Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday evening? Mom is plumb tuckered out tonight so this letter is going to be short tonight so Mom apologizes in advance. I don't know what happened but Mom went to bed at 11 pm and was woken up at 12:30 am with Princess shaking and Ozzy being under the bed. Mom was up with her until 2 am and back up again at 7 am. Mom didn't go back to sleep. I stayed awake and lounged in bed for a couple hours before getting up, taking a shower, etc.... Mom was at the computer and studying by 11 am and studied all day long until just now. Mom submitted her final exam and I got a 90 on it. My final grade in the course was a 92 ~ A. Mom is happy with that. I also started my new class after and read the first 2 chapters and took the first exam and got a 94. Mom was happy with that as well. I continued as I was on a roll and started the next chapter and also started on the next exam and I am almost finished with that one too. I will finish it up tomorrow and submit it. I think I over did it today and Mom knows that I will be going to bed early tonight to get some good sleep. Hopefully the pups will let me tonight.
Mom wanted to let you know that I was told today that Grandpa's cousin's wife, Hattie lost her battle to cancer last night. She gained her Angel wings. Aunt Shirley is pretty upset about it along with the rest of our family. May Hattie R.I.P. now for eternal life. She was loved and will definitely be missed. Not much else for updates today. The phones were quiet last night and that was good for us here. The phones have been quiet pretty much today. I did chat with Grandpa to tell him the news about Hattie, Aunt Shirley called me as well and then my friend, Gary called to say hello. All the conversations were short but nice. Mom plans on relaxing this evening and doing nothing at all. I will light the candle for you in a bit and I will whisper to you just like I do every night so smile when you hear Mom and I will smile back to you my sweet precious son. Mom is hoping that tonight you will have a peaceful evening and perhaps get to do things that are needed of you and things that you may want to do as well. Have fun and come visit Mom in my dreams tonight if you can. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Please always know and feel it in your soul that you are missed so much by Mom and all our family and friends. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my hero, the wind beneath my wings and the shining star that lights my way. Forever you will be inside my heart, mind, body and soul.
Mom is going to get going for now as I need to get dinner going but also my eyes are just so tired from not sleeping and being on the computer all day long. I need to just go and relax for the night. Until tomorrow comes, good night and sweet dreams pumpkin.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the daily prayer:
Many, Lord, are asking, "Who will bring us prosperity?" Let the light of your face shine on us. Psalm 4:6, NIV
Lord our God, with all our hearts we come before your countenance. Our hearts shall always be in your presence, asking, longing, and believing that you will guide our affairs aright. Protect us, for you are our God and Father. Protect all who are in danger or who must go into danger. Make known your great love and your living presence to the hearts of the dying. Draw our hearts together so that we may have community in you, our faith and hope set on you alone. Protect us during the night, and help us to be at peace about all our concerns because they are in your hands. Every concern of every person is in your hands. We ourselves are in your hands, Lord God, our Father, and there we want to remain. Your hands can heal and restore everything. Praised be your name! Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday evening? Mom's brain is fried to say the least. It is 5:30 pm and Mom just got done with her final exam. I have been working on it since 12 noon. My eyes are so buggy right now from looking at the computer screen all day long. I need to write you your letter and get off this thing for the night. Mom will look everything over once again before submitting it tomorrow though. Just a triple check on things as this is the final and counts for a lot of my grade. I am hoping I do really well on it to keep my A but if not then I will definitely take a B. That is better than an F! Mom will let you know what I get for a grade when it is posted by mid-week.
Mom slept a little better last night but not too much more. I was up a few times and I guess there was a lot on my mind. I did however still get up at 7:30 am and lounge in bed for about two hours before getting up, making breakfast, doing laundry and then getting ready. After that it was still pretty warm and humid outside to take the pups for a walk so Mom decided to take them after they ate, which is what we just got done doing. They are happy, have full bellies and loved their walk outside. Mom is cooking dinner while I finish up my letter to you. Nothing like multi-tasking, huh? Mom does it all the time...lol! Looks like it will be a late dinner and then we are going to go sit outside for a bit and enjoy the fresh air. Later we will come in and watch a little TV before going to bed. Tomorrow is another full day here. We have to go get the vehicle inspected, go to the bank to get the rent check and then Mark is getting a haircut. When we get home, Mom will be submitting her final exam and Mark has a full day at the office. It is a busy week for sure! Mom can't believe that there is only two days left in July and we will be in August on Wednesday. Kids will be going back to school in just 3 weeks and in 1 month everything around here will be shutting down for the tourist season again. Fall will be upon us and that is Mom's favorite time of the year! Soon it will be winter again. That is not something that I want to think about right now though...lol! Anyways... Mom will be posting some new things for the month of August on here. Some inspirational sayings and some gem and crystal meanings that I have found. They are interesting and I know you would have loved it all so I hope you enjoy all that I post!
