Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? It is 3:32 pm here and the sun is shining bright but it is cold...well it is in the 60's which is cold for us...lol. Mom has had a very busy day today doing so many things. Time is flying by today.
 I was up at 6:45 am and got the pups fed while Mark made is way downstairs to take the pups for their morning walk. I got coffee ready and visited with Meme for a bit before it was time to go upstairs and get ready to start the day. I made the bed, took a shower and then ventured downstairs to grab breakfast before heading to my office. Once I was there, I had so much to do. I paid the bills that needed to be paid for the week, I did a bunch of paperwork for Mark and paid a few bills that he had as well, I have been on the phone a few times trying to get things situated for the repair guy to come out next week to fix the AC, I was so busy I didn't even stop for lunch. That is okay as dinner will be in about 1.5 hours. Mark has been just as busy. Meme has been knitting and watching movies all day and Bob has actually been in the spare room of theirs playing his train game. He just finished a bit ago. He has been in there for almost 4 hours or more. That is good as it gives him something to do instead of sitting all day staring at the walls. we are all happy that he is doing that. He needs more games though. Maybe we can find him some. 
 Last night was fun. Mom made dinner for everyone as it was Bob's Birthday. After dinner we had cake and then they went to bed. Mark and Mom stayed up. Mark fell asleep pretty early as well though. Mom was awake until 12 midnight. I was chatting online with Jennifer...Bob's daughter. We had a very good conversation and I think she is realizing that what she thought was going on here is completely the opposite. I explained it all to her. she was to say the least shocked. She said that she was going to call more often and I hope she does. She is planning a visit her with the 2 girls in May sometime. I hope that happens because I know Bob would really like that very much. I am sure he misses her even though he doesn't say it. Mom will keep you posted on that. 
 Mom hasn't said much about things with Mark and what has been going on. He has been pretty sick the last 5 days/nights. It happened again all day yesterday and last night but we think we know why now. I sure hope so. It was getting pretty scary. Things seem okay today so that is a good sign. Please watch over him for Mom and the rest of us. Thank you my sweet precious son. Everyone else is doing okay. Just busy in our own way and tired from it all. Tomorrow is Saturday and it will be February 29th. Yep... it is Leap Year and that means an extra day this month. We are planning on going to Old Town tomorrow for a couple of hours. Mark is looking for a couple things and Meme wants to hit a few stores as well. Sunday will be a day that we go to Home Depot to look at all the swatches and find our paint color for the house. Monday will be the day that we submit it all...application and swatches to see if we can get approved for it all. What a run around just to get the house painted. Dang! It sure is crazy. The rest of Sunday will be relaxing and not doing anything during the day. That usually is our "don't do nothing" day. Mom will of course write to you in the evening. I will write to you again tomorrow too. I will light your candle in a little bit as well. Know it is burning bright for you my sweet precious son. I miss you so much. 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. Forever you live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Have fun tonight while Mom gets some much needed sleep. Come visit me if you can. I would love that. Mom needs to start prepping for the night stuff...feeding the pups, making dinner and then going for our nightly walk. After that it will be a night of watching TV as I have so many DVR shows to burn through this weekend as the new cable, internet, etc... will be installed Monday afternoon. Continue to fly high and free. Give Eli a great big hug from Sherbear as today is his 2nd Angelversary. I know his Mom and Dad and all of us are missing him and just want him to know that too. Thanks pumpkin. I love you with all my heart and unconditionally. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams later.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💖
