Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Friday late afternoon? Mom is dang tired! Mark & Mom left the hotel this morning around 9:30 am & we ran into so much traffic that it took us almost 4 hours to get back. All was OK though. We did great on the ride home. It rained a bit but when we got closer the sun was actually out & it was warm. Now it is back to being cloudy & raining but that is OK because Saturday & Sunday it is suppose to be nice & sunny. In the low 70's....perfect for the holiday weekend. It is a 3 day Memorial weekend for all & Mom  is just looking forward to relaxing. mark has a friend coming over Saturday into Sunday & Sunday afternoon Uncle Chris may be stopping by but Monday will be a " do nothing " day for us. 
 Since Mom has been home I have been straight out busy. The maintenance guy was working when we arrived so for the 1st 30 minutes or so we couldn't do anything as Mom needed to tend to the pups so they would leave him alone. Once that was settled Mom put everything away & started doing the laundry, gave both pups baths, folded the 1st load of laundry & then started on the 2nd load. Mom put all the clean clothes away & started putting the bench that I ordered together. Got that all finished & moved some things around again in my office & then made an early dinner as both Mark & Mom were hungry. Just finished eating & doing all the dishes plus fed the pups so now all the night routine is finished & it is just turning 5 pm. Mom will finish your letter & then I am going to enjoy relaxing for a bit while watching a couple of my shows & then it will be early to bed as I did not sleep well last night again. 
 Mom spoke to Grandpa & Debbie last night over the phone & Meme & Bob stopped by to see us before we headed out. Mom was suppose to hang out with Uncle Chris for a bit last night & that did not happen as Mom fell asleep so early & then woke up about 1 am. I hurt Uncle Chris' feelings & that made Mom so upset. We have since talked on the phone & cleared the air so everything is good with us again. Mom hates to upset anyone. I would never intentionally hurt anyone on purpose either. That is just not me & how I am. It is not my style. Mom has been hurt quite a bit in the last few weeks & slowly I am getting over it. I can't change anyone & I wouldn't want to as they are themselves for a reason but I can remember what they did & not let them ever do it again to me. Mom is tired of being hurt & stepped on....used & abused by people who I thought were my true friends. Not no more though, Ty.... can't do it anymore. I know you know what I am talking about & I know you see how upset Mom gets but again just know that Mom will be just fine. I know you will be with me every step of the way & I thank you for that. I thank you for helping me grow & learn. It means so much to me my sweet precious son. 
 That is all the updates Mom has for you at this time but here is your daily prayer for the day: Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need & thank him for all that he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts & minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Amen. Here is an Inspirational quote for the day: It is not fancy hair; gold jewelry or fine clothes that should make you beautiful. No, your beauty should come from within you----the beauty of a gentle & quiet spirit that will never be destroyed & is very precious to God. Amen. 
 Well, Mom is going to take the time now & go relax for a bit. I have a couple hours left before I will be falling asleep. My eyes are pretty heavy right now...lol. Come visit Mom in my dreams tonight if you can. Thanks Ty! Hope your night is all you need & want it to be. Have fun too. Remember you are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You are in my heart, mind, body & soul. I will whisper to you later so be listening for my voice. I will smile & hope you will too. I miss you like crazy & love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter so until then....good night & sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
