Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Saturday night? Mom is doing okay today. Been up since early this morning with the pups and then went back to bed for a bit. I did not fall back to sleep but I did stay awake. Mom and Mark have been out for most of the afternoon and early evening. I am pretty tired right now. The stores were all jam packed today. It was crazy. The lines were really long too. If this is what it is going to be like during the holiday season and I know it will only get worse because it always does, Mom is not going to go to them until after the holiday season. I will do my shopping line...lol!
 I wanted to let you know that I am not n my computer in my office. I am using my iPad so I won’t be able to post any pictures tonight but I will be back on that computer tomorrow so I will post them then. Sorry but Mom did not feel like turning it on. I am sitting on the couch relaxing with my feet up. It is already 6:45 pm. Dinner has been made, we ate, and dishes done plus pups were fed earlier. Now the rest of the night will be relaxing because even though we are staying home tomorrow, we have a very busy day planned. It will start with breakfast, doing the dishes, decorating for Christmas early, vacuuming after and then dusting, Mom promised to make cuppy cakes for Mark and then it will be prep for dinner, doing those dishes, a Skype call and then Mom can relax around 8 pm...lol! It will be a fun day for sure though. We decided to decorate early just Incase the weather is good and we decide to go up North for Thanksgiving. That way if we do then we won’t be rushing home and then decorating. Mom will just want to relax! Mm will take pictures of it all tomorrow and post them on here for you! 
  Last night, Mom spoke to Grandpa. I called to tell him about Chris’ passing on Thursday. He couldn’t believe it. He was stunned just like us all. We chatted for a bit and then Mark and Mom relaxed the rest of the evening by watching a couple movies and then going to bed around 11pm. It was a nice night. Mom will call Meme tomorrow to check n and then rest of our family on Thursday. It is hard to believe that this coming week is Thanksgiving but I sure will welcome a 3 day week for both Mark and I. That will be nice. We will go shopping on Friday and get a lot of our shopping done so we can sit back and relax the rest of December when everyone is going crazy...lol! Not much else to update you on tonight. Things are very quiet here. Mom misses you so much though. I definitely will be whispering to you tomorrow when we are decorating. Mom still puts up all your favorite decorations so I hope they make you smile when you see them. Mom loves you with all her heart and soul. To the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my superhero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you will live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will be back tomorrow at some point to write to you again. I will whisper to you later tonight so smile for me and I will smile back to you. Mom is going to relax now so until tomorrow comes my sweet precious son.... good night and sweet dreams. Have fun while I get some sleep tonight. Come visit me if you can. I love you my bright shining star.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah ❤️
