another day that the pups have woken us up at the crack of dawn. Mark & Mom got right up though & fed the pups & got coffee going for Mark as well. Mom took some pictures of the sunrise this morning. It sure was a beautiful painting in the sky. I smile really big every time I see one. Guess Mom is a sucker for sunrises & sunsets but you already knew that! Anyways.... yesterday was really a tough day with being on the phone & trying to get the internet to work. Today, unfortunately was no exception. It started doing the same thing again. Poor Mark has been working on it again all day trying to come up with solutions to try & make it work again. The whole thing is a pain in the arse! Mom wishes that I could help find some solutions but I just seem to get in Mark's way so I just stay away & let him do his thing. Mom took the day & studied. I have managed to read both my chapters & answer 60 questions on my next exam. Tomorrow I will work on the last 4 questions as they are super intense. Many parts to the questions & I want a fresh mind set when I do them. I think that within 3 days I was able to do all this... I am on a roll once again. Mom got her grade for the exam I submitted the other day. I got an 86%. I was really happy with that but upset when I saw that I would have got a 91% if I had seen the mistake that I did. I had put the same answer in 2 of my questions so my instructor docked me 5 points for that. I am happy with the grade that I got though. Hopefully this one will be just the same. Any way I look at it, I am hoping to just pass the dang course at this point so that I can more on to my next class. Tomorrow, Mark will be at the office so it will be a day of things being pretty quiet here for Mom. Next week Mark will be gone almost all week to customer sites so I will have lots of quiet time to study. Tomorrow is already Friday! This week kind of went by fast! This weekend will be just a weekend for us to kick back & really do nothing at all. We do have a couple places to go to but all in all it will be a couple of relaxing days as the following 2 weekends will be crazy busy! Mom will tell you about them as the weekends get closer!
Last night was a good night. Mom & Mark had dinner & then I cleaned up the dinner dishes. We had a glass of wine & watched some TV. We decided to turn in about 8:30 pm when the phone rang & it was Grandpa. We talked to him until 10 pm. After the call Mom went to bed while Mark stayed up for a little while longer. Grandpa is good. Debbie is good. I think that he is having a hard time adjusting to Debbie working all week now & not having Wednesdays off like she used to. She now has every weekend off instead. I wish Grandpa had the weekends off as well too. I wish he didn't work so much. Mom really hopes that he sticks to what he said last year & retires for good at the end of the year. Mom also spoke to Meme last night for a bit. She is feeling a little better. She sounds really tired though. Mom wishes she would retire as well. Both her & Grandpa have always been hard workers all their lives. Now it is time for them to enjoy life. Mom wishes she had the money to do just that for them. Maybe some day I can win the megabucks to make that happen! Mom will touch base with them in a couple of days to see how they are. Aunt Beck is busy busy busy doing all kinds of new things...exciting things for her! Bean is doing well. She texted me today. I will probably chat with her tonight or over the weekend. Everything else is good. Mom will have more updates for you probably over the weekend. For now here is a couple sayings for the day:
" Invest in yourself. Meditate. Read. Eat healthy food. Drink water. Move your body. Spend time in nature. Rest up. You are worthy. "
"Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future. "
Well, it is that time of the day again & you know what that means.... time to get going, shut the computer off for the night, feed the pups & get dinner started for Mark & I. This day has flown by so fast. It is already after 4 pm. The sun now doesn't set until almost 5 pm which is amazing! Hopefully Mom will see the moon & stars tonight as today was sunny & clear with blue skies. Mom will be looking later to see if I see them. I will whisper to you as I always do so be listening for my voice. Smile to Mom when you hear me & I will smile right back to you my sweet precious son. I miss you so much & I love you more than words can say. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. Forever & always my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Always, you will live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then..... have a wonderful night doing all the things you need to & want to do. Come visit Mom if you can. Thanks Tyler. Continue to fly high & free. Please continue to watch over us like I know you do. Thank you pumpkin. I love you unconditionally. Good night & sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here are the prayers for the day:
May you allow Jesus to lead you to edges of your comfort zone and give you a fresh vision for where He's taking you. May you put everything on the table and give Him permission to rearrange your life. May you dare to open your hands, look up, and breathe a prayer of thanks right in the midst of this uncertain time, knowing that He's far kinder than you can fathom and far greater than you ever imagined. Can you sense Jesus' invitation to join Him on this adventure of faith? Will you trust Him? Choose joy this day. God wants to do a deep and profound work in and through you! Your security is found in HIM!