So the updates that I have for you today are the ones I was telling you about yesterday that I didn't want to write about. They really are not all that uplifting to say the least. Okay...here it goes... Great Grammy is not well at all. She has gone down even more in the last week. Her body is now starting to break down and Mom knows it won't be long. I somehow have a feeling that it is going to happen right before her birthday or right after her birthday which is in 8 days. Grandpa and Aunt Shirley's cousin, which is our cousin as well, Hatte (you met her and John before...they live in Maine) is in the hospital and full of cancer. They say it is just a matter of time for her as well. Debbie called Mom on Saturday and told me that she has some medical issues going on as well. She told me what they were but I will not disclose them on here but you know because you have heard Mom talk about it. She is going to the doctors either this week or next to start the proceedings of what is next for her. I spoke to Aunt Beck and she was saying that Bean is still the same. She was indeed diagnosed with Hashimoto 's Disease. She has her Endocrinologist appointment on the 7th (Grammy's Birthday). I saw a recent picture that was posted of her and I haven't seen a recent one in months so Mom was a little surprised to see just how bloated she is. It breaks my heart but Bean is still beautiful as ever and she will get all this worked out. Everyone else seems to be doing okay. Mom is getting better every day and I am getting back to myself...which I knew I would. I will be good as new come the end of the week! Mark is doing well and taking very good care of Mom. You would be proud of him. I know you see it and I am sure you are smiling. Please watch over us all my sweet precious son. I know you do all the time but I always feel the need to ask. Thank you.
Mom will update you more when I hear of things but for now that is all that I have. I will light the candle as soon as I am done writing to you and I will whisper to you as I always do. Looks like we are going to get some rain or a serious thunderstorm tonight. The clouds have rolled in and it is no longer blue skies and sunny. Guess there will be no sunset or moon shining bright but I know you are up there shining the brightest for someone who needs you. Thank you for being my bright star that lights my way day and night. It makes me smile. I miss you so much though. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You will forever be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. You will always have a place and live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you but for now... I have to go and finish up cooking dinner. Have fun tonight while I sleep and come visit me in my dreams if you can. Fly high pumpkin. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7, NIV
Lord our God, we are your children. Hear all our concerns, we pray, for we want help from you, not from men, not from anything we can think or say. May your power be revealed in our time. We long for a new age, an age of peace in which people are changed. We long for your day, the day when your power will be revealed to poor, broken humankind. Be with us, and give our hearts what will remain with us, the strength and mercy of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Happy 28th Birthday in Heaven today. Mom is trying to hold it together so that I make you very proud but it is a pretty rough day for me. I am trying to stay busy so that I don't have to think about things very much today. I guess you could say that I am pretty quiet. Mark keeps asking if I am alright and I just nod and say yes. Mom is sorry that I did not write to you on here last night but I did write something on social media for you that I will re post on this letter as it is pretty long for me to retype out.
Saturday wasn't a great day for Mom as you could probably have seen. I was back at Urgent Care to be checked again and get more antibiotics for this bladder infection. Usually 1 round of it doesn't clear it all up for Mom. It usually takes 2 rounds of it to clear completely. Mark and Mom spent 2 hours waiting to me to be seen. After we left there, I had my medicine refilled and then off to go grocery shopping and run a few errands. We got back home around 4 pm. Mom put everything away and then we had dinner and we relaxed for the night. Mom was pretty tired so I went to bed around 10 pm while Mark stayed up. Not sure how long he was awake for as I fell right to sleep. The pups woke us up around 6 am and then again at 7 am. Mom fell back to sleep and got up around 8:30 am. I made a good breakfast...your favorites....eggs, toast and bacon. I did all the clean up of that and then Mark and Mom went down to the garage to breakdown boxes and take apart 3 bookcases and two end tables. We got that all done and bagged them up and Mark took almost all of it to the dumpster while Mom swept the garage and cleaned that all up. Now it is 1:23 pm and Mom plans on finishing this letter up to you and then turning the computer off for the entire day and evening and I am going to take a shower and then relax the rest of the day. I don't want to do anything else or think about anything. I will just go with the flow and make sure that I am drinking a lot of water like I am suppose to. Mark is playing his game on the computer with his brother so he is occupied. He will probably do that most of the day. Aunt Beck, Sam I Am, Megan and a few others have sent messages to Mom or said Happy Birthday to you on social media. Lots of family and friends commented on my post from last night. It was all sweet. Mom appreciates it a lot. Here is what I wrote to you:
Dear Tyler,
I don't even know where to start or if I will make any sense to what I write to you. Mom is having a hard time as tomorrow, ( Sunday) July 29th you would have turned 28 years old. Another day that does not get any easier for Mom. I remember being told that I was pregnant & I had 1 1/2 months left before you were coming. You were suppose to be a July 4th baby but decide you were cozy & comfy & wanted to wait almost 10 months to enter this world. I look back at it now & I giggle but I wasn't then.. it was an extremely hot summer & I was ready & eager to meet you. You gave me one heck of a hard time. After 24 hrs of labor & 12 hours of it was " hard labor " you decided that you still didn't want to come out so I ended up having an emergency c-section because we were both tired & in distress.
I remember the 1st time I saw your face. I wondered if I was going to be a good Mommy to you, did I know how to as I was only 19 years old. I shed many of tears as I wanted to do all the right things but knew I would somehow make many mistakes along the way. It's funny because I never wanted to be a Mom when I was growing up & when someone asked me if I would ever have children I would say " Nope. " but now that is the 1 thing I miss the most...being a Mom. When you got sick in June of 1994.... our worlds were shattered but through the years we were each others strengths to get through it all. We learned along the way, we made mistakes, I made wrong choices that I thought were the best for you. God know how much I miss you. I didn't think that June 20, 2013 I would have to say goodbye to you. That is a decision that will haunt Mom for the rest of my life. I relive it over & over again in my mind. Since that day Mom is not the same person & I will never be that person again. She left this world when you did. No one should ever have to make the decisions I had to. No parent should ever have to lose their child no matter what age they are. It is not right. It is not the Circle of Life. I hate the fact that I can't ever see you again, hear your voice, see your smile, touch your sweet face. I love you so much. You were my world. You were my everything. You still are. Nothing will ever change that.
