These are my letters to Tyler. They are the conversations that we would have on a daily basis. We can't do that any more. In some small way, this is my tribute to my son and probably my way of healing. Every night we would talk about everything. I can still do that, and I know he's listening.
Tuesday, April 30, 2019
Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is doing okay today! It is 3:50 pm and we just got back from the movies. We left at 11 am. The movie was excellent and long....3 hours. You would have loved it, Tyler. Mom thought of you the entire time. The movie that we saw was the Avenger's...End Game. Mark and Mom took his friend, Rick as well. He really needed a break as he has been going back and forth to the hospital for the last 3 weeks. His ex-wife has been in the hospital and she is still very sick. He still takes care of her even though they are not together and haven't been for 3 years now. Not many would understand the situation but I get it. She needs around the clock care and no one else is there to do it so he does. He is such a nice guy. You would have liked him a lot and he would have liked you too. We talk about you all the time. It's nice and I sure do hope that you smile whenever you hear Mom speak of you. I know I do my sweet precious son.
Now we are home, Mom is writing to you and Mark is getting ready to work this evening by doing a cutover. It starts at 6 pm until whenever he gets done. Mom is going to just relax this evening being curled up with the pups and watching some TV shows that I have recorded. That way they will all be quiet for Mark to do his work. Tomorrow we both will be back to our regular routine. Mark will be working and Mom will be back to her studies!
Last night I had the chance to chat with Meme. We spoke for quite awhile. We talked about the move but other things as well. She is doing really well with getting things or should I said starting to get things in order and also thinking about what she is going to do with stuff that she will no longer need. Mom suggested to her to make a list of everything in each room...3 columns being... Stuff to keep, stuff to donate and stuff to sell. Her and Bob have a lot of stuff that they could get a lot of money for and they could either bank it or use it for the move or both. I suggested that Grandpa and Debbie do the same thing. They all liked the idea. Mark and I will be doing the same as well but we did all that less than a year ago when we transferred apartments. I know there are a few things that I could part with but not much more or we would have nothing. Mom started last weekend with clothes and shoes. Now it is time to look in the kitchen and my office to see what we don't need. We have time so I am not concerned about it as of right now. We will do a little at a time so it does not get overwhelming. Mom will keep you posted with all of our progress. I won't be speaking to anyone this evening. I already told them all that Mark had the cutover so we will chat on Wednesday night.
Can you believe that today is the last day of April? Tomorrow is May 1st. April pretty much flew by. All the months are flying by these days. We have only 6 months left on our lease here and then our lives are going to drastically change but for the better. Lots to do in these next few months though. I know everything will be okay because you will be by our sides and watching over us. Thank you.
Mom hopes that your night is fun and it is everything that you need and want it to be. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Mom will whisper to you later this evening and your candle is already lit and has been burning for about 30 minutes now. I whispered to you then so I hope you heard Mom. Smile for me later and I will smile to you as well. I love you with all my heart. To the moon and back and all the way around the world. I miss you like crazy. You will always be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live in my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you but for now I must get going to feed the pups and get dinner going for Mark and I before he starts work. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams pumpkin.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is today's prayer:
He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” Luke 22:41-42, NIV
Dear Father in heaven, we lift our eyes to you. You allow earthly events to follow their own course, and even your own Son had to suffer and die. But your plan is already prepared and you will act in our time according to your will. We pray, “Your will be done, your will!” In the midst of all the suffering let your love be revealed in many places, wherever it is possible for people to understand it. You have always protected us; protect us still. You have done much for us and we want to praise your name. We want to be people who always acknowledge you and praise you, for you will never let any be lost who hope in you. Be with us this night, help us, and send us the strength we need to serve you, also in our everyday life. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday evening? Mom says evening because time has escaped me once again and it is after 5 pm already. I just got done taking an exam and I got a 90 on it. So far I have straight A's. I think my overall grade is a 95 and I believe I still have a 4,0 GPA. This exam was the trickiest yet by far. I had 3 attempts at it and I did 2 of them. I decided not to do the 3rd one and stop at the 2nd one. I am okay with the grade that i got. The 2 questions that I got wrong I really don't know the answer to them and I will just stick with my gut feeling and just move forward to the next lesson tomorrow (well actually Wednesday). Anyways.... Mom is sorry that I did not write to you last evening but I never came into my office and I never went on my computer at all. I had my cell phone with me but it is really hard to type on that, at least for a letter to you it is. Mom and Mark got up early and we went out for the 1st half of the day. We arrived home at 2:30 pm, Mom put the groceries away and then we had a snack while watching a movie. After the movie was done, we fed the pups and got dinner going for ourselves. Mom did the dishes and then we watched a bit of tv for a couple hours and then went to bed. Mom slept like crap last night. I was up several times during the night. I am on a bit of the tired side today but I got up around 7 am, fed the pups and made Mark coffee while he started his day very early. Mom lounged in bed for a few after that to wake up. Around 9:30 am I was making the bed, vacuuming the floors, folding laundry, doing more laundry and then getting ready. Mom then made something to eat, did those dishes and then came in to start on my studies. That didn't last long as I got interrupted by a call from Grandpa. We were only going to chat for a couple minutes but we ended up chatting for over an hour. That is why I am so behind today but that is okay. I don't mind at all. Mark is and has been on a conference call for the last 4 hours and is still on it. Mom will finish this letter to you and then go feed the pups and then get dinner going for him and I. Tonight is pretty simple. We are having chef salads so that is easy and won't take much time at all to prep.
