Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Mom has been up since 6 am. I was out of bed at 7 am to feed the pups and make coffee for Mark. He was still sleeping.Once I was done with that I crawled back in bed until 8:30 am so that the pups would stay quiet while Mark slept. After he was awake, I got up, made the bed, did a load of laundry, got ready, made something to eat and now I am writing to you. It is just 12 noon. I am finished all that I wanted to today already. Mark and Mom were going to go out and run errands and tackle the garage but that is not happening now. Mark is not feeling well and hasn't since about 3 pm yesterday afternoon. I told him we would do the garage this week during the evening if we had to or Saturday at the latest as we have zero time left to try and clear it all out. Mom will drop him off at PT tomorrow morning and while he is there I will go to the store and grab the things that we need and then go get him when he is finished. This way he can relax all day and hopefully he will be feeling better soon. The last thing that absolutely needed to get done was putting away groceries when they got delivered and Mom just did that so now I am officially finished all that I needed to and it is only 1:07 pm!!!! Now I have the rest of the day to do what I want to and I think it will be lounging on the couch and watching TV until dinner time and then after dinner, the same thing! It is football day but the Cowboys don't play until the late game at 8:20 pm so Mom isn't watching any until then. I know the Patriots play as well today but not sure who they are playing so I will let you know how both those games went on tomorrows letter to you!
Mom is sorry that I didn't write to you yesterday but Mark and Mom left at 11 am and what we thought was going to be a quick trip to the cell phone store turned out to be an all day event. we were suppose to go to lunch with his friend too but that was also cancelled. We were at the cell phone store until about 12:30 pm. Mom and Mark ordered new phones. Mark got his on Wednesday and Mom's was back ordered. I got on line Friday evening to check the status and it said that it was back ordered for even longer so Mom had to chat live with an agent to have them cancel that order. I was on the phones Friday as well trying to hunt down the phone I ordered but no luck. No one had it so yesterday we went into the store and I checked out the phones there and picked one out. we got out of there and then headed to the mall to get covers for both our phones. We went into 2 stores and then back home again. We got in after 3 pm. Mark all of a sudden started to not feel so well. He looked terrible too. He was shaking and pale and he said he was really tired. That wasn't good. He also was really snappy and was quite angry at anything and everything. Mom left him alone and I ordered dinner because I didn't feel like cooking. I also made a couple phone calls. Dinner came, we ate and Mark parked himself on the couch and Mom stayed in the living room as well just to be safe. He was watching TV and I was setting up my cell phone. We watched a bit of TV until about 10 pm and then we went to bed. Mom is thinking that the walking in the mall made me feel yucky. We didn't go very far at all but it is the longest that he has walked in a very long time. I think the lack of hydration and food didn't help either. I wish that he would take better care of himself then what he does. Mom worries about him more now than ever before. Mom is keeping an eye out on him today as well. He is just tooling around on his computer right now and in a bit we are going to finish binge watching a show we started.
So, as of Friday Grandpa was officially retired at 4 pm. I called to chat with him. He said it was weird. He finished his shift, said bye to a few people, turned around and scanned the store and he walked out. I think it was bittersweet for him. Debbie had a different night for her last one on Friday. She went in late because she had a hair appointment to begin with. All was well. She had her break around 6 pm. She ate her grinder and then a little bit later...like 30 minutes, she ended up in the ER until 2 am Saturday morning. She was pumped with fluids and was diagnosed with food poisoning. I chatted with her yesterday morning around 8 am and she was still sick. I guess by last night she was doing and felling much better. Meme has Monday to go and Tuesday, October 1st will be her last day. I think she gets to leave at 12 noon. She will find it very different come Wednesday but this is a good thing for all 3 of them. It is very much needed! Last night Meme and Bob went to West Leb to have dinner with Jennifer and Bob's side of the family. She said it went okay. I was worried but all in all it was good. I am happy for Bob. I think that is all the updates that I have for you for the last 2 days. I am sure to have more this week though. Tomorrow is Monday again and Mark works and Mom will be on the phones and emailing many as the moving day is approaching so fast now! I will be back with another letter to you though in the afternoon. Mom has had the candle lit for about 2 hours now. It will stay that way until tonight. I will whisper to you later this evening so when you hear Mom, please smile for me and I will close my eyes and see your sweet face. I will smile back to you too. 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 live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom is going to go relax now and do nothing at all...well maybe call Meme...lol Until tomorrow comes....have fun today and tonight. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thanks my sweet precious son. Good night and sweet dreams later.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
P.S. Yesterday 9/28 was National Son's Day....Mom posted on your Facebook page. Hope you saw it! I love you, Tyler xoxoxo

Here is the prayer for the day:
A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. John 16:21–22, NIV
Dear Father in heaven, grant us your Spirit so that here on earth we may be united with you in Jesus Christ the Savior. May truth dawn on us with its light, bringing joy no matter what happens to us. May all the pain in our lives be turned into birth pangs of a new life in which we can rejoice as people you have created, people prepared for the struggle on earth, who are called into battle and led to victory. Grant that we may not be blinded by the surrounding darkness. Shed a clear light on the new life that is coming. May we see what has already happened because Jesus Christ came to the earth and remains on earth, and may we see what is still to come through him, the Savior. O God of wonders, keep us aware of the wonders that increasingly surround us, until all the pain on earth is finally overcome and we men glorify your love and your great goodness. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Mom is doing alright I suppose. I was up early this morning feeding the pups and getting mark settled into work. I went back to bed and lounged around for a bit but then I was up, emailing, texting, etc....for about an hour. When I was finished with that Mom decided to make something to eat. I did the dishes after and then went and got ready. I am now finished with all that and I am able to write to you for a few minutes before the emails and texts start up again. That seems to be Mom's typical day during the week for the past 3 months while Mark is working...lol.
