Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you on this Saturday morning? Mom has about 10 minutes to write to you before everyone gets here for the weekend. I was crazy busy this morning already. I did all the usual things plus I made triple berry muffins & blueberry bread for when they get here so they have something to snack on. Guess we are going to go shopping & then out to have a late lunch/early dinner & then back here to relax for the evening. Tomorrow instead of Mom cooking we are going to go out to eat for Easter dinner. Heck of a lot easier for Mom that is for sure. It should be a fun time & Mom is looking forward to it very much!
Well Tyler, Mom started this letter to you in the morning & as I started everyone showed up so I have decided to finish it while everyone is in bed sleeping. It is only 9:18 pm & every one is completely wiped out from today. We had a good time shopping, going to lunch & then coming back home. Mom helped Meme & Bob get their tablets set up & then Mom got Meme’s cell phone activated for her while Mark helped Bob with a few things & then helped Debbie with her laptop. Mom eyes are bugging me right now & I am typing this letter to you on my cell phone... lol! Tomorrow we will all get up, have breakfast that I will cook & then head to Easter lunch. We will come back home after & visit for a bit & then it will be time for everyone to head out. Time goes by so fast. It has been fun having them here & Mom will be sad when they all have to head back home but we will see them again in May.
Mom hopes that your evening is filled with everything you need & want it to be. Come be with me if you can. Thank you my sweet precious son. Mom misses 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. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you & it will be longer. I will have a saying & a prayer as well. It is really tough to do on a cell phone. Mom is so sorry but I wanted to at least finish this letter to you tonight instead of not posting one at all. I know you understand & I thank you for that. Mom is going to get going & get some rest as I know I will be up early in the morning. Until tomorrow.... good night & sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Today is Good Friday. That means Easter is in two days...Sunday. It will be Mom's 5th one without you. Every day is tough without you but Holidays are even tougher. It never gets easy that is for sure. Meme, Bob, Grandpa & Debbie will be here Saturday morning & will be spending the weekend with us so that will help Mom out. I sure hope that you will send a sign to let me know that you are near. Thank you.
The weather today is really overcast, cloudy, gray & rainy. The sun peeked out for a few seconds but that was about it. Guess it is suppose to rain off & on all weekend. The temps are nice though. It is 60 degrees here & the weekend will be in the mid 50's. I can say that any place that had snow on it, it is all melted except for the snow banks. If the temps stay nice & the rain hits them then I will assume we will have the snow banks for probably a couple more weeks & they will be gone as well. We have a tree directly across our balcony & Mom has been watching it daily. It now has little tiny leaves on it. It wasn't like that a couple days ago. It is neat to watch but crazy all at the same time. The birds are certainly chirping away a lot lately. That sure is a nice sound to hear. Spring is in the air for sure. Mom has done quite a bit today. I was up early & made breakfast, did laundry, gave the pups a bath, dusted, got ready, cleaned the outside furniture off, did a few things on the computer & now I am writing to you. Later, I will fold the laundry & put it away, fed the pups in a few hours & then make dinner for Mark & I. Tonight will be a relaxing night as I will be going to bed early so that I can be completely ready for everyone when they get here tomorrow morning. Mom is planning on making muffins & having assorted cookies & coffee for when every one gets here! Not sure what we will do during the day or evening but just being with them & visiting will make Mom very happy.
Mom chatted with Meme & Grandpa last night. Everyone is feeling better & doing well. They are excited to be coming here as well. It is always nice to get away for a day or so & just relax. We will think of something to do...we always do! Mark & Mom even went out & did Easter Baskets for everyone. I think they will be surprised & happy with the little things we got them!!!
Mom is hoping that your evening tonight will be all that you need & want it to be. May you get the chance to come be with Mom & sit beside her or visit me in my dreams. I sure would like that my sweet precious son. Thank you for watching over us all like I know you do daily. It means so much to have you do that. I miss you bunches. More than I could ever express & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You forever will be the wind beneath my wings & my hero. Always, you will live inside my heart, mind, body & soul.
Mark is out today with his friend, Rick. They decided to go to lunch over near where Mark's office is. Mom was invited as well but declined so that I could just have some time alone to clean & do whatever I wanted. It is peaceful right now. The pups are both sleeping & it is really quiet outside. Mom is listening to Secret Garden while typing to you. It is relaxing for sure. I am clearly enjoying my last day of vacation. Monday will be back to hitting the books & taking the long awaited final exam. I am ready to do this & get it done! No matter what happens I with my grade in this class, I will pass it so that makes Mom happy. That is all I really wanted. I have several other classes to keep my grade in a solid A so I am not worried in the least. My goal is to get the last 10 classes done in 8 weeks. That is pushing it but I think I can do it! I know you will be with Mom through it all & I can't thank you enough!
Well, Tyler.... Mom has a few more things to do before it is time to start the night routine stuff so I must get going. Before I go here is a saying for the day:
" Dear Beautiful you, You must not be afraid to start a new chapter.... Yes, new beginnings can be scary, endings can be difficult, but your life is meant to be lived & YOUR story is still unfolding.... So go ahead & turn the page.... Your next chapter is waiting...."
Mom will be back tomorrow morning with another letter to you before everyone arrives & I will do a letter to you Sunday evening before our skype call with Tubal & Karen. Until tomorrow morning.... good night & sweet dreams to you my bright shining star. Mom will whisper to you later this evening so smile when you hear me & I will return a smile to you. Watch for that candle burning as well. It is for you. I love you with all my heart.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here are the prayers:
Maybe you’ve sensed the winds of change starting to blow. Does it stir up fear, the thought of letting go? May you take a deep breath, and remember what you already know about the heart of God: He is good, He is for you, and it’s impossible for Him to fail you. Now exhale your fears and lay hold of faith. That land up ahead is a pleasant land, filled with promise, fresh with purpose. Do not fear change; instead, trust God. He’s only answering your prayers. You can trust Him.
