Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this early Wednesday morning? I am up extremely early due to Mark feeling somewhat better & he went to the office today. The pups were raring to go per usual....well Ozzy was at least. Princess just wanted to be left alone. I am taking the time to write to you now because it is quiet & both pups are sleeping. I need to take the time now because they really keep me busy & I don't know if  & when I might get another chance to write to you. I even had a minute to have a little breakfast... I never do that! I guess I am getting into being up early & going to bed early in the night instead of staying in bed until noon time & going to bed at midnight. I think this helps Mark too. He really needs his sleep as he is the one that travels & works outside of the house. At least I hope it does help him out. Today, is the 1st full day that I have been home with the pups alone. Boy.. Mom knows now what it is like for Mom's to have twins & care for them. I know that Ozzy will get better in the next couple weeks but I must say I really am feeling my age. I don't think I knew what we were doing with getting 2 dogs but with that said I am not happy that Mark & Mom were lied to about Princess. Who knew & who knows what she had for a life before us but we know for sure she was abused. It is so sad. She definitely is a challenge but we need to just reassure her that she is not going to be hurt & she is a good girl. Anything magic that you can help Mom & Mark out with would be great. Anyways....
 Happy April 1st to you... Happy April Fools Day to you in heaven. Like I said yesterday this was another one of your favorites as you would like to play several jokes throughout the day on all of us. I am sure you are playing some jokes on someone wherever you are. Have fun but be nice = ] 
 On a more serious note... Meme & Bob need your help. Bob got denied again for disability. I don't see how that happened because Bob can not work but they are saying he can. It is so stressful for them both. Meme wanted to retire & can't unless he gets approved. I feel so bad for them. Can you please help Meme & Bob out? Anything you can do to help will be appreciated. I just want to see them both as happy as they can. 
 Grandpa & Debbie are doing well. Grandpa isn't working as many hours as he was so he can relax & Debbie likes her new job. I am happy for them. Aunt Becky is doing well & so is John & Brandy! Ryan is out of the hospital & has to go back for more testing in a month or so. Guess he has more ulcers. I know you will be with him too. I will keep you posted but I don't really think you need it as I am sure you know before I do! 
 I miss you so much Tyler. I know you are with me every day & take care of Mom as much as you can. Thank you so much. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. I will whisper to you tonight whether I see the moon & stars when the evening sky is upon us. I know you are always shining bright for Mom & all of us. I hope that you have a restful & peaceful night. May it be all that you want & need it to be. May you have the sweetest dreams ever & may Mom see you in my own dreams tonight. 
 You are forever in my heart, mind, & soul. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah! 

P.S. A saying & prayer that I really love : I have never had much money, but I have always had enough for my needs. God decided to bless me in other ways: a family that loves me, friends that walk with me, eyes that see the beauty around me, ears that know the simple pleasure that a song brings, & a heart that feels the worth in all these things. I know now that I am in fact richer than I ever believed. 
 I am richer in my life because you chose me to be your Mom & live this life together in this world. You were & still are my entire world. You are still my whole life. I love you unconditionally, Tyler. I always will.
