Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom is able to write to you a bit earlier today. I have been so busy from the start of the day until right now. Mom didn't sleep all that well last night. I was tired but just couldn't sleep I guess. Ozzy got us up at 7 am promptly like he does every morning. I swear that pup can tell time...lol. We fed them and they went for their walk. Meme and Bob were already gone to his appointment so we had the house to ourselves. Mom took advantage and did a few things instead of lounging around. I vacuumed the entire house...both upstairs and downstairs. Mark took the garbage out after I cleaned out the refrigerator. Mom also rearranged a few things on the counter so that Meme could put her new rice steamer on there. I had to do that because she had no room otherwise. She won't part with anything...even the things she is not using, which is mostly everything as I do 90% of the cooking. She actually keeps buying more and more stuff. It is unreal. I think Mark is right...if things continue to go this way and she doesn't stop then we will have to have an intervention and seek professional help in this because it is getting out of hand. We don't want to but we may need to. Anyways...enough of that! Mom also had the chance to dust, clean all the counter tops and the dining table and get ready all before Meme and Bob got back! I did really well. After that was all said and done, Mom made something to eat and then came into my office to pay bills online that needed to be done. I also shopped for Mark's Valentine's gift which will be here tomorrow! After all that, Mark and Mom took the pups for a nice walk and then had some lunch. We sat by the pool for a bit too and then came back in to start my studies. I have been doing that now for about 2 hours and wanted a break so I decided to write your letter. I will have a bit more time to do some more studies after before it is time for dinner and the night routine. I am on schedule to finish up things over the weekend and type everything out on Monday and take my final on Wednesday as Tuesday I have an appointment during the afternoon. I will come in 22 days before the full year is up. Not bad seeing how Mom has taken off the last 8 months with Mark being sick back to back, packing up the apartment, moving, unpacking, getting things settled here, etc... On Saturday it will be 4 months since we moved. Some days it feels longer and other days it is like wow...already! It is the same way when it comes to the time that has passed since you went away. On the 20th it will be 6 years and 8 months since you flew away and gained your Angel Wings. I miss you so dang much. Nothing is the same and hasn't been since you left my world. everything is crazy and turned upside down. I know it will never be the same again either but I try so hard to get by. I think I put on a get act for everyone. They don't see through it at all. That has to count for something, right? I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. To infinity and beyond. You have and always will be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. 
 Not much is going to go on tonight. I think it will be a quick dinner, dishes, and then going for a walk with the pups and then perhaps a nice relaxing couple hours by the pool. Then we will make our way to the bedroom and watch some TV for a bit before crashing. I know it will be an early one for Mom tonight. Tomorrow is Friday and also Valentine's Day. Mom goes to get her hair high lighted. This time it is for a full high light. Mom will be more blonde than brunette. It has been awhile since that has happened but I am excited to see the results. Meme is getting her hair cut while I am setting. I think that is the only place we are going tomorrow but who knows. That could change before the nights out. This weekend will be all about relaxing. We have to go get a few groceries but other than that is will be spent by the pool, BBQing, movie night Saturday and Poker night Sunday. 
 Mom hopes that your night is everything that you need and want it to be. Have fun while we are sleeping. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. I would love that my sweet precious son. I have had a candle lit all day for you. I hope you have seen it. I will light another one later tonight while watching TV. I will whisper to you later tonight too. Smile for me and I will smile for you. I will be hoping to see a painting in the sky tonight as there is no dark clouds today. If there is I will be sure to take pictures and thank you like I always do. I will be back tomorrow morning with another letter to you. For now, Mom has 1 hour to do some more studying before the night routine starts. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams, pumpkin.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💗
