Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Well today is your most favorite holiday of the year... Happy Halloween to you wherever you maybe. It is such a weird day for Mom and it has been since the day you went away. Oh how I would love this day with you as we made it so much fun! The decorating, the candy, the trick or treating, etc... Mom loved dressing you up every year. You had such cute costumes. Let's see if I can remember them all.... You were a pumpkin, a dalmatian, a dragon, red ninja turtle, blue ninja turtle, a red power ranger, a white power ranger, a red M&M, a pirate, jig saw from the Saw movies, Jack from Nightmare Before Christmas... I know there were a couple more but I can't think of them. You decided at such a young age to stop going to get candy because you wanted to give the candy out to the littler kids. I think you were 14 years old. You had such a great time doing it as well! You remind me so much of Grandpa because he too, is just like a little child. You both love horror movies...the scarier the better! I wonder on this night if you are watching all the kids dressed up or do you not celebrate it anymore? Where we live they never used to have us hand out candy but this year they are going to try it. We were going to participate in it up until about an hour ago when Mark said he did not want to. Mom didn't argue with him but I am really bummed and disappointed for sure. It would have been the first time in over 6 years that we could. Mom will watch from the balcony tonight to see if I see any little ones and let you know tomorrow. Mom is also keeping the tradition that we started so many years ago. We always had pizza on this night to make things easier and to this day Mom still does it and I think of you. Tonight will be pepperoni pizza and french fries!
Mom wanted to say how sorry I was that I didn't write to you yesterday at all. I turned my computer on and had every intention of doing so but around 1 pm I started to not feel well so I shut everything down and I went and laid on the couch. I remember turning the TV on and watching a show and then the next thing I knew it was 3:30 pm. I fell asleep. When I woke up I felt a little better but I went to bed at 9:30 pm last night. Yesterday, Mom was pretty upset. It was suppose to be Mark's last day of vacation and I had a few things planned but I got the surprise when the alarm went off at 4 am and Mark got up and he left at 5:45 am to go do a cutover. He said he made the mistake and scheduled it forgetting that he was on vacation. I did not believe him for a minute. This is the same cutover that he had previously did 2 other times and failed. Yesterday's failed as well for the third time so now he has to do it all over again for the fourth time. Guess that will be next week sometime. I think that is why Mom didn't feel well because once Mark got up, the pups didn't let me go back to sleep. They didn't like that Mark left and cried and whined most of the time especially Princess. They are still getting used of the new place for sure but dang I was so annoyed on so many levels! Hopefully they start to feel at home soon!
This morning Aunt Beck called. It was nice to catch up with her. She is crazy busy with work and workshops but she is doing well. She saw pics of our new place and said that she loved it. She also asked Mom is I was doing an altar for our ancestors and family that are with you. I said that I didn't know what to do but after she explained it to Mom I told her about my shelf that we have here and it is up year round with tributes to you and our family. I told her that I light the candle for everyone as well and I whisper to you every time I light it. She said that was perfect! Mom will light the candle around 4 pm when it starts getting dark and I will again whisper to you as I always do. Smile for me and I will smile back. I guess Bean is doing better. Her and her BF are starting to look for houses. That is good news for them! I have not heard from Bean in about 6 months. I really don't hear from anyone anymore. I basically have written all my so called friends. I only hear from them when they are bored and have no one else to talk to or have anywhere to go that day. I used to deal with it but no more. No more excuses about being busy either. They all make time for others and can't make time for me...not even 5 minutes then I don't need them in my life any longer. That was a hard pill to swallow but it had to be done. Some I just thought would never do that but I guess like everything else... life gives you surprises, ups and downs. It used to hurt Mom a lot and at times it still does but not like it used to. I will never wish ill on anyone ever, I wish them well in everything that life has to offer and move on and move forward.
