Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is doing okay but I am in a pretty sad mood. My day has not been all that great for a couple reasons. Mom was up early this morning feeding the pups, walking them and then making coffee for everyone. I sat downstairs for a little bit. Mark came downstairs after a little bit and I asked him 1 question. I wanted him to explain something to me so that I could have a better understanding about something he did and instead of trying to have Mom understand, he got all angry with me, stormed outside and then stormed upstairs. He won't talk to me at all. Mom came upstairs and did a bunch of cleaning. I cleaned all 3 bathrooms, cleaned all downstairs, decluttered the bathroom closet and then vacuumed all upstairs. I collected all the garbage in all the rooms as well and that is where I saw that he threw out all kinds of things that Mom gave him. I question it and asked why and he said they didn't matter to him and that he didn't want them. I walked out, said nothing as I knew there was no use and silently shed a few tears. That was hurtful to me. I guess I should be used to it by now as that is what he always does but I am not. I was not raised that way. You appreciate it when someone gives you something. Mom is just very hurt right now. I got ready, grabbed something to eat and now I have been in my office all afternoon. Mark has the door closed and Meme and Bob have been gone for about 3-4 hours. I am glad that I am able to just be by myself right now. I have cried more tears and I get teary-eyed at a drop of a hat right now. I don't know why mark has to be that mean to me all the time. It is like he could really give a sh*t to my feelings. I just don't get it. Guess I never will.
 Anyways.... today is a new start to a new week and although it hasn't started off that great, Mom is plugging away at a few things for my business. I have reached out to several vendors, had a couple phone conversations and have done a few emails. Things are moving along nicely. I have a few more calls to make in a little bit but I wanted to write to you as it is very quiet here right now. 
 I guess Meme and Bob went to see if she could trade in her vehicle. She has been wanting to get out of the one she is in since she got it 5 months ago. She hated it. we have heard her complain about it every day. She called me earlier to see how I liked this particular one and I told her it wasn't my style but I wasn't going to be the one driving it. I don't understand why she is settling for a type of vehicle that she really doesn't want. She had a type and color for what she really really liked and now she is just going with the first one that she sees. I know it is none of my business but I just think she is going to be very unhappy with her decision in the long run and there won't be anything that she will be able to do at that point. She will be stuck with what she chose. Guess we shall see when she gets back home. It is already past 3:30 pm so I know it won't be long. I believe that she will be driving home in the one she took a picture of and sent it to me. Mom will update you on it tomorrow.
 Mark just came into my office and chatted like nothing was wrong at all. I told him that he hurt me and he said that he was sorry as that wasn't his intention but there was no feelings behind the words that he was saying. He knows how I feel and what he does with it is up to him. I just hope he doesn't expect Mom to disregard it that easy because that won't be the case! He is back on another call right now and it is quiet once again. The pups are hanging out with me in my office. Princess is looking out the window and growling at everyone who walks by and Ozzy was playing with his toy. I think the rest of the afternoon will be all about working on my business some more and then feeding the pups, taking them for a walk, making dinner and then relaxing for the night. It is overcast right now and no sun but it is warm as heck out there. All week it will be in the high 8o's to mid 90's. Spring is Summer here and every other season as well...lol. Mom has an appointment tomorrow afternoon. It is still on despite the whole Coronavirus. Things change at a drop of a hat. Every hour the news gets worse, things lock down, shut down, cases go up. We are doing all that we can here to make sure we are safe and healthy. I know you are watching over us and that means the most to me, Tyler. Mom is praying day and night for every one around the world right now. This is nothing like what I have ever seen in my lifetime and it is bad. I think this is just the start of it as well. I think in the coming weeks it is going to get worse. All schools are now closed indefinitely along with restaurants, bars, any social gathering places that draw crowds, etc.... Again, we are safe and good. we will do what is being asked of us. Go out when you need to, stay 6 ft away from people, don't shake hands with anyone, wash your hands a lot and cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze....lastly, stay home if you are sick. Mom will keep you updated on this situation too. 
 It is now 3:45 pm and Mom needs to go back to making a few calls. I will be back tomorrow night with another letter to you. I will light your candle and whisper to you later tonight before I go to bed. Continue to have fun while I sleep at night and may your evening be everything you need and want it to be my sweet precious son. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. 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 are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Fly high and free pumpkin. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah ❤
