Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this sunny Thursday afternoon? Mom is not doing so hot today but I wanted to take the time to write to you anyways. I don't like skipping a day if I don't have too. The weather is blue skies and lots of sunshine but the temps are so dang cold. I think it is 5 degrees today. Remember those days, Tyler? These are the days that we dreaded for you because it was so hard to keep you warm. Mom is glad that you no longer have to worry about them things or anything else for that matter. You are freed from all the illness, sickness and the limitations that you had here. I am sure there is still not a single day that you don't sit down or slow down as you lived that life here for 22 years. I don't blame you one bit. I miss you though. More than words can say. You were my everything, you were my whole world and still after almost 6 years I still have a hard time with your passing. I still find it rough to want to do anything in my life. I am still very much lost without you and I don't know if that will ever change or not. Mom tries daily but lately I am not succeeding at all. As you can see I am dealing with a lot of things right now. I know these things are not making you happy and I know you are concerned and worried about me. Right now I am pretty much at a loss other than my school work. I don't know about anything else right now, especially after last night. The night started out okay and very quiet when Mark got home but after dinner that changed quite rapidly. Mark and Mom started to have quite the heated argument. I just don't understand a lot of things about him anymore as he doesn't with me. I finally realized that I can't even try to give him anything to show as examples of how things are these days because to do that someone has to care about it and he doesn't. It was pretty clear last night. Many things that he said were quite hurtful to me. Mom is just tired of being degraded, belittled. I just want to be happy in my life again and right now I am not. Last night was the first night that I didn't just sit quiet, I stood my ground and said what I wanted to. I stood up for myself for a change. Mom usually does not say anything to anyone about my personal life because I don't want to burden anyone with it because they have their own things going on in their lives and they don't need to hear about mine. I guess when I write you these letters still it is things that we would talk about. I guess you could say it is my personal journal but for the whole world to read and to Mom that is okay. My life as been pretty much an open book as it is. I guess it shows that I don't have a "perfect" life even though I never claimed that I did. I guess I wish that others would see that I am human and I have feelings and emotions and that a lot of things I take personal and I get hurt by them and that is not okay! I have so much to give to others, I care so much and maybe more than I should to some and I love so deep, I guess I just wish someone felt that way about me for a change. I wish someone loved and cared about me. As you saw and heard last night, Mom has a lot to think about and a lot choices that I will be needing to make. Please be with me and keep me strong, Tyler. I need your strength to get me through this whole thing. Thank you so much my sweet precious son. I love you so much and I love you with all my heart and soul. To the moon and back and all the way around the world.
Mom is pretty tired today. After the argument last night I was up until after midnight because I could not sleep. I finally started to fall asleep and Ozzy was up a couple times getting sick. Didn't surprise me through because last night I he was chewing his toy and I tried to get it away from him but I did not succeed and he swallowed the part he chewed off. He is fine today though. Just as peppy as ever. Mom also woke up sneezing like crazy and watery eyes...I was hoping that it was just a morning thing but I was not that lucky. As the hours passed today it is still the same way and I know I have a low grade fever so guess I am the lucky winner of a cold...lol. I sure do hope that it doesn't last or linger too long. I still got up, did laundry, ate breakfast and then got to studying. I didn't want to lay on the couch all day because I did want to get accused of being lazy and not productive. I managed to read the first 3 chapters and I took the first exam. There were 40 questions. I knew I did okay except on one part as things were not clear to me but I just decided to submit it and I was surprised yet again because my grade was a 95! I only got 2 wrong. I really did think I was going to get like a 65. Mom looked and I am 10 exams and 2 final exams away from the finish line. I am going to try and do an exam a day so that means if I am really good I can be done by February 14th...We shall see.