Today the weather was suppose to be sunny but guess what...it is not sunny at all. It is overcast and the once blue skies are turning gray. We are suppose to be getting rain again for the next 4 days...hmmm...imagine that! The weather was saying that the average rainfall that we get had tripled this year. I believe that! We have had almost all rain for the last 3 months with hardly any sunshine. Mom is thankful that it is still rain and not the nasty "s" word just yet but boy I am missing the dry, sunny days even if it is cold. We didn't have a Fall at all this year. The leaves have not really fallen all that much yet and the colors just seem to be turning a lot around here now. It is almost like we are a couple months behind in the weather. Tomorrow is November 1st. Crazy for sure. There are 4 weeks until Thanksgiving and 8 weeks until Christmas. Usually Mom has almost all the Christmas shopping done by now and I am working on wrapping but not this year. with the move and all I am so far behind. We all have decided that we are doing gift cards for everyone to make it easier. It works for me. Now all I have to do is make a list to see what I need to get...lol! I will do that over the weekend. Not much else for updates I am afraid. The phones are super quiet now and have been for about 3 weeks or more. I will touch base with everyone soon. Right now though, Mom needs to get going so that I can do a few things around the apartment and then get things set for the night routine later. I will be back tomorrow with a whole new set of pics for you for the month of November. Not sure what they will be but I will figure it out. I always do! I miss you like crazy and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You will always be my super hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you will live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Have fun tonight while I sleep and come visit me in my dreams if you can. I would love that so much. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams later.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:
Let those who fear the Lord say: "His love endures forever." When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord; he brought me into a spacious place. The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? Psalm 118:4–6, NIV
Lord our God, dear Father in heaven, we thank you. How often you rescue us from all fear and distress! How often you hear and answer us! Grant that our hearts may always be eager and joyful because you answer us. There is nothing else for us in this world; you are our one hope, our only hope. You alone can help our times, help the nations, help each person. Nothing else matters to us. Lord our God, for the rest of our life on earth you alone are our help, our comfort, and our strength. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is doing a little better but still pretty sore. After a nice long bath last night my back is doing better but my calves still hurt a lot. I think it will be a few days before they start to feel better! Mark's back is still bothering him though. Again... in a few days I think things will be back to normal. We have been up since 6 am seeings how the pups thought it was time to eat and neither of us decided to go back to bed after. We lounged in bed for a bit and then Mark got ready and Mom made the bed and did a few things around the apartment and then I got ready after. When we we both finished we decided to tackle the garage. That was a chore. It was 2 hours of h*ll for us. Mom swept the entire thing and rearranged everything from where the movers just set everything aside while Mark broke down some shelves that we no longer needed. We worked as a team and it worked out well. We finished that up and then Mark has been continuing working on his office while Mom did a few things that were needed on the computer and then I spoke to Aunt Shirley. She is doing as well as can be expected. She teared up a few times on the phone talking about Great Grammy. She misses her so much but I told her that she is always with her and watching over her like you are with me. As I was chatting with her, Grandpa was there visiting. I chatted with him for a few as well. That was funny. I told him I would call him tonight so that he could visit with Aunt Shirley and Richard. He was pretty darn happy along with everyone else in New England, especially Boston because the Red Sox won the World Series last night against the LA Dodgers 5-1. They played 5 games total out of a possible 7 games. Red Sox won 4 out of the 5 games played. The other night though the game went into another 9 innings, double the time of a regular game with the Dodgers winning at the end with a home run. I guess that was a great game. we didn't see it as the last 3 nights we have been in bed sleeping at 8:30 -9 pm from just pure exhaustion. That is about all the updates that I have for you. I tried calling Aunt Beck today but no answer. I left a message though. I will call Meme tonight and Grandpa later. Hopefully I will have some updates for you on tomorrows letter. Tuesday is the last day of Mark's vacation. I think we are going to go out to get a few things that are needed for the apartment. Not much just 3 or 4 things that are necessary and then have a relaxing rest of the day as Wednesday is the first day back for Mark and also for Mom to go back to school. It is also Halloween. I sure hope the weather holds out for the kids because as of right now it is suppose to rain again... hmm...go figure. We are back to getting all rain and no sun. Right now however the sun is peeking out and the skies are trying to be blue. It has rained all day long again and has been that way since Saturday. I have to saw it is pretty nice to have things out of boxes and out in the open once again. We are still both getting used to the place though. It will take some time but we both think we made the right choice. It felt good to be back in the kitchen and make dinner last night. Mom is going to make homemade Shepard's pie with biscuits tonight. It should be yummy and I know it was one of your favorites. Mom misses you so much. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my forever hero and the wind beneath my wings. You will always be in my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will be lighting a candle in a bit for you. It will be a new one and the first one in the new place! How exciting! I will whisper to you as I always do as well tonight so be listening and smile when you hear Mom and I will smile back to you. Have fun while I sleep and come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thank you. Mom needs to get going so that I can get dinner prepped as it will take a bit to do so until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams my sweet precious son.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:
Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, Lord. They rejoice in your name all day long; they celebrate your righteousness. Psalm 89:15–16, NIV
Dear Father in heaven, how lovingly you have thought of us! How much good you let us experience again and again! So our hearts are happy, and we go to rest this night full of joy and thanks because we are your children. Our thanks and joy shall be our service to you day and night. More than this you do not ask, and in this we will be faithful. We want to be joyful and to be glad for our lives. Even when we face dark hours, O Lord our God, we are filled with hope that brings us joy for the future as well as for the present, with assurance that your salvation is coming. We rejoice in what you give us already today. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday evening? Mom is so tired and so sore but I will get to that in a few minutes. Mom is sorry that I didn't get the chance to write to you on Saturday like I said I would. These last few days have been beyond crazy with the move. Mom will tell you about the days so hear it goes.... Friday morning at 8 am the movers called to say they were almost to the apartment. Mom told them the contract states 9 am. Mark was all angry because I said that to them but the men could not start before that because it is what they consider quiet hours. At 8:30 am the guys started anyways and Mom went to the leasing office to get the keys and do a walk through with one of the staff. I was here for about 20 minutes before the woman came. When Mom got in here it was 57 degrees and we had no heat. Maintenance had to come and fix it. It literally took 4 hours to get it to 68 degrees. Mom was so cold but anyways.... Mom stayed over her to the new place with the pups while Mark was at the other place with the movers. They finally were done loading and ready to come here to the new place around 12 noon. They were here until 3 pm and Mom was so not happy with finding out that they called in another guy so that made 4 men and we got charged for that plus extra hours and the materials that they used and then took back...we didn't even keep the stuff. Mom started unpacking at 3 pm and did it until 8:30 pm when I went to bed because I was so tired and so sore. I was back up at 7 am Saturday morning. I fed the pups and got right to unpacking some more. The weather was awful all day with heavy heavy rain and 45 mph winds from 8 am until 9 pm last night. It was a good day to do the unpacking though. Mom unpacked and set up the kitchen, dining room, living room, 2 closets, the 2 bathrooms and the master bedroom closet while Mark worked on his office the whole day and did not help me at all. Mom stopped at 7:30 pm and got something for dinner and then crawl into bed at 9 pm. Mom could hardly move. My calf muscles were all cramped up like "charlie horses" and I could hardly walk. It hurt so bad. It still hurt this morning. I have been sleeping like crap too. Still getting used to a new place. It is really quiet here though. Not a lot of activity that I have heard so far which is nice. Today, Mom worked on her office for about 3 hours and then started to get the boxes broken down and bubble wrap into trash bags, etc... I made our first meal as well which was nice. Speaking of that I need to make dinner soon as it is going on 6 pm now. Mark took the whole day again doing his office and he still is not done. He stopped at 4:30 pm and went and sat down to watch TV and never bothered to help me out at all so I decided to cool it because I am so angry right now and come write to you. Tomorrow will be a day of straightening the garage out and doing all the garbage plus putting things on the walls. After that we will be done all except what Mark wants to do with the rest of his office. Mom will be happy when it is all done and things can get back to the routine that we are used to. That might happen on Tuesday...lol!
