Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom wanted to write to you now as I guess where we live, we are in a weather advisory for now until Friday morning at 7 am. It is extremely hot and humid outside right now with a temp of 90 degrees but the wind is blowing hard. It will be 20-30 mph and gusts up to 50 mph as the day goes on. During the evening from 10 pm to 1 am we will be getting some severe thunderstorms as well. Looks like it will be a night with very little sleep as the pups will be so scared. Mom is definitely not looking forward to that at all. If there is anything that you might be able to do, Mom sure would love it and could use it! Thank you pumpkin!
 Mom wanted to tell you that I am sorry for not writing a letter to you yesterday but the day was extremely busy. Mom and Meme headed out the door at 9:30 am. We went out shopping in a few stores and then did grocery shopping. We never got back until after 2 pm. We have some lunch when we return plus Mom put everything away that was purchased. After that was all done, I came upstairs to my office and I checked emails, sent some emails and then just as I was getting ready to write to you, my cousin, Kathy called. We talked on the phone until 5:40 pm. Mom was late in feeding the pups and I didn't make anything for dinner. Mark was still full from the late lunch so that actually worked out in my favor. Meme and Bob I guess ate and ventured upstairs to watch a movie. Mark and I went outside by the pool and took advantage of the alone time and we just relaxed and chatted about a few things. It was really nice. We came inside around 8 pm and decided to get cozy and watch TV. Grandpa called around 8:30 pm. He wanted to see if everything was alright because once again our home phone was not working. We talked until 9 pm. Mom played a game for about 30 minutes and then called it a night as I was tired from running around the last 2 days. I slept off and on. Not the greatest sleep but it would do. This morning I was up at 7 am and the pups were fed, coffee made, the pups went for their morning walk and then I hopped on the phone to the phone, internet company again. I was on the phone with them for 2 hours...8 am - 10 am. There will be another tech service guy coming out tomorrow morning between 8 am -12 pm to check things out. This situation is a mess and out of control. We pay for a service that is rarely ever working. Internet drops randomly and so does the telephone. We don't have it more than we do. I am sick of calling and getting a ticket made and having someone come out weekly. Things better work or next time we are going to canceling out all this, not have a landline phone and we will do something else for the internet. We have a firestick for TV so no worries there. It will also be cheaper in the long run! Stay tuned and Mom will tell you what happens on tomorrows letter....lol
 I just finished paying all the bills for the week online and Mark is getting ready to skip out and go get a haircut. I am also doing laundry. Meme has dinner covered for tonight which is wonderful! We are having BBQ Spareribs on the grill with veggies and potatoes. It sounds yummy! Starting tomorrow, Mom has to crack down and do her school work. I got a notice saying that I have 1 month to complete everything or I have to pay $95.00 for a 6 month extension. That is not happening so starting tomorrow the 7th I will be hitting the books and finishing up everything. I have 5 projects to do and then the final exam. I can do this it I set my mind to it! Please be with me as I do this though. Mom needs you, Tyler, my sweet precious son! Thank you. 
 Boy the wind is whipping here. It is funny to see because it was an every day thing in Boston but not here. Today is the first day we are experiencing this. The sun is just shining brightly though. I love all the natural sun light that comes in my office windows. The landscapers trimmed down the palm trees that were hitting the windows and garage yesterday. It was nice that they did that but dang, they took off half of the palms. No instead of having full palm trees...we have 3 half palm trees. It is a bummer but it was necessary. The pups are all tired and sleepy. Ozzy is in his bed while Princess is laying on Mom's bench. She uses it as a window seat. It is adorable. I don't mind. Not much else is going on here. Things are pretty quiet actually. It is nice for a change. Bob is outside, Meme is in her room doing whatever and Mark is leaving now. After Mom finishes your letter, I will be looking at my school classes and starting it as I have a couple hours to do something. 
 Mom has a candle lit in my office. It is right next to your picture on my computer desk. I will light the other one later this afternoon for you too. I will whisper to you later tonight before I go to bed. I hope that you have fun while I sleep tonight...hopefully! Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Smile for Mom and I will smile to you. Thanks! I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. I miss you so much 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. I hope you are continuing to fly high and free. I really have no doubt that you are not. I know you are doing so many wonderful things and are so busy learning. Mom is still so very proud of you! Thank you for the beautiful painting in the sky last night. It was so pretty. It made me smile. It is time for Mom to get cracking on her studies. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams later my bright shining star!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
