Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday morning? Mom is really sorry that I have not written to you in a couple days but as you can see, things aren’t the greatest around here right now. Monday was a good day. I got up and packed the rest of my office, the living room and the dining room. I worked on this for 4 hours and after that I could barely move because my back hurt so bad. I was able to make dinner and do the dishes but that was about it. The rest of the evening all I did was sit with a warm pillow on my back and watched tv. I felt okay yesterday but then I decided to pack some more which was a mistake on my part. I stopped after a bit because I was hurting again. I took a long hot shower but that really didn’t do anything. I did manage to do a bit of house cleaning
as well but then needed to sit down. Mark got home later than normal. He was a guy of no words. Not sure why but he didn’t talk to Mom at all last night. He came in, got on his computer, ate dinner in his office and then stayed there all night long. Mom was upset so I shut everything down in the living room and decided to watch tv in bed. He was on his computer talking and playing his game so I shut the doors so I could hear tv and not him. I went to bed at 10 pm but couldn’t sleep because his light was on. He never went to bed until 1 am this morning. He said nothing at all to Mom. He got ready and out the door he went. I heard him leave so I got up but he was already driving away. Not sure what his problem is but I am dang sure that I will be the blame of it as I always am. I can guarantee that tonight will be a repeat of last night where he won’t say anything to me at all. I won’t say anything either as I have nothing to really say as I didn’t do anything wrong. I don’t deserve to be treated the way that I am. He really needs to start treating me better and treat his coworkers the way he does me. He is still traveling daily to that same customer site that he has been for the last 4 weeks. It is taking a toll on him and has been but he still refuses to say anything. Instead he takes it out on me. It is not fair at all. Mom sometimes wonders why I put up with it at all. I have been wondering if this whole house thing is the right decision. I guess you can say that Mom is really doing a lot of thinking lately and second guessing everything right now. Mom has stayed off her computer for the last few days and today won’t be any different. I plan on working on my studies and then watching tv later this evening. Like I said it will be quiet. I might take a nice warm bath but not sure. I can’t do any packing of any sort as I am out of  bubble wrap and packing tape plus there is only 1 box left. Looks like I know what I am doing this weekend. I overheard Mark say that he is at this customer site until the end of the month. That will be a total of 9 weeks that he will have gone there. Not cool but I am staying out of it. I am saying nothing. Anyways....
 Mom has spoken to Meme and Grandpa one time since Sunday. Guess everyone is stressing out right about now. Well Grandpa isn’t.  Aunt Beck sent me a couple pictures of a church that our family in Italy go too. It is pretty. She said she is having a grand time. She leaves on Friday I believe or maybe it is Saturday. Those 2 weeks went fast. She is working in Claremont next week so I will chat with her when she gets home.  Still never heard from Bean at all. She claims to Aunt Beck she never got any of my messages or voicemails. I have the right number because Aunt Beck confirmed it. Oh well. I ask about her all the time. I guess she is doing well. Aunt Shirley is still not able to see. The surgery was not a success for her. She is almost completely blind now. It is sad and she is having a really hard time with it. I pray for her and everyone daily. I know you watch over her along with all of us. Thank you my sweet precious son. Today is August 14th. At 1:09 am 1 year ago Great Grammy crossed over to be with you. I can’t believe it has been a year already. I know you all are together and at peace  with everything so that is what keeps me going. I miss her, I miss everyone so much and I sure do especially miss you so much. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. You will forever live in my heart, mind, body and soul. Thank you for the beautiful painting in the sky last night. It was beautiful and Mom needed it after the night I had. I smiled and whispered to you. I hope you smiled when you heard my voice. I will whisper to you later tonight as well. Mom will light your candle 🕯 later this afternoon. It will burn bright for you, for Great Grammy and all our family and friends that are with you now.
 Mom needs to get ready now that it is after 11:20 am. I need to do a few things and then track down a missing package from the mail carrier plus the realtor just called with a concern. Guess it will be a busy afternoon for Mom. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Have fun tonight while Mom gets some much needed sleep. Come visit me in my dreams tonight if you can. Thanks pumpkin. Until tomorrow comes.... good night and sweet dreams later tonight. I love you with all my heart and soul.... unconditionally.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 🖤

Mom will do the daily prayer for you tomorrow as I can’t when I am on my iPad 😞