The sun is shining again today! It is beautiful outside. Mom didn't get the chance to see a painting in the sky last night because around 4 pm it got really really dark and we had heavy rain and some wind up until 9 pm. Maybe I will see one tonight though. I will be looking like I do every night.
Seems like it is going to be a busy weekend here for us. Mark's friend, Rick is taking us to lunch tomorrow and then on Sunday we are cleaning the garage out. We have been putting that off and we can't any longer because we have 2 weeks to go and our butts are on a plane. That will be about 3 hours of work and then we will have to go out and run errands after. Sunday night will be all about relaxing! Tonight will be about having dinner and relaxing as well. We have nothing planned. mark may play his game for a bit later though and that will be fine with Mom. I can watch a movie while he is doing that!
Last night Mom spoke to Grandpa. I congratulated him on today being his last day of work! I was surprised to know that it has been 50 years of working for Grandpa. Just wow! Now is the time for him to completely enjoy every day with no worries of work. Debbie is retired as of 11 pm tonight. She has 8 hrs to go and she is done. Meme has 2 days and that is it! She told me she had a nice party yesterday. She received some nice gifts, a cake, pictures and lots of good lucks. That sounded like a fun time. She seemed happy. Mom will chat with all of them over the weekend and I will update you more on how they are feeling!
Uncle Dick is still in the hospital and will be for a few more days. His color was better yesterday and today. He was suppose to have surgery on his foot today but because he was having too much trouble breathing, the surgery is set for Monday hopefully. Mom is praying for him and Aunt Jacqui. Our cousins daughter is in the hospital. She is having her 24th blood transfusion, her 17th platelet transfusion and 10 bone marrow biopsy since May. My prayers are with her, her Mom and her brothers too. A friend of mine just told us all that her breast cancer has come back again. She just finished her fight a few months ago after a 1 1/2 year battle and now it is back. I feel so bad for her. She has a good attitude and head on her shoulders. She is strong and will fight the fight. Mom will be praying for her too. My other friend's brother and his wife are still in the hospital from that DWI accident. I haven't heard any updates on them in a couple days but I think they are still in critical condition. Mom also spoke to Auntie Kristina today. She is staying with her Mom and Dad and helping him out. She was having a serious meltdown when I called her. She is tired and her dog Mojo is not well and she was losing it. I called at the right time and chatted with her until her sister arrived. My heart hurts for them all too. I hope she listens to Mom and takes my advice. I will keep you posted on everyone when I get updates. That is all for today...that is enough for today, huh?
Mom started your letter at 1:30 pm and it is now 5:00 pm. I had phone calls, text messages, emails, etc... all going at the same time and it was a mess. Finally they are all done. That was a crazy 2+ hours! Now it is time to feed the pups and get dinner going for us. We were suppose to have take out tonight because I won a bet last night but that is not happening now as we will not be eating for another 2 hours. Mom will take the rain check for Sunday night instead! Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you in the evening as the day time we will be out. I will light your candle tonight too. Listen for me to whisper to you later when I go to bed. Smile to Mom and I will smile to you. I miss you so much and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you are in my heart, mind, body and soul. Have fun tonight getting to do all the things you need to do and want to do. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Mom has to go for now but I will be back...until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams!