I know that you don't celebrate Birthdays anymore but Mom is still going to wish you a Happy Heavenly Early Birthday. You are on my mind a lot these last few days. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul. You are my true hero, the wind beneath my wings & my bright shining star that lights my path day & night.
I love you. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond & more than all the stars in the sky, Tyler Howard
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah

Mom misses you so much my sweet precious son. Every day is tough without you but days like these are even more. I know you are watching over Mom and you are always around me and I do thank you for that. I love getting your signs letting me know. They always surprise me and they always put a smile on my face. I love you beyond words. Like I said in my message to you above.... you are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. You are my shining star that lights my way day and night. You will forever and always live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. I want you to never forget that ....Ever!
Mom was going to go out and get a couple balloons and send them up to you but I didn't want to take the chance and get caught and get in trouble so I decided as much as I wanted to I went against it. I know that you understand what I am saying. I found a picture that I will post on here today that shows Mom sending you up heart balloons to you in Heaven. Each one has a great big hug and kiss for you. Smile when you read this letter and see the pictures. I will smile to you as I send them.
There are a few updates that I will write to you on tomorrows letter. I just don't want to write them on here today. Just doesn't seem appropriate to do it today. I will light the candle for you later this afternoon and all evening so know that it is shining bright just for you. I will whisper to you as I always do so smile again for Mom and I will smile back to you as well. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. I sure hope that you are celebrating your special day with all our family and friends up there in Heaven. May you have fun tonight while Mom sleeps. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. I would love that so much. Continue to fly high and free in the Heavens above. Until tomorrow comes..... good night and sweet dreams. Again, Happy Heavenly 28th Birthday to you, Tyler. I love you with all my heart.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is the prayer for your special day:
True, he died on the cross in weakness, but he lives by the power of God; and we who share his weakness shall by the power of God live with him in your service. 2 Corinthians 13:4, NEB
Lord our God, we thank you for the love you show us so that we may be delivered from weakness and sickness, from sin and misery, and may be given strength to serve you, our Father in heaven. Bless us in all we have on our hearts, that through your mercy the battle of life may be fought aright. Bless us in our times and grant that justice may gain the upper hand and we may live in peace, praising you into all eternity. Protect us, your children, forevermore. May your name be honored, your kingdom come, and your will be done on earth as in heaven. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday evening? It is already past 5 pm and Mom just got done with working on more of her final exam. I did however take a couple sanity breaks during the day so that I could continue. Boy, this final is a toughie. Mom is hoping that I can get a good grade on it so I can maintain my A but if not then I will be okay with a B. Mark has already fed the pups for me so that I could write to you while our dinner is cooking. That was sweet of him. Mom is so sorry about yesterdays letter to you and cutting it short but the weather was terrible the whole afternoon and into the wee hours of the night. I think it stopped raining around 9 pm. The thunderstorm was terrible though. Princess stayed right by my side and shook and Ozzy was under the bed shaking. Mom tried to get him out but no luck. He did however come out long enough to eat dinner and then run right back under. Princess ate later in the evening. Mark didn't get home until around 8 pm last night. It sure was a long day for him but he ended up getting his cutover to work and he made it successful so he doesn't have to go back again and try. I thought that was amazing. He didn't get to answer my calls or messages because there was no signal in the building that he was in. He was pretty tired when he got home but he had dinner and relaxed for most of the evening. We went to bed around 10 pm and Mom was exhausted. I fell right to sleep but I was up every couple hours. Mark watched a movie and then turned in around 11 pm he said. He was up at 6:30 am and Mom slept in this morning. I woke up at 8 am. I was surprised as I never do that but I guess I needed it. Not much happened at all last night. Mom made dinner, watched the thunderstorm, kept the pups as safe as I could make them feel and I watched TV while I was alone. Grandpa called around 8:30 pm or so but Mom didn't answer it as I was so tired. I will call him tonight though. I know that Aunt Shirley and him finally got a chance to chat about Great Grammy. I guess it was a good talk and a much needed one. Aunt Beck called me today as she will not be home on Sunday. She wanted to let me know that she would be thinking of Mom as Sunday would have been your 28th Birthday. Mom is going to try and get 1 balloon and release it in a park to you. I can't do it here because of all the airplanes that go by every 3 minutes. I don't want to do that. I will try to get to the park or ocean to release it to you though. Sunday will be filled with things that you liked or would have wanted to do. It is suppose to be good weather as well so that will be perfect. Saturday we are suppose to get a lot of rain so Mom and Mark are going to be doing a few much needed things around the apartment. I was able to dust and do laundry yesterday so I don't have to do that. I need to break down boxes and bookcases to put in the dumpsters and also clean my car from last weekend with the pups being in it. I have to vacuum all the pup hair out of it...lol! That will all take 1/2 the day tomorrow. Then we need to go grocery shopping and run errands. Mom would like to get everything done tomorrow so I have the day on Sunday to dedicate it to you my sweet precious son. Mom misses you so much. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. To infinity and beyond. You are my hero, my wind beneath my wings and the star that guides and lights my way day and night. You will forever be in my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will light the candle in a few minutes and I will whisper to you later this evening when it is time for Mom to go to bed. I sure hope that you will come visit me in my dreams tonight. Mom is also hoping that your evening will be filled with all kinds of fun things for you to do and see. May you get to learn a lot. I am sure you are busy and are always on the go. Never sit down for sure.... Mom can count on that! I hope you continue to fly high and free. Please continue to watch over us like you always do. Thank you for that. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you and more updates I am sure. For now, I have to go and get dinner going so we are not eating at 7 pm. Good night and sweet dreams pumpkin. Until tomorrow comes....
