Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Mom can't believe that it is already 4:23 pm. This day has flown right by. Mom has been up since 5 am. Everyone heard a big bang noise this morning and it woke us all up. We didn't know what it was and come to find out it was Bob. He fell out of bed. Dang.. it is not funny but when he told us all, we couldn't help but laugh. I think we all have done that once or twice. He didn't get hurt so that is what matters the most. Anyways.... we were up at 7 am to feed the pups and then they went for their morning walk, had their vitamins and then Mom relaxed for a few minutes and then came upstairs and got ready. Meme and I headed out for the morning to do some retail therapy. We got home at 2:30 pm. We had fun. We both picked up a few goodies today. Mom's was mostly clear bins to organize the stuff in the bathroom better and that is okay because that was what I was looking for. Meme got a few candles and a chair that she wanted. The rest of the afternoon was spent reorganizing the bathroom and now I am writing to you before it is time to feed the pups again and make dinner. Meme is watching a movie and Bob is out by the pool. Mark is taking a work break right now and is visiting with Bob. The weather is beautiful. It is 80 degrees and there is a breeze. The whole weekend will be like this. Tomorrow will be a day to relax at home by the pool and have a BBQ and Sunday we are headed to Disney Springs to go walk around and have lunch at the Raglan Irish Pub. We have been wanting to go there for so long but you can never get in because it is that busy. We finally made reservations. It should be fun. Tonight will be all about having dinner, doing the dishes, walking the pups and then watching the TV show that Meme and Bob are hooked on. By the time that finishes up it will be close to 8 pm and Meme and Bob will go to bed and Mark and Mom will come upstairs and watch TV in our room before we go to bed. This week is a far cry from last week. Mom was already feeling sick all day and said barely nothing to anyone and I was upstairs all day and around 6 pm was when it all started. I am so glad to be over that and finally getting back to my old self again. Mark is all better too. Thank you for watching over us all. It means so much to Mom.
 Auntie Kristina got in touch with me yesterday and said that her Dad, Jim is progressively declining and fast. It is over 2 weeks now in Hospice. Usually in those cases it is 2-4 weeks and then the person passes. My heart is breaking for everyone there. These are the times that Mom wishes that she lived closer so that I could be there for her but she knows that already. I know that Jim is in a lot of pain now and all I can hope for is a peaceful passing for him surrounded by his family and friends. Auntie Kristina is going to call me over the weekend so I will get the chance to chat with her and give you an update over the weekend. Mom will be talking to Aunt Beck and Grandpa on Sunday again so I will fill you in on all that too. Not much else is going on at all. It is pretty quiet. We have some new neighbors renting the house next to us. Looks like an older couple so maybe we lucked out and they will be quiet....lol. Most of the time the neighbors are very loud and party all hours of the night. Time will tell with these new ones!
 Tonight will be a full moon. The skies are pretty cloudy here so I don't think we will see it. Mom hopes that you have fun doing everything that you need to do and want to do. If you have time, come visit me in my dreams while Mom is sleeping. That would be wonderful. Mom misses you so much and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You will forever be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. You live in my heart, mind, body and soul. Thank you for being my bright shining star that helps guide the way for me. Mom will whisper to you later this evening so smile for me and I will smile for you. Your candle will be lit in a few minutes as well. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then my sweet precious son.....good night and sweet dreams. Mom is off to feed the pups and make dinner...…
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