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer:
I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; before the "gods" I will sing your praise. I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your unfailing love and your faithfulness, for you have so exalted your solemn decree that it surpasses your fame. Psalm 138:1–2, NIV
Dear Father in heaven, we thank you for your mercy and for your great goodness and power, revealed to us through the ages and in the present time. We live by your revelation, Lord God Almighty, for you perform wonders on earth and you reign in heaven so that heaven can bless and help us on our earthly pilgrimage. Grant that your loving-kindness and your justice may be revealed through all the world. Come, O Lord our God, bring the light for us who believe in you, and be the light for the whole world. Glory to your name, for you are indeed our Father in heaven and on earth, and you give certainty for our life in time and in eternity. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom is being just fine today. I guess I am playing catch up with my sleep these last two mornings if there is even such a thing. I woke up at 7:30 am this morning. Second day straight of sleeping in. Guess my body is needing all the rest after these last few weeks of not sleeping well at all. Mark got up again and fed the pups for me. That was so sweet. Mom appreciated it so much. I did get up and lounged in bed for a couple hours to wake up and then I got up, got ready, made the bed and then Mark and Mom took the pups out for a nice long walk. The sun is shining bright and the temp was on the warmer side but there was such a nice breeze. Just another gorgeous Fall day. We stayed outside for about 20 minutes and then came back in. We noticed that Princess can't walk up the stairs anymore. She was only a few stairs in and she needed to be picked up. That makes Mom so sad. She is really getting gray now. I told her the other day to stop it because I know time is precious with her and I am not ready to say goodbye at all just yet. I am hoping a have a few more years left with her here with us. After we came in from our walk, we had some lunch and then Mark went back to work and Mom had to handle a crisis at the new home. After 20 minutes, the crisis is adverted and everything is all okay! Thank God for that. It is so hard to try and juggle everything up her for down there. There is 1300+ miles that are between us but the folks on the other end are so sweet and helpful. We are all very thankful for that!
Mom has nothing really to do today at all so after I am finished my letter to you, I am going to take a couple hours this afternoon and just do absolutely nothing before it is time to make dinner and feed the pups. It is 1:30 pm so i have a bit of "me time " left! Mom will light your candle when I am done on here. I think tonight will be the last night and the last one will be lit tomorrow evening. When this one is finished though I will have no more to burn until we are all set in our new home. Just know that the minute the candles get unpacked it will be lit for you my sweet precious son! Mom misses you so much.... I miss you like crazy! I love you more than anything. To the moon and back and all the way around the world. To infinity and beyond! You will forever be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. You will always live in my heart, mind, body and soul.
Well today is the day that Meme's job is throwing her, her retirement party. They are having it catered as well! She has worked there for 32 years! She told me that she will miss a lot of people and then some not so much. I think this will be good for her though as this job is so stressful for her. She needs to be away from that environment. She has 3 days left. Next Tuesday will be her last day. Tomorrow will be Grandpa and Debbie's last day as well. We are now 17 days out. That is 2 weeks and 3 days. Mom is starting to get really nervous but I will not show it to anyone. Our whole lives are about to change again. This time we did it to ourselves and not because of Mark's job. I know you will be with us all and I hope I get some signs along the way because I will need them. Thank you so much!
Meme said that Uncle Dick is not doing well at all. He is not really coherent and they have a hard time waking him up. His sugar levels are all over the place and he also has distention in his stomach. Not sure what is really going on but it doesn't sound good at all. Mom is praying for him though. I will keep you updated when I know of things. That is all I have for today. I think Mom is going to go take advantage of the slow afternoon and go relax and just do nothing for a couple of hours. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. I will whisper to you later as well so smile for me and I will do the same for you. Have fun later tonight doing all the things that you need to do or want to do. Come visit me in my dreams if you have a chance. Mom will be looking out for the painting in the sky tonight too. Until tomorrow comes....have a wonderful afternoon and good night and sweet dreams later. I love you, Tyler.

Here is the prayer for the day:
Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. Revelation 3:20, RSV
Lord our God, we are your children, who come before you and stand in your presence. Be with us and be our light in all situations of life, in all hardships and grief. Be our light, as you have always been. Reveal your power so that the world may know you as we have come to know you. Give us joyful readiness to persevere until your day comes, for the brightness of your day will shine through all darkness and will end all evil, to the glory of your name. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing today on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. I was able to stay home today and I got a few more things accomplished around the apartment. I was able to do vacuuming, laundry and I packed up 3 more boxes of stuff that Mark and Mom were not using and wouldn't until we moved so that was good. Little by little we are getting there. I would say just a couple more boxes are left and we are good to go! It won't be long now! We have 18 days before the movers get here and 19 days before we are on an airplane. That is nuts! I remember when Mom was counting it down and we had like 70 something days...where the heck did that time go? Mom will be bringing her iPad and her cell phone with me so I will be able to write to you on that while we wait for our stuff to show up and get unpacked. I will write to you daily but I am not sure how long the letters will be because it will depend on the day that we are having. The first week will be crazy busy but Mom will still write to you. I promise!