Jesus was a man of sorrows, a friend of sinners, and the One who came to save the world. He bore our sin and made us His heirs. He took the blame and cleared our name. Whatever your past sins, whatever your losses, whatever your hurts, whatever you’ve been through, remember today that your Redeemer is greater still. Jesus obliterated the enemy’s power to destroy your life. He can try, but he’ll never succeed. In Christ, you’re forgiven. You’re loved. And You're redeemed. You’re on your way to a brilliant eternity you cannot imagine and there’s nothing the enemy can do about it. Death has given way to life. Victory has a Name and it’s Jesus! Resurrection power is alive in you! Easter blessings to you this weekend!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom is so sorry that again I didn't write you a letter yesterday. Honestly, I have no good reason to why I didn't. I never turned my computer on at all yesterday. Mom did a lot of cleaning yesterday, vacuumed the car out, washed it down as it was sunny & nice out, I also got things ready for the weekend, made a nice dinner for Mark & I & we watched a movie last night. After the movie, I couldn't even concentrate on anything as you were on my mind the whole time. The movie was based on a true story & it was called Breathe. It was such a difficult movie for Mom to watch but it was excellent. Boy, I cried so hard at the end. That whole movie was our life. The things you went through, the things Mom went through with you. As hard as it was to watch, I was so glad that I did. Everyone should watch that movie. Mark even looked at Mom during the movie & said... " This was your life with Tyler " & I said" yes it was. " Mom won't go into too much of it but the movie was done in 1957 in England. A man falling in love with a woman, they get married, they have a child & at 28 yrs. old he contracts Polio. He becomes a quadriplegic/ventilator dependent man. He wants nothing to do with living & wants to die but his wife won't give up on him. She cares for him 24 hrs a day because there we no nurses. He is the gentleman that invents the wheelchair & the lift for vans in the 1960's. He lives the best life he can with his wife, son & friends & family but as the years go by he gets sick more & it lasts longer. His wish again is to die & his wish gets fulfilled. He is the longest living human being with a disability back in those days. He lived for 13 years when doctors said if he left the hospital he would not make it more than 2 weeks. This mans name is Robin Cavendish. What a remarkable man..... just like you Tyler. What a hero..... just like you are mine. The movie hit me so hard but made me laugh & smile as well. I love you so much my sweet precious son. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. I miss you more than words can say. You live in my heart, mind, body & soul every day & every night. Mom always talks about you to every one. Even though I didn't write to you last night, I whispered to you many times. Did you hear Mom? I sure hope so. I will do it again later this evening. Be listening out for me & when you hear Mom, smile for me & I will smile right back to you.I will light the candle for you tonight as well. When you see it burning, know it is for you pumpkin.
Mom really doesn't have a lot of updates for you as I haven't been chatty with anyone at all this week. I have spoken to Grandpa & Meme a couple times but it has been quick. I spoke to Aunt Beck today. She is going great & is getting super excited as the count down is on for Italy. We had a great conversation. We laughed a lot as well. It was nice. Vacation is coming to an end for Mark. It went by too fast but he did get a lot of things done that were needed so all in all it was productive. Today we didn't do much because the weather looked like rain. He went for a haircut & I got my nails done. After that we came home. We were going to walk along the ocean this afternoon but by the time we got done it was sprinkling rain. Mark has been playing his game with his brother while I have been chatting with Aunt Beck & Bonnie. Now I am writing to you & in a few minutes I will be feeding the pups & getting dinner for Mark & I. Tonight will be a relaxing night of doing nothing. Tomorrow Mark will be going to lunch with his friend, Rick & Mom will be cleaning & getting things set for everyone Saturday. They will be here in the morning. Mom is excited! Please send a sign to us all to let us know you are near. Mom would love that.
I sure hope that your evening tonight will be what you need & want it to be. Have fun while Mom is sleeping. Come sit with me or visit me if you can. Thank you so much. Mom will be back tomorrow with a letter, I promise. Before I go tonight. here is a saying for the day:
Struggling with life's downs can leave you feeling sad, blue sometimes. But remember, you are strong & capable. So today, gather up your strength & know you will get through it, one step at a time.
Mom needs to get going for now but know you are everything to me. You are my bright shining star, Tyler! I love you!
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here are the prayers for the day:
If you’re in an impossible situation and you don’t know what to do, maybe it’s time to rise up in faith and speak to the mountain that stands in your way. Maybe it’s time to hold your ground and ask the Lord to fight for you. In fact, may you know PEACE in this place, like never before! May the JOY of the Lord strengthen you to stand and dream as you pray and contend for your breakthrough. You will get through this. You can count on the Lord to be faithful to His Word. Walk in faith today.
