Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son. How are you doing on this Saturday night? Mom hopes that you are spending your days where it is sunny & warm & no where near where we are...lol. Today, the weather was sunny but boy was it freaking cold, the wind was whipping & just awful. mark & mom went out to do shopping & Mark got a hair cut. Next week I will be going to get my nails done. Haven't done that for over 1 year now. It will be nice as pretty soon I will be going for interviews & looking for work. Mom wants to look professional.
Tonight, we will be in & relaxing while trying to stay warm. Meme called today. She is doing well. She is having her car worked on as she has no heat in it. The dealership is coming to her & bringing a rental car for her this week as temps there will be dropping to 2 degrees at night. Not ready for this cold weather but it however is winter & it will get worse before better. Mark is on the phone right now with Grandpa. Sounds like they are having a good conversation so that is good. Things there are well for them too. Grandpa went for a position for the Police Commissioner. I really hope he gets it because he really wants it. I will be sad for him if he doesn't. he will be bummed too. Anything you can do for him would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ty. Not much else is going on. Next week Mom will be getting her Massachusetts license. Kinda sad to surrender my Texas license but there is nothing I can do. Maybe someday Mom will go back to Texas or somewhere down South.
The evening sky is upon us now. In the next coming weeks the days will start to get longer again so that will be nice. No more having lights on at 3 pm. It is crazy! Mom is hoping that we will be seeing the stars & moon shining bright tonight. No matter what, Mom will be whispering to you as I always do. Hope you will be hearing my voice. I miss you so much my sweet precious son. I love you like crazy. Unconditionally...to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Never forget this.
Here is the daily prayer for today. January 2~ Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. The past, O God of yesterdays, todays, & promise-filled tomorrows, can be an anchor or a launching pad. It's sometimes easy to look back on the pain & hurt & believe the future may be an instant replay. Help us to accept the aches of the past & put them in perspective, so we can also see the many ways you supported & nurtured us. Then, believing in your promise of regeneration, let us meet the future free & excited to live in joy. Amen.
Mom is hoping that your night is filled with peace & love. Hope you can have the chance to get some rest & if so I hope you have the sweetest of dreams. Come see me in my dreams tonight. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
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. Happy New Year to you in the Heavens above. It is officially 2016. Another new year & a new beginning for us all. Leave the past in past & move forward. I am not sure if you celebrate it or not where you are as there is no concept of time there but I still wanted to wish you one anyways. Today has been a pretty mellow day for us here. Got a few things done that we were putting off for days, took the pups for a small walk as it was really too cold for them & the rest of the day has been just relaxing & really doing nothing. Tonight we will have dinner & probably just watch a little tv & then go to bed. The left side of my face is really hurting again. I have been using my heating pillow & that is helping but boy do I need Aunt Beck's help again. Anything that you can do for Mom as well would be great for me. Thanks pumpkin.
All the decorations are put away for another year. The apartment is cleaned & back to normal yet again. I love the holiday season but it is nice to just go back to the regular months with no decorations. Mom used to decorate like crazy for you as you used to love it but not anymore. Can't seem to do it. It really just hurts so much. Mom tries on a daily basis but sometimes I think that I am not doing a good enough job. More times I feel that I am going backwards instead of forward. I need your help, I need signs from you. I am not sure if you are giving them to me & I am just not seeing them or if it is something else. I want to be more aware of you being around Mom. Please help me with this. Thank you.
This coming week I believe that I will be getting the stuff together & will be studying my butt off for this certification test, taking the test & hopefully passing it & then being on the look out for employment. I know that you will be with Mom every step of the way as I know you want me to do well & succeed. Mom won't have much time to do anything else though, just my letter to you & relax for a couple hours during the night. Back to the grind but it will be good & i look forward to it!
here is the daily prayer for January 1~ It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The calendar is as bare as the Christmas tree. The page of tomorrow is clean & ready. may God bless the new Year that beckons. may we face what we must, celebrate every triumph we can, & make the changes we need. And now let us celebrate to the fullest this whistle-blowing, toast-raising moment, for it is the threshold between the old & new us. Amen.
There is a quote that is going around social media for a couple days now... it says " Tomorrow is the is the first blank page of a 366 page book. Write a good one. " It is 366 because this is a leap year. How cool is that! I do love the saying though. It is true. Life is what we make it & what we say, how we live. Good one to live by.
Mom only has a couple updates for you today. Meme called. Her & Bob are well. Didn't ring in the new year as they never do... they went to bed early...lol. Your dad texted me last night. It really surprised me as I have not heard from him in months. Guess he is doing good. He is in Oklahoma right now for work. Has been there for 5 months now. In a couple weeks he is headed to Minnesota. Guess he is not home with Amy or the kids very much but that is the work he choose. I am sure you are watching over him. Thats all I have for today.
The evening sky is now upon us & the sky is cloudy. Mom will look later tonight to see if I can see any stars or the moon shining. I will whisper to you as I always do. Hope you hear Mom. Hope your night is all that you need & want. May it be peaceful & restful for you. If you sleep mom hopes that you have sweet dreams. Come see me in mine tonight when I fall asleep. I miss you so much Ty. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world.
You are forever in my heart, mind & soul.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
PS. Remember Mike Marsh... the one that Mom dated years ago? I am sure you do..well today is his Birthday along with an old respiratory therapist that you used to love at DHMC...Angie. Hope you go & wish them a good day. Just be nice & no scaring them. Love you xoxoxo.