Tonight looks like a very quiet night with Mom eating some chicken soup and then snuggling on the couch watching TV. There has been no conversation what so ever between Mark and I. I don't see anything changing anytime soon that is for sure. Mom will be going to bed early so that I can try and kick this dang cold. I sure hope that you have a wonderful evening doing all kinds of things that you need to do and may want to do. If you can, come visit me in my dreams tonight when I am sleeping. Always remember that you are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will light the candle in a little while and I will whisper to you as I always do. Smile for me and I will smile for you too. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. For now, I have a couple things to finish up before I can go relax for the night. I love you, Tyler. Unconditionally.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:
For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet, till her righteousness shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch. Isaiah 62:1, NIV
Lord our God, we worship you, for you come to meet us everywhere and you reveal your glory on our earth. May we become worthy of you, people who can represent you with our whole being. Give us the strength to endure, even through struggles and temptations. Be merciful to us at all times through Jesus Christ our Savior. May we remain body and soul in his hands, that at last we may come to you, our Father in heaven, as your true children, reborn through the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday late afternoon? It is already 4:15 pm and the sun is still shining high in the sky. You know what that means... the days are getting longer and soon it will be where we turn the clocks ahead and we will be seeing daylight until 7-8 pm. I can't wait for those days. They sure are coming. I think we turn the clocks ahead at the end of March this year. That is just in a couple of months. The weather today was not half as bad as what they said it was going to be. The wind was suppose to be between 25-30+ mph all day and night and it really has not been so bad. I think maybe it is at 15-20 mph. Now that may change once the sun goes down but that is okay. It was 32 degrees here. we did not get any snow, sleet or freezing rain either. I am again so happy about that. I don't believe there is anything in the forecast for us to get anything either for the next couple of weeks.
This morning was an early one as usual. I was awake at 7:15 am. Mark fed the pups for me because he was up earlier so that he could go to the office. I lounged in bed for a bit with the pups to keep them quiet and then I got up and got ready. Right after that I got something to eat and I came in to finish up on my final exam. I submitted it and then went over it. I got an 86 on it. There were a couple questions that I got wrong so that was 6 points right there and then I got a few points taken off a couple more. That course is down and over with. My overall grade is a 90~ A. That now makes 21 A's and 2 B's for the entire thing. I start my new course tomorrow. It looks like it is going to be difficult because it is an Advanced coding course and there are a lot of coding... ICD 10-CM, E/M codes, CPT codes, etc... it is crazy. I will do what I always do and just focus and do the best that I can. There are 8 exams to this one as well. Another long one! Mom will keep you posted on how I am doing.
Meme called this afternoon on her break. She was saying it was super cold there. She went to work. She didn't talk too long because it was at the end of her lunch. I am sure she will either call me later tonight or in the next couple of days. Grandpa did not call last night so I am really sure he will call this evening. I bet he was super busy shoveling and snow blowing last night and he was indeed tired. He not only does his drive way but he also does a couple of his neighbors as well. I just hope he takes it easy. You know Mom... the worry wart...lol!
Mark just got home a few minutes ago from being at the office all day. I wish I could say that all is well here but frankly it is not. I know you see and hear it all so you are aware of the issues. It all just seems like a viscous circle with no ending. Nothing ever gets fixed or worked on. It gets better for a couple of weeks and then it goes right back to the same ole same ole. I think that Mark and everyone else needs to know that Mom is no longer going to just sit back and take it without saying anything at all. I am standing up for myself and speaking my mind now. I tell it like it is. I am tired of being the one that gets shoved into a corner (not literally). I am human, I have feelings and emotions. I am tired of always being alone and lonely. I will not tolerate it anymore. I am not sure if people will be ready for this side of me but they better be because this is the new me! This is how it is going to be from now on. I will no longer hide in the shadows. This is the new me. The stronger than ever me! Wish Mom luck pumpkin! I am going to need it.