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is the prayer for the day:
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday evening? It is already past 5 pm and Mom just got done with working on more of her final exam. I did however take a couple sanity breaks during the day so that I could continue. Boy, this final is a toughie. Mom is hoping that I can get a good grade on it so I can maintain my A but if not then I will be okay with a B. Mark has already fed the pups for me so that I could write to you while our dinner is cooking. That was sweet of him. Mom is so sorry about yesterdays letter to you and cutting it short but the weather was terrible the whole afternoon and into the wee hours of the night. I think it stopped raining around 9 pm. The thunderstorm was terrible though. Princess stayed right by my side and shook and Ozzy was under the bed shaking. Mom tried to get him out but no luck. He did however come out long enough to eat dinner and then run right back under. Princess ate later in the evening. Mark didn't get home until around 8 pm last night. It sure was a long day for him but he ended up getting his cutover to work and he made it successful so he doesn't have to go back again and try. I thought that was amazing.

Here is the prayer for the day:
I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. John 10:16, NIV
Lord our God, bring us together as one. Give us your Spirit so that we may know you, so that joy may fill our hearts, not only for ourselves but also for others. Root out evil from the earth. Sweep away all that offends you, all lying, deceit, and hate between nations. Grant that all people may come to know you, so that disunity and conflict may be swept away and your eternal kingdom may arise on earth and we may rejoice in it. For your kingdom can come to people even while on earth to bring them happiness and to make them your own children. Yes, Lord God, we want to be your children, your people, held in your hand, so that your name may be honored, your kingdom may come, and your will be done on earth as in heaven. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday evening? Mom is doing alright. I am just getting done with studying. I am over half way through with my final exam and I will finish it up tomorrow and submit it then as well. I have several essay questions to do and that will take up a lot of Mom's time tomorrow. Right now my grade is at a 93 ~ A and hopefully I can keep it that way as well but these questions are pretty tough. Mom is doing her best and that is all I can do.
Mark has been gone since 8 am this morning and Mom is not sure now when he will be getting home tonight. He called me at 2:15 pm and said that his cutover was not going well at all and he was going to stop at 3 pm and get on the road to come home and would try another day to get this working for the customer. well, that was almost 2 1/2 hours ago and I have not heard from him at all. He is not texting back and Mom has called but can't leave a message as his mailbox is full. I am taking it as he is still trying to get it going for his customer and now he will not get home until really late tonight. The drive is over 2 hours without traffic. If he left now he still would not be home until after 8 pm. Things like this frustrate Mom so much. He says one thing and does the opposite and doesn't call or message me to let me know. I should be used to it by now but I guess I am not. Mom will leave it that he gets home when he does. He just needs to be safe as we are getting really bad weather right now. It is rainy so hard and it is pitch dark outside. We are suppose to be getting major thunderstorms all night long now with high winds. Mom is hoping that everything will be okay. Watch over us and keep us all safe my sweet precious son. Thank you so much. Mom misses you more than words can say and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You will always be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you will be my shining star that lights my way through the day and night and through the good and the bad. Thank you for always being by my side, Tyler. You will remain in Mom's heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will light the candle as soon as I am done writing to you and I will whisper to you as I do every night before I go to sleep. I sure hope that your evening will be filled with so many wonderful things for you to do and learn. May you get to go to some new places as well and if you can come visit Mom in my dreams tonight or sit next to me while I sleep.
Mom does not have hardly any new updates for you. I spoke to Meme and Grandpa last night for a few. Everything is good their way. Aunt Shirley messages me almost every morning. Nothing has changed with Great Grammy. I guess she will be chatting with Grandpa tonight. Mom's evening will consist of making dinner for one, feeding the pups and then watching a couple movies until it is time to go to bed. Pretty quiet on my end. It is quiet outside as well. No one is out because of the rain. Mom is going to have to cut this letter short tonight because both pups are scared of the rain. Ozzy is hiding under the bed and Princess is in my chair shaking. I guess I need to tend to them right now and make them feel as safe as I can. It is weird as their hasn't been any thunder that I have heard of. Anyways.... Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then..... good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Your word, O Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens. Your faithfulness continues through all generations; you established the earth, and it endures. Your laws endure to this day, for all things serve you. Psalm 119:89–91, NIV
Lord God, we thank you for your Word, greatest and most glorious of all that comes to our human life. Every day we want to find more joy in your help, in what you are doing for us. Again and again we feel and rejoice in the new help, new strength, and new courage for life given by your Word. We seek and seek to find Jesus Christ, the eternal Life. He will surely come to establish your kingdom. Praise to your name, eternal, glorious, almighty God! Be with us poor, lowly people. Strengthen us in spirit, and enable us to persevere until everything is fulfilled that is promised by your Word. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. It seems like a Monday though with everything that is going wrong today. It started out this morning when Mark was getting ready for work. He did his usual workout and then headed into the shower. He let the water run to get warm like we both do before getting in and there was no hot water. Mom went around to all the sinks and other tub and sure enough we had no hot water at all in the apartment. Mom got on the phone and called the leasing office and put a ticket in for maintenance to stop by as we also noticed that the drip pan around the water heater was not draining either. That was all done at 8:45 am and they were here to look at it around 10 am. Maintenance got here and looked at it and said that water was leaking from inside the tank now and the water heater was blown. To say the least the showers this morning were quick and very cold! The plumber got here quickly and changed everything out. The old one was taken out and the new one was put in in less than 2 hours. Mom was locked in her office with the pups so that everyone could do their job without them barking and distracting them. I studied and finished up my exam. This was another complex one. I submitted it because I couldn't do anything else to change my answers. I think I either got a 84 or 82 on it so that is good. It is a B and I am very okay with that. I will know the exact grade probably tomorrow afternoon when the instructor grades it completely with my essay questions. Tomorrow will be the start of the final exam in this course while Mark is gone all day and into the evening doing his cutover. It will be quiet and the pups will be sleepy because it is suppose to rain all day and thunderstorms are possible. Mom will also have the chance to do some house cleaning too....dusting, vacuum, laundry while Mark is gone. It will be a very busy day indeed and with that tonight will be a very early night to go to bed and get some sleep. Mom will feed the pups, make dinner, do the clean up with that and then relax for a couple hours and then go to bed. Not much else for the evening I am afraid as Mark needs to get some solid sleep too for his long day tomorrow.