This morning Mark got up and fed the pups. Mom was so tired last night that we both crashed at 10 pm and Mom woke up at 8:30 am. That was a surprise. When I woke up I looked at the clock and was like wow! Mark was already working in his office. Mom decided to lay in bed for a bit to wake up and it was such a nice change from what I am used to. It has been months since I have slept in. Guess yesterdays outing to Mark's office wore me out more than I thought. I did get a good night sleep as well. Waking up later though has really screwed up my day...lol. I didn't feel like doing anything but I did. It is almost time for Mom to feed the pups their dinner and get dinner going for us too. It is 4:55 pm. Mark is still on a work call so I think I have a few more minutes to write to you before I have to sign off for the day.
The weather once again is sunny and beautiful. The sky is blue and very little clouds in the sky. Last night we got some rain but nothing major. The rest of the week is suppose to be sunny in the low 80's. That will be nice. I think we are going to get rain tomorrow but that is okay. Mom is not going to say a word because I am enjoying all this sunshine! Hopefully with this weather you will have the time to paint some beautiful colors in the sky for Mom. I look every night for them. I smile when I see it and I take pictures. I whisper to you as well so I hope you hear Mom when I do. I will whisper to you tonight as well. Smile for me and I will smile to you my sweet precious son.
Last night Mom spoke to Meme. She was telling me that she had a conversation with Jen, Bob's daughter. She was saying that it went okay. It didn't start out that way but it ended on a somewhat okay note. I wish the two of them would put the past in the past and just be civil to one another because that would be so helpful to Bob. Aunt Beck and I have told Meme this for years and nothing ever comes of it. Maybe this time it will but I am not counting on it. I just feel bad for Bob. Mom will let you know how things go because they are all going out to eat on Saturday. Moms fingers are crossed.
I also found out that Uncle Dick is in the hospital again. He was taken there yesterday. I guess he has an infection again in his foot and according to Aunt Jacqui it is that bad. He was admitted for a few days to have some IV meds. Mom is watching for updates so I will let you know when I get any. That is all I have for today. Maybe Mom will have more tomorrow for you.
Mark is getting off his call, the pups are sleeping but Ozzy will be waking up in a few minutes to tell me it is time to eat as it is 5:05 pm and Mom is late...lol. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Have fun while I sleep tonight and come visit me in my dreams if you can. I miss you beyond anything I could ever say. 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 live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams, Tyler.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is the prayer for the day:
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more...And he who sat upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." Also he said, "Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true." Revelation 21:1, 5, RSV

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. We were up very early this morning because Mom had to drive Mark to his office in Lexington to meet his new boss. We fed the pups, Mom made Mark coffee and the I jumped in the shower, got ready and while Mark was getting ready, Mom made the bed, got everything together and we hit the road at 9 am. We got stuck in a bit of traffic but not too bad. We made it to his office at 10:05 am. 5 minutes late. Mom dropped Mark off and then I went a couple miles down the road and found a McDonalds. I had a drink and a bit to eat. I sat there for a little over 2 hours. I did emails, phone calls and a bunch of other stuff. I was pleased with what I did. I left McDonalds and gassed up my vehicle and went back to get Mark. We were back on the road by 12:30 pm and got home around 1:15pm. We made good time. Mom was super proud of herself as I drove the entire way to and from. Once we got home I made some lunch for us and ate. After, I came into my office to do the rest of what I needed to and my computer decides that it is going to do an update. That was about 1 hour ago. It is only on 23%. This is crazy. Don’t know why it’s taking this long but oh well. I have had the chance to relax for a bit and now write to you!
Marks meeting and meet and greet went well. From what he said he was pleased. He thanked me for taking him today. That was very nice. I am happy for him and happy that he went. Mom is very tired though. I saw every hour last night. Went to bed at 11pm and was awake at 1,2,3,4,5 am and at 6 am I decided to get up. Mark was up a lot as well too. That is not normal for him. I think it is going to be a very early night for us tonight. Mom could take a nap but I am not going to. I keep yawning and my eyes are watery. I figured that after I write to you I will go sit on the couch and watch tv. I don’t think I will be getting on my computer anytime soon. That’s okay. I did the majority of it this morning!