I spoke to Meme yesterday and we had a good chat. I put a call out to her today and I am awaiting to hear back from her tonight. I did also get a message from Aunt Beck. They are still in NC and are staying there for another couple weeks. They decided against traveling to the West due to the van. They are enjoying the warm weather and the beach. Guess they will not be back home until the middle of May. They will have been in NC for over 5 weeks. That is a nice getaway for sure. The weather here is still cloudy and rain and we will be getting more rain all this week. That will be almost 3 weeks of rain with maybe 2 days of sun and that will only have been a couple hours and not a full day. This weather is very depressing. Mom is the type that needs sun more than anything. I have so much energy when the weather is better and not gloomy. I sure hope that Mother Nature changes soon.
It is already April 29th. 2 days left of this month and Wednesday it will be May 1st. The dreaded Mother's day is the 12th this year and then 3 days later will be my birthday. we won't be doing anything special this year. Mom doesn't celebrate Mother's day now that you are gone but I will be getting my nails done that day only because it falls on the every 2 weeks. It will preoccupy me if nothing else. Mom will keep you posted on that.
Tomorrow Mark is taking a PTO day from work and we are going to the movies to see the new Avenger's movie. We have seen all the other ones in the theater so why not this one as well. It will be a nice couple of hours away. We will leave around 10:45 am and get there about 20 minutes before the movie starts. We will be back home around 3 pm...just in time to miss all the rush hour traffic. It works out great! Mom will write to you later tomorrow night on her iPad. That is much easier than the phone as I said earlier. I know I will not be getting on my computer so the iPad will have to do. I have no more updates for you today. Maybe some in the next few days. Mom really has to get going though because it is 5:23 pm and Ozzy has been whining because he is hungry. Mom sure hopes that your evening will be filled with all that you need and want to do. have fun while we are sleeping tonight. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. I will whisper to you later this evening so smile and I will smile back. I will also light the candle for you when I am done here. Remember that you are my true hero and the wind beneath my wings. You forever live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. I miss you my sweet precious son. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams.

Here is the prayer for the day:
The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 9:9–10, NIV
Lord our God, we look to you in our many needs, in the distress of our hearts, in the anguish of the whole world. We beseech you, let light come to your people everywhere on earth to bring them your help and your victory. Remember the wretched, the sick, the poor. Let your living strength come to them so that they can bear their sufferings and hold out joyfully to the end. Remember us all, O Lord our God, for we all need you. We are weak and poor and cannot go forward alone. Your Spirit must help us. May the Savior come to us, and may his grace and his power be born in our hearts. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Saturday afternoon? Mom has been super busy today all day long. Mark and Mom didn’t get too much sleep last night because the pups were super scared of the thunderstorms that we had. Mark slept more than Mom but not by much. The storms started at 8 pm and went until 1 am. Even the tv wasn’t masking the sound for them. Mark was up at 7:30 am and Mom was up at 8 am. We are hoping that tonight things will be better and we are able to get some solid sleep. It’s been raining all day again but my fingers are crossed that things will be better.