May you find shelter beneath the shadow of God's wing tonight. May you be wise enough to stay in His established space for you, trusting He'll move you to your next place when the timing is right. May His grace empower you to live abundantly, to stand strong, and to pray powerfully. May your honor for Him compel you to trust Him when your trials seem truer than His Word. He will not fail you, will not forget about you, and will not turn away from you. He's with you in battle, He'll help you when your heart breaks, and He'll deliver you and bless you before a watching world when the time is right. Trust Him. You're so very dear to His heart. Rest well tonight. All is well.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. Today was a pretty down day for me as I didn't really do much of anything. mark had some things to do this morning & Mom stayed home & did some little cleaning & rearranging that I wanted to get done. I made a nice breakfast this morning, did those dishes, got ready, finally put family & friends into the phones, took the pups for a wonderful walk & now I am writing to you. I also had a conversation with Bonnie as well & around 4 pm I will be chatting with my friend Christina while I am prepping dinner for this evening. I was suppose to call her last night but honestly between running around all day long, being up early yesterday morning & having to do dinner, clean up... Mom was exhausted by 6 pm & I was ready for bed. I had a massive headache as well. Guess I dozed off for a bit on the couch, Mark said. I woke up around 8:30 pm & then back to sleep by 10 pm. I woke up this morning around 7 am & felt better. Tonight will be a nice dinner, maybe a drink & some TV. Tomorrow Mark has a couple things that he needs to do again in the morning & Mom will stay home & probably do some studying while he is gone. The rest of the day... not sure. Not much to really do, honestly... guess we will cross that bridge when we get to it. I think the rest of the week will be pretty much the same. Mom does have cleaning & stuff to do before everyone is here this weekend so I have that to keep me busy for the day time. Mom was hoping that we would be able to do some day things during this vacation but because of yesterday that is not going to happen. I guess I can't do anything about it so... so be it. Mom is bummed a bit but oh well. Maybe another time. No use getting all upset about it when I can not do anything to change things, ya know?
Anyways.... Mom spoke to Meme this morning on her break. She is sick with a nasty cold. She said she came down with it yesterday & is hoping that it will go away in a couple days. If not she & Bob will not be coming down for Easter weekend as she doesn't want to get anyone else sick. That is a bummer as well but I completely understand what she means as both Mark, Debbie & Grandpa have been sick enough this winter. Mom will definitely say some prayers for Meme in hopes of her being better to come here. Everyone else seems to be doing well as far as I know. Grandpa hasn't called much in the last few days so I will have to give him a jingle tonight or tomorrow night. I will touch base with Aunt Beck as well tomorrow. She must be getting so excited because her trip to Italy is coming up in 2 1/2 weeks. Wow... that went by so freakin fast! Mom can't wait to hear all about it & see pictures. she will have an amazing time! I know you will be with her as well. Send her the signs. She will love it! Not much else is going on these last few days. I guess everyone is laying low or enjoying the weather that we are getting where there is no more snow flying. It is all about the sun shining & blue skies & melting all that white stuff away! It's been melting here nicely. Most of the places have very little snow left but the snow banks are still so high. That is going to take a few rains & a few warm days to melt them away but hoping within the next couple of weeks that will happen! Mom's fingers are crossed for that one!
Mom is hoping that you evening will be filled with everything that you need & would like it to be. I hope you have fun flying around & fulfilling everything that you need to do while Mom is sleeping tonight. Come by & visit me in my dreams or sit beside me for a bit if you have the time. Thank 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. You will always be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Forever you are in my heart, mind, body & soul. I will whisper to you later this evening so be listening out for me. I will smile to you & hopes that you are smiling back to Mom. I sure miss that smile, Tyler! I started a new candle last night. It sure burned bright. It says...Love is all you need! Every time you see that burning bright at night, just know it is for you & all our loved ones that are with you now.
Here is the sayings for the day: " If you can't figure out your purpose. Figure out your passion. For passion will lead you right into your purpose. "
" Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tip toe if you must, but take the step. "
Mom is going to get going for now as it is 4 pm & I need to make that call to my friend before I forget again & if I did that would not be cool. I will be back tomorrow to write to you again. Until then.... good night & sweet dreams my bright shining star. I love you more than all the stars in the sky! Never forget that & always feel it deep in your soul.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here are the prayers for the day:
May God answer your accumulative prayers for the ones you love. May He open their eyes, heal their wounds, and restore their perspective. May He cut off every person and circumstance that sends a lying message to them and make their crooked ways straight. May He arrange circumstances and people to bring life-giving, soul-restoring truths until they're totally free! May He restore the weary, heal the broken, and bring the prodigals home. And may you wait with joyful expectancy because God moves when you pray. Rest in the promise that God loves your loved one far more passionately than you do!
May you step back today and give time and space to consider this truth: No circumstance, no enemy, no opposition can keep you from God's best purpose for you! Your unbelief is the only roadblock you have to deal with. God can do in a moment what takes us years to accomplish. Consider afresh what impossible things Jesus wants to do in and through you. Kneel, if you can. Open your hands. Look past your frustrations and consider His promises. As the day progresses, may Jesus find faith and expectancy in your heart. And may He download fresh insights tonight while you sleep. Bless you!

Tomorrow Mark has a couple things that he needs to do again in the morning & Mom will stay home & probably do some studying while he is gone. The rest of the day... not sure. Not much to really do, honestly... guess we will cross that bridge when we get to it. I think the rest of the week will be pretty much the same. Mom does have cleaning & stuff to do before everyone is here this weekend so I have that to keep me busy for the day time. Mom was hoping that we would be able to do some day things during this vacation but because of yesterday that is not going to happen. I guess I can't do anything about it so... so be it. Mom is bummed a bit but oh well. Maybe another time. No use getting all upset about it when I can not do anything to change things, ya know?
Anyways.... Mom spoke to Meme this morning on her break. She is sick with a nasty cold. She said she came down with it yesterday & is hoping that it will go away in a couple days. If not she & Bob will not be coming down for Easter weekend as she doesn't want to get anyone else sick. That is a bummer as well but I completely understand what she means as both Mark, Debbie & Grandpa have been sick enough this winter. Mom will definitely say some prayers for Meme in hopes of her being better to come here. Everyone else seems to be doing well as far as I know. Grandpa hasn't called much in the last few days so I will have to give him a jingle tonight or tomorrow night. I will touch base with Aunt Beck as well tomorrow. She must be getting so excited because her trip to Italy is coming up in 2 1/2 weeks. Wow... that went by so freakin fast! Mom can't wait to hear all about it & see pictures. she will have an amazing time! I know you will be with her as well. Send her the signs. She will love it! Not much else is going on these last few days. I guess everyone is laying low or enjoying the weather that we are getting where there is no more snow flying. It is all about the sun shining & blue skies & melting all that white stuff away! It's been melting here nicely. Most of the places have very little snow left but the snow banks are still so high. That is going to take a few rains & a few warm days to melt them away but hoping within the next couple of weeks that will happen! Mom's fingers are crossed for that one!