It is so dark out already. Next week we turn the clocks back so it will be dark by 4 pm and it will stay that way for about 3 months. Today it was overcast and the sun didn't shine at all. Mom was so thankful for the weather we had Friday for the movers and not what we had on Saturday as it would have taken even longer for them because the weather was so bad. I think the sun will be shining tomorrow but the temps will be cold. Think our nice weather is gone for the season but it is to be expected because in 4 days it will be November 1st. Mom has no updates for you at all. Everyone has left us alone the last few days to get settled. Meme did call this morning but we only chatted for about 10 minutes. I will touch base with everyone again during the week. I sure hope that your evening is filled with everything that you need to do and want to do! Come visit Mom in my dreams if you can tonight. Thank you my sweet precious son. I miss you and I have been whispering to you all the time..have you heard Mom? Hope so and I hope you smiled as well. I will again tonight so be listening out for me. I will smile to you. 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. Forever in my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom needs to get going for now so that I can make dinner but I will be back tomorrow and then every day after as well. After dinner, Mom is going to soak in a hot bath and then probably go to bed because I am exhausted. Until tomorrow comes... good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

I will smile to you. 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. Forever in my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom needs to get going for now so that I can make dinner but I will be back tomorrow and then every day after as well. After dinner, Mom is going to soak in a hot bath and then probably go to bed because I am exhausted. Until tomorrow comes... good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is the pray for the day:
Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High, and call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me. Psalm 50:14–15, NIV
Dear Father in heaven, we want to praise you together and to thank you with all our hearts for your goodness and your deliverance from our many needs. Accept our thanks, and help us go on our way with ever joyful hearts. Make us ready for whatever you have prepared for us, your children. Bless us in our individual lives and bless us in our community. Let your Spirit shed its rays into all places to comfort people's hearts and to restore and strengthen their faith. May your name be praised forevermore. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom has been so busy all day and so has Mark. We got up early this morning and Mark went and ran some last minute errands that we needed while Mom stayed home and got everything out of the closets and into various rooms. We have managed to pack everything that we are not using now and the only things left are the stuff we will be needing tomorrow morning to get ready. The movers will be here at 9 am sharp and we will be ready to rock n roll! The last 3 1/2 weeks have gone by fast that is for sure. Mom has been sad the last several days knowing that Friday is coming. Today is the last day here in this apartment. I have such mixed feelings about the whole thing. I will miss our view the most but will not miss the firework noises come Spring and Summer. There will be no more watching the fireworks from our balcony during the 4th of July either but we can go to the Tavern to see them if we really want to! We have had some really good times here in this apartment with our family and friends and some not so good times here as well. Mom is hoping that I will feel just as comfortable in the new place as I do here in this one. Just like everything in life there is an end to all things and a new beginning as well. Mom will be alright in a few days I am sure. Please just be with me during the transition to help me out. Thank you my sweet precious son!
Last night I had full intention of calling Meme and Grandpa to say hello but I never did. I had the time to but just didn't. I will be making those calls tonight definitely. I have no updates for you at all because I have not spoken to anyone in the last 5 days. Remember that I will not have the chance to write to you tomorrow at all because of the move but I will be back to writing to you Saturday evening. It will probably be a short letter but I don't want to go more than a day/night without writing to you. Sunday Mom will be back on track and getting back to normal and settling in. My hope is to have mostly everything done by Saturday evening so that come Sunday all we have to do is put things on the walls. That is my hope and my plan. Lets see if it works. Mark will be concentrating on helping the cable guy and getting our bed together while Mom is doing other things. After Mark is done he is going to be with the pups to help them while I continue to march forward. I think it will all work out. It is just preanxiety right now! In about an hour we are headed to the leasing office to get the new keys and go tour the new place to get an idea of where we want to put things come tomorrow. After that, it will be back here to make dinner and then relax for the evening. Some TV and then early to bed for us! Mom hopes that you have a fun night as well doing all kinds of things that you need to do and may want to do. Come be with me or visit in my dreams tonight if you can. Thank you. I am missing you so much, Tyler. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You will always be the wind beneath my wings and my true hero. Forever you will live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. After I finish on here, Mom's computer, keyboard and all is being packed away until Saturday. I will miss not writing to you tomorrow but I will be whispering to you all day long and all night too. Smile when you hear me and I will smile to you as well. Mom needs to get going so that I am not late for our appointment in a little bit. The candle is lit for you and has been all day long. I will light one for you Saturday night so be watching for it and know when you see it burning bright it is burning for you. Until Saturday comes..... good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
P.S. It rained again yesterday and Mom saw another beautiful rainbow. I will post that picture on here tonight as well. Red Sox won the 2nd game of the World Series. They need to keep it up for another 2 games and they win! Grandpa must be so happy!

