Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is doing okay today. It is another fast day though as it is already after 3:30 pm. Mom has been up since 7 am and as usual I fed the pups and got coffee on for Mark and Meme. I lounged downstairs for a bit this morning. I had breakfast early and then I was chatting with Meme before getting ready to start my day. After all that was done, Mom was able to touch base with a very sweet friend of mine, Matt. We talked on the phone for 2 hours. Mom had some lunch afterwards and then the cable guy came to check things out. He was here for about 30 minutes and changed out the service box that we had because it was showing that there was low activity. He showed Mom how to use everything and then he was on his way. Hopefully that will take care of the problem. 
 Everyone seems to be in a bad mood here. Mark has a headache from the dogs barking. I told him I would take care of them and he said no. I don't feel sorry for him at all. Meme is grumpy for whatever reason. Probably stressing over her house and Bob is sleeping and has been all morning and afternoon. He was up for maybe an hour to eat and that was it. Meme said something about him not feeling well. He was tired??? Not sure. Last night we watched a tv show and then a movie. It didn't get over until 9:45 pm. That is late for Meme and Bob so it might be that he got effected by that. I think tonight will be an early night for them both. Mark will play on his computer while Mom watches and catches up on her shows before bed. Tomorrow morning we are headed out to go to a couple stores. Mark and Mom wanted to do that in the afternoon but Meme wants to go so we have to go in the morning and be back by 1:30 pm so that she can take Bob to his doctors appointment. He is having a consult for another sleep study. He got a call yesterday to go have a pretty important test done and he told them on the phone that he wasn't going and he was refusing. Meme and I talked about this this morning. She was upset with him and I told her that he was an adult and he could do what he wanted even if that meant that others didn't agree with his decisions. We have to respect him for that. That is what Mom did with you when you got of age to make your own choices. I let you, I gave my opinion and when you made your decision, I supported you on it. That is what being an adult is all about. Having your own say in things when it comes to your own life. He goes to his PCP at the end of next month so I am sure she will say something to him but in the meantime it is the waiting game. 
 Not much else is really knew. Mom touched base with Marion this afternoon as I never hear from her first anymore. She was saying that Charlie spent the night in the hospital. I guess he was not feeling good yesterday morning and he went to the ER. They stayed there for 4-5 hours and then they released him as they found nothing wrong. They got home and a couple hours later he was having stomach pains and trouble breathing to where he really couldn't. Back to the ER again and they admitted him. The doctors still don't know what is happening but he is home now and relaxing. I told her to keep me posted on things but I have my doubts unfortunately that she will. I am not someone she confides in anymore at all. Guess as the saying goes...out of sight, out of mind. It has been that way for 6 years now. It hurts still and it sucks but nothing I can do. I don't really think I will ever see them again anyways. They won't ever come visit us here. They are headed on a cruise in 16 days. We had planned one with them over 3 years ago. They planned it with 4 other couples and excluded Mark and Mom from it. That was a slap in the face. Karma will come back and get them for all that they continue to do. Mom helped them both out so much in the past and to be treated this way by them hurt for a very long time. I know that you see what they are doing. You see it all. Just know that Mom is okay. It sucks from time to time when I get reminded of things but other than that I am handling it better then I have in the past.
 No word on Debbie's nephew as of today. He is home I believe though. Mom will fill you in on that when I know. Nothing from Aunt Beck in a few days and I haven't spoken to Bean since Christmas and that was less then 5 minutes and before that it was almost a year. I kind of have given up on that whole thing too. She doesn't call and I don't try anymore. It is a shame but I am not wasting my energy and time on anyone...family or not family on ones that don't bother with me. I learned that lesson many many years ago. 
 Mom is hoping that you have a wonderful night doing all the things you want to and need to do. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. I will be lighting your candle in my room tonight instead of downstairs. I will whisper to you later as well. I miss you beyond words 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. Forever you live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will be back tomorrow afternoon to write to you again. For now it is almost time to fed the pups their dinner, take them for a walk and then get dinner going for Mark and I. Until tomorrow comes my sweet precious son....please watch over us. Thank you. Good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
