Dear Tyler,

Hi sweetheart. How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? I hope that you are doing so good and you are so happy! Mom is doing well. So far busy day for me. Did more house cleaning, vacuuming, sweeping, mopping, and laundry is done so I just need to fold the clothes and put them away. I also went through some of my clothes and got rid of things that I don't ever wear anymore. I will find a bin and donate it. I just need to go through my shoes now.. oh yeah.. you will be happy to know that I am down to maybe 150 pairs. I got rid of several before moving to Oklahoma and also when our stuff arrived in Texas. I have mostly flip flops now and a few pairs of dress boots. You would be so proud of me. I know you are laughing though and smiling!!!!
 As you already know.. we had a big scare this morning with Bob. Meme called me to let me know that Bob drove himself to the hospital because the pain in his stomach was getting to the point where he couldn't take it any longer. The doctors did a lot of blood work and x rays plus had him drink a couple shakes to do a upper and lower GI tests on him. That was around 11 am or so. Meme just called me around 4 pm to tell me that Bob was heading home to rest and that he ended up with a very distended bladder. Don't know the cause of it but it was the size of a football. He is on some medicine so hopefully that will help him. This is what has been causing all his stomach pain and where he hasn't been able to eat lately. I hope this works for him. He has definitely been put though hell this past year. It is time for him to get healthy and back on track and do things he wants to do and be happy again. I know that you were there with him at the hospital. I know you wouldn't have him go through that all alone. Thank you pumpkin. You are my Hero!!!! You always have been and always will be!!!!
 Oh, I wanted you to know that I got a huge surprise last night that made me smile... when I put the pups out the stars were out and shining above. I saw 1 bright star and I know it was you telling me that you were up in Heaven and that you are doing well. You always are facing our building so I know you are watching over us at all times. Thank you so much for that surprise. I was not expecting that due to the cloudy day but boy was I ever so happy to see them!!!
 The weather is so cold here today. A big 30 degrees outside with heavy winds. It is so crazy. This weekend is suppose to be 75 degrees. How weird is that??? The pups don't even want to go out. Mark is under the weather today. He just isn't feeling well. Could you please watch over him and take care of him. I am doing all that I can on my end. It is the least I can do seeings how he takes care of me when I am sick. Thank Tyler.
 I am hoping that the clouds part tonight so that I can see you shining brightly again this evening. If not you know that I will whisper to you as I always do. Be listening for Mom. I miss you so much and I love you beyond any words could ever say. Have a great evening. I hope it is peaceful for you. Sweet dreams my precious son. Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

PS. Tell Amy that I was thinking of her last night. I made Mark Snickerdoodle cookies...her favorite. I remember always buying her them when we worked together :)