Mom and Mark decided to stay home and just relax today. Mark played his video games all day long while Mom decided to clean out her side of the closet, the pantry and under the bathroom sink in our bathroom. I started at 10 am and finished up a 3 pm. I was able to get rid of 3 bags of clothes and a few pairs of shoes. I feel great about it! Nothing else has been going on today and the phone has not rang at all but Mom did call Meme and we chatted for about an hour. We discussed a lot and Mom will be discussing more with her and Bob plus Grandpa and Debbie tomorrow. All this is not an east task at all. Things will go as smooth as we can do it. Mom is hoping that everyone will be happy. That is my goal. Mom has no updates for you at all today. Maybe I will have some for you tomorrow though. It is already 4:17pm. Mom needs to feed the pups and Mark has run out to grab dinner for us tonight. Mom just didn’t want to cook tonight and anyways it is my treat! Mom will light your candle 🕯 later this evening and I will whisper to you later tonight so smile when you hear me and I will smile back to you. Mom will do the daily prayer tomorrow because I am on my iPad right now. Mom never turned on her computer today let alone was in her office at all. I sure hope that your evening will be everything that you want and need. Come visit me in my dreams tonight if you can. Thank you my sweet precious son. I sure do 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 will live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Sorry that this letter is short tonight but Mom at least wanted to write to you instead of not doing one at all. I will be back tomorrow afternoon with another letter to you. For now, it is time for Mom to get back up and feed the pups and then eat dinner myself. Later we are hoping to relax while watching a movie and bed definitely early tonight! Until tomorrow comes.... good night and sweet dreams. I miss you so much, Tyler. Continue to light my path to what I need to be doing and where Mom needs to be going. Thanks pumpkin!
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 🖤

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! Happy Friday to you. I hope you are doing well on this rainy evening. Mom is okay. I have lost track of time today so this letter will be on the shorter side tonight so that I can feed the pups and get dinner going for Mark and I. He is busy doing a certification class and then an exam so Mom has to do it all this evening. That is okay though. It is already after 5 pm. Mom just got done studying for the day. I have taken so many notes that my hand is hurting. Writer's cramp is what they would call it. Mom is pretty tired today as well. I was wide awake at 2 am and had a very hard time falling back to sleep for some reason. I eventually did fall back to sleep and I woke up at 8 am. Mark was up already and fed the pups so that was good. The weather all day has been cold, gloomy and crappy. It is suppose to rain all night long and have high winds again. It is suppose to let up tomorrow morning though at some point. I think Mark and Mom are going to go out tomorrow for a bit and then come home and relax the rest of the time. I have things I want to do so it will be a good time to do it. Mom wants to go through her clothes and get rid of things that are too big or I don't wear anymore. I also want to go through my office closet and purge some things as well. Guess Mom is gearing up early for another packing in 6 months...well less than that now. I think one of the reasons that I haven't been sleeping the last couple nights is because I am in constant thinking of this upcoming move and how it is all going to work and where we are going to all live and where Mark will find work, etc.... it's a lot to think about in such a short time. I guess after talking to Meme and Grandpa they are thinking of wanting to get their own place for themselves. That is fine with Mom. Everyone will still have their privacy and also will have the option to keep everything that they want. It also means that Mark and Mom do not have to get a bigger place and we can save money that way as well. It will all work out in the end and everyone will be happy! Any guidance that you can help with would be fantastic. Thank you Tyler.
Mom has no updates for you at all today. I heard from no one. Phone rang once today and not at all last night. Mark got his vehicle today and his new laptop so he has been working on that the past 2 nights. Mom has been relaxing on the couch while he has done that. Tonight we will watch a movie seeings how it is raining. Thinking dinner will be pizza. Something simple. I sure hope that your evening is everything you want it to be and more. Mom will light the candle after I am done and I will whisper to you later tonight. I miss you and love you more than words. To the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then...good night and sweet dreams my sweet precious son. Now it is time to get the night routine going for us.