It is 4:45 pm now and the sun is going down. On one side it is a pastel color sky with light blue and a bit of pink and on the other side is a dark orange and yellow. Mom is hoping that there will be another beautiful sunset tonight. I am watching it closely. Dinner is cooking already and it should be done in about 30 minutes. Mom needs to feed the pups and get a bit of house cleaning done...folding laundry and mopping/vacuuming the floors before dinner is finished. The rest of the night will be the usual....relaxing and a bit of TV before bed. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. I sure do miss you my sweet precious son and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You will and always have been my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you are inside my heart, mind, body and soul. I will light your candle in a bit and whisper to you later. Smile big for Mom and I will smile for you my son. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams. Have fun tonight as I sleep and visit me in my dreams if you can.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:
Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear. Isaiah 45:22-23, NIV
Lord God, we kneel before you and worship you, for you do mighty deeds in heaven and on earth and allow us to become your children and your servants. You have done great things for many people, enabling them to serve you, and you will do still more. For you have promised that all our paths will be made straight. You have promised that all we do may be a service to you through Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, whom we follow. He will be revealed to the whole world, so that the nations will be called to serve you and your will may be done on earth as in heaven. Praised be your name, Lord our God! We open our hearts to you. In death and in life we are yours. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Tuesday evening? It is 5 pm already and Mom is just getting done with studying and prepping dinner. I have done the majority of it but I still have a couple things left to do. I wanted to write to you before I did that so I could turn my computer off for the evening.
Today has been a productive day for Mom. I was up early and I was able to lounge in bed for a bit before getting up. I spoke to Meme for quite a while this morning as well. She stayed home from work today because she was not feeling good. Her hip popped out of socket so the doctors told her to ice it and take some pain medicine and hopefully it would be better in a couple of days. She was also worried about the snow that they would be getting as well. It started in NH around 1 pm and it is coming down pretty steady there now. They are suppose to get 8-12" of heavy wet snow and it will not be done until around 5 pm tomorrow evening. Slow moving storm but it will leave an impact. This is the 3rd winter storm since the beginning of January. There has been one every single week. This one is called Jayden. We are going to get no snow, maybe some sleet and rain later this evening and starting tomorrow we will have really high winds all day and night...over 35+ mph. Please watch over us all during this weather. With the temps being the way that they are and the wind chill it will make it feel like -16 degrees here tomorrow. Mark is on the road all day and Mom will be home with the pups. Thank you for making sure we are all safe. It means so much. 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 you are inside my heart, mind, body and soul.
Meme was telling me that Bob is not doing the greatest right now. He is going to go see his doctor to tell her that the medicines are not working anymore. I know there is nothing that can be done or other medicines that he can take so Mom is a little worried about all this. She was saying that he fell again this morning. He is really losing his balance a lot lately. It has been 7 years since all this heart problems started with him. That is a long time to live the way that he has to. I know you watch over them both and again I thank you for that. Mom again wishes that I could win the megabucks so that they could sell their houses and Mom could get a huge house so that everyone didn't have to work unless they wanted to and everyone would be under one roof so I could take care of them all. They need to all retire and just live the rest of their life stress free and happy doing whatever they want to do. That is Mom's wish. Think it could come true? I sure hope so!
Mom took the day and studying and worked on her final exam. I was doing pretty good and then I got stuck on a couple questions. I will finish it up tomorrow and look things over and then submit it and start on my last course! Mom is super excited about this! I will either finish this course up with an A or B. Either way I am so happy with it! Hard work certainly pays off. Later tonight I will be relaxing while watching a couple shows that I have taped. Then it will be to bed early as Mark has to be on the road early and I will have all day long to study. I am not sure if Grandpa will call or not as I believe that he will be very busy the next couple days with all the snow they are getting. I will check in on him tomorrow at the latest if I don't hear anything. Still nothing from Aunt beck or Bean. I will try to contact them as well in the next couple of days.