Mom is hoping that you evening will be filled with everything that you need & would like it to be. I hope you have fun flying around & fulfilling everything that you need to do while Mom is sleeping tonight. Come by & visit me in my dreams or sit beside me for a bit if you have the time. Thank 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. You will always be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Forever you are in my heart, mind, body & soul. I will whisper to you later this evening so be listening out for me. I will smile to you & hopes that you are smiling back to Mom. I sure miss that smile, Tyler! I started a new candle last night. It sure burned bright. It says...Love is all you need! Every time you see that burning bright at night, just know it is for you & all our loved ones that are with you now.
Here is the sayings for the day: " If you can't figure out your purpose. Figure out your passion. For passion will lead you right into your purpose. "
" Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tip toe if you must, but take the step. "
Mom is going to get going for now as it is 4 pm & I need to make that call to my friend before I forget again & if I did that would not be cool. I will be back tomorrow to write to you again. Until then.... good night & sweet dreams my bright shining star. I love you more than all the stars in the sky! Never forget that & always feel it deep in your soul.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here are the prayers for the day:
May God answer your accumulative prayers for the ones you love. May He open their eyes, heal their wounds, and restore their perspective. May He cut off every person and circumstance that sends a lying message to them and make their crooked ways straight. May He arrange circumstances and people to bring life-giving, soul-restoring truths until they're totally free! May He restore the weary, heal the broken, and bring the prodigals home. And may you wait with joyful expectancy because God moves when you pray. Rest in the promise that God loves your loved one far more passionately than you do!
May you step back today and give time and space to consider this truth: No circumstance, no enemy, no opposition can keep you from God's best purpose for you! Your unbelief is the only roadblock you have to deal with. God can do in a moment what takes us years to accomplish. Consider afresh what impossible things Jesus wants to do in and through you. Kneel, if you can. Open your hands. Look past your frustrations and consider His promises. As the day progresses, may Jesus find faith and expectancy in your heart. And may He download fresh insights tonight while you sleep. Bless you!

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is so tired but I am doing alright. I have been up since early this morning watching the sunrise, getting the pups fed, making coffee, getting snacks ready for our little road trip today, getting ready, walking the pups & heading out the door at 9:45 am! The weather is beautiful but chilly & windy. The skies are blue & the sun is shining so bright. Mark & Mom headed off for about an hour or so drive this morning. We reached our appointment exactly at 11 am & we were there until 2 pm. We were there a lot longer than expected that is for sure! Everything was good news & Mom will share it with everyone within the next couple weeks. We need to get a few things in order & go back & see them in the middle of April. We are pretty excited.... Mark definitely is & he should be! we got back home around 3:45 pm & pretty much got right on my computer to write to you before I feed the pups & get dinner going for us this evening. It is already 4:24 pm & Mom can feel that it is going to be a very early night for her tonight. My eyelids are so heavy. I am eating chocolate to stay awake right now...lol!
Mom has nothing for updates for you as I did not talk to Grandpa, Debbie, Meme or Bob at all. We didn't even have our skype call last night that was scheduled. We were online waiting & Tubal & Karen never showed up. We messaged them to see if everything was okay & they messaged us back later last night saying that there were kicked back in their recliners & they fell fast asleep. They woke up around 8 pm so we rescheduled for next week. We laughed about it. They work so much so there is no surprise that they fell asleep! It is all good & no worries at all! We were just glad that they were okay & nothing had happened. Mom will be sure to catch up with everyone tomorrow or the middle of the week. Mark has a few things to do tomorrow so I will be here doing some school work while he is gone & then we will enjoy the day together in the afternoon. Vacation is so nice. We are enjoying getting several things done & being productive about it. It just feels great!
Mom hopes that your evening tonight will be everything that you need & want it to be, Tyler. May you get to have some fun as well while Mom gets some sleep tonight. If you can, come be with me or visit me in my dreams tonight. Thank you my sweet precious son. Mom will whisper to you later this evening as well so be sure to listen out for my voice. Smile when you hear Mom & I will smile right back to you. I miss you so much. I love you more than anything. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. I will light a candle for you again this evening like I have also been doing for the last several months. Know that when the flame is burning bright, it is burning bright for you! Mom has to get going now so that I can fix dinner & get the pups fed but I will be back tomorrow again with another letter to you. Before I go... here are a couple sayings for the day:
" Whatever happens around you, don't take it personally....Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves. "
" Don't talk, act. Don't say, show & don't promise, prove. "
Here is the prayer for the day as well: May you, amidst your everyday life, dare to scoot a little closer to Jesus, cup your ear, and listen to what He has to say to you. He loves you. He cherishes you. He has hopes for you. He wants to heal you, restore you, and renew you. His truth will set you free. His power will part the waters. His love will heal your soul. His heart for you will make you whole. Lean in today. Listen for His voice; it's gentle, powerful, redemptive, and life-giving. Oh, how He loves you! May you dare to believe who you can be because of Him. Have a blessed and beautiful day.
Good night & sweet dreams my bright shining star! Until tomorrow....
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
PS. Today is your cousin Ray Jr's Birthday! He is 31 years old! Make sure you stop on in & leave him a sign that you were there! Just don't scare him....lol!