May the Holy Spirit detoxify your soul! May He show you what habits, thoughts, and actions need to go so the Lord can strengthen you for the road ahead. May you sense the holy-invitation before you. May you get a glimpse of His plan for you; just enough to inspire you to make the necessary changes, take the necessary steps, and grab a firm hold of His promises. May you be willing to do something different so you'll be ready and equipped for this next place of promise. He's got a new chapter ahead for you. May you care enough about your story to leave the lesser things behind. You're so precious and important to Him! Blessings on your night tonight!
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom has been up since the sunrise this morning. Another day that the pups have woken us up at the crack of dawn. Mark & Mom got right up though & fed the pups & got coffee going for Mark as well. Mom took some pictures of the sunrise this morning. It sure was a beautiful painting in the sky. I smile really big every time I see one. Guess Mom is a sucker for sunrises & sunsets but you already knew that! Anyways.... yesterday was really a tough day with being on the phone & trying to get the internet to work. Today, unfortunately was no exception. It started doing the same thing again. Poor Mark has been working on it again all day trying to come up with solutions to try & make it work again. The whole thing is a pain in the arse! Mom wishes that I could help find some solutions but I just seem to get in Mark's way so I just stay away & let him do his thing. Mom took the day & studied. I have managed to read both my chapters & answer 60 questions on my next exam. Tomorrow I will work on the last 4 questions as they are super intense. Many parts to the questions & I want a fresh mind set when I do them. I think that within 3 days I was able to do all this... I am on a roll once again. Mom got her grade for the exam I submitted the other day. I got an 86%. I was really happy with that but upset when I saw that I would have got a 91% if I had seen the mistake that I did. I had put the same answer in 2 of my questions so my instructor docked me 5 points for that. I am happy with the grade that I got though. Hopefully this one will be just the same. Any way I look at it, I am hoping to just pass the dang course at this point so that I can more on to my next class. Tomorrow, Mark will be at the office so it will be a day of things being pretty quiet here for Mom. Next week Mark will be gone almost all week to customer sites so I will have lots of quiet time to study. Tomorrow is already Friday! This week kind of went by fast! This weekend will be just a weekend for us to kick back & really do nothing at all. We do have a couple places to go to but all in all it will be a couple of relaxing days as the following 2 weekends will be crazy busy! Mom will tell you about them as the weekends get closer!
Last night was a good night. Mom & Mark had dinner & then I cleaned up the dinner dishes. We had a glass of wine & watched some TV. We decided to turn in about 8:30 pm when the phone rang & it was Grandpa. We talked to him until 10 pm. After the call Mom went to bed while Mark stayed up for a little while longer. Grandpa is good. Debbie is good. I think that he is having a hard time adjusting to Debbie working all week now & not having Wednesdays off like she used to. She now has every weekend off instead. I wish Grandpa had the weekends off as well too. I wish he didn't work so much. Mom really hopes that he sticks to what he said last year & retires for good at the end of the year. Mom also spoke to Meme last night for a bit. She is feeling a little better. She sounds really tired though. Mom wishes she would retire as well. Both her & Grandpa have always been hard workers all their lives. Now it is time for them to enjoy life. Mom wishes she had the money to do just that for them. Maybe some day I can win the megabucks to make that happen! Mom will touch base with them in a couple of days to see how they are. Aunt Beck is busy busy busy doing all kinds of new things...exciting things for her! Bean is doing well. She texted me today. I will probably chat with her tonight or over the weekend. Everything else is good. Mom will have more updates for you probably over the weekend. For now here is a couple sayings for the day:
" Invest in yourself. Meditate. Read. Eat healthy food. Drink water. Move your body. Spend time in nature. Rest up. You are worthy. "
"Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future. "
Well, it is that time of the day again & you know what that means.... time to get going, shut the computer off for the night, feed the pups & get dinner started for Mark & I. This day has flown by so fast. It is already after 4 pm. The sun now doesn't set until almost 5 pm which is amazing! Hopefully Mom will see the moon & stars tonight as today was sunny & clear with blue skies. Mom will be looking later to see if I see them. I will whisper to you as I always do so be listening for my voice. Smile to Mom when you hear me & I will smile right back to you my sweet precious son. I miss you so much & I love you more than words can say. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. Forever & always my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Always, you will live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then..... have a wonderful night doing all the things you need to & want to do. Come visit Mom if you can. Thanks Tyler. Continue to fly high & free. Please continue to watch over us like I know you do. Thank you pumpkin. I love you unconditionally. Good night & sweet dreams.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is doing okay today. We are having some issues & troubles with our internet, phone & cable today so Mark & I are trying to trouble shoot what the problem can be. Mom has contacted the cable company as well so hopefully it will get fixed soon. Mom is able to write to you right now because I logged into this when we had internet & started just as the system crashed again. I am hoping to write to you & then when we have connection again I can send it & post it. Just craziness here. Glad it is a slow day for Mark at work because he needs internet access to do his job. Mom is not able to do any school work either as I need the internet for my exam. Guess I will have the day off & work on it tomorrow.