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12, RSV
Lord our God, grant that our spirit may recognize your Spirit and your love, so that our lives cannot be swallowed up by passing concerns but are lifted to something higher. Help us hold fast to all the blessings you have allowed us to experience, the blessings you will certainly continue to give, even though new battles and new troubles are all around us. Send a great light to shine among the many people whose task is to lead the way so that your kingdom may come. Send light so that your name may be honored through our human deeds and you may be known as life for all. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? It is 3 pm and Mom finished her exam and submitted it! I sure hope I do good on it and did what the instructor wanted me to do! Guess we shall see in a day or so...lol. Mom wanted to finish it up so that come Monday I would be ready to start fresh with new chapters and a new exam. Mom is hoping to be pretty much settled in at the new place come Sunday morning. I have 2 days to reach that goal so I am going to try my hardest! The countdown is on and we are at 42 hours before all this chaos starts! Today, Mark started his vacation and we were suppose to do a few things but the weather just has been so nasty that he decided that we would get up early tomorrow and do it all. We have the time as there really is not much left to do. Mom will do the last bit of laundry and move things to the rooms so that nothing is in the closets or back rooms just in the front except for the big furniture! It has been raining like crazy today. It rains, then stops, then rains, then stops. The sun is trying so hard to come out but no luck. Yesterday afternoon though was a different story. It rained a lot and at one point the sun was shining with it still pouring rain. Mom said... there has to be a rainbow so I went looking for it and low and behold I sure did find not one but a double full rainbow. Oh Ty it was so beautiful. Mom got some pictures but they really didn't do it justice at all. That is the 3rd rainbow that I have seen in 4 years here. I sure will miss this beautiful view that we have had but Mom knows it is time to give it up and let someone else enjoy it for awhile. What a beautiful send off though to see that yesterday. We had a few good thunderstorms as well. They were severe too and the pups were so scared. Mom held Ozzy and Mark held Princess. I guess there was a water spout tornado that touched down in Boston and a tornado warning where your Aunt Ann and Uncle Ray live. It is scary. Everything and everyone is fine though. All storms stopped at 8:30 pm. We went to bed at 10 pm because we all were exhausted. Tonight will be an interesting night....after Mom is done writing to you I will be getting things mostly set so that tomorrow I will not have much to do except let my body relax and unwind before the next 2 days of unpacking! Tonight will be quick calls to Meme and Grandpa and then watching TV and then going to bed early so that we can get up early to finish things up. Mom has yet again no updates for you at all. I feel terrible but everyone knows how crazy busy we are and I don't think they want to bother us at all. Mom understands that so that is why I will reach out to them briefly. Maybe in a day or two I will have something for you but I know that you already know what is going on as you see everything now. That you for always being by my side and everyone else's. It means so much to me. Please continue.
Just a few minutes ago, Mom had a few more marshmallow peep ghosts. They are just so good. I had such energy and a sugar high last night...lol! Mark was laughing at me. Guess he will be doing the same again tonight. I had a lot of energy and I got a lot done too. Mom crashed hard though later. That is a good thing. I thought I would sleep better than I did but nope. Weird for sure but maybe tonight. Mom just has a lot on her mind. I seem to be second guessing everything now and that is not cool. You know how I get though. I make decisions and then always second guess if I am doing the right thing. I just need to calm down and know it is for the best.
Mom has had the candle lit for you since early this morning. I will be burning it tomorrow to but I don't think I will get to burning one on Friday unless I find them because this one is almost finished. If I don't get to it then I will be burning one on Saturday for sure. Just bare with me through this transition. Thank you so much my sweet precious son. I miss you so much and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. Forever you will be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. You will always live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom sure hopes that you have a fun night tonight while I try to get some sleep. If you have time come visit me in my dreams or sit beside me. Many hugs and kisses to you and all our family, pets and friends that are with you. I love them all and miss them too. Mom will be back tomorrow to write to you again but for now time is ticking and I need to get a few things done before it is dinner time. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
P.S. Red Sox are in the Worlds Series! Game 1 was last night... they won 8-4. Tonight will be Game 2. Hope they keep winning. Grandpa will be so happy!