The weather today is gorgeous! The skies are blue and the sun is shining bright. It really was a nice day for a drive. Last night it must have rained and we must have gotten so thunder because Princess was shaking for a bit. Didn’t last long at all though which was great for all of us. So far the Autumn season is starting out nice! Mom is going to enjoy it while she is still living here because after that there really isn’t 4 seasons any longer. It is sun, hot humid, and rain....lol. Tomorrow’s another PT day for Mark and then Thursday and Friday are just work days for him. This weekend we are going to lunch with his friend, Rick and Sunday we will run errands and clean the garage out. Everything will be done as of this weekend except for the things in the kitchen and bathroom that we are still using daily. All that stuff will get packed the day the movers are here.
Mom spoke to Grandpa last night. Things are good there. One more day for him to work and he is done. He said he is excited but it is going to feel weird again. Debbie is done in 3 days and Meme has 5 more to go. I will touch base with everyone tomorrow and update you then. My friends brother and sister-in-law are still in critical condition at DHMC. Her brother has had a surgery on his pelvis and is in a lot of pain and her sister-in-law is very tired and sore. The guy who hit them pleaded not guilty in court. He was stated he was driving drunk. He was smiling during th court hearing. That is terrible but I know it happens. When Mom and Grandpa were in ours, the lady that hit us was in the next room laughing and ordering a pizza. Grandpa was being stitched up and Mom was laying on a wooden board for over 12 hours in so much pain. The lady could not have given a sh*t. It’s sad but karma will get her and this guy as well. Mom is still praying for them both. Our cousin’s daughter is still holding her own. She is admitted every other weekend for chemo treatments, etc.... she is a fighter! It runs in the family for sure. She has a long way to go but she is a champ. She is going to school when she can and keeping up with her studies. I pray for her and her family, our family every day as well. I know you are watching over us all the time too. Thank you, pumpkin 🎃
Mom will be lighting your candle in a little bit 🕯. A new one will start tomorrow. I will whisper to you later tonight so smile for me and I will smile back to you! I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. You will always be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. You live in my heart, mind, body and soul. I miss you so much. More than words! I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. Never not feel that deep in your soul my sweet precious son.
Mom is going to get going for now. I am going to go relax before it is time to do the night routine. Have fun tonight while Mom is sleeping. Come visit me in my dreams tonight if you can. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 🖤

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is doing alright but boy am I stressed out to the max! I have been up since 5:30 am because I couldn't sleep. I got out of bed at 6:45 am to feed the pups and then I crawled back in bed for a bit. That didn't last long at all though because I was right back up and didn't even eat anything. I came right into my office and hopped right on the phone. I have been on it ever since too. It is going on 4 pm. That is a very long day on the phones. Mom was so angry though because all the phone calls that I made last week to 24 different companies, giving them our new address was completely wrong. Our physical address is not where we will be getting our mail because mail carriers do not go there so we have to get a PO Box. That is fine so I went on line to get one. Did the application, etc... called them to get the number of our box and they told me that we won't get that until we physically go into the post office there. I called the post office here and they told Mom that I will have to call them 2 days before we leave and put a hold on our mail for going forward until we obtain a new PO Box down there. With that being said, Mom has to call all 24 companies again to change the address back and when we get there, I will have to call them all back for a 3rd time with the new address. I am beside myself right now. My eyes are so tired and I can't even see straight at this point. Mom is going to finish this letter to you and call it a day. I will have time to feed the pups and make dinner. After that I am doing nothing but relaxing on the couch. I don't even want to talk on the phone anymore. Tonight will be an early night because Mom has to be up early to drive Mark to his office in the morning so that he can have a meeting with his boss. This will br fun...NOT! Mom is not allowed in the building so I have to sit in the vehicle for 3 hours. I will be bring my iPad so that I can write to you and a few other things as well. I will keep busy so that will pass the time quickly I am hoping! Anyways... enough of Mom ranting!
Today is September 23rd... It is officially the 1st day of Autumn/Fall. The leaves are changing like crazy already. The last couple of days have been really warm...in the upper 80's. Today it is 88 degrees. The nights are getting cooler and the sun is setting at 7 pm. Not ready for that to happen but oh well. There is nothing that can be done. Mom will enjoy the new season for the next 20 days before moving!
