Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is doing okay today! I think after 10 days, my body and my system is finally getting back to normal. Mom is able to eat again and not have my stomach be upset. I get full faster but I have lost weight and my stomach has shrunk. That is not a bad thing at all. 
 The sun is shining again today. It is in the middle 80's. Mark and I went outside during his lunch break and sat by the pool. It was really nice. We are planning on doing that daily just to be able to get up and walk away from every thing and get some fresh air. Bob is still sitting outside. He does that every day for about 6 hours straight. Meme is in her bedroom knitting and watching TV I believe. Mark is on a conference call until after 5 pm. Tonight will be dinner, dishes, walking the pups and then relaxing for the evening before bed. This morning the service guys came to look at our AC Unit. We did indeed have a slow leak with the coolant. The guys that were here last night would not have been able to see it as it was only gauged by the tool that this guy had. It could not have been seen by the naked eye. They fixed the leak and refilled the unit with coolant. It was price that was not expected at all but there was nothing that we could do. It had to be fixed. Everything is back and up and running. The whole house is cool again and it didn't take long at all. Maybe a couple of hours. Seems like we are just getting hit hard with everything all at once with things that need repairing, replacing or fixing. Homeownership has not been fun so far for us but we are very blessed that they business' are really nice here. Hopefully things will slow down now for us and we will be able to save some money. That would be helpful and nice.
 Things went well with Bob's appointment today. Mom tried calling Aunt Beck and Auntie Kristina but no luck on either ends of those. Mom left messages. I know things are rough on Auntie Kristina's end. I know that her Dad, Jim is failing fast now. I am sure Aunt Beck will call when she has time. Bob has another doctor visit this Thursday. Mom is finally going to start doing her classes again. Tomorrow morning...bright and early. I want this class done and the final taken by the end of the month or beginning of February. I need to start the other classes for Travel Agent. I am excited about that one! Not much else is going on today. No other updates on things. Princess is doing well and Ozzy is better. He fell in the pool on Saturday afternoon. He was running and did the same thing as Princess did a few weeks ago. They both know how to swim so that is good. Mark jumped right in though. His reflex time was amazing! 
 Mom is still praying for the people and animals of Australia. I was reading that planes are dropping tons of fresh veggies and food for the wildlife there. That warmed my heart. Just thinking about all that lost everything, including lives lost..... both human and animal breaks my heart still. There was rumors going around saying that the fires were started by humans. I am not sure how true that is but I sure hope not. I don't understand how anyone could do that. Mom will continue praying for all. I pray every night before I go to bed. Sometimes I fall asleep saying my prayers and wake up and finish them...lol. I thank God and the Angels for the evening of sleep and the morning of waking up. I do that daily and have for many years now. It is important to Mom. I still say a prayer for you too, pumpkin. I 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. Forever you live in my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom sure hopes that you have fun tonight while I get some sleep. I am sure without a doubt that you are busy but if you have time, come visit me in my dreams. I would love that. I will light your candle again this evening when I go downstairs and I will whisper to you later as well so smile when you hear Mom and I will smile right back to you my sweet precious son. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you but for now I am going to close this letter and get a few more things done before it is time to get things going for the night routine and also dinner. Until tomorrow comes...… good night and sweet dreams, Tyler...my bright shining star. I love you unconditionally.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
