Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is doing okay today! I was up early this morning & out the door by 10:45 am to go to my nail appointment. The weather started out being sunny & now it is clouding up as we are headed for a snow storm tomorrow. Weatherman says a covering to 2" here but the way the sky looks I think we will get more than that. Mom always says that everything is the opposite when it comes to snow in New England. If it calls for a Nor'Eastern we get close to nothing & if they say just a couple of inches, we get a dang blizzard. Guess we shall wait & see. The snow is suppose to start around 1 am tomorrow morning & be done by 12 noon. Mom will let you know when I write to you tomorrow.
Mom just got home a little bit ago from being out. When I got home I decided to take the pups for a walk. The weather is just cold but they really enjoyed it a lot. Mom enjoyed it as well. Now I am having a snack ( raspberry yogurt with fresh raspberries ) & writing to you. It is already 3 pm. Today just flew right by that is for sure. Tomorrow will be the first day of studying all day long again as Mark put the data back on my computer. I am refreshed & ready to go! Mom knows that you will be right by my side as well! Mom did not talk on the phone at all yesterday as Mark worked from 7 am to 9:30 pm. That whole time he was on the phone talking. Literally on the phone with clients all day & then he had the remote cut over. Poor guy didn't even have 15 minutes to eat dinner last night. Mom was in bed by 10 pm & sleeping by 11 pm. I did get the chance to chat on the computer with Aunt Beck today. She is busy with work & doing lots of research on our family history for her upcoming trip to Italy. Mom can't wait to find out everything. This is very interesting to me. We are going to chat on the phone tomorrow morning. Mom is sure that Meme & Grandpa will touch base with Mom later this evening so I will fill you in on things tomorrow as well.
Mom's office is now all put together & I love it! I started to tell you that on yesterdays letter. This room fits me better & it is not so big or cold for that matter. Mark is now enjoying his new office & the rearranging has really helped us both out! Mom can have the TV going or music playing & it doesn't seem to bother Mark while he is working which is an added bonus because before I could not do that. My office ( now ) is right off the master bedroom & kitchen where my old office is on the other side of the apartment. Mom has pictures of you on my shelves with an angel pin & the pictures are surrounded by Jack. I hope the way I did it makes you smile. I look at them all the time. It makes me smile at times & then other times it makes me sad. Mom can't believe that in 5 months it will be 5 years since you left the physical world. Just doesn't seem possible for the time to go by so fast. Mom was thinking about it the other day that I have been doing this blog for almost 5 years as well. I started it July 2013.... just 2 weeks after you passed. Mom will continue to write to you until I get a sign from you or a message saying it is time to stop.
Well, that is all I have for today but here is a saying for the day:
" As you are shifting, you will begin to realize that you are not the same person you used to be. The things you used to tolerate have now become intolerable. Where you once remained quiet, you are now speaking the truth. Where you once battled & argued, you are now choosing to remain silent. You are beginning to understand the value of your voice & there are some situations that no longer deserve your time, energy & focus. "
Oh that saying is so true, Tyler. So many things have become different for Mom in the last 6 years. I am such a different person these days. Some like me, some love me & some dislike me & that is okay. Mom has learned to live with that now. Things I understand at this point in my life I wish I would have known way back when but everything happens in the time it is suppose to. Mom knows I have a lot more to learn & I am ready to learn it all!
Tonight I will whisper to you as I always do. I hope that your evening will be everything you need & want it to be. If you can, come be with Mom while I sleep tonight or come visit me in my dreams. Either way or both is great for me! Smile when you hear my voice & I will smile back to you. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are missed so much by Mom & so many family & friends. You will always be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Forever you will live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. We may be apart in the physical world but we will always remain connected.... it will always be you & I for the world..not against it! Well, Mom will be back tomorrow afternoon with another letter to you but for now I have to get the night stuff started. Good night & sweet dreams.... until tomorrow.....
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here are the prayers for the day:
May God Himself lift you up and make you strong. May He intervene where you cannot. May He shine His light on the enemy's schemes. May He confuse the enemy's plans and profoundly answer your prayers. May He establish you in His highest and best purposes for your life. You matter deeply to Him. May your whole life be a faith-adventure! Blessings on your day.
May you walk in Christ's authority, rest in His care, and live under His divine protection. May you pray with passion, speak with precision, and listen with discernment. May you have the grit and grace to go after everything God has promised you. You have all you need to live an other-worldly life in Jesus! Have a great night.