Here is the prayer for the day:
How good it is to give thanks to you, O Lord, to sing in your honor, O Most High God, to proclaim your constant love every morning, and your faithfulness every night. Psalm 92:1-2, TEV
We thank you, Lord our God. How much good you have poured out on us throughout our lives! And how much we should thank you every day! We thank you that again and again we feel your help and know that you can fill our earthly life with what is of heaven. May your kingdom come over the whole world, for all people are longing for faith and for mercy and are to be gathered into your house under the staff of the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ. Watch over us during the night. May your help go far and wide into the whole world. Stand by those who call upon you, even when they do not understand how they should pray. Help us and grant that the Savior may come, to the glory of your name. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday evening? Mom is doing okay today. I was up really early this morning...5:45 am and just could not fall back to sleep so I laid in bed for a bit and then got up at 6:45 am and fed the pups and made fresh coffee for mark while he stayed in bed sleeping. Mom laid back in bed for about an hour after that and then decided that the sun was shining bright so I got up, made the bed, did some housework, did laundry, broke down the boxes that needed to be done, did the garbage and then got ready. mark went and dropped his vehicle off at the auto place to get a couple things worked on. Guess it will be ready tomorrow as they did not call him today to let him know it was ready. Mom made lunch for us both and then came right in to my office. I had all intentions of studying today but I guess I just needed a break. I really did not do a thing but look at places to live and play my game. Now I have lost track of time and it is going on 5 pm. I need to get the pups fed and then start dinner for Mark and I.
Last night started out as a quiet evening. We were watching a movie and then Grandpa called at 8 pm and we chatted until 10 pm. He was telling me that his cat scan came back good and there was no signs of lung cancer. I didn't even know that they were doing that for that reason so it came as a shock to Mom but I said nothing. I am thankful and glad that it came back negative. He was also telling Mom that he may have to have a procedure done on his mouth that will take several weeks to heal depending on what they do. There is a couple different ways so he is not sure which way it will go. Mom will keep you posted as I know of everything. The last thing we were talking about was the potential move. They are on board with it. They want to stay this coming winter but move next Spring. So basically a year from now or 6 months after we do. He wants to do a few things around the house to get it ready to put it up for sale. I understand that and respect them for that as well. We are going to get together at some point in the next couple months and sit down and discuss it all. Mom sent Mark some links today (about 8) for potential jobs. He is going to send his resume to them and see what happens. Mom will find a job when we move and are settled. I have a few in mind already, I just have to be in that State. I really hope that this all can work out. Every one is getting older and it soon will be Mom's responsibility to take care of Meme and Grandpa. That is why I need them close by plus they need to get out of that town that they are in. It is getting bad and becoming a ghost town. There is nothing there. I want their last years of life to be sunny, fun and exciting. Mom wants them to go places and do things and have choices where we can do things separately and also together. Plus when Mark has to travel for work again, Mom will not be all alone. I can have them come to our place or I can go there. It is a win win for everyone! Mom will continue to keep you updated on this subject. If there is anything that you can do where you are to help this be as smooth as possible Mom would gladly appreciate it so much. Thank you my sweet precious son. The only other update that I have is that Meme called Aunt Beck and she said that they are staying in North Carolina for a few weeks and not going to the West Coast due to the van not being safe enough. Everyone is good though and they are enjoying their time on the beach. Still have not heard from Bean but I guess Meme spoke to her.
Tonight will be an evening with dinner for us, Mom cleaning up and maybe a walk with the pups and then we have a movie to catch up on and then watch another one. After that it will be bed so that we can get a good nights sleep. Tomorrow is already Friday! Let the weekend begin. It is going to be rainy all weekend but that is okay. Mom and Mark will be going out on Saturday for a bit and then Sunday I have a nail appointment plus we both have things that we want to do in the apartment as well. All in all it should be a good weekend....just crummy weather....lol.
I hope that you have a fun night while Mom gets some sleep. Hope you get to do all the things that you need to do and want to do as well. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. I will whisper to you later this evening. Smile that smile I loved and miss so much. I will light your candle in a bit as well. I miss you like crazy 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. Forever you are living inside my heart, mind, body and soul. That will never change. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. For now I have to get dinner going for Mark and I. Pups have already been fed! Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is today's prayer:
And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.” Revelation 1:17-18, NIV

Lord our God, we thank you with all our hearts that Jesus Christ still lives today and that we may believe in him and call upon him as our Savior. We thank you for him who sees to the depths of our human misery and calls right into the midst of it, “Do not be afraid. I am with you. I live. I am your helper. No matter how insignificant you are, fear not, for I, Jesus Christ, shine into all the darkness, even into the darkness of sin and death, into all the judgment that has fallen or is still to come upon everyone on Earth.” Praise to your name, Lord our God! You are great and almighty and beyond our understanding. But you have sent us the Savior whom we can understand, and we rejoice that we may have community with him in your presence. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? The weather today started out cloudy and gloomy but now it is sunny and blue skies. The temp is pretty nice out there as well. Mom got a pretty good night sleep last night. I woke up a couple times during the night and then I was completely up at 7:30 am. Mark let me sleep in so he fed the pups and made his own coffee. That was really sweet. Mom laid in bed for a couple hours looking at emails and playing a game on her phone before I decided to get up, mop the floors, vacuum the floors and then get ready. After all that was done, Mom made something to eat and I was studying away at 11 am. I finished taking all my notes for Lesson 5 and I actually did my exam as well. I got a 100%. I was so happy! My grade is now a 97 and I am 30% done with the course. Mom is trucking along! This course makes me happy and I am enjoying it so much more then the medical stuff. I really can't wait to get started on this as a job though. every one says that Mom will be good at it. I am not sure but I know I will enjoy it.
