Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is doing okay today. I am kinda having an off day today. I am just feeling blah. My emotions are now really all over the place. I think yesterday was the day that it really hit me. It was the 2 week mark for the move. Mom had to get up early to take Mark to his PT appointment. I decided to drop him off and I went to pick up a few things at the store. While driving around here you really have to be on your toes because of the crazy drivers....lol but Mom found herself looking around at all the familiar things that I have seen for the last 6 years. I realized that in just 14 days my life here will completely change. I obviously knew it since Mark and I started this whole process but Mom has been so busy that my mind didn’t have time to really think about it at all. Now I have all kinds of time seeings how almost all the leg work is finished and now we just need to wait for the days before we travel. Maybe everything is just starting to overwhelm Mom. My sleeping is all over the place as well. Most nights have been very little sleep and a couple nights have been really good. My mind just keeps thinking 🤔 Where we are right now is the second longest place that Mom has lived. 41 years in NH, 8 months in OK, 19 months in TX and almost 6 years in MA. Like I said Mom is just emotional. More than usual, anyways.
 Today is October 1st. The Fall Season is in full swing now. The days are warmer and the nights are cooler. It’s our favorite season, pumpkin! Today is also a big day for Meme! It is her last day of work. It is retirement day for her! I spoke to her for a few minutes on her break. I told her I was happy for her and congratulations but it sounded like I made her cry. I think she is even more overwhelmed than I am. Mark and Bob are like cool cucumbers 🥒... lol. Mom will call her later tonight. 
 Last night, Mom chatted with Grandpa and Debbie. They are both doing good. Debbie is feeling better after her bout with food poisoning again. They are getting into the swing of things of not having to work. They both sounded happy and somewhat rested. I am glad that they are all finished working. Grandpa and Bob will no longer be alone anymore. When we move, no one will ever be alone. There will always be someone around. That is a peace of mind for Mom too. I know Mark will have to travel for his job at some point and knowing I won’t be alone makes me feel so much better! Uncle Dick is still in the hospital and is having more bad days than good ones. I look for updates from Aunt Jacqui. He was supposed to have had surgery yesterday on his foot but it ended up being just exploratory. Doctors are not sure what is next or what they are going to do now for him. Mom is praying all the time for all of us. I know you are with us all as well and I thank you my sweet precious son. It means so much! Mom will update you on everything else when I know of things. 
 It is after 5 pm and the pups just had their dinner. It is left over night tonight. Kinda glad as Mom really is in no mood to cook! Your candle is lit 🕯🔥. I hope you are seeing it burning bright for you. Mom will whisper to you later tonight so smile for me and I will smile back to you. Have fun tonight while Mom is trying to get some sleep. If you can, come visit me in my dreams. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. For now, Mom needs to get going to have something to eat for dinner. Please always feel this deep within your soul: you are missed terribly by me, you are loved far beyond what Mom ever thought was possible. 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. Forever you will live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 🖤