Mark drove for the 1st time today. He has not driven in over 5 weeks. He said it was crappy even though it was only 3 miles down the rode. Mom was surprised at that. He needs to start getting back into a routine and drive a little bit each day. I know he is still sore and in pain but it has to be done. Mom can't keep driving every where all the time. Short distances...no more than 10 minutes or so...nothing more or crazy. I hope things get better for him and soon. He has been in enough pain already! Mom prays for him, our family here, our pets, our friends and the family, pets and friends that are with you every day. It is important to me. I know you are watching over him, Mom and all of us and that gives me a peace of mind as well. Thank you my sweet precious son.
I tried to talk to Grandpa last night but that didn't go so well. I ended up talking to Debbie with Grandpa in the background and then there cordless phone needed to be charged. So that was a bummer. I told him that I would call during the week to chat with him. Meme tried calling this afternoon but I was on one of those calls so I will call her back this evening after dinner. Maybe tomorrow I will have some updates for you but for now I have none.
I did hear from a friend that her brother and his wife were in a car accident yesterday. They are both in critical condition at DHMC. They were on their motorcycle and got hit by a drunk driver. He has been arrested and will appear in court this week. My thoughts and prayers go out to them both. They are sweet folks. I haven't heard any updates yet but my friend will be posting them later I am sure. When Mom hears about things like that it triggers me back to the time when Grandpa and I were in ours. I am sure that the 2 of them have a lot of Angels watching over them plus they have a lot of family and friends here too. Mom wishes them both a speedy recovery.
It is now going on 4:40 pm. I am going to close this letter to you for today so that I can start dinner and get the pups fed. Maybe after I will take a long hot shower. I need to unwind and relax a bit. I will light your candle though and whisper to you later. Smile for me and I will smile to you. I miss you more than words can say 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 live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will be back tomorrow will another letter so until then...have fun tonight while I sleep. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thank you. Good night and sweet dreams.

Here is the prayer for the day:
Therefore it is said, "When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men." Ephesians 4:8, RSV
Our dear Father in heaven, we thank you that you have given us the Lord Jesus on high and that we are allowed to be with him and find joy even while still surrounded by all that must fade and perish. For in Jesus Christ you hold us by the hand through anxiety, need, and death. Grant that he may be with us as we continue our pilgrimage. Grant us your Spirit, for we are poor in spirit and in soul. Give us your Holy Spirit from on high. Just in our weakness we come to know what strength and victory you bring through the Lord Jesus, our Savior. The Lord Jesus is our Savior for body, soul, and spirit for ever and ever. Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday evening? Mom is extremely tired from running around all day Saturday and today. I am sorry that I didn’t write to you yesterday but Mom did a lot of things around the apartment and then made dinner and basically relaxed the rest of the night. Mark and Mom watched tv and then a movie. I thought about you while watching it because it was a new Men In Black. It was pretty good. It didn’t have Will Smith in it but it had the actor who plays Thor. I know you would have enjoyed the movie. Mom misses those times with you. Watching movies or tv, playing games, etc... I cherish all the time we did have though. I just am being selfish and wishing that I had more. I know that is wrong but I think anyone does it from time to time when they loose someone so close to them.
Today, we went out and Mom got her nails done 💅 and after we went shopping 🛍 for a few things. It hit me when we were there that I will only be going to the salon one more time and that is it. My nail tech, Jenny said she was going to miss me so much. I will miss her and all the girls there. Everything is just getting really real now. We have 21 days for the movers to be in NH and 22 days before the movers are here and then we fly out. This is all crazy 😜. Mom is hoping you will be by my side during this time because I am really going to need you, my sweet precious son. Please send me lots of signs to tell me that you are around me. Thank you, pumpkin. These next couple of weeks are going to be crazy and I know it but I know I will be strong through it all.
My friend that is in Australia 🇦🇺 has been taking lots of pictures. She went to the zoo the other day. She posted pictures of koala bears 🐨 and kangaroos. Oh my gosh they are adorable. Remember your Roo that Mom got you when you first got sick? You loved that stuff animal. The beaches there are amazing. The water is so blue. It really is breathtaking. She seems to be having a good time. She is there for another 6 days. Her time is going by fast but I bet she will tell me that she will be going back again real soon. Her dream is to live there! I can’t wait to hear about her trip.