Last night was a quiet night again. The phone did not ring at all. I thought Grandpa would call but he did not. Maybe tonight he will. Mark and I had dinner, Mom did the clean up and then we watched tv the entire night. Mom was in bed sleeping by 10 pm and Mark was in bed at 10:30 pm. The rainy weather just got to us I suppose. Neither of us felt like doing anything the last couple of days. Hopefully that will change with the sun shining bright. I never heard from Bean and I have no idea where Aunt Beck is now. I will touch base with them again tomorrow. I will give you updates on everything when I have some. Tonight, Mom will feed the pups and make dinner and maybe we will take the pups for a walk. It looks quiet and nice out so I think they will enjoy it. The balcony doors are open and the heat is not coming on so that is a sign that the temp is nice out there. Later we will watch some tv and then go to bed. It is Thursday tomorrow and it is still a work day and school day for Mom.
Mom is still trying to figure out what to do regarding this whole move thing. I started to do some research to get some answers and nothing is coming to me right now. I will still continue to do the research so that I am prepared to have that talk with meme this weekend. If you can help Mom in any way that would be great. I will take all the help I can get. Thank you my sweet precious son.
That is all I have for you today. A quick letter to say hello, you are always on my mind, you are in my heart, mind, body and soul. I miss you so 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. I will light your candle in a little bit and I will whisper to you later this evening. I will smile to you and close my eyes and picture your smile that Mom misses so much. I hope that your evening will be everything you would like it to be and need it to be. Have fun while Mom sleeps tonight. I will be back again tomorrow with another letter to you so until then.....good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the daily prayer for the day:
And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 2 Peter 1:19, NIV
Lord God, we thank you for giving us light here on earth, where it is so often completely dark. But in the darkness the name of Jesus Christ shines out as the prophetic Word: “Be comforted. After darkness comes light, after night comes day!” We thank you for this light. In joy we thank you, for we have experienced that Jesus lives and comes to meet each one, bringing victory over enemy powers. In the name of Jesus Christ and in his name alone we ask you to remember the needs of our time. We do not want anything that comes from ourselves. We do not want any earthly peace. We want your peace, Lord God, the peace in which everything becomes new, born anew even in suffering, to the eternal glory of your name. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom has been busy today but all seems to be okay. Mark and I went to bed early last night and we were up early again this morning with Princess. For some reason she was panting and shaking again. Mark got up with her and came out to the living room until she calmed down. He came back to bed about 30 minutes later and Mom fell right back to sleep until 7:30 am. I lounged in bed for a bit and then got up, made the bed, took a shower and got ready and then came out and did a bit of housework, made something to eat and then came right in to study. I took the rest of my notes for this lesson and then took the exam. I got 1 wrong again. I got a 95%. My grade overall is a 95 and my GPA is a 4.0. Mom is happy with that! Tomorrow I will get right back to it and do more note taking and then it will be another exam as well. I am 25% done with the course. I am enjoying learning all that it will take to be an Event Planner. I am passionate about this so I want to learn all that I can and also do well in the field that I want to go into. Mark had a slow day today at work. He was on a few calls today for a bit but nothing major. I guess it is a blessing in disguise because he is not feeling that well today. He has a headache, achy all over and he was saying that his stomach hurt. I hope he feels better tomorrow. I think the weather has a lot to do with it. Again...day 3 right in a row it is cloudy, gray and looks like we will be getting rain again. No sun for day 4. This is blah and doesn't help with the attitudes and emotions. According to the weather channel it will start raining again around 11 pm tonight and it will rain until 3 am or so. Looks like the sun may appear tomorrow for a bit but rain again for Friday. The weekends weather doesn't look good either. Dang!