Mom needs to get going as it is after 5:30 pm now. The pups have been fed but Mom is still working on our dinner. I have been going back and forth from writing this letter to the kitchen. Mom is hoping that your evening will be everything that you need and want it to be. Have fun while I sleep tonight. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thank you for last night's painting in the sky. It was so gorgeous. I think Mom stayed by the window and watched it for 20-30 minutes. I took so many pictures of it. I will post a couple on here tonight. It made me smile so again thank you pumpkin. I will light the candle and whisper to you later this evening. Smile and Mom will smile back. I sure do miss you bunches my sweet precious son. I will be back tomorrow so until then good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words which I command you this day shall be upon your heart. Deuteronomy 6:4–6, RSV
Lord our God, we thank you that every day – through good days and through days that to us seem bad – we know that our lives are guided by your will, what you do and what you want. For this we thank you. We want to love you above everything in the world. Our hearts long for you, for you are our Father. We want to love and honor you with our whole lives. Lord our God, bring your order into the world. Help us at all times to do your will and to fulfill your commandments. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday later afternoon? Mom right now is so relieved and happy! I will explain that to you in a minute. The weather today was sunny and cold but the skies were blue all day long. The sun is about to set though as it is getting pretty dark. Mom was up early this morning and I was able to lounge in bed for a bit and then I got ready and grabbed something quick to eat and then I came right in to study. I worked on my exam all afternoon. It is the same one that I have been working on for the past week. I really was dreading it. Mom knew that she was going to fail the exam and I was finally able to accept that and learn from the mistakes so that I could move on to the final exam tomorrow. My hands were shaking as I hit the submit button. I walked away from the computer because I did not want to see what I got for a grade...lol. To my wonderful surprise I got a 90 on it. An A-. I was in total shock and my hands were shaking even more and my emotions were built up that I started to cry happy tears. I couldn't believe it. I worked hard on this test and I went over and over it again and again. I guess it paid off. I actually only changed 1 answer from my original. Right now my grade is sitting at a 91 which is an A. My final exam will start tomorrow. I should be starting my next course Wednesday. That one is an advanced coding class. Another tough one but I can do it! I am almost finished up and then I will have completed all the courses for my Associates Degree in Medical Specialties. I am very proud of myself and I know you and many others are just as proud. I know you have been right here with Mom and I thank you so much my sweet precious son.
Last night was exactly what I thought it would be. It was relaxing and we watched TV all night before going to bed early. we never had the skype call because Tubal and Karen had company. We have rescheduled again for this coming Sunday night but not sure that will happen either because of the SuperBowl. Most likely it will be in a couple weeks. I did speak to Grandpa and Debbie. Things there are okay. Grandpa was not very talkative at all but he was doing good. I think he was tired from working all day. Debbie went and saw her sister at DHMC. Pam is doing better but still has a long road ahead of her. She did break 7 ribs and one of them got broken in the front and back so it is literally floating. The doctors are very concerned about her because of all the other medical issues that she has. she will be there for awhile. Debbie fell in the parking lot of the hospital when she was getting out of the car. It was snow and ice and she lost her balance. She is okay but scraped her knee up pretty good. I guess everyone else is doing okay. I will touch base with them during the week. I will fill you in when I know of things.
Right now it is going on 4:45 pm. I have half of dinner prepped and I will get that in the oven to cook and finish the rest of it while it is cooking. Mom wanted chef salads again and I am putting BBQ chicken in mine for the protein. I have about 7 serving of veggies in my salad so it is pretty healthy. I look forward to them now. We have it about twice a week. Mom will feed the pups in a few minutes and then I will relax for the night. Tomorrow I will be up early so I can start my final exam while Mark is working all day long. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. I will light the candle in a few minutes and I will whisper to you in a bit. Smile for Mom and I will smile back to you. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my true superhero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you will be inside my heart, mind, body and soul. I miss you more than words, Tyler. Come visit me tonight in my dreams if you can. Thank you. Please continue to watch over Mom and the rest of our family and friends. Thank you so much. Fly high and free and give everyone that is with you hugs and kisses from me. I miss them all as well. Mom needs to go for now so until tomorrow comes.... good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for tonight:
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. Psalm 32:8, NIV
Lord our God, we come into your presence and ask you to help us. Help us in every part of our lives, even when we do not understand. Be with us with your Spirit. Guide and lead us with your hand. Let your will be done in all things, even if we must bear suffering. Your will is for good alone and you will set everything right. Help us. Bless us through your Word, through everything we are allowed to hear from you, our God and our Father. Amen.