We were having some sun and humid temps all day but about 30 minutes ago the skies let loose and the rain came down in buckets. It has now stopped for the most part but it is thundering and the pups are scared. Ozzy is under the bed and Princess is shaking. I wish they were not scared of thunder or fireworks. It would be a lot easier but that is not the case at all. Mom will do all that I know to keep them feeling safe. I usually hold princess until she calms down and then I continuously call for Ozzy and eventually he crawls out from under the bed and comes to me. I hope this is not an insight to what lies ahead for the evening or it will be a long one and tiring.
The phone has been quiet all day long. No one has called. I spoke to Grandpa last night. Him and Deb are doing well. Having some small issues with their cable provider but that is about it. Aunt Shirley messaged Mom today though. She was saying that her and Dad need to get together in person and talk about Great Grammy. Things are not good I am afraid. I have been saying it more to you on these letters that it won't be long but Mom is thinking that the day is coming sooner than what we expected. She is not being treated well at all and her care is being done half *ss. You know all about that and so does Mom. Mom is hoping that Great Grammy passes peacefully as I know that she is suffering right now and that is not right. Mom will keep you posted as Aunt Shirley is going to call me later this evening if she can. Mom has no other updates at all for today. Maybe more as the weekend approaches.
I sure hope that your evening is filled with all the things that you would like to do and need to do. May you have fun learning new things and going new places while I get some sleep tonight. I will light the candle this evening and also be listening for Mom to whisper to you. Smile to Mom and I will smile to you my sweet precious son. Mom sure hopes to see a stunning painting in the sky from you soon. I saw the moon a couple nights ago and that was the first time in a long time. I smiled and whispered to you then to. Mom needs to get going so that I can start doing the night routine stuff. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then..... good night and sweet dreams. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. You are my bright shining star that lights my way day and night. You are forever in my heart, mind, body and soul. I miss you and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Father in heaven, Creator of what is good, beautiful, and full of joy so that all may work in harmony with you, we thank you for all the good that comes to us. May we be your children, joined together to serve you. May our life bring joy to others, and may we do good without ceasing through your great, strong love, which moves us, strengthens us, and helps us every day, however hard life may be. May your name be praised throughout the world. May your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as in heaven. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday early evening? Mom is doing as best as she can! I just got done studying and made some progress on my next exam. I didn't study all day like I planned on because I was watching Princess for most of the morning. Mark left for his office at 8 am and about an hour later Princess appeared to be having a puppy dream. I woke her and she looked up at me and acknowledged Mom and laid back down. About 20 minutes or so later she was having another one but this time she was not responding to my voice and she was just staring... blank stare. Mom kept talking to her and I pretty much knew that she was having a petite-mal seizure. She came out of it pretty quickly. I stayed beside her for the entire morning to make sure she was not going to have another one and that she was alright. Mark came home early from his office as he couldn't get the work done there like he wanted to. When Mark arrived home, Mom made the bed, did the breakfast dishes and then got ready. I came in to study about 1 pm and it is now going on 5 pm. This day just flew by and I am okay with that.
The weather is sunny and humid today. We haven't been outside yet but we will take the pups for a walk in a bit as I did not want them to burn their little puppy pads as the pavement will be warm. Mom will feed them after I write to you and then head out. After we come back in I will get dinner going for Mark and I. The phone has been pretty quiet today. Bob has called a couple of times but that is about it. I did have a conversation with Aunt Shirley yesterday evening. She was not feeling good so we did not talk long at all. Her eyes are getting worse and eventually she will become blind. That is so sad to hear. She has the same disease that Great Grammy does. She is there with her today and said that Great Grammy is not doing well and she is in a lot of pain. She sleeps more and more every day now. She admitted to me that she is failing fast. She also sent Mom a picture of her and it was sad to see. Great Grammy has lost a good amount of weight because she is not eating and hardly drinks now. Her skin is very pale white. The picture broke my heart. I wish that she would stop hanging on and just gain her Angel wings. Mom will miss her but she is suffering and in pain. I don't like to see that. She is ready and has been ready for years now so it is her time. I know that she will have you, her brothers and sisters plus so many friends awaiting her arrival. Mom knows it won't be long. I am waiting for the call and I am prepared for it. There are so many others that have recently gained their Angel wings as well. Many of these Mom knew as a little girl while growing up. Sad to hear about them all. My thoughts and prayers are with the families. I wish that everyone rests in peace for eternal life now. Aunt Beck got in touch with Mom and told e that they are headed out tomorrow for their vacation. They waited a few days because of the rainy weather. Bean goes to see the Endocrinologist on August 7th...Great Grammy's Birthday. She will be seeing this specialist for extended tests on her thyroid and to see what plan of treatment is best for her. Mom is keeping her fingers crossed that it is all good news. I know you will be watching over Bean. Thank you pumpkin. everyone else is doing okay. Busy with work and every day life. Mom will keep you posted as I know of things.