Last night, Mark and Mom had dinner, I did the dishes and then we relaxed for the evening. We watched some of our shows and then called it a night. The phone rang 1 time and it was Meme. She kind of upset me with what she said. Mom is still processing the whole thing. I am not sure of what to do at this point. You see, Mark and Mom plan on moving again in 6 months when our lease here is up. We were thinking of staying around here but then we said we were not sure. We thought about Texas again, Florida or somewhere warm with no more winters again. Mom has no ties in NH other than Meme, Bob, Grandpa and Debbie. Bean is there but I have not seen her in almost 5 years and only 2 times in almost 9 years. Mark and I discussed having everyone come along as well if they were up for a move. meme said about a month ago that her and Bob were in. I mentioned it to Grandpa and Debbie over the weekend and they seemed interested. That was a great sign...well until last night when Meme called. She started asking me all kinds of questions on what they would do with all their stuff that they wanted to keep. Some I understand but other things are a bit ridiculous. She said she was ready to down size and part with things but with the way she was talking she now doesn't want to. She was saying that Mark and Mom would have our own computer rooms/office but they would only have a bedroom and en suite. I told her yes that was true because they all would be retired and we would still be working, etc.... plus it would be mark and Mom's house that they would be living in. I don't think she liked it when I said that. After the call I was upset and frustrated. I believe that now she and Bob will not move. That is their choice and there is nothing I can do about that. I just hope she will not regret it in the long run. I guess time will tell. I told her that I would call her over the weekend and we could revisit it again then. Maybe I will have a clearer mind set.
Tonight, I think will be the same as last night. Grandpa may call but that will probably be it. It will be a relaxing night and bed early again. Mark and Mom really need to get a good nights sleep for once to be able to wake up feeling well rested. If you can help us with that, Tyler, it would be gladly appreciated. Mom hopes that your evening will be everything that you would like it to be and need it to be. I bet without a doubt that you are flying high and free and learning so much. I know that you are always busy but you are around when we need help. Thank you so much for that. It means the world to Mom. I miss you like crazy, every day and every night and all the time in between too. I love you more than words can say. 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 live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Have fun tonight while Mom sleeps. If you can, come visit me in my dreams tonight or sit next to me. Thanks my sweet precious son. I will light your candle in a bit and I will whisper to you later tonight so be listening for my voice. Smile when you hear Mom and I will smile back to you. It is 4:20 pm right now and it is time for Mom to get going, get the pups fed and then think of what we are having for dinner as well. I will be back tomorrow so until then....good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

I look for your deliverance, Lord. Genesis 49:18, NIV
Lord our God, help us in these days that are so difficult for us. Help us never to lose our expectation of the time that is to come, the time of Jesus Christ, Lord of heaven and earth. Strengthen us, we pray, and strengthen those all over the world who have to endure great suffering, especially the destitute and the dying. May your heavenly hosts come down to the many who are in misery, so that your name is praised in life and in death, in whatever we have to go through. For we shall praise you, no matter what happens now or in the days ahead. May your glory remain in our hearts, with the joy that you, O God, are the Father of all. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is doing better today than I was yesterday. Thank you for watching over me. I really appreciate it so much. Mom has been up since 7 am. I lounged in bed for a bit to wake up while Mark fed the pups and made his coffee. I got up later and made the bed, vacuumed the floors again and then took a shower. After that I made something to eat, did the dishes and then came right in to study. I have been doing that all afternoon. My hand needed a break from writing so i thought that I would write you your letter.