Sunday, January 27, 2019
Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Mom's day started out pretty good considering that Mark was up early and he had to work for about 3 hours. I had every intention of sleeping in while he was working but that did not happen. I was up at 7 am. I did stay in bed to keep the dogs quiet for a couple hours and then decided to get up. I did a couple things around the apartment and then got ready and took the pups for a nice walk. We went and got the packages from the office and the mail and walked around for a bit. The weather is super nice. The skies are blue and it is sunny. The wind at times is pretty strong but no complaints from me! Meme called me this morning and was saying that it was gray and cloudy and it had started snowing there. I was surprised because of how beautiful it is here today. I looked ahead for the weather because the weather channel is tracking Winter Storm Jayden now. Looks like we will luck out and not get it. Maybe some rain but that is it. NH will get it though on Tuesday into Wednesday. They are looking at 4-8" of snow. Poor Meme, Bob, Grandpa and Debbie.
Mom is sorry that I did not write to you yesterday but I have to be honest and say that it was a good day for once. Mom did not turn her computer on at all, no iPad either. Every once in a while I would look at my cell phone but not often. I think I just needed a day where where was no electronics. I did think of you all day and I mentioned you a few times. I sure hope that you heard me talk about you. Mark and Mom were up fairly early. We fed the pups and we got ready to start our day. We were out the door around 11:30 am. We went and ran some errands, did some fun shopping and then went and grabbed a few things at the grocery store. Mom had to go into the pet store to get food and I got to see a sweet 12 year old Basset Hound named Daisy Mae. She reminded Mom of our sweet Daisy Mae. She was just so gentle. She allowed Mom to pet her and she got pretty comfortable because she laid her little head in my hands and then on my lap. I miss all our basset hounds that we had. I also got to pet and met a little Yorkie names Scottie. The owner said he was shy and scared so Mom left him alone. When I was walking by him to leave he came right up to me and sniffed and he let me pet him. The owner was shocked. He was so cute. Later that day, Mark and I had to grab the mail, get packages from the office and then we came home. I put everything away and prepped dinner, fed the pups and then ate. I did the dinner dishes and just got comfortable on the couch and our groceries were here. I put them all away and then relaxed on the couch. It was 8 pm by that time! Mom watched an old movie on TV. It was called Funny Face. It was really good. It took place in Paris. That got over a little after 10 pm and Mom was ready to go to bed. Mark stayed up for a bit though. No one called at all. The phones were quiet. It was nice.
Tonight we have a skype call with Tubal and Karen providing they are feeling better. Mom will also give Grandpa and Debbie a call as well. I will update you on things tomorrow when I write to you. The rest of the day will be really just relaxing and watching the Pro Bowl football game. I don't usual watch it and I have no idea who is playing but I figured that I would watch it today. It starts in a couple hours so I have time to do a few things before it comes on. Next Sunday is the big game...the SuperBowl. It is also Meme and Princess' Birthdays. We shall see how that turns out. You know who I am rooting for!
Mom hopes that your day and night is everything you want it to be. I sure hope you have fun tonight while Mom is getting some rest. I hope that you have the chance to come visit me in my dreams as well. I will light the candle in a little bit and I will be sure to whisper to you later this evening. Smile for me and I will smile for you. I sure do miss you bunches and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You will always be my superhero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you will live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. I will be back tomorrow so until then....good night and sweet dreams later this evening my sweet precious son.