Tonight will be a night of relaxing and watching TV after dinner and clean up is done. We might sit outside for a bit depending on the humidity. Mom is tired so it will be an early night for sure. Mark will be busy again tomorrow with work and Thursday is a long day for him as he has another cutover to be done. That is the 2nd one this week. I sure do hope that things slow down for him and soon. You know how I worry about him. Mom will look over her exam again tomorrow and then submit it to be graded and looks like Thursday and Friday with be the days I do my final exam in this class. Next week will be a whole new class for Mom to start! I will light the candle this evening again and I will whisper to you as I always do. Be sure to smile for Mom when you hear me and I will smile right back to you. I miss you my sweet precious son and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You will forever be my bright shining star that lights the path for Mom. You are and always will be the wind beneath my wings and my one true hero. have fun tonight while I get some sleep. Come visit if you can. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then....good night and sweet dreams. Time for Mom to get dinner going for Mark and I as it is already 5:45 pm and I haven't started.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Her eyes are getting worse and eventually she will become blind. That is so sad to hear. She has the same disease that Great Grammy does. She is there with her today and said that Great Grammy is not doing well and she is in a lot of pain. She sleeps more and more every day now. She admitted to me that she is failing fast. She also sent Mom a picture of her and it was sad to see. Great Grammy has lost a good amount of weight because she is not eating and hardly drinks now. Her skin is very pale white. The picture broke my heart. I wish that she would stop hanging on and just gain her Angel wings. Mom will miss her but she is suffering and in pain. I don't like to see that. She is ready and has been ready for years now so it is her time. I know that she will have you, her brothers and sisters plus so many friends awaiting her arrival. Mom knows it won't be long. I am waiting for the call and I am prepared for it. There are so many others that have recently gained their Angel wings as well. Many of these Mom knew as a little girl while growing up. Sad to hear about them all. My thoughts and prayers are with the families. I wish that everyone rests in peace for eternal life now. Aunt Beck got in touch with Mom and told e that they are headed out tomorrow for their vacation. They waited a few days because of the rainy weather. Bean goes to see the Endocrinologist on August 7th...Great Grammy's Birthday. She will be seeing this specialist for extended tests on her thyroid and to see what plan of treatment is best for her. Mom is keeping her fingers crossed that it is all good news. I know you will be watching over Bean. Thank you pumpkin. everyone else is doing okay. Busy with work and every day life. Mom will keep you posted as I know of things.
Tonight will be a night of relaxing and watching TV after dinner and clean up is done. We might sit outside for a bit depending on the humidity. Mom is tired so it will be an early night for sure. Mark will be busy again tomorrow with work and Thursday is a long day for him as he has another cutover to be done. That is the 2nd one this week. I sure do hope that things slow down for him and soon. You know how I worry about him. Mom will look over her exam again tomorrow and then submit it to be graded and looks like Thursday and Friday with be the days I do my final exam in this class. Next week will be a whole new class for Mom to start! I will light the candle this evening again and I will whisper to you as I always do. Be sure to smile for Mom when you hear me and I will smile right back to you. I miss you my sweet precious son and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You will forever be my bright shining star that lights the path for Mom. You are and always will be the wind beneath my wings and my one true hero. have fun tonight while I get some sleep. Come visit if you can. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then....good night and sweet dreams. Time for Mom to get dinner going for Mark and I as it is already 5:45 pm and I haven't started.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is the prayer:
So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. Hebrews 10:35–36, NIV
Lord our God, we bow down before you in this time when you have brought us hardships and judgment. Change this earthly age, we beseech you. Bring in something from heaven so that your will may be done and your mercy come to all nations. Strengthen us on all our ways, we pray. We thank you for all you have done for us. May your name be praised and glorified at all times. We want to follow you and to remain in your heavenly life. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is doing better today. I actually got lots of restful sleep last night so that helped out tremendously! I was in bed at 10 pm and I woke up this morning at 7:30 am. My tracker said that I got 6 hours of restful sleep and 2 1/2 hours of light sleep. That is better than what I have been getting. This morning Mom got up after lounging in bed for a bit to wake myself up, I made breakfast, did the clean up on that, got ready and because it was raining then I came right in and started studying. I actually wrote out my answers for exam 5 and submitted it. That was such a complex exam. Mom passed it either way but my grade will be determined when my instructor grades the essay questions. I got either get a 77 or an 85 depending so I will find out probably tomorrow at the latest what my final grade is. I am happy with either grade though! Mom also started on the next 2 chapters and started the next exam. I am part way done. I have most of the essay questions finished and have a few multiple choice questions to do. I will be done that by tomorrow and then it will be the final exam in that class. Mom would have been done this all last week but I took the week off to relax and feel better. Mark has been busy working all day long today as well. He started his day at 7 am though. He has been doing a cutover for a customer for most of the day. No breaks for him ever. He works hard at his job. Mom is thankful for all that he does and how hard he works to support us. I can't wait for the day that I can contribute to it though. It will make me feel good about myself again. I have 9 more classes to do and then it will be the end and I will have an associates degree! I am getting excited about it! It has been a very long time coming!