Mom spoke to Meme tonight. She is all set to have her last week of work! She is done as of this week. They are throwing her a party on the 26th. I thought that was really nice. Grandpa has one more day of work left and that is Friday. Debbie has this week as well and she is done on Friday too. On Thursday, our ceiling fans, repairs, and all the furniture that is being donated are being done and taken away on our new home and the following week our pool screens will be put in. We don’t need everything in the new home so Mom and Mark are more than happy to help others in need. That makes my heart sing. I hope it all puts smiles on others faces as well. Mom will chat with Aunt Beck this week at some point. It is going to be busy. Monday and Wednesday, Mark has PT and Tuesday, Mom will be driving Mark to his office to meet his new boss. I will have to sit in the car for a couple hours but that is okay. Mom will be able to write to you, do a few things online that is needed and then I have furniture to shop for. I will keep myself busy during that time so it’s no big deal! Thursday and Friday will be resting days and the weekend will be dedicated to cleaning that dang garage out. By next weekend everything will be done! Along time coming but I am glad to just be able to relax for the next 10 days! Mom will keep you posted!
Your candle is lit already 🕯. A new one will be started for you tomorrow and that will be the last one until we get to the new house. Mom did good. I only packed 4 candles. I had over 30. Goal was met!!!! Mom will whisper to you later tonight so smile for me and I will smile back to you. I miss you so much and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you will live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Right now it is after 7 pm and I need to go join in the Skype call that is taking place with Tubal and Karen. Have fun tonight while Mom is sleeping. Come visit me in my dreams tonight if you can. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 🖤
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday evening? Mom is extremely tired from running around all day Saturday and today. I am sorry that I didn’t write to you yesterday but Mom did a lot of things around the apartment and then made dinner and basically relaxed the rest of the night. Mark and Mom watched tv and then a movie. I thought about you while watching it because it was a new Men In Black. It was pretty good. It didn’t have Will Smith in it but it had the actor who plays Thor. I know you would have enjoyed the movie. Mom misses those times with you. Watching movies or tv, playing games, etc... I cherish all the time we did have though. I just am being selfish and wishing that I had more.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. I won't lie to you though... I am tired as all heck. Another night with what seems to be very little sleep for me. I was awake at 5:45 am and just couldn't fall back to sleep. I laid in bed until 7 am though when everyone else was up. We fed the pups and Mark made his coffee. Mom went back in and lounged in bed for about a couple of hours and then I got up, made something to eat and then came right in and started on all the things I needed to get done today. I was able to get the water, gas, house fees paid for Florida and then I booked the rental car for when we get there, I paid a few more bills and then made 3 phone calls as well. It has been super busy but I think Mom is done now. I think all the paperwork stuff and calls were finished as of this afternoon. Now it is to finish the packing and then I can sit back for the next couple of weeks and just enjoy the days. Maybe I will even have a chance to start on one of the projects for my course. I have not been active in that since Mark got sick back in May. That was almost 5 months ago. My goal when we get down to Florida and the packing and house is all set up is to get cracking on that again. I would like to take the travel agent course as well and get that going and finish it up before the end of the year. Those are my goals for the 1st few months after the move. Mark will be busy with work and I am sure Meme and Bob will be getting their stuff unpacked and settled in. I made a call today about a couple of things and it is surreal to me that in less than a month now, we will no longer be living where we are but we will be in Florida. It is crazy. Mom is doing well with it for the most part but my emotions are starting to get the best of me. I am excited, nervous, scared, guilty and so much more. I seem to be quiet these past few days. Mark said so himself that I am not so talkative. I haven't spoken to Meme in almost a week and Grandpa and I have only spoken once this week as well. I know that everyone is busy but I also think that Meme is still a bit mad at me and she is just wanting her time and space. That is fine with me. Mom has been busy so the night time being quiet and not doing anything has been nice. Mark has been working a lot into the night hours this whole week as well. Monday-Wednesday he worked until 8 pm-9:30 pm after working all day and last night he played his video game. Mom has had some time to herself and all I have done is snuggled on the couch with a blanket and watched my taped shows. I am trying to get rid of them because I will loose whatever I don't watch because we have to give this equipment back. I think I have 10 movies to watch....lol. I will get there. That is what my weekends are made of lately. Mom is packing and getting stuff set and after I watch the movies. We are not going anywhere so that we are not tempted to spend money. We need to save what we can as this whole move is really expensive, not to mention Mark's truck needs to go in the shop and get fixed before we leave. Anyways.....