Here is the prayer of the day:
My prayer for you is that you may have still more love – a love that is full of knowledge and wise insight. I want you to be able always to recognize the highest and the best, and to live sincere and blameless lives until the day of Christ. I want to see your lives full of true goodness, produced by the power that Jesus Christ gives you to the praise and glory of God. Philippians 1:9–11, (Phillips)
Lord our God, we thank you for filling our hearts with such great trust. We thank you for all we are given in our lives, above all that we can come to know Jesus Christ. We thank you that over and over we can draw strength and life from his life. Praise to your name, for our life has a goal and we may find strength and certainty during our time on earth. You will reveal what we hope for, and even now you allow us to keep something of this goal before our eyes. We praise you that your name may become great in our midst and that again and again new life can well up from us, who are poor and weak. May your name be praised for setting this goal before us to strengthen us. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? It is the 25th day of 2019. This month really flew right by. The weather today is sunny, blue skies and 40 degrees. I will take it for winter! Just a little bit of snow is left on the ground for what were high snow banks on Tuesday are now just small and almost right to the ground. A few more days and that will all be melted as well. Mom is really liking this winter so far. If they were all like this I could handle it and not want to move as I do not mind the cold. This weekend is suppose to be like today but cooler I think...in the 30's. It is already 3:22 pm and I never did any studying today. Mom was up early this morning feeding the pups, making Mark fresh brewed coffee and then I lounged in bed for a bit. I later got up, folded laundry and put it away, gathered the garbage, broke down all the boxes, mopped the floor before my friend called me. I ended up chatting with her for some time today. We hung up the phone around 1:15 pm. After that I made something to eat, did those dishes, vacuumed the floors and then got ready. I was finished with all that right at 3 pm and I came right in and started gathering my pictures for today and then started writing to you. The day has just flown by. Mom will be prepping for dinner soon and feeding the pups. I think tonight will be a nice quiet evening watching a movie and then going to bed. Saturday we have a few places to go to and then we will be home the rest of the weekend. Mark just found out about an hour ago that he has to work again on Sunday for the same customer that he did the cutover for last weekend. This will be the second week straight that he works Monday-Friday and the weekend. In 14 days, Mark has worked 13 of them. Looks like Saturday will be his only day off. I guess while he is working Sunday, Mom will studying to make up for not doing it today. I just feel bad because no one else seems to do this from his team. Please don't think Mom is ungrateful because I am grateful that he has a job and a good one at that but I just get worried about all the hours that he pulls. It is very little time to sleep. You know Mom, I worry all the time! I just can't help it. Anyways... it will all work out the way it is suppose to go. Mom is trying to learn not to linger on things that I have no control over. It is not good for me and it is not healthy for anyone. Anyways.....
Last night was a night of watching a couple shows on TV that we recorded and then Mom was so tired by 10 pm I headed to bed and fell fast asleep. Mark stayed up watching TV for a bit and then fell asleep. I woke up a few times during the night but went right back to sleep quickly. No one called and Mom did not call anyone either. I am sure to hear from Grandpa this evening and it not then I will chat with him and Debbie, and Meme and Bob over the weekend. We have a skype call with Tubal and Karen as well on Sunday. I sure hope they are feeling better as they both have been sick for a couple weeks. Debbie was saying yesterday that her sister, Pam took a bad fall in the tub yesterday and was sent to the DHMC. She has 6-7 broken ribs and is being kept there for a while because she is having such a hard time breathing that the doctors feel it will slow the healing process down. Pam is such a sweetheart. I sure hope she recovers quickly and can get home. Having broken ribs is no fun at all. There is nothing that can be done for them other than to wrap them tightly and let them heal slowly on their own. I haven't heard anything from Aunt Beck or Bean lately so I am assuming that they are all doing good. Mom will try to get in touch with them this weekend or early next week.
I am liking the outcome of the digital frame that Mom put together the other day and night. I selected 170 pictures so far and I can add to it any time that I would like. Mom chose pictures of you, Mark, Mom, Grandpa, Debbie, Meme, Bob, Great Grammy, Aunt Beck, John, Bean, her BF, Aunt Shirley, Richard, Aunt Jacqui, Uncle Dick, Andrea, Tony and his wife and all 4 girls, Mark's side of the family...his Dad and Step-Mom, his 2 brothers and their family, his niece's wedding, Snickers, Max, Princess, Ozzy and Skittles. I hope that you can see it and it makes you smile. Remembering the memories makes me smile.
