Dear Tyler,

Hello pumpkin! How are you doing tonight? I hope all is well with you and you are the happiest that you have ever been! Mom is doing much better today. The last couple days I have a little bit of a stomach bug. It was kind of harsh but all is ok now. Getting ready for the weekend to start. Tomorrow is Saturday an we have 2 little girls coming over to dog sit for us. We needed to do something because our neighbor upstairs kept complaining that Max was always barking when we left so we needed to get creative. The girls are 8 & 10 years old. Their Mom says no to a puppy right now so this is the best that they can get at this time. They need to prove to their Mom that they can care for a pet before they can get their own. I think it is a great idea not to mention it is helping us out too. I just hope that Max & Snickers are good and don't act up for them. Sunday will be a haircut for Mom and then watching football. Yup that is right... Cowboys are playing! I am hoping that they win. I know you love it when they loose. You used to rub it in my face when they lost...lol! I miss those times when we would pick on one another. The innocent picking. The smiling and laughing we would do after was so awesome. I remember those times in my head now and know that those are just more memories I have to cherish. Thank you for so many fun times. The days we would play games, watch movies, take walks, or simply just talk. We had so many times we would just laugh and other times we would cry. We had many times that we didn't have to say anything at all to one another.... we just knew what the other was thinking or feeling. I sure miss all those times. I am so grateful that I had all the years I did with you. I am so grateful that I got to see you grow from a baby to a grown young man. I hope you know just how much I love you and what you still mean to me. You forever will be the only one to always have my heart. I love you with everything I have. That will never change. 
 I hope that you have a peaceful and quiet night. May you have sweet dreams my precious son. Continue to watch over me and everyone else. Love you. Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
