Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. I wanted to write to you really quick before it was time for me to go downstairs and prep dinner for this evening. Shouldn't take to long to prep but there are several steps to making homemade mac and cheese. Things have been okay today. Mom is pretty fatigue though still. I am taking it easy and doing little things and taking my time. Last night I slept okay but I think I was worried about Mark as he stated to feel very sick. He is doing so much better today. I think he just needed to get a good night sleep. Mom was doing really well yesterday. I had energy and felt good to go out and today has been a different story altogether. I have felt like crap most of the day. Food is still not agreeing with me. I hope that this passes really soon. I am not really hungry but I force myself to eat a little at a time instead of a huge meal. I really am hoping that I get a good nights rest and I feel better in the morning. Not much at all for updates again. Phones have been ringing but no one is on the other end...they hang up when they realize they have the wrong number I guess. No word from Aunt Beck yet and Mom still has not spoken to Grandpa. I really need to do this and give them both a call. Maybe I will do that tomorrow. Mom can stay home all day tomorrow until 5:45 pm when it is time for Princess' appointment to see how she is doing. I really hope she is doing good. She seems it. She doesn't seem to be in any pain at all from what I can see. Mom will fill you in on that update on Friday's letter to you. 
 Today is Ozzy's Birthday. The little guy turned 5 years old. I can't believe that he is already 5. Time is flying by so fast. Princess will be 15 years old in 3 weeks. I know you never got to meet them but you see them and I am sure that you would love them both so much and vice versa. 
 There is so much going on in this world right now and it is all so sad. Australia is still fighting the fires. Seeing the photos and reading about it all is so dang sad. Over a billion animals have perished. Mom is praying for them all. 2800 Soldiers and probably more now have been deployed to Iran and things are looking as if there may be a war soon. Mom doesn't know much about the subject at all so I can't give any details. All I know is that Mom is again, praying for all the Soldiers and their families that they have a safe return and back into they loved ones arms. It is a scary place down here. Mom will keep you posted on these things as well my sweet precious son. 
 I will be lighting a new candle for you this evening. I will whisper to you later tonight so listen for my voice and smile for Mom. I will smile to you too. I hope that you have fun doing all the things you need to do and want to do wherever you may be. I have no doubt that you are extremely busy. If you can,come visit Mom in my dreams tonight even if it is for a brief few minutes. Thank you. I miss you more than anything. More than words and more than I could ever express to you but I know you feel it deep within your soul. 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 will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. For now I have to get this dinner started or no one is going to be eating tonight...lol. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams my bright shining star.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