Mom is hoping that your evening is all that you want it to be. Come visit Mom in my dreams tonight if you can. I am sure you have been pretty busy lately because it has been awhile since I have seen you. Hope you are learning and going too places that you have never been to before and that you are happy. Mom will light the candle for you in a bit and I will whisper to you later tonight. Smile for me when you hear my voice and I will smile to you as well my sweet precious son. I miss you beyond words and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my superhero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. I will be back tomorrow evening with another letter to you. Time for me to start prepping dinner for this evening and getting the pups fed. The sun will be setting soon. Hope it is a nice sunset. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is today's prayer:
You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16, NIV

Move our hearts from their very depths to thank you for all you have done for us, to praise you, and to glorify you. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Today is day 24 of the new year and boy the weather is exactly what they said it would be. It has been raining since 2 am. It is raining so hard that it is sideways. The wind is horrible. We are in a high wind advisory until 7 pm tonight. Earlier this morning they were around 25 mph and now at 3:13 pm they are over 35 mph. I was trying to video it and standing next to the window I could feel them shaking and the blinds were moving and I was not touching them. The temperature however is awesome. It is 57 degrees and guess what....almost all the snow is gone! The ice is all gone too and we can see grass again! There are tiny little snowbanks left but nothing like they were 2 days ago. Mom likes that a lot...lol! No snow is in the forecast until the beginning of February and even then it will be only 1-2" of snow. Mom knows that we will get more...a lot more before winter is done here but for now I am going to enjoy not having any!
Last night was pretty quiet around here. Mom was late making dinner and I didn't know what to make so we had chef salads and they were good! Mark played his game with his brother until 9:15 pm and then he came out and watched TV with me for a bit before we went to bed. Mom was able to watch a couple shows that I have recorded and then I chatted with Grandpa for a bit. He was telling me that he had been working hard to remove ice and snow on his roof. Mom hates that he still has to do that. He needs to be where he never has to worry about that stuff again...shoveling, snow blowing, mowing the lawn, etc... same with Meme and Bob. They all need to just be able to do what they want when they want to and have no stress in their lives. All 4 of them have busted their butts for so long. Mom wishes that she could win the megabucks so that I could use what I need and then give the rest to all our family and charities of our choice. If Mom had enough to buy a house, pay off our vehicles and debt, and have some in savings I wouldn't need anything else. I would just help others. Maybe someday, right? Tonight will be an easy dinner night for us. Mark wants pizza and french fries. That is fine with me. Easy clean up too. I think he is playing his game again tonight for a bit while I watch a couple other shows and then we will watch some TV together before going to bed. Mom really needs a good night sleep. Maybe tonight will be the night. I have been studying for most of the day and Mom is super frustrated with it right now. I had to just stop and walk away because I will not get anything accomplished if I don't. I will try again tomorrow. I need you, pumpkin. Please help Mom out? Thank you. Mom also was able to do a little bit of housework earlier and laundry. I have been up since 7:30 am and I have been using my time wisely today. Mark has been working all day so that helps too. The pups have been pretty quiet for most of the day. They usually sleep a lot when it rains. Oh yeah, Mom spoke to Meme on her lunch break too. She was saying that she was doing good and was glad that the snow was melting too after a couple of scares driving home the last 2 nights. She didn't have long to chat so she said she would call me later this evening when she got home. Mom will fill you in on tomorrows letter.
Mom hopes that tonight your evening will be everything you want and need it to be. May you have the time to help all those that you need to help and also go and learn or see places that you want to. Come visit Mom if you can too. I miss you so much and I wait nightly to see you in my dreams. I love you my sweet precious son. To the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you will be inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will light the new candle for you this evening and I will whisper to you later this evening. Smile when you hear Mom and I will smile to you as well. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. For now I need to go fold laundry and do the rest of the housework before I feed the pups and prep our dinner. Good night and sweet dreams my bright shining star. Give hugs to all our pups that are with you and also to our family and friends as well. Mom misses everyone. Until tomorrow....
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Today is day 24 of the new year and boy the weather is exactly what they said it would be. It has been raining since 2 am. It is raining so hard that it is sideways. The wind is horrible. We are in a high wind advisory until 7 pm tonight. Earlier this morning they were around 25 mph and now at 3:13 pm they are over 35 mph. I was trying to video it and standing next to the window I could feel them shaking and the blinds were moving and I was not touching them. The temperature however is awesome. It is 57 degrees and guess what....almost all the snow is gone! The ice is all gone too and we can see grass again! There are tiny little snowbanks left but nothing like they were 2 days ago. Mom likes that a lot...lol! No snow is in the forecast until the beginning of February and even then it will be only 1-2" of snow. Mom knows that we will get more...a lot more before winter is done here but for now I am going to enjoy not having any!
