Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. I have a bit of a headache right now but other than that I am good. I went to bed quite early last night and slept pretty well. I was up at 6:15 am. Feed the pups at 7 am and then lounged for a bit before getting ready. Once all that was done Mom headed out the door and went grocery shopping. I got home around 11:30 am and rearranged everything and put all of it away. I finished that at 12:45 pm. It is always like playing jenga after shopping in this house. I always have to redo the refrigerator, freezer and pantry. Meme and Bob were outside while I did all that. I think I told you that Mark and Mom bought a stand alone freezer to put in the garage. It comes next week and where we are putting it, Meme and Bob have a bunch of stuff there. I let them know that it needed to be moved. Meme got angry with me because I asked her again when she was going to move all of it. She told me that I was hounding her. well, if she did it a few days ago, Mom wouldn't have to keep asking her now would I? There was always some excuse to why she didn't do it. It was too cold, it was raining. Well today is the perfect day because it is dry, sunny and 78 degrees. She came inside for a few minutes and said something. I asked her what she was going to do and she yelled at me. I told her that just because she was angry that didn't give her the right to take it out on me. She walked away and went back outside. Now she is not talking to me. Whatever. She can not think it is alright to treat me that way when I am not the reason she is angry in the first place. Bob is absolutely no help to her at all either and that makes her even angrier. No my problem and not my issue. She needs to deal with it not Mom. Poor Mark had to listen to all that when he is doing something pretty important for work. I apologized to him for it and came down to my office so that he could be left alone. I checked email and such and decided to write to you now. Afterwards, I think I am going to just relax and maybe play a game on my phone. I am listening to some soft music, relaxing music to help my headache. Hope it helps! 
 Last night was really quiet. No phone calls. We had dinner and then I did the dishes and we came upstairs and Mark played his video game and Mom watched TV. Meme and Bob went upstairs after they ate around 6 pm and Bob went to bed and Meme was watching a movie on TV. I had a candle going in our room. It was quiet and peaceful. I enjoyed it very much. I think tonight will be a repeat of the same thing. Maybe not as early. It is Friday after all. I think we will take the pups for a nice walk later and then who knows. No plans for the weekend as of right now. I know the weather will be cooler....back in the high 60's to low 70's. Maybe Mark and Mom will have to chance to just go somewhere and do something ourselves for a change. That would be really nice. I am sure that we will be sitting outside by the pool as well so that he can smoke a cigar. He hasn't done that in a few days. That relaxes Mark which is nice to see. Mom will have to update you on that later this weekend to what we are doing. 
 Never received a call back from Aunt Beck. She must be really busy. Debbie was online yesterday afternoon. I asked her if it was a nice reunion with Grandpa. She said yes but there was a lot of talking that needed to be done and she wanted to take things slow. Mom understood but what I didn't understand is why she was on her phone and facebook. That was one of the problems that they had. She was always on her phone and that is why Grandpa didn't talk. Mom doesn't want to start thinking this way but I am now wondering if her intentions were good on why she wanted to "come back home." I guess time will tell. I will hear it in Grandpa's voice when I call Sunday. I will see how she reacts as well. Mom will fill you in on that later. Tomorrow is Auntie Kristina's Dads memorial service. Mom wishes that she could be there to support her but she knows that I am there in spirit. I am only a call away for her. I will check in with them over the weekend. I am sure that Jim will be looking down and smiling at all the people and memories that will be shared tomorrow. 
 When Mom signed in on here today, I noticed that it said there was 8900 posts. I was like wow! In July it will be 7 years that I have written to you. I started the blog 2 weeks after you passed on. That is crazy to think that there are 8900 posts with letters and pictures to you! Dang that is a lot. Mom is still thankful to everyone who continues to read her letters to you daily, weekly or monthly. They are being read all over the world still. I hope and pray that I can help others that are going through the same thing as Mom. In grief, there is never a time frame to just "get over it." Every one is different in the process. Mom still grieves for you daily and I know I always will. The pain is still there and it never fades. I laugh, I smile, etc...but I also cry just as much. Everything reminds me of you and it hurts like h*ll. You were and still are my everything. I miss you beyond anything. More than words can say. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You will always be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. You forever live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. 
 Later tonight I will light the candle for you while I make dinner. That is when I usually light it and I also light it in the morning for a couple hours as well. I will whisper to you later too. Smile for me and I will smile to you. Mom hopes that your night is everything that you need it to be and maybe want it to be as well. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thanks pumpkin. Please watch over us all. We all need you in our lives. Continue to learn wherever you are. Spread those wings and fly high and free. Soar like an Eagle. Mom knows you are! I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. For now, Mom is going to go relax for a couple hours. Soon it will be time to feed the pups and make dinner. Until tomorrow comes my sweet precious son.....good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