The weather today is sunny & the temps are chilly. The skies are blue with big puffy clouds. Mom took the pups for a walk & they enjoyed it outside. Mom is hoping that the weather stays the way that it is so that I am able to go outside with them daily again. They miss it & so do I. Hopefully the night sky will be clear so that maybe I can see the stars & moon shining bright tonight. It has been a couple nights since there has been anything in the sky because of all the rain we have had. Most of the snow banks that we had last week are almost all melted away. That is a great sign but Mom is not going to get all happy just yet. We still have another month of winter & usually February is brutal. Lets hope this year is different!
Last night was kind of a tough one for Mom. I wasn't feeling the greatest at all & I called on you to help me out. Thank you for being with me & doing all that you could. Mom also called on Arch Angel Raphael to help out. Mom felt a little better around 8 pm & I was just so exhausted from not feeling good that I went to bed at 10 pm & actually slept all night long. I woke up feeling pretty good this morning & I am doing alright so far. Every once in awhile I get a few nagging pains in my head & then it goes away. Hopefully in the next day or so it will be gone for good. Anything else you can continue to do to help Mom out would be gladly appreciated. Thank you my sweet precious son. Grandpa called last night but I had to just let the phone ring. I felt terrible but I will call him back this evening & explain to him what happened. everyone else seems to be doing alright. Hopefully Mom will have some more updates for you in the next couple of days. Mom does have a couple sayings for you for the day. Here they are:
" Everything is unfolding PERFECTLY and as you RELAX and find EASE. In your attitude of TRUST KNOWING that WELL-BEING is your BIRTH-RIGHT AMAZING things will happen. Things the likes of which YOU have not seen before....."
" I'm a SURVIVOR. A living example of what people can go through & survive. "
"" Don't be afraid to start over. It's a chance to build something better this time! "
Mom hopes that you have a peaceful & wonderful night tonight doing all the things that are asked of you, need to do & also what you may want to do. Come visit with me in my dreams, be with Mom tonight or both. Mom would love that. I love you. I love you unconditionally. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. Always my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Forever you will be living inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom will whisper to you later this evening when I light the candle & also when I go to bed. I will smile when I whisper to you & I hope you smile every time you hear Mom's voice. I miss you beyond any words could ever say to you or anyone but I think you can feel it in your soul & that is all that matters. Mom tries so hard to not be sad that you are no longer here. Some days are better than others though. Bare with me on the days that are not so easy. Mom's life is so different now. Some of it is good & I no longer need to worry about a lot of things like I did before but other parts are made of sadness, loss & emptiness. These are the things that Mom is trying to continue to work on. I guess it will always be a work in progress for me. Just know, Tyler, that I am trying every day & one day it will get better!
Mom is going to have to go for now & try to post this letter to you. Hopefully tomorrow will be better & everything will be fixed. Until then.... good night & sweet dreams later this evening. I will write to you again tomorrow. I love you my bright shining star.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here are the prayers for the day:
May this be a breakthrough year for you! You’ve sown a lot of seeds over the years: seeds of kindness, courage, faithfulness, and generosity, seeds of forgiveness, mercy, and grace. May you see a bountiful, record harvest in the days ahead! May God breathe life into your efforts and may you see acceleration all around. May loved ones suddenly engage with God on a deeper level. May your work suddenly become blessed and favored. May your offerings miraculously multiply. And, may you know a deeper rest in those places where you’ve struggled for so long. May God’s breakthrough and blessing be upon your household this year. Blessings on your day today.
Though most of the world has no clue what your call has cost you, Jesus does. Though few know how valiantly you’ve marched onward, even with a broken heart, Jesus knows. Though others may wrongly assess your struggles, Jesus sees you clearly, loves you dearly, and defends you fearlessly. One day God will vindicate you. One day, He’ll fully restore you. One day, He’ll claim you, bless you, and honor you before a watching world. Though you have troubles in this world, you will overcome them all. A bright future awaits you. Don’t lose heart. Sleep well tonight.