Here is the prayer for today:
For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from the Father. John 16:27, RSV
Dear Father in heaven, we thank you that with our poor, faulty, sinful, and death-ridden lives we may find shelter in your love. We thank you that we are your children. We thank you that whatever we are, however depressed we are about ourselves and the inadequacy of our own nature, we are still your children. Give us your Spirit, we pray. Give us your Holy Spirit, penetrating our whole nature, our flesh and blood, keeping us firm in faith under all temptation and distress. Give us your Spirit to fill us with hope as we look to the future, to fill us with certainty in our Lord Jesus Christ, who was, and is, and is to come, whose victory is before our eyes so that we never waver or become afraid. Give us your Spirit so that we may live in this certainty and prepare ourselves more and more for your coming into the world. May we come to know that your loving-kindness is at work today, that in the end your deliverance will come quickly, to the glory of your name. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is such a terrible person for not writing to you again yesterday. I wanted to so bad but yesterday was just not a good day for Mom at all. I got up early and was not feeling well and it just got worse as the day went on. Mom turned her computer on to study and write to you but after 12 noon, I was feeling so bad that I left the computer on and went to sit on the couch and snuggle with the pups. Mark got home around 2 pm and he worked until 5 pm and Mom watched 2 movies before having to get up, feed the pups and then cook dinner. I still didn't feel good at during the evening either. I think that everything is just catching up with me and that I am anxious about the move. We were in bed at 10 pm because Mark had to be up at 4 am to go to work to do that cutover. Mom didn't think that I would fall right to sleep but I guess I did. I needed the rest but it was not a sound sleep that I would have liked to have. Maybe tonight we both will because we have been up since 4 am. The pups didn't know what was going on and they wanted to eat, Mom told them no and then they were restless. I think that Mark is resting right now or at least I hope he is. He needs to have a nap as he is exhausted. He got home around 1 pm today and again for the second time the cutover was unsuccessful. That means he has to do it all over again for the third time. Mom thinks that is ridiculous but he is okay with it. Right now we have other things to focus on and he started vacation the minute he got home! He is off for the next 8 days! He returns back to work on Halloween.
Right now the weather is so cold and dark. Bet you can't guess what it is doing??? Yup, it is raining as I am typing this to you. It is suppose to rain for the rest of the day and into the evening but the next 4 days are suppose to be cloudy/sunny and only 45 degrees. Winter is sadly approaching sooner than we all want it to. Some places are getting that nasty "s" word. They can have it because Mom doesn't want it. The weather for Friday's move is suppose to be clear, sunny, no rain and cold. That is okay and Mom will take it. I was hoping and praying for weather like that so thank you my sweet precious son and thank you to God and all the other Angels that helped with that. It sure means a lot to us!
Mom has absolutely no updates for you at all. I have not spoken to anyone in our family since Sunday. I will touch base with them tomorrow and then again briefly on Friday when we are out of this apartment and into our new one. Mom is having some anxiety over it all now. Everything is becoming real. I sure hope I like the new place and it is much quieter for us and the pups. The layout is so different and I am unsure of that the most. I just hope we are doing the right thing. Please be with Mom and ease the doubt that I am having right now. I really need it. Thank you. Again, remember that Mom will not be writing to you on Friday but I will write to you briefly on Saturday and Sunday will start the regular daily letters again. Mom will be talking and whispering to you so be listening. It will be throughout the day and night. I miss you so much. I miss you more than words can say. 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 are in my heart, mind, body and soul. That is where you will stay. Mom sure hopes that your evening will be everything that you need and want it to be. Come be with Mom or visit me in my dreams if you can. I would love that so much. The candle is lit for you already and Mom will whisper to you tonight so smile for me and I will smile for you. Right now I am sure that you can see Mom and I needed sugar to stay awake so guess what I am eating??? It is our favorite~ Marshmallow peeps that are shaped like ghosts! Every time I see them I think of you and remember how we would eat them all the time. It makes me smile but also sad. Mom can't help it. I wish you were here eating them with me and laughing the way we used to. We would get that gosh awful sugar high and then crash later because of it...lol. Memories.... that is all I have now and I cherish them so much. These last 5 1/2 years have been pure h*ll for me and all our family. I don't think time will ever get better with this but I will give it my best just for you. Help me along the way? Send those signs to Mom to keep reminding me that you are around. I need them all the time. Thank you.