Sunday, March 25, 2018
Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Sunday evening? Mom has been so busy today & it is hard to believe that it is already after 5 pm. Mom is sorry that she did not write to you last night but during the day, Mark & Mom went out shopping & got home late. By the time dinner & dishes were done it was after 7 pm & I was just plum tired & tuckered out. Mom never once turned her computer on at all yesterday. mark played his game online with his brother until 9 pm while Mom sat on the couch & watched a couple movies. I had Ozzy laying on my lap because he was sick last night & just wanted to cuddle. He is doing better today but he is still kind of acting funny. Mom is watching him closely. Anyways... Mom was in bed by 11 pm last night. I was up a lot though. I had several weird dreams that kind of merged altogether. Some of them woke me right up. I did have a dream of you & to be honest that was one of the ones that scared me. Sometimes when I dream of you, it is when you are little & either you just got sick or it was a couple years into it & us adjusting to out new lives. Some dreams make me smile while others make me sad & I wonder why I was even dreaming about it at all. I sure hope that Mom gets more sleep than what I did last night. I have such dark circles under those babies, it is not funny. You can tell that Mom is tired. I need a good nights sleep without waking up that many times during the night. I also need to start going to bed earlier again instead of later. I did whisper to you last night a few times so I hope you heard Mom. I tried to smile every time as well & hope you did too. I will whisper to you later this evening as well. We have a skype call tonight with Tubal & Karen at 7 pm so Mom needs to make sure that dinner & dishes will be completely finished up for that. The rest of our evening will be relaxing & going to bed early as we are hitting the road in the morning to go to an appointment at 11 am that is about 1 1/2 hours away from here! Should be fun & exciting for us! The rest of the week with us being on vacation will depend on the weather. It is suppose to be nice a couple days & rain a couple days as well. We are just going to go with the flow pretty much. It will just be nice to do whatever we want or nothing at all. No pressure, no work, no worries. Mom actually did several hours of studying today. Mark was busy so I thought I would keep myself busy & do something useful. Earlier Mom did the laundry, folded it & put it away, made a big breakfast for us, did the dishes, made 2 loaves of homemade bread, made homemade beef stew, did those dishes, dusted, mopped, vacuumed & got ready. The weather started out crappy. We had cloudy skies, snow last night again, then it was snowing this afternoon, sleeting & finely the sky is clearing, it is blue skies, sunny & cold. Just wild weather. Mom will be making sure that everything is all set for this weekend when Meme, Bob, Grandpa & Debbie come for 2 days. I can't wait. It will be nice to spend quality time with them. I miss them very much. I miss you very much too. 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. Forever you will be living inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom doesn't have any updates for you at all as this weekend was very quiet. The phone hardly rang at all. Tonight I will give Grandpa a quick call to say hello & I am sure to chat with Meme & Aunt Beck during the week. I will fill you in as I know of things. Mom needs to get going but before I do I will write the saying for the day & the daily prayer. Here they are:
Always Do Your Best~ Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are tired as opposed to well-rested. Under any circumstance, simply do your best & you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse & regret.
God, please teach me to speak the right words at the right time with the right tone, so I can live in peace & happiness. Amen.
Mom hopes your evening will be peaceful for you. May you do all that is needed of you & also things that you would like to do as well. Have fun while I sleep & if you can come be with Mom. Please continue to watch over us all when you can. Fly high & free my sweet precious son. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Until then... good night & sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Mom is doing outstanding because in less than 90 minutes Mark is officially on vacation for the next 10 days! We really are not going to go & do much but we will have the time to do all that we want. The weather is looking really good too. Looks like the week will be in the 50's with lots of sunshine, no snow & maybe just a little bit of rain. Mom can handle that! The weather today has been full of sunshine. The temps are chilly but the snow is melting little by little & that in itself makes Mom very happy. Mom has been up since the crack of dawn & watched the sunrise. Such a pretty painting in the sky. Mom took pictures of it. I didn't even go back to bed. I stayed awake, made breakfast, did laundry, got ready, walked the pups & then studied for 3 hours. It is going on 4 pm & I wanted to write to you now because at 5 pm the electronics are being turned off for the night & Mark & Mom are going to enjoy the evening with a couple drinks, dinner & maybe a late walk with the pups & perhaps a movie to kick vacation off! Tomorrow I think we are headed an hour North from here to go look at a couple vehicles that Mark has his eyes on. During the week I hope that he can make a decision & get this new vehicle for himself. Mom is happy with his 2 choices so I hope all goes well with which ever one he leans towards. I know you will be watching over us during that time & helping Mark make the right choice. Your guidance is very much needed during this process. I know whatever choice is officially made then I know you approve & that vehicle will serve us well. Thank you for helping us out my sweet precious son! Other than that, Mark & Mom will just enjoy the days off together & will just do what we want to do. I am so looking forward to it. We might have some decisions we have to make about a few things coming up but you already have an insight to what Mom is talking about. We shall cross that bridge when it comes to us. Mom will keep you posted.