The weather started out clear and cloudy and for the last few hours it has been heavy rain and wind. It is nasty out there. The weather states that we are going to have a lot of rain this week and very little sun. I guess April has 8 more days so the April showers bring May flowers. The temp outside is also not the greatest. It is 50 degrees. Mom had to put the heat on this morning only to find out that it was not working. I had to have maintenance come back again and figure out what was going on. The value ended getting shut off over the weekend when he was here fixing the AC. All is well now though. We have heat again. The wind is scaring Princess so Mommy is trying to hold her while typing to you with one hand. This kind of weather really scares her and Mom is not sure why. I paused for a few minutes to put some music on and just sit here and hold her. She is doing better now but not where Mom wants her to be just yet. This kind of weather makes Mom tired and achy. Mark is feeling the same way. Mom had to take a bit longer of a break because it appears that Princess had a seizure and was just not shaking. Mark was on the phone so I had to handle it by myself. She is alright now. She is just tired and still scared of the rain and wind that is coming down. We just fed them and they both ate but they are both shaking still. Mom will get off the computer and go sit with them on the couch while I have a quick bite to eat for dinner. I am not concerned on what we are having tonight.... Mom is concerned about the pups. I know you understand what i am talking about. I am done studying as well for the day now as it is after 5 pm. I will study tomorrow and I will be taking another exam.
I really have no updates but what I do know is that everyone made it home safely yesterday and arrived in NH around 5:30 pm. I texted bean to say hello but got no response. Aunt beck and John are in North Carolina at the beach and they are enjoying it. Guess everything is going well with the van. That is good news. mark worked all day and just got off the phone. He has a somewhat simple week of work this week which will be a nice change for him. He needs it. Mom will continue to study this week and hopefully I can get alot accomplished. The weekend will be relaxing with no plans at all other than a nail appointment on Sunday. Tonight will be relaxing on the couch watching some tv and then going to bed. Hopefully the rain will calm down and so will the wind so that everyone can get a good night sleep. Mom will light your candle in a few minutes and I will whisper to you as I always do. Smile for me and I will smile to you. I miss you 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. Forever you are live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then....good night and sweet dreams my sweet precious son. Have fun tonight doing what you do while I am sleeping. Come visit if you can. Thank you.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is the prayer for the day:
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is doing better today than I was yesterday. Thank you for watching over me. I really appreciate it so much. Mom has been up since 7 am. I lounged in bed for a bit to wake up while Mark fed the pups and made his coffee. I got up later and made the bed, vacuumed the floors again and then took a shower. After that I made something to eat, did the dishes and then came right in to study. I have been doing that all afternoon. My hand needed a break from writing so i thought that I would write you your letter.
The weather started out clear and cloudy and for the last few hours it has been heavy rain and wind. It is nasty out there. The weather states that we are going to have a lot of rain this week and very little sun. I guess April has 8 more days so the April showers bring May flowers. The temp outside is also not the greatest. It is 50 degrees. Mom had to put the heat on this morning only to find out that it was not working. I had to have maintenance come back again and figure out what was going on. The value ended getting shut off over the weekend when he was here fixing the AC. All is well now though. We have heat again. The wind is scaring Princess so Mommy is trying to hold her while typing to you with one hand. This kind of weather really scares her and Mom is not sure why. I paused for a few minutes to put some music on and just sit here and hold her. She is doing better now but not where Mom wants her to be just yet. This kind of weather makes Mom tired and achy. Mark is feeling the same way. Mom had to take a bit longer of a break because it appears that Princess had a seizure and was just not shaking. Mark was on the phone so I had to handle it by myself. She is alright now. She is just tired and still scared of the rain and wind that is coming down. We just fed them and they both ate but they are both shaking still. Mom will get off the computer and go sit with them on the couch while I have a quick bite to eat for dinner. I am not concerned on what we are having tonight.... Mom is concerned about the pups. I know you understand what i am talking about. I am done studying as well for the day now as it is after 5 pm. I will study tomorrow and I will be taking another exam.
I really have no updates but what I do know is that everyone made it home safely yesterday and arrived in NH around 5:30 pm. I texted bean to say hello but got no response. Aunt beck and John are in North Carolina at the beach and they are enjoying it. Guess everything is going well with the van. That is good news. mark worked all day and just got off the phone. He has a somewhat simple week of work this week which will be a nice change for him. He needs it. Mom will continue to study this week and hopefully I can get alot accomplished. The weekend will be relaxing with no plans at all other than a nail appointment on Sunday. Tonight will be relaxing on the couch watching some tv and then going to bed.