Well it is not that time of day to start getting dinner going but I need to see if I can finish up some of the rest of my school work. I miss the last 2 days and I got a bit done already. I would like to get this one finished and submitted by Thursday so come Monday of next week I can start working on the next chapters and exam 4. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you I promise. Continue to watch over us and continue to fly high and free. Big hugs and kisses to you, our family and friends and pets that are with you on the other side now. You all are loved and missed so very much. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:3–5, NIV
Lord our God, Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who encourages and strengthens us in all distress, we thank you for turning our suffering into a pathway to life, so that we may be thankful and trusting through everything. You can change what we find hardest into what is best for us. Praise to your name that a way through sin and death is given to us. Praise to your name that you have shown us a way through all evil, a way that is blest. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Sunday evening? Mom is wanting to say sorry for not writing to you yesterday but the day Mark and Mom had was jammed packed with going to get stuff tho pack and then coming home to actually do the packing. We finished last night around 5 pm and then Mom cooked dinner. The intention that night was to relax and watch a movie but that didn't happen. We actually crawled into bed around 7:30 pm and Mom was asleep by 9:30 pm. I was so tired. I never even turned my computer on at all yesterday. Today was about the same. Mark ran back out to get more boxes and packing tape while I stayed at home and more things around. I actually had the chance to chat with Auntie Kristina. We haven't spoken in over 4 months or more. After that, Mom made breakfast, did the dishes and we went straight to packing more things up. We just finished for the day because for like the 10th time we have run out of boxes and need more. The good thing is that we need maybe 5 more and we are done! A lot of it is what we are still using daily so none can really get packed up until the last minute. This weekend has been again quite productive and we basically packed our whole apartment in 4 days. The last 2 weekends straight. We have probably packed for 20 hours. Mom doesn't think it was that bad but my body is hurting like crazy! Tonight will be having dinner, relaxing and watching football. Patriots won their game this afternoon and the Cowboys are playing right now and they are losing...go figure. Not sure who plays tonight but I know that Mom won't watch it too long because I will be sleeping at an early time again....lol. Our skype call got postponed until next week so that we can just relax later. That was very sweet and understanding of them. I will however call Grandpa to say hello and Meme also in a bit. Mark is busy the next couple days with work again. Gone both days and Tuesday early morning is a cutover for him. Mom was a little upset to hear that because no one else ever has to do something like that before vacation but Mark does. It is just not fair. Anyways... while he is working, Mom will be studying and hopefully finishing up Exam 3 so that I can submit it and be set to start the next chapters and exam before Friday roles around. Mom is really just tired of looking at so many boxes and having our belongings in them. I want to be moved and resettles again and just enjoy the nice Fall weather before it turns to winter time. Anyways... that is what our week looks like for the most part. The movers will be here bright and early Friday morning to start the moving process. Mom will let you know that I will not have the chance to write to you Friday at all because of the moving and we are not sure when the internet, etc... will be connected for us on that day. I will however take a break on Saturday to write you a little something and then by Sunday everything should be back to normal and Mom will be writing to you daily. I just wanted you to know all this plus all Mom's followers. I didn't want anyone to think that I just stopped writing! Hopefully tomorrow I will have so updates for you because as of right now I have zero. The phones have been so super quiet. Right now though I have to get going as it is after 5 pm and the pups need to be fed and then I have to make dinner for Mark and I. I will be back tomorrow though. Mom sure hopes that you will have a relaxing evening tonight. May you have fun though and also get to do many things. Please come be with Mom or visit me in my dreams. I really need a good nights sleep. The last 2 nights haven't been that great. Thank you so much my sweet precious son. Know that you are missed beyond words and that I love you with all my heart and soul. To the moon and back and all the way around the world. You will forever be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Always in my heart, mind, body and soul. Until tomorrow comes... good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is today's prayer:
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Sunday evening? Mom is wanting to say sorry for not writing to you yesterday but the day Mark and Mom had was jammed packed with going to get stuff tho pack and then coming home to actually do the packing. We finished last night around 5 pm and then Mom cooked dinner. The intention that night was to relax and watch a movie but that didn't happen. We actually crawled into bed around 7:30 pm and Mom was asleep by 9:30 pm. I was so tired. I never even turned my computer on at all yesterday. Today was about the same.

