Dear Tyler,
Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is doing okay. I was up early this morning. I actually was doing laundry at 8 am. I got it done before I needed to head out to my nail appointment. Mom returned home around 3:30 pm. I was out for quite awhile today. The weather is so stinking cold. I guess the weather for the next 3 days is not going to be very good at all. Mom was watching it while at the nail salon. They said that we are in a winter advisory from today until Friday night. Thursday by noon it will be snowing & the winds will be 35-40 mph with gusts up to 50 mph all day & all night into Friday as well. The temps will be -7 degrees without the wind. Mom is hoping & praying that the wind is not that high. It will be so cold. We can not afford to lose our power. Please please please do everything you can to help Mom, Mark & the pups out. We are going to need it. Thank you so much my sweet precious son. Mom misses you so much. I looked at the clock right at 12:12 pm when I was out. I smile & whispered to you so I hope you heard Mom. I will whisper to you again later this evening when Mom is relaxing & watching TV. Hope that your evening will be filled with everything you need & would like it to be. Come be with Mom tonight if you can. Thanks! Have some fun too.
There is nothing to update you on at all today as I did not talk to anyone on the phone for family. I did get to chat briefly with Uncle Chris. He is doing well. Working a lot. I didn't get to see him when we were there but I will make sure to see him the next time we are up that way. I sure do miss him. We have been friends for almost 30 years. Mom is trying to make some changes in her life as the new year is here. I am taking more time for myself & doing things that I want to do. I want to make more time to paint. Something inside me is telling me to do that so I am going to listen. I want to be there for family & friends as I always am but I am not going to have my friends take advantage of me anymore. The road, phone, etc... works both ways. I refuse to be the only one who tries. I will not feel guilty for anything anymore or have people make me feel that way as I have done in the past. I can't do that anymore. I will not let drama in my life either. I don't need that toxin or poison. I want that vanilla lifestyle. I know you want that for Mom too. I think you will be happy with my choices. I know some won't be happy but that is okay as well. People change & I now realize that. I think I figured that out over the weekend. It was a sad realization but one that was needed. Mom will continue to tell you of more changes that I will make as the days & months move forward. I will touch base with everyone either tonight or tomorrow while Mark is at his office. I will give you those updates as soon as I have them as well. Here is the saying for the day:
" ..... and suddenly you know it's time for new beginnings. Let go of the old & make room for the new. "
That is the prefect quote for the new year! As Mom said yesterday... New Years is a time for a new start, a new beginning. Leave the past in the past & never look back. Put one foot in front of the other! That is my motto for 2018!
Mom needs to get going for the night. I got a very late start today because I went out. It is 5 pm almost & I need to start the evening routine for us all here. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Mom loves you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Forever you will live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. You are my shining star, my hero & the wind beneath my winds. The sunset was pretty tonight. Lots of pinks with light blue & purple. Thanks for the painting in the sky. It made me smile! Good night & sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
P.S. Here is the prayer:
May you dare to believe that God is moving in your life because He is. He makes all things new. And He intends to dismantle the schemes of the enemy. Will you trust Him? May your next steps be faith-steps and your next words, faith-words. May you embrace a joyful heart, not because of what your eyes see, but because of what your heart knows: God is good, He is for you, and He will not fail you. Have a blessed day.

Monday, January 1, 2018
Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday evening? Happy New Year in heaven. It is officially 2018! What a cold day it was as well. The sun was out but boy was it so cold! Last night on New Years Eve was fun for us. We had friends over. We ate, watched the ball drop, toasted in the New Year & was in bed by 1 am! We were up early this morning because of the pups but that is okay. We will be going to bed early tonight to get some rest as the mini vacation is over & it is back to work for Mark & studying for Mom as well. Tonight, the moon is so bright & big. We ring in the new year with a super moon! It is beautiful. It sure made Mom smile! I can only imagine what it looks like to you. It must be pretty dang amazing!
Mom was able to chat with Meme today & wish her a Happy New Year. She was telling me that Bob's friend, their neighbor was rushed to the hospital yesterday. He had a heart attack & had to have 3 stints put in & also there is something wrong with the major arteries in his heart, He will be in the hospital for a few days & now he has the flu on top of it. Bob is really taken it hard. I sure hope that Roland is doing well & he gets to come home soon. On facebook, Mom is friends with a lady named Joi. She adopted a sweet little dog that needed a home due to her previous owners abusing this 2 lb baby girl. She is the cutest little thing. She has been having some problems with one of her tiny little legs for the past 2 years & it has come down to where she has to have her leg amputated on Wednesday. I sure hope she does well through the surgery & that by having this done she will get some quality of life back. It breaks Mom's heart to see this. Another friend of Moms... her son is getting worse I am afraid. He is the one I have spoken about to you on here. The one who has cancer, had the knee replacement then ended up having it amputated & they thought the nightmare was over but they found out that the cancer spread to his lungs. The doctors gave him a few months & that was almost 4 months ago. Her Mom was saying that things are really starting to go " downhill " now. My heart breaks for her as well. She is starting to shut down & shut everyone out of her life. That is not good & Mom is worried. I have tried to reach out to her several times but nothing in return. I will be there for her but I will not push her. She knows & that is all that matters. her son, Eli is such a great boy. Another one that doesn't deserve what is happening to him. I sure hope that you will be there when it is his time to cross over. Help him through the transition, please. Thank you my sweet precious son. So many things are starting off on the wrong foot & it is only day 1 of 2018. mom sure is praying for all. I am hoping that the new year will bring a new beginning for everyone. May all be happy & healthy. That is Mom's wish for Mark, myself, our family, friends & even people that I do not even know. Mom will be calling Grandpa in a few minutes to say hello so I will update you on that tomorrow. I will touch base with Aunt Beck as well. No new news with Karen's mom as of right now either. Fingers are crossed for all. Mom is hoping that tonight you will have a peaceful evening doing all kinds of things that you may want to do or may need to do. Come visit me in my dreams or sit with me as I sleep tonight. Thank you. I love you more than all the stars in the sky. All the way around the world. To the moon & back. You are missed beyond anything that I can ever express to you. Forever you will live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Tyler, you are my shining star, my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Nothing will ever change that.
Here is the prayers for the day:
New Year Prayer: Thank you Lord for giving me the brand new year ahead. Help me live the way I should as each new day I tread. Give me gentle wisdom that I might help a friend, give me strength & courage so a shoulder I can lend. The year ahead is empty, help me fill it with good things. Each new day filled with joy & happiness it brings. Amen.
May God give you glimpses of the new beginnings He has for you. May you stay in step with Him and trust Him wholeheartedly in the meantime. May you embrace a contented and joyful heart in the place He has you now. May you faithfully steward your current assignment, as you trust Him to prepare you for your next place of promise. May you see all of the blessings that are yours because you belong to Him. God is with you and He cannot, will not fail you. Sing for joy today and trust Him fully with your tomorrows.

You go before me and follow me.You place your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand (Psalm 139:5-6 NLT)!
Here is a saying for the day as well:
Best wishes for a New Year filled with hope, new friendships & loving memories!
Our attitude is like a magnificent paint brush that allows us to paint our lives any color we want!
Today is the first blank page of a 365 page book. Write a good one! Happy 2018!
For last year's words belong to last year's language & next year's words await another voice. And to make an end is to make a beginning.
Mom is going to sign off here for the night & go call Grandpa & then relax for a bit. Mom is also doing laundry & it is only 7:20 pm but it feels like it is midnight. I will be back with another letter to you tomorrow so until then.... good night & sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