Last night, I did not talk to Grandpa like I thought I would. I hope he is doing okay & feeling better. Usually when it goes a few days without hearing from him it means that he has been sick. I will check in with him over the weekend. I did hear from Meme. What a mess that conversation was. Mom should not have taken the tone that I did but I was frustrated from the night before & last night topped it off. I need to have more patience when it comes to things like that & I just don't. I need to work on that. You see, Meme got a new cell phone & she wanted to get a cover & case for it. I was trying to help her the best I could over the phone but it wasn't working & she wasn't listening to what I was saying so Mom got upset. She said she was going to continue to look at them & call me last night. Well, she called alright. Instead of waiting for Mom to help her again, she decided to do it herself & she placed an order from a site she couldn't remember & ended up placing it for 5 cases & 3 covers & then added an additional order of 1 more of each. What a mess. I was trying to help her & she couldn't even tell me where she ordered it from. Finally after an hour, we found the orders & I told her she needed to email the place & explain what happened. She was so upset that she couldn't so Mom did it for her. By the time I got off the phone I had a huge headache & wanted nothing to do with anything except zone out for a few hours. I hope for Meme's sake it gets fixed & she doesn't try to do it again as it was a costly mistake. I know she was trying but all could have been avoided if she just listened to Mom. I can hear you now... oh poor Meme & Mom can hear you laughing & shaking your head. Boy do I miss you so much, Tyler. I miss your voice, your laugh, your smile...just everything. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. I love you more than anything in this world that I live in now. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Forever you will live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom will whisper to you later this evening so smile when you hear Mom & I will smile right back. I usually would light a candle but I can't because I don't have a lighter right now. I will try & look for one though. If you see it burning bright it is for you my pumpkin! Mom is hoping that your evening will be everything that you want & need it to be. Come visit Mom if you can in my dreams or come sit by my side while I sleep tonight. Either way I will love it. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then...good night & sweet dreams.
Mom is going to get going for now as it is almost 4:45 pm & the time is coming for me to shut everything down for the night. I know you understand. Before I go, here is a saying for the day: " This is my life....my story....my book. I will no longer let anyone else write it; nor will I apologize for all the edits I make. "
" Going back to a simpler life is not a step backward. "
I love you, Tyler. My bright shining star.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
PS. Here are the prayers for the day:
May God release special favor over your life in the coming days! May He fill you up to overflowing and give you a fresh vision for where He's taking you. May you identify the places where the enemy has planted inferiority and insecurity and play king of the hill there! Put him under your feet, refuse to let those lies win the day. In Christ, you have NO reason to feel less than or inferior. He is more than enough for you. Walk in God’s truth and rest in His care. He loves you and He'll lead you in the way you should go. Have a blessed night!
May you be mindful to pause regularly and reflect on the many ways God has come through for you. This will strengthen your heart. And, may you cultivate a heart that knows how to rest in God alone. This will nourish your soul. As you look to Jesus and remember His faithfulness, your whole countenance will change, and others will be reminded that there's a God in heaven very much involved in their own lives. He intends to get us safely home. But don't wait 'till then to find rest in Him. Embrace a heart-at-rest kind of life this weekend.

I usually would light a candle but I can't because I don't have a lighter right now. I will try & look for one though. If you see it burning bright it is for you my pumpkin! Mom is hoping that your evening will be everything that you want & need it to be. Come visit Mom if you can in my dreams or come sit by my side while I sleep tonight. Either way I will love it. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then...good night & sweet dreams.
Mom is going to get going for now as it is almost 4:45 pm & the time is coming for me to shut everything down for the night. I know you understand. Before I go, here is a saying for the day: " This is my life....my story....my book. I will no longer let anyone else write it; nor will I apologize for all the edits I make. "
" Going back to a simpler life is not a step backward. "
I love you, Tyler. My bright shining star.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
PS. Here are the prayers for the day:
May God release special favor over your life in the coming days! May He fill you up to overflowing and give you a fresh vision for where He's taking you. May you identify the places where the enemy has planted inferiority and insecurity and play king of the hill there! Put him under your feet, refuse to let those lies win the day. In Christ, you have NO reason to feel less than or inferior. He is more than enough for you. Walk in God’s truth and rest in His care. He loves you and He'll lead you in the way you should go. Have a blessed night!
May you be mindful to pause regularly and reflect on the many ways God has come through for you. This will strengthen your heart. And, may you cultivate a heart that knows how to rest in God alone. This will nourish your soul. As you look to Jesus and remember His faithfulness, your whole countenance will change, and others will be reminded that there's a God in heaven very much involved in their own lives. He intends to get us safely home. But don't wait 'till then to find rest in Him. Embrace a heart-at-rest kind of life this weekend.

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday evening? Mom is doing alright & running late as I seem to be doing these last few days. I actually have already fed & prepped dinner tonight. It is in the oven cooking so while that was going on I thought I would write to you. Thank you for watching over us during Storm Toby. Mom has to say that we did not get as much as I thought we were going to get though. I am not complaining at all in the least either. The forecast kept changing on us all day & through the night. At first it was suppose to be a 24 hour storm..8 am yesterday until 8 am this morning but then they changed it to us starting to get the snow around 5 pm. That didn't happen either. We started to get the snow around midnight when Mom headed to bed. It was rain at first & then changed over to straight snow. When Mom woke up at 8 am, the wind was whipping & snow was coming down sideways. It was really cold & nasty out there. We got about 5" of snow. It all stopped around 12 noon. The temps kind of warmed up & some of the snow has already been melting. It is pretty wet out there. I guess the sun is suppose to be out a lot next week so some more should melt away & maybe just maybe we can start looking forward to the Spring weather. Some places in Pennsylvania got 19" of snow out of this storm & it was a record of 9" in 2 hours. Holy Hannah Banana! That is crazy! NH & VT & the other side of MA did not get anything at all. They lucked out this time. We are all hoping that this was the last storm of this year but who knows. Guess the time will tell on that one!
Today, it was quite busy for us here. Mom was up at 8 am & lounged in bed for a few, got up & made breakfast & while I was eating maintenance stopped by to do some work that Mom requested. He was here for about an hour & then had to go do other work & then come back to us. In the meantime, Mom was able to do the dishes, make the bed, clean up the apartment a bit & get ready. The rest of the day was studying & paying a couple bills on line. Mom is making progress with the exam. Slowly but I am doing it. Hopefully tomorrow I will get the chance to finish & then I will just have to type it all out. After that will be the very last exam of this class! I am so super stoked about that. I think I will throw a party when I finish this one...lol! It has been a long time coming! mark was busy all day with calls & such for work. Right now he is chatting with his brother until dinner is done. Tonight will be a very relaxing evening with a drink & watching a movie. Mark has one more day & he is on vacation for 10 days! Mom is excited & can't wait!