Here is the prayer for the day:
Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, like men waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. Luke 12:35–36, NIV
Lord our God, we wait in expectation. Even in the great distress on earth, we wait in longing for your day to come, for the pangs of death to pass, so that your kingdom may arise and the reign of Jesus Christ may spread over the whole world in power and glory. May your promise be fulfilled and your will be done on earth. May there always be people who believe and who pray in faith, “Lord God, come! Come, Lord God. Humankind does not understand how to live. Send us Jesus Christ, the Savior, Lord, and Judge of the dead and the living. Put an end to sin and death!” We thank you for giving us this faith and for letting us pray at all times, “Come, Lord Jesus. Yes, come soon, Lord Jesus!” We ask you to protect us in this faith. Bring this faith to fulfillment for the glory of your name. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Happy Easter to you in Heaven. I hope you are celebrating with all our family and friends. We miss you all here and wish that you were with us. We spoke about you, Nana, Pepe, Grammy, etc...throughout the weekend. I hope you heard us all and made you smile. Mom is sorry that I didn't write to you really the last couple of days but from Friday until now it has been crazy busy. Friday, Mom did housework and then didn't do anything but sit on the couch and watch tv as Thursday night we did not get any sleep because the high winds scared Princess and both Mark and I were up with her until 2 am. Mom decided to take the time off and not push myself. I watched a couple movies in the afternoon and that was about it. Saturday morning we were up early and we had to do some errands and running around. Mom was up at 6 am and fed the pups , got ready and we were out the door by 9 am. We got back and meme, Bob, Grandpa and Debbie were already here. They had pulled in just a few minutes before us. We got inside and said our hellos and then everyone had coffee and something to eat. We really just visited and then ordered lunch and the guys went to pick it up while Mom, Meme and Debbie stayed here. We ate and then lounged around and visited for a bit until our groceries showed up. Mom put everything away and then we played some poker and what a game it was. I think you were with us and laughing so hard. It came down to Grandpa and Debbie and at the ens Debbie won by 1 point. It was so much fun. We finished up at 9:30 pm and then got all the beds made up and everyone went to bed except Debbie and Grandpa. They stayed up for a bit and watched tv. Mom was so tired but I did not sleep at all. I took a dang water pill at 5 pm and it kicked in at 10 pm and I was up every 1/2 hour. Again I was awake at 7 am. Mark fed the pups while I started coffee and breakfast for everyone. Mom cleaned up after that and relaxed for a bit. Then when Grandpa woke up, I made his breakfast and did those dishes. I finally took a shower and got ready. After that shower, Mom started to feel weird. I was light headed, dizzy, my stomach hurt and I almost passed out. I am not sure what was going on but I was scared. I told Mark but no one else. I didn't want to worry them. It has now been about 4 hours since that and I am slowly feeling better. I whispered to you to help Mom. Thank you so much. I think that I will feel better as the hours go on. Everyone had lunch and dessert and we watched a movie after that. Around 2:30 pm everyone decided that they needed to start packing up so that they could get on the road so that they didn't hit traffic. Mark helped them carry everything down and Mom stayed up in the apartment with the pups. After they left I cleaned the bathrooms, mopped the floors, vacuumed the floors, did all the laundry ( 2 loads ) and gathered the trash up. Now I am all down that and writing to you. After Mom is finished I will be going to the couch and relaxing, having dinner and going to bed very early tonight to get some very much needed sleep. Everyone had a great time and Grandpa said that it was an excellent Easter. That my made feel good! The sun is finally out and the skies are turning blue. It is pretty warm here today as well. Yesterday was rainy and 72 degrees. Today it is 66 degrees. Tomorrow and Tuesday will be rain again and much cooler. That stinks! Anyways... Mom will be trying to reach out to Aunt Beck and Bean in a bit to say Happy Easter. Not sure where any of them are today. I will update you on all that when I find out though. That is all the updates that I have and details of the last few days here. Mom will light your candle in a bit and I will whisper to you later. Please continue to watch over me and help me to feel better. Thank you 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 hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you are in my heart, mind, body and soul. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Have fun tonight while I sleep. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thank you. Mom is going to go for now though and just relax. My stomach is not feeling so great again. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams later.

Here is the prayer for the day:
He ransoms me unharmed from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me. Psalm 55:18, NIV
Dear Father in heaven, grant that we may come into your presence as your children. Give to us all that we need each day, so that we are no longer caught in the turmoil of life but can receive your peace. For you care for us as your children, and we are allowed to go confidently through all the troubles of these times because our way leads to you, the eternal Father in heaven. Keep us from going astray and from spending our efforts on what is temporal and cannot last. Let your light strengthen us in what is of heaven, in what is eternally true for our lives. Amen.
