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.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday evening? Today is day 2 of the new year. Things were good for Mark & I today. We actually did a lot & accomplished quite a bit. We got to have lunch with Meme & Bob, did some emails that were needed, & phone calls that had to be done. It actually felt good to do all this. We are starting to get things going for the next phases of this trip we are still on! I know you are continuously with us & I am so happy & blessed to have this.
The weather has been good...cold, but no snow until today. There were some snow showers that were pretty bad this morning. Several accidents & a huge 50 -100 car pile up on the interstate here in Vermont. That was awful. Guess the weather is suppose to be bad this whole weekend. Not looking forward to that but it will be nice to maybe have a very much needed " down days." Do you remember those really cold, bad Northeastern storms? I bet you do! I remember that you used to hate that weather, but we always made the most of it... hot homemade meals, cozing up in warm blankets, & watching tv when I wasn't outside shoveling the snow. Oh, how I miss those times with you. The quality time we spent together. The laughing, the cooking, the everything we did days. I miss you so much. I wanted to come visit you but I didn't get that chance. I hope you forgive me pumpkin. I have to run errands tomorrow morning before this crappy weather starts so I will come see you while I am out. I promise you this. I can't wait to get your stone & your bench. I know you will like it so much. You deserve the best & that is what you are going to get! I won't settle for less than that!
Here is the daily prayer for today~ January 2~ The Father himself loves you. God, they say all you need is love, & that is true. Your loving care has gotten me through so many humps & bumps, & you continue to be there for me at each & every turn on the road to life. My heart shines with the love that never ceases----the love of you, my God, who always watches over me & makes clear my way. You take away my burdens & lighten my load, & your love smooths the path you have set out for me. Thank you, God. God's love brightens & beautifies even the darkest days. You have gotten me through so many bad ordeals in my life in the last several years. I am so thankful for all the love & the blessings that you & the Angels have given me. I am in awe of everything that you do for me & I am so thankful. I take nothing for granted & you know that. I never will. I want to do the work that you want me to do here. I want to be happy, give hope to others & help wherever I can. Please continue to let me do this for all. I love you, Lord. Amen.
I will be walking Snicks pretty soon for the last time tonight. I will be looking to the sky & hopes to see the moon & stars shining brightly. I will whisper to you whether I see them or not. I know you are out there somewhere. I hope you still watch over us all. Thank you for everything Tyler. You still amaze Mom even if I can't see you anymore. I know you are doing wonderful things. May you have a restful & wonderful evening. Sweet dreams my sweet precious son. I hope to see you in my dreams tonight. Remember you are forever in my heart, mind, & soul. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! Happy New Year... it is 2015! I know you don't have any concept of time up there in Heaven but I know that you were celebrating with us last night. Mark & I didn't really do too much. Stopped by to see Marion, Charlie, & the kids really quickly. Then we came back to the hotel to just relax & ring in the new year by watching the ball drop in Times Square. Mark was asleep at like 12:02 am. Oh well.. we have been really busy the last 2 1/2 weeks. We need some down time. We have so much more things to do but we can take 1 day at time for them. I know that you are watching over us so we are in the best of hands! Thank you so much.
Went & saw Grandpa & Debbie for a couple hours today. Debbie is doing really good from her surgery. Doesn't even look like she went through anything 3 days ago! What a trooper!!! Going to see Meme & Bob tomorrow for a bit. Trying to spend as much time as we can with family & friends while we are still in the area. Boy... it is tough but I will do it!
I have missed everyone so much. I miss you so much more though. I will be stopping by to see you tomorrow. I want to go all the time but I have to tell you that it is really hard for Mom to go to the cemetery. You know how much I hate them anyways. I know it is your resting place but I know you are not there. You are everywhere & I know you are with me & everywhere else too. I hope you understand my thought process on this subject. I think you do & I think you approve.
Today is the 1st day of January. A new year... a new beginning for us all. I hope that this year brings Mom & everyone I care about good health, happiness, & love. I always take the time to reflect on the year that is ending & look to & wonder what is in store for the coming year! I have always said it is the time to put everything in the past & keep it there. Every year is a fresh start.
Here is the daily prayer for you on New Year's Day.. January 1~ " The Spirit of the Lord is upon me," Jesus proclaimed. "....to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." Lord , how inadequate for us to set aside one day in the year on which we are officially thankful. Every breath we take, every task we undertake, every life we touch----every part of every day we live should be offered up to you in gratitude! So, Lord, this coming year let me truly enter into your gates with praise & thanksgiving. Your favor is truly upon us because your Spirit dwells within us. This day is a beginning of a new year, so help us begin this year with joy & celebration for having been redeemed in Christ. Amen. I am thankful for everything in my life regardless if it big or small. I thank you God for giving me all that I have in my life. I am thankful each & every day for all my blessings. Thank you. Thank you Thank you. Amen!
The sky has been amazing the past few nights. It has been so dark & the moon & stars have been shining so bright. I have had a smile on my face every time I see them all. Thank you for that, Ty! I hope that tonight is no different. I will whisper to you as I always do. Hope you will be hearing & listening for Mom's voice. May you have a wonderful night. May it bring you peace & rest. Hope you have sweet dreams my sweet precious son. You are forever in my heart, mind, & soul.