Last night was pretty quiet around here. Mom was late making dinner and I didn't know what to make so we had chef salads and they were good! Mark played his game with his brother until 9:15 pm and then he came out and watched TV with me for a bit before we went to bed. Mom was able to watch a couple shows that I have recorded and then I chatted with Grandpa for a bit. He was telling me that he had been working hard to remove ice and snow on his roof. Mom hates that he still has to do that. He needs to be where he never has to worry about that stuff again...shoveling, snow blowing, mowing the lawn, etc... same with Meme and Bob. They all need to just be able to do what they want when they want to and have no stress in their lives. All 4 of them have busted their butts for so long. Mom wishes that she could win the megabucks so that I could use what I need and then give the rest to all our family and charities of our choice. If Mom had enough to buy a house, pay off our vehicles and debt, and have some in savings I wouldn't need anything else. I would just help others. Maybe someday, right? Tonight will be an easy dinner night for us. Mark wants pizza and french fries. That is fine with me. Easy clean up too.

I have not spoken in secret or kept my purpose hidden. I did not require the people of Israel to look for me in a desolate waste. I am the Lord, and I speak the truth; I make known what is right. Isaiah 45:19, TEV
Lord our God, we thank you for giving us your love, for letting us draw nearer to what is right and good. May your Spirit penetrate everywhere, overcoming what is false and helping people everywhere to understand the true nature of your justice. Guard us on all our ways. Protect us when our bodies and our lives are worn down by sickness and distress of every kind. Grant us your help according to your truth and righteousness. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? It is day 23 of the new year. It is hard to believe that in 8 days it will already be February 1st. This month is flying by and that is okay with me. That means that we are getting closer to Spring time and warmer weather. Today was not so bad though. It is 38 degrees outside and cloudy skies. Tomorrow it is going to be 56 degrees and rain all day long. I guess heavy at times as well. Mom is hoping that with the rain and the temp it will melt some of the snow away from here. My fingers are crossed at this...lol!
Today, Mom was up early and I fed the pups and got fresh coffee going for Mark. I went back to lounge in bed for a bit but not long at all today. I got up and made a good breakfast for Mark and I, did the dishes and then decided that because we were not going out today as planned (both of us are sick) Mom started going through pictures so that I could get our digital photo frame finally up and running. I thought it would take me just a couple of hours but I have been at it since 1 pm and it is no going on 5:45 pm and I just finished it up. Mom needed to collect all the pictures, plug it in and watch the whole thing to see if I needed to change things and I did...many times. Lots of pictures needed cropping so that took some time but the end results and all that work paid off. It looks awesome and Mark likes it as well. He even told me that I did a great job! I will take that as I have never done anything like this before. I am proud of myself! Now I am so far behind in the evening routine. The pups are fed already and now I have to get dinner going for Mark and I. I am sorry that this is going to be a short letter tonight. I will make it up to you tomorrow. Mom just doesn't want to be eating at 8 pm. Both Mark and Mom are still not feeling the greatest either. I will make sure to light the candle tonight and whisper to you like I always do. Have fun this evening while Mom is getting some sleep. Come visit if you can 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. You are my superhero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you are in my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will fill you in on any updates that I may have as well but today I have none. I haven't spoken to anyone at all in 2 days or nights. I will touch base with them by the weekend. Mom is going to go for now but I will be back tomorrow so until then....good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is today's prayer:
The Lord has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all...Praise the Lord, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the Lord, my soul. Psalm 103:19, 22, NIV

Dear Father in heaven,we thank you for giving our hearts hope for your kingdom, the kingdom of God. We thank you that again and again we may draw strength from this hope, find new youthfulness and courage, and discover how powerfully, though hidden, your kingdom is already approaching. Protect this vision and help us when we fail. All will come right. Whatever happens, we are in your hands, and no one shall snatch this joy from our hearts. Amen.