PS Today is Spencer & Adam's Birthdays. I know you will make it a point to send them a sign or go visit them in your special way today. Mom wished them a Happy Birthday already! I know they were like brothers to you. They still feel that way about you!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? The weather today is worse than what it was yesterday. The rain is so heavy & the wind is whipping at 25+mph right now. It has been foggy all day long as well. It was so dark that we have had to have lights on all day just to see what we were doing. It states that tomorrow is suppose to be sunny & Mom sure hopes so as this weather is playing havoc with my face & bones.
Mom was again up at 6:30 am feeding the pups & getting coffee made for Mark. Being up at that time 2 mornings in a row sucks. Last night Mom didn't sleep very well at all because the pups were hogging the bed...lol. Hopefully tonight I will be able to get some sleep that I really need. If you can help Mom out or be with me tonight that would be wonderful. Thank you my sweet precious son.
Today, Mom made blueberry muffins, did those dishes, got ready & then came right in for day 2 of studying. I have managed to read the next chapter, did the practice exercises & answered 32 questions on my exam. Tomorrow I will be reading the next chapter & hopefully finishing up the 4th exam in this class. I am on a roll that is for sure. I am back to doing what I said that I was going to do. I am pretty proud of myself. mark has been busting butt today as well. Working since 7 am & on the phones all day long. This week will be a quiet one for him but he has a very important call on Friday. Mom's fingers are crossed for him. Any guidance that you can be for Mark would gladly be appreciated. Thank you, Tyler. Everything you do for Mom, Mark & our family does not go unnoticed. I see it all & Mom is forever grateful.
Last night was a quiet night. Mom made dinner, fed the pups, did the dishes & then pretty much relaxed for the night & went to bed at 10 pm. I did get the chance to chat with Meme for a few minutes. She was tired & I wanted to just check in on her to see how she was doing. She said she felt like crap but she actually sounded better than Sunday. I will let her rest for a couple nights & call her again to see how she is doing. Mom will touch base with everyone else later in the week or over the weekend. I am sure everyone is just as busy as Mom & just wants to relax during the evenings like I do. I did find out that a classmate of Moms passed away on January 11th from a brief illness. He was 48 years old & such a nice guy. Mom remembers him from school. Just really sad. May Tom R.I.P. for eternal life now & fly high & free with you & the Angels. Another piece of sad news was that our neighbor in Charlestown that lived across the street from us, Rand ( he lived with Raven & Sherry ) passed away last night. I saw that his obituary was in the paper today. He was always so nice to us. Always talking to both you & Mom when he saw us & remember how he loved Max & Snickers? He would always chuckle when seeing them. I knew that Raven & Sherry moved out of the park a couple years ago & I guess decided to get an RV & live on the road. Last time I knew they were in Las Vegas living. I often wondered how Rand was doing & where he went when they moved away. May Rand R. I. P. for eternal life now & also fly high & free with you & the Angels. That is all that I have for you today. Sorry it wasn't a lot of good news. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Mom will light a candle for you, our family & friends, pets, Tom, & Rand tonight. Mom will whisper to you later this evening as well. I hope when you hear my voice you will smile & I will smile back to you. Always remember that you are forever my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Mom misses you like crazy & I love you more than all the stars in the sky. To the moon & back & all the way around the world.
Here is the sayings for the day:
Make this the year you stop complaining about your weaknesses & instead search for their God-Given purpose.
Do you know what makes you a Hero? The fact you give the world another chance every day. That's what makes you a Hero!
Mom needs to get going for now as it is going on 3:30 pm & I have a few things that I need to do before I get the pups fed for the night & get dinner going for Mark & I. I will be back tomorrow with another to you. Mom hopes that your night will be everything you need & want it to be. Have fun while I sleep & come visit me again in my dreams. Thanks pumpkin! Good night & sweet dreams my bright shining star.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here are the prayers for the day:
May you look around and notice all of the answers to prayer you enjoy because of prayers you prayed some time ago. May the breakthroughs you've experienced and the open doors you've walked through compel you to pray with more fervency, specificity, and tenacity. God loves your faith. He loves your heart. He loves it when you pray. He's very protective of you and won't give you something that's not good for you. He makes you wait because He's making you ready. Trust your whole soul and story to Him. And keep praying. God is moving, even when you can't see it. One day, your faith will become sight. A blessed, beautiful, and prayerful day to you today!
Sometimes, in fact, most times, we need a fresh gift of faith to face our current battles. May Jesus give you fresh faith! May you begin to see things from His perspective. May His very presence bring joy and strength to your heart. You don’t have to see His answers to believe that He has them for you. You don’t have to know how He’ll intervene to believe that He will. May faith reframe your perspective and bring rest to your heart tonight. And, may the answer come when you least expect it. God is moving on your behalf. You can trust Him. Sleep well tonight.
