Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Sunday evening. Mom is sorry that I didn’t write to you yesterday but it was a day that I didn’t go on my computer at all. Mark and Mom got up early with having all intentions of  going out and running errands but after seeing the weather we decided against it and did a few things around the apartment. We managed to pack up our closet too. Mom did laundry and a few extra things during the day as well while Mark was on the phone with his brothers. Late on, Mom made dinner and did the clean up and then relaxed on the couch the rest of the night. I did have the chance to chat with Meme and Grandpa. Debbie took Grandpa out to lunch because tomorrow is his birthday. He worked today so mom is going to call him in a little bit. I hope you send him a sign tomorrow to let him know you are near him. He misses you, we all do my sweet precious son.
 Well, tomorrow is the long awaited day that has been coming for the last 4 months of this whole buying a house ordeal. In the morning we will be receiving an email or phone call as to where we need to be to sign the papers. It will officially be our home at that point. It’s been super stressful these past 4 months but I do believe that everything worked out the way it was suppose to. We are all starting to have mixed emotions. Meme said that she had a meltdown this afternoon. It all kind of hit her that she was leaving the only place that she has called home in the last 22 years. Mom would be lying if I said that I wasn’t emotional as well. I don’t know many people here so that won’t be the hard part. I think it will be leaving behind all the people that are still my friends. I don’t really know how often I will ever see them again. We all say that we will travel back up for a visit and they will travel down to see us but Mom knows that is not the case. I know that life is busy and when you move you are out of site out of mind. I just hope that when and if I cross their mind, they smile when they think of me. Mom has had no emotional attachment to this place at all. I won’t miss the winter months but I will miss the Fall. I am sure that once we are settled in our new home that it will really feel like living in Texas again. I look forward to the walks with the pups, the little stairs to climb, swimming in the pool daily. I can’t wait for Grandpa and Debbie to join us all. I hope that those 5 months go quickly. Mom wishes that they were moving with us now but I understand the reason why they are not right off. I will miss them so much. Mark and Mom plan to take a day trip to see them in a couple weeks before we move. I want to come spend some time with you at your resting place as well. I will let you know when that will be. As far as any updates for you, Mom really has none.
 Today was the day that we ran errands and Mom got her nails done. We left at 11am and we were home by 2 pm. I put groceries away and then read a magazine for a bit before it was time to get dinner going. Today has gone by so quickly. Mark is watching football as it is the official season opener for the NFL 🏈 Cowboys are winning their game and Patriots play the late game tonight. Don’t think I will be watching it all though. We need to go to bed early tonight so that we can be ready in the morning for that call or email. Mom will tell you on tomorrow’s letter who won. I am sure the Patriots will win though....lol.
 It’s already after 6:15 pm. Mom has fed the pups, made dinner, ate dinner and then cleaned up after dinner. Got everything done early which was nice for a change. It has been nice to relax the last couple of days after the last 2 crazy days and nights that we have had, Mom was even thinking that where it is so early, I may take a nice bubble bath to relax so that I can get some much needed solid sleep tonight. I have a couple of things to do before that though so I will see if I can squeeze one in. Your candle has been lit for a couple hours now 🕯. I hope you see if burning bright for you. Mom will whisper to you later tonight so smile for me and I will smile back to you. I miss you so much and 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 live in my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you sometime in the afternoon after everything gets done. I probably will be writing on my iPad just like I am right now. It’s getting pretty crowded in my office with all the boxes so I am getting limited to the time I spend in there. I think it will be time to pack up my keyboard and mouse and just use this until after the move. Regardless, Mom will write to you each day or night, even if it’s just a quick letter. I promise you that, Tyler. I won’t be able to write the prayer to you though so maybe I can find one and post it in the pictures. I will check into that and try and start that tomorrow. Mom is going to get going for now. I need to get those things done. The sun is setting so Mom is hoping to see a beautiful painting in the sky from you. Have fun tonight while Mom is sleeping. Come visit me in my dreams tonight if you can. Until tomorrow comes....... good night and sweet dreams my bright shining star.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 🖤