The weather today has been crazy. Rain and gray with clouds to sun and blue skies to rain again to sun. It is suppose to do that all day today and all this week I guess. Not much sun for the next several days. It is humid though. Right now it is sunny again and the skies are blue but it is getting darker again so the rain will be coming soon. Mom is hoping to see some beautiful colors in the sky from your paintings. It has been 3 weeks since we have seen a gorgeous one. Get those brushes out and paint away my sweet precious son!
Last night was pretty relaxing. Mom made dinner and then did the clean up. Mark and I watched TV for a bit, groceries were delivered and Mom put them away and then by 8 pm my eyes were closing as I was so tired. I stayed awake for a little bit longer but not much. Mark and Mom totally missed the skype call last night as well. We remembered after the fact and by then it was too late. We will have to reschedule again for either next Sunday or the following one. Tonight will be getting the pups fed, having dinner and clean up from that and then relaxing for the evening. The rain has been quite heavy so it will not be a good evening to sit on the balcony at all. Guess we will catch up on our taped shows and call it a night as tomorrow is another school day for me and work for Mark. Mom can't believe that this Sunday the 29th would have been your 28th Birthday. That is so hard to believe. Mom would give anything to have planned another gathering for your special day with our family and friends. I loved doing that for you. I had so much fun. I guess I will make sure to do all kinds of things that you would have wanted to or liked. It will be a day of honoring you and dedicating everything that day to you. I miss you so much. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. To infinity and beyond. You are forever in my heart, mind, body and soul. You will live inside there always. You are my hero, the wind beneath my wings and the bright star that lights my way day and night. Thank you. Mom will light the candle for you tonight and whisper to you later just like I do every night. Come visit me if you get a chance. I would love that. Mom sure hopes that your night will be filled with all the things that you would like to do and need to do. May you have fun learning and exploring new things and places. Mom will update you on things as soon as I get anything. For now I need to get going so that I can feed the pups, get dinner for us and also call Aunt Shirley. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Until tomorrow comes.....good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:
Salvation is to be found through him alone; in all the world there is no one else whom God has given who can save us. Acts 4:12, TEV
Dear Father in heaven, we thank you that you have revealed to us the name Jesus Christ, the name of your Son, who leads us to you as your children. May your hand be plainly seen over all the suffering and dying people of our time. May your hand soon bring in a new age, a time truly of God and of the Savior, fulfilling what has long been promised. Watch over us this night. Bless us. In suffering, continue to uphold us with your mighty hand. In grief, may your name still be honored. May your kingdom come, breaking into all the evil of the world, and may your will be done on earth as in heaven. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Mom and Mark are back home now from the weekend in NH. To say the least there were several ups and downs to this trip. Let Mom explain what happened during our weekend. Friday morning I asked Mark if he wanted to pack the vehicle before we got on his call because they was a lot to pack up. He said now as it shouldn't take any longer than 15 minutes to do it all. I said okay and on he went to take his conference call. That was suppose to last 1 hour. It was noon time and I went in to tell Mark and he did get off the phone at that point, he showered and then we loaded up everything and we were on the road at 12:45 pm. 45 minutes later than what we wanted but that was okay. We no sooner started and we hit a ton of traffic. It was a mess. A 2 1/2 hour drive up to NH took us almost 4 hours. Mark was angry at something and wouldn't tell me but I insisted that he did and he was angry that we had to take so much stuff up there with us. I nicely explained that it was his idea! To say the least and to make a long story short... he was so angry we did not speak for the last 2 hours of the drive. We finally got to the hotel at 4:45 pm Mom's friend was there to get all the stuff we brought up and then we got into the hotel room. Mark left to go to the rehearsal dinner and Mom stayed behind with the pups. I was so dehydrated and so sore that I couldn't go. Mom ordered dinner out and Meme and Bob came over to keep me company from 6 pm to 8 pm. Mom watched a movie after they left and Mark got back around 10 pm. We went to bed right after. Saturday morning Mom was up at 6 am and Mark slept in until 7:30 am. I fed the pups, got ready and waited for him to get ready. We left the hotel at 11:30 am and dropped the pups off to Meme so she could watch them while we went to the wedding. We left her house late because Mark was helping Bob with a couple things so any chance of Mom doing anything before hand was out at that point. We got to the wedding just in time as they started about 10 minutes after we arrived. It was hot and humid and we were in the sun for about 3 1/2 hours. Mom stayed as long as I could and finally I told Mark that I needed to go so that I could get something to eat, relax as I was feeling pretty sick. We got back to Meme's at 4 pm and then we stayed there for a few so Mom could cool off, drink some water and grab a snack. We left and went back to the hotel around 5:15 pm. Meme, Bob, Grandpa and Debbie all came over and we had dinner together and played some poker until around 9 pm. Everyone left and mark and Mom relaxed for about an hour before turning the lights out so that we could get some sleep. We both wanted to leave early so that we beat the traffic and also to make it easier on Mom. We were up, ready and out the door at 8:20 am. Gassed up the vehicle and off we went. We really left at the right time because we hit no traffic at all and we were home at 11:15 am. Took us under 2 1/2 hours to get here. Mom came in started drinking water and took he meds at 12 noon. After that we gave the pups baths, Mom vacuumed and I am doing all the dirty laundry and pup blankets from this weekend. I also just got done paying bills and doing the grocery shopping which they will be here later this evening with it all. Mom did really good on the drive back. I was listening to music and singing away while Mark drove and the pups were asleep. It was a nice ride and fast trip home....Thank God for that! Mom is doing much better and I have 3 more doses of the meds to take. Tuesday will be the 1st day without them but I am doing really good! Thank you for watching over Mom and all of us. It means so much to