Here is today's prayer:
Then another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; and he was given a great quantity of incense to offer with the prayers of all God's people upon the golden altar in front of the throne. And from the angel's hand the smoke of the incense went up before God with the prayers of his people. Revelation 8:3–4, NEB
Lord God, we come before you and ask you to turn our hearts and minds to you alone, to you who have power over the whole world and who can do everything in our hearts according to your will. Let there be light in our time. Hear and answer the many prayers that have already come to you, rising for centuries before your throne, prayers for your kingdom and for your will on earth. This earth has become the prey of evil. We are poor and needy, and you alone can help us. Help us, O Lord, our God and Father. After this misery let your day come, your great day over all the world and over all peoples. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Friday morning? It is 11:50 am and the sun is shining and the skies are blue. It is what we would call a very Fall day indeed. Mom is doing okay. I wanted to write to you now because once I start my studying it will be an all day thing and I know I will lose track of time and then be late for making dinner, etc... Mom is also going to shut her computer down after I write because with the things I have to do for school, I don't need my computer right off. I just need a pen and notebook so I am going to sit on the couch and do my work. Mom is in a bit of pain today as well. My neck and shoulder again is bothering me. I think I slept wrong again because it didn't hurt until this morning. The hot water in the shower really didn't even work this time. I need to relax as much as possible as well today because Saturday and Sunday will be very busy days with packing the rest of our stuff for the move next week. At this time next week we will have most of our belongings in the new place and nothing left here. I told the moving company that the men better eat their Wheaties (it's a cereal that Mom ate growing up!) that morning because they will be earning their money that day with going up and down the stairs countless times. Some of our things are really heavy too. Mom will be making sure that the guys that are moving our stuff will have coffee, water, doughnuts etc.... that will be the least we can do for them.
Not much happened last night. Mark got home and we have dinner, I did the dishes, he chatted with his brother for a bit and then we watched a bit of TV. Mom called Grandpa and Debbie and I ended up chatting with Debbie because Grandpa was at a meeting and wouldn't be home until later. She was telling me that all went well with her doctor's visit and she is cleared to return to work in 2 weeks. November 1st will be her first day back. She has lifting restrictions but that is it. Overall great news! Everything else is good their way. Grandpa is getting into a few "groups" now and Mom thinks that is great. When he completely retires at the end of next month he will have things to keep himself busy. I am happy for him. Debbie can retire next year so then they will be able to do all kinds of things at that point. I wish Meme would retire too but I don't see that happening any time soon. Mom thinks that she wants to because he job is very stressful on her but she doesn't because she would go crazy staying at home. It is a no win situation with that. Maybe something will come up in the near future.
Mark is at a client site all day today. He left early this morning and will be there until 5 pm. He won't get home much before 7 or 8 pm tonight so it will be dinner for one and lots of watching my TV shows that I have recorded over the past week. Tomorrow we will start packing early and then do it all over again Sunday too. sounds like fun, huh? Mom wishes that you were here! I wish you were still with us all in the physical form. I miss you so much. No words will begin to express just how much so I don't even try anymore to anyone. Some don't understand it and the only ones that do are the ones that have been going trough it like Mom. 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 remain living in my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will be lighting the candle after I am done writing so know that it is burning bright just for you my sweet precious son. Mom will whisper to you tonight before I go to bed and get ready to fall asleep. I sure hope that your evening will be all that you would like it to be. Have fun and I am sure you are super busy but if you can come visit Mom in my dreams so I know you are doing okay. Thank you. I will be back tomorrow to write to you again but not sure whether it will be in the afternoon or evening. It might not be a long letter either but it all depends when we stop packing and just how tired Mom is at that point.
Well Ty, it is that time where I really need to get going so that I can start my studying for the day as it is already after 12 noon...lol. Until tomorrow comes... good night and sweet dreams later. I love you.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:
Then the peace of God, which is beyond our utmost understanding, will keep guard over your hearts and your thoughts, in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7, NEB
O Lord God, grant us your Spirit, that we may comprehend your peace. As we pray, help us to recognize what must come from you alone, for you are mighty and holy and your will is peace on earth. Your will is peace beyond all understanding, your peace in heaven and on earth and under the earth, your peace that opposes all sin and death and takes away every evil that can be named. We await you, O Lord our God, and you will hear us. No matter how long the battle lasts, we hold out in patience, for we are your children. We shall never lose the faith that your name shall be honored and that all things shall come into harmony with your will of peace on earth, your peace. Amen.