I don't have any updates for you at all tonight because I didn't really chat with anyone last night & the phone has not rang once today. Guess Mom is pretty tired of always having to be the one to reach out first to everyone other than family. I am tired of being the one to do it all so I have stopped. I am not going to bend over backwards for anyone anymore ( friends, I mean. ) I am finding that no one really cares either because they are not calling me at all. It is a hard lesson to learn but I know who my real friends are & who really are not anymore. Mom is sure to have updates for you tomorrow though. I bet Meme & Grandpa will call tonight.
I hope that you evening is everything you need & want it to be. Have fun while I get some sleep tonight. If you can, please come & visit me in my dreams or just sit & be with Mom while I sleep. Thank you pumpkin. I will whisper to you later tonight as well. Smile when you hear Mom & I will be sure to smile back to you. I will again light a candle for you tonight so that flame burning bright is for you my sweet precious son. I miss you more than words can say & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you but for now I have to go & finish up dinner for Mark & I so we can eat at a descent time tonight. Good night & sweet dears my bright shining star.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is a saying for the day:
" Take a second to think about how truly blessed you really are. "
" Actually , you are good enough. "
Here are the prayers:
Sometimes the well dries up before God fills it again. Sometimes the waters overwhelm us before they part before us. If you’re in over your head, out of options, and can’t see a way through, do not fret! Instead, remember what you know about God. He is good. He is faithful. And He’s the master of the miraculous breakthrough. Do not fixate on your problem, fix your eyes on the One who promised never to leave you or forsake you. This is a time for great faith. May faith arise! God bless you!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. I wanted to write to you sooner rather than later because the weather here is started to get crappier by the hour. The winds have been whipping since earlier this morning & they are picking up as the hours go by as well. Storm Toby was suppose to have started at 8 am & go until 8 am Thursday morning but I guess the pattern changed sometime during the evening. The forecast showed that we would start to get the snow around 5 pm tonight & it will go through Thursday morning but the wind will just be awful throughout the whole storm. The snow totals for us were suppose to be a foot or more but those too have gone down to 3 - 5" of snow. Mom is okay with that & also the 5th Nor'easter was suppose to hit us this weekend but we will not see any of that. I think 4 Nor'Easter's are bad enough & frankly that has made the records. Never has anyone seen just a thing before. Please watch over us throughout the wind & snow that we will be getting. The temps out there are so cold. Mom is praying that we will be alright & that our power remains on & also I will be praying for everyone else around our area as things have been awful for us all. Thank you my sweet precious son. Mom knows that you will do everything you can in your power to help us out. I sure do love you with all my heart. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. I miss you so much...like crazy. You were my world, my everything & you still are. You always will. Tyler, you are Mom's hero & the wind beneath my wings. You will forever live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Please always feel that in your soul.
Mom lit a candle earlier & whispered to you. Hope you heard me. when I lit it, I said it was for you, our family & friends, pets & also for Father Stan. Mom will whisper to you later this evening as well. I hope you smile when you hear me & I will be sure to smile right back to you.
Mom doesn't have much for updates for you. I did speak to Meme, Grandpa & Debbie last night. Debbie's brother came out of surgery okay. It went well. Doctor's found a bit more than what they thought they would. They couldn't do it all yesterday but did quite a bit. He is now in the recovery stage. Mom likes him. He is so sweet. I wish him the best & I say prayers for him as well. Grandpa sounded better. Guess he has more medicine to take. Debbie is doing good. Meme & Bob are well too. Mark & Mom invited them all down for Easter weekend. They all said yes providing the weather is good or at least doesn't call for snow. Mom is excited to have them hear for a couple days. I love to bake & cook. Mom is hoping to do that for them this time seeings how Meme did it for Christmas. It also gives Mark & I a break from traveling there & spending money on a hotel. It works out because Mark is on vacation starting Friday until April 2nd. We are not going anywhere at all. We will just do little things during the day & also stay around the apartment. Maybe fix things up a bit. It will be good for Mark as he needs a break from work as he is just swamped! We might go on Saturday to a auto dealer to look at a vehicle for him. We will go look, come home & then make decisions during the week & perhaps if he likes one then we will go back & get it for him. That is exciting for him as well. He deserves it! Mom will keep you posted on that! Mom has been studying the last few days. I am coming along with this exam. Just this one to go & then its the final! Yippee! Mom will most likely finish it up tomorrow & then on Friday start the Final Exam! I know you are with Mom through all of this & I thank you for it. Without you guiding me I don't actually think I could do it. Thank you, pumpkin. I love you.
Mom is hoping that your evening tonight will be everything that you are hoping it to be. May you get to do everything that is needed of you & also do things that you want to do as well. Have fun while Mom gets some sleep tonight. Come be with me or visit me in my dreams if you can. I would love that so much. Continue to fly high & free in the heavens above. Mark & Mom's evening will be pretty mellow. We will have dinner & then we will watch some TV. Not much else to do while it will be snowing. Staying off the roads will be the safest thing to do. We will probably go to bed early as well. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then... good night & sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is a saying for the day: You are stronger than your struggle. It's okay to not be okay.... Some days are just harder than others.
Here are the prayers for the day: There's an appointed time for every God-given breakthrough. Jesus knows when your accumulative prayers will make the most difference. He knows when your long-awaited breakthrough will bear the most fruit; He knows when your blessing will not be a burden. May you trust Him in the meantime. You've things to do in this season: Rest. Wait. Trust. Obey. Give thanks. Enjoy joy. And walk forward in faith. Breakthrough is on the horizon.