Mom will touch base with everyone over the weekend. Aunt Beck said that she would call me during the week. I will be sure to have some new updates for you over the weekend. Saturday will be Mark and I going through his office to see what we can pack up and then later in the day the garage will be done. Sunday we will be going out so that I can get my nails done and then do a bit of grocery shopping. Then we will come home and watch football. Then once again it will be Monday and it will be back to bringing Mark to PT, him working, Mom doing what needs to be done and so forth through the week. Mark will be going to meet his new boss on Tuesday. He will be gone for about 3-4 hours. That will be nice for him. It will give Mom some alone time too. I think that is all that will be going on for the weekend ahead and next week. It will be busy. It is also the last full week in September. Grandpa has 2 more shifts and he is fully retired and Debbie has 5 more days. Meme has 7 more days until she does. That is crazy. Last time we spoke about it they all had like 3-4 months! Time is flying by. This is also the last weekend that is considered Summer. Autumn/Fall starts next week. Mom will be changing the pictures up on here again now. October will be Fall/Halloween, November will be cozy pictures/Thanksgiving and December will be all about Christmas/New Years. I have already started gathering the pictures.
Tonight I will whisper to you like I always do. Smile and I will smile back, my sweet precious son. I will light your candle in a bit too. Have fun while I try to get some sleep. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. I miss you like crazy and 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 live in my heart, mind, body and soul. I will be back tomorrow evening with another letter to you. The day time will be busy. Until then....good night and sweet dreams. Mom needs to get going and get the night routine stuff started.

Here is today's prayer:
Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts. They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty – and I will meditate on your wonderful works. Psalm 145:3–5, NIV
Lord God, our Helper, we thank you for walking among us and for letting many experience your protection. Even when we are dying, you protect and help us so that we need not pass into death but may enter into life. So may our hearts be lifted up to you. Grant that the light in us remains undimmed, and that we may come before you in sincerity. Lord God, create good out of evil. Let light dawn in the darkness. Fulfill your promise, for our hearts are not concerned with human desires but with your promise. You will carry it out, and we will be able to say, "Our faith was not in vain, our hope was not in vain. Lord our God, you have blest us a thousandfold." Amen.

Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom has once again been pretty busy all day today. I was up at 6 am and could not fall back to sleep. Mark and the pups were sleeping so I laid in bed and I checked emails and such on my phone. Everyone was awake at 7:15 am so I got up and fed the pups and got coffee for Mark. afterwards, I lounged in bed for a bit and then I got up and did some packing. I was able to clean out the pantry and box a few things up and the I packed 2 more boxes. Pretty much the little stuff is all set except for what we are using daily in the kitchen and bathroom. The rest is stuff that the movers will pack or things we will sell or donate. The garage gets tackled in a couple days and then everything will be finished. All we will have to do is sit and wait for the moving days to come. We are in really good shape here and it makes Mom happy. I wanted to relax for a couple weeks prior to the move and I will be able to do that. After I did that packing, I got ready and then had lunch with Mark. I came into my office and paid the bills, made 5 phone calls and now I am writing to you before it is time to feed the pups their dinner and get dinner for us. Mom is tired so I am glad tonight is leftover night. It will be easy to do and easy clean up as well.
Last night was not much of anything. Lots of calls to Mark for his Birthday. We watched a bit of TV but that was it. We had cake and ice cream but that made Mom sick so the rest of the night was a flop. I went to bed around 10:30 pm. Mark stayed up for a bit. I think tonight he will be playing his game with his brothers and Mom is okay with that. I will soak in a hot bath and then curl up in bed and watch a couple of my shows before going to bed early tonight. I will call everyone tomorrow or over the weekend to catch up on things and Mom will have updates for you then. I have zero for today.
Mom will light your candle in a bit and I will whisper to you later this evening. Smile for Mom when you hear me and I will smile back to you. Mom misses you so much, Tyler. I talk to you and about you all the time and to everyone. You are still my everything. 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 live inside my heart, mind, body and soul.
I know this is a short letter tonight but Mom wanted to write to you instead of skipping a day. I hate it when I do. I will be back tomorrow with another letter. Have fun tonight while Mom is sleeping and if you can, come visit me in my dreams. You know I love it when you do. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams my sweet precious son.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:
You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. Exodus 19:4–6
Lord our God and our Father, we thank you for all the light you let shine on earth to gladden our hearts. Your light shows us how to live in your creation with open eyes and open hearts, accepting in a childlike way all the good gifts from your hand. How much good you send to many sorrowful hearts, and how much strengthening to those in weakness, poverty, and sickness! Grant that we may recognize what comes from you, that we are not cast down in spirit but mount up again and again on wings like eagles. May we learn to say at all times, "Through how much need has not our merciful God spread out his wings to protect us!" Amen.