me. Mom does have to apologize to you though. I didn't get the chance to write yesterday at all. It was busy all through the day and last night after everyone left I was asleep about an hour later. Mom also needs to tell you that I feel very guilty because I did not get the chance to go visit you at all. Mom was crushed by that. I even told Meme that. I feel horrible and it has been weighing heavy on my mind. I know you are not mad at me and saw everything that took place but Mom is mad at herself and I need to work through it. Please forgive me. Mom has a feeling that we will be back up there very soon because of Grammy. She is sick again so this time was not good to go see her. Things get more grim every day and both Grandpa and Aunt Shirley are saying that now. I honestly think she wants to hear that it is okay to go and gain her Angel wings from them both but no one is saying it so she is hanging on for that. Mom is going to be chatting with Aunt Shirley tomorrow before I study all day so I am hoping to talk to her about that. Later tonight, we are suppose to have a skype call but I think we are going to postpone it another week because of everything this weekend and how busy Mom has been since we got back plus our groceries will be delivered during that time and it just isn't a good night. We will do it next weekend. Mark has a cutover Monday evening so it will be a quiet night tonight and a quiet night tomorrow for sure. Other than that everything is good. Aunt Beck is on vacation for 2 weeks so we will chat when she gets home. She will keep me posted about Bean as well. Mom is hoping for a peaceful evening for both you and us here. I hope you get to do all the things that you need and would like to do. Have fun while I sleep later this evening. Come visit me in my dreams if you can! Thank you my sweet precious son. I will be lighting the candle soon and I promise to whisper to you later as well. Smile when you hear Mom and I will smile back. I miss you beyond any words can express and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are forever in my heart, mind, body and soul. You will always be my hero, the wind beneath my wings and my shining star that lights the way for me in my life now. Mom needs to get going so that I can finish things up here and then it will be time for the evening routine of feeding the pups and getting dinner going for us. I will be back tomorrow though so until then.... good night and sweet dreams.

Here is the prayer for the day:
You are those who have stood by me in my trials. And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me, so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom Luke 22:28–30a, NIV
Lord our God, we thank you that we may be your children and that we may hope in your Spirit. Your Spirit rules us as people whom you want to draw to yourself, as people who may serve you in their lives here on earth. Grant that we may be childlike, so that your Spirit can rule us more and more and what is good may come to many people in all places. May many come to know that their lives are not merely temporal. May they realize that they can live and act in you, and through you may experience the good that is to come to all nations on earth. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday morning? Mom is waiting for Mark to get off his call so that we can pack the vehicle and hit the road to NH. Mom has decided to chance it instead of being alone here all weekend while Mark went up. I think I will do just fine as I have been staying very hydrated this morning already and I have taken my medicine. Mom is going to ask a favor of you though... can you please watch over us as we travel up there? Please have the traffic be light so that we are not stuck for a long period of time so that Mom will be okay on the drive up there and also the drive home Sunday morning. Mom is also going to ask that there are no other problems either... car trouble, tummy troubles, etc... thank you so much, Tyler! I know that you will be with Mom and Mark and the pups as well.
Mom wanted to write to you this morning because I know that I will not have a chance to write to you later this evening with everything going on for the pre-wedding stuff. I will however have the time to write you a short letter Saturday evening after everything is done and we are settled back at the hotel. We will be back Sunday afternoon so Mom will write to you before we have our skype call that evening. I like to try my hardest to write to you every day because I still feel so close to you. I miss you so much and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. You are my shining star that leads the way for me every new day and every evening. Mom obviously won't be able to light a candle for you the next couple of evenings but I will again on Sunday when I get back home. I will whisper to you just like I do every night before I go to bed. Hopefully you will visit Mom in my dreams tonight when I fall asleep.
Last night I spoke to Grandpa briefly. He is doing good. Him and Debbie have been pretty busy this week. They have gotten a lot done that they needed to do so it has been quite productive. Aunt Shirley was telling Mom that Grammy is failing fast now. Grandpa said that she sleeps all the time and when she is awake she basically just stares at you with no communication. Mom is sadden by this news. I really don't think it will be long at all now. Mom is hoping to go see her when we are up there but I don't think it is going to happen. I somehow am going to try though...even if it is just for 1 hour. Nothing else is new at all. I will continue to write what our family is doing and going through as I get the updates.
Mom needs to get going because Mark has to get off this call so we can get going. he said 15 minutes about 25 minutes ago. We need to beat the traffic so..... I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Have fun tonight while Mom sleeps and may you get to do all kinds of things that are needed of you and things you want to do as well. Until tomorrow comes..... good night and sweet dreams my sweet precious son.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Until tomorrow comes..... good night and sweet dreams my sweet precious son.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is the prayer:
They will be my people, and I will be their God. I will give them singleness of heart and action, so that they will always fear me and that all will then go well for them and for their children after them. Jeremiah 32:38–39, NIV
Lord our God, you want to be our God and you want us to be your people. Give us the inner integrity and the power to discern and reject what does not come from the heart, so that everything may be genuine among us. Then no lies and deception will creep in, and honesty and goodness will flow from our hearts to the glory of truth, to the glory of the gospel and the great hope you give us through the gospel. Guard our hearts. Protect the good that is planted in them, that it may grow and thrive and bear fruit. Amen.