May you begin to see your setbacks as temporary, your delays as detours, and your heartbreaks as opportunities to experience God's precious, powerful healing. And in the meantime, may God give you glimpses of glory, insights into His good plan for you. Be assured that God has never left your side; He’ll never let you go. May God help you see with supernatural insight so that you won't be deceived by the enemy of your soul, or by your past painful filters, or by your fears of the future. In fact, right here--in this place--may your divine perspective hugely inspire your faith steps. You are mighty in God and He is mighty in you. Have a blessed night.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday evening? Happy 1st day of Spring! Mom is doing alright. Busy though today & I am running late again tonight. It is after 5 pm & I just got dinner prepped & in the oven for Mark & I & I just fed the pups. I wanted to write to you before I shut my computer off for the evening. The day has gone by pretty fast for us here. Mom was up at 8 am & I was able to do laundry, fold them & put them away, break down all the boxes, separate them from the trash, clean out the garage by sweeping & rearranging it, cleaning out my closet again, vacuuming, getting the mail & boxes at the office, making phone calls, sending emails out & now I am writing to you. Mark was nice enough to go out & run a couple errands on his lunch break for Mom so that helped out. We are getting ready for Storm Toby to hit us tomorrow morning & stay with us for 24 hours. This storm will leave up to a foot of snow, high winds again & coastal flooding. It will be about the same as the last 3 storms that we have had. Please keep us safe through this one like you have the other ones. Thank you! Mom hopes that we don't lose power & that we will be okay. We have everything we need so there is no need to go outside in it at all. The temps are going to be super cold. Mom will be praying for everyone that is effected by this one in the next 2 days. NH & VT are not getting anything this time really. Might be a dusting to a couple inches but that is it. It's a good thing as Grandpa doesn't need to be out in it while he is sick & neither does Bob or Meme. mark will be working all day & Mom will take advantage & do her studying during the daylight hours. I took a break today so that I could get all the other stuff done. I am so glad that I did. Looks like this weekend will be busy for us as we are going to go look at a vehicle for Mark on Saturday & Sunday we will do our shopping & errands.
This afternoon, Mom got some very sad news. Father Stan has gained his Angel wings this morning. I am not sure if you remember him or not but he baptized you when you were small, Mom went to his Church growing up & even after you were born. Father Stan actually officiated at your funeral. He was a very well like man & Pastor at St Joseph's Church. He will be missed by so many people. To Father Stan.... May you fly high & free with the Angels above for eternal life. May you R.I.P. Mom had to call Grandpa to tell him that sad news. They were very good friends. Grandpa did not take it very well at all. Mom felt so bad having to tell him but I didn't want him to find out by reading it. There is just so much sadness right now. Everything seems to be happening too much & too often. Yesterday, Mark & Mom received a phone call telling us that our sister-in-law's Uncle took his own life yesterday morning in Kentucky. I will spare the details that we got but I guess he did it during the morning on the front lawn while it was a busy time with traffic & kids going to school. Many people witnessed it. Not sure the reasoning on why but it doesn't really matter. So horrible. May he R.I.P. now. Mom is sorry that all the updates that I have for today are sad ones but I don't have any others as I didn't chat with anyone today. Mom hopes to have better & happy updates for you tomorrow.
Tonight, I will light another candle for you, Father Stan & all our family & friends. I will whisper to you as I always do so be listening out for my voice. I will smile to you & hope you are smiling to Mom on the other side. I miss you so much my sweet precious son. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You forever will live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Mom hopes your evening will be everything that you need & want it to be. May you come be with Mom while I get some sleep or come visit me in my dreams. Thank you, Tyler.
Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you but for now... our dinner will be done in a few minutes & I need to get the rest of it ready as it is 5:35 pm. Until tomorrow, good night & sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here are the prays for the day:
May God give you absolute clarity and divine discernment so you can see things as they are, and not as they seem. May He keep you far from accusing tongues and protect you from being wrongly assessed. May you have the backbone and conviction to stand up for what is true and to stand back when God wants to fight for you. May God give you laser-like focus to tend to your God-given assignment. May He grant you empowering grace to flourish where He has placed you. May your pure heart and firm faith keep you steady on the path ahead of you. These things are yours because you belong to Him.
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!

I will spare the details that we got but I guess he did it during the morning on the front lawn while it was a busy time with traffic & kids going to school. Many people witnessed it. Not sure the reasoning on why but it doesn't really matter. So horrible. May he R.I.P. now. Mom is sorry that all the updates that I have for today are sad ones but I don't have any others as I didn't chat with anyone today. Mom hopes to have better & happy updates for you tomorrow.
Tonight, I will light another candle for you, Father Stan & all our family & friends. I will whisper to you as I always do so be listening out for my voice. I will smile to you & hope you are smiling to Mom on the other side. I miss you so much my sweet precious son. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You forever will live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Mom hopes your evening will be everything that you need & want it to be. May you come be with Mom while I get some sleep or come visit me in my dreams. Thank you, Tyler.
Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you but for now... our dinner will be done in a few minutes & I need to get the rest of it ready as it is 5:35 pm. Until tomorrow, good night & sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here are the prays for the day:
May God give you absolute clarity and divine discernment so you can see things as they are, and not as they seem. May He keep you far from accusing tongues and protect you from being wrongly assessed. May you have the backbone and conviction to stand up for what is true and to stand back when God wants to fight for you. May God give you laser-like focus to tend to your God-given assignment. May He grant you empowering grace to flourish where He has placed you. May your pure heart and firm faith keep you steady on the path ahead of you. These things are yours because you belong to Him.
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!
