Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! Happy Monday to you. I hope you are doing well on this sunny afternoon. Mom is doing alright but I am very tired today. I didn't sleep all that well last night and I am feeling it right now. It is after 4:30 pm and my eyeballs are wanting to close. I am trying hard not to let them because I know that if I do, I will not sleep tonight at all. I am hoping to get my 2nd, 3rd and 4th wind...lol. 
 Mom was up quite early this morning due to Mark snoring and I couldn't fall back to sleep. I have been awake since 6 am. Mom didn't get out of bed until 7:30 am though. I went downstairs and fed the pups and they went for their walk. Mom didn't even lounge in the chair. Meme and Bob went to an appointment and I did some cleaning. I rearranged a few things and then I got ready and out the door Meme and I went. We went to Walmart. OMG... was it super busy. We were in there for over 3 hours. We left at 11 am and got home at 2 pm. Mom put everything away and then came into her office. I made a few calls and then I poked around on the internet before writing to you now. The weather has been nice today and we got a good cloud burst a bit ago but now the sun is back out. The rest of the week are middle 80's and the next two weeks will be gearing us up for what the summer months will be...all the days will be in the high 90's. It was that way when we got here in October. Mom is looking forward to it but I know that the summer heat will be intense and I will be enjoying the pool a lot at that point! 
 Mark worked his butt off today while Mom was gone. He is exhausted. Bob is playing a computer game and Meme is watching TV. Mom is a bit upset at Bob right now. He doesn't even lend a hand when we need him too. He uses the excuse that he didn't hear anything. Mom calls BS because that is not true at all. He is just not ever wanting to do anything at all. His life consists of sleeping, eating, and playing a video game now and then going outside by the pool and repeat. He never helps with the cleaning, the garbage, nothing... Mom is loosing patience with him and fast. I know he has a medical condition but being lazy is no dang excuse and that is exactly what he is being. 
 Mom doesn't have any updates at all for you regarding the family. The phones are really quiet and no one is calling at all. Aunt Shirley is never on line anymore either. I will have to call her tomorrow or later tonight to say hello. I have been thinking about her a lot lately. I sure hope that she is alright. Mom will update you on that tomorrow. We haven't heard from Aunt Beck lately either so we all assume that she is just busy. Never anything from Bean either. Still nothing from my so called "friends" up North either. I don't bother anymore. I just let it go. I know that I will never see any of them probably ever again. Sad to say and think but Mom has to live in the reality world not the fantasy world. Not much else to report on this end. Mom will update you when I have something.
 A friend of Mom's reached out to me yesterday afternoon. I guess I posted something on social media that may have made her think of it and she asked Mom if I ever thought about starting a support group for grieving parents. I wrote back and told her no I haven't but I would be open to it. I don't know a thing about it or where to begin. She gave Mom a link to check out so I will be doing that later tonight or tomorrow. I am interested. I asked my friends on social media about it and wanted their feedback. I got a few saying that I would be really good at it and there is a need and then there was one that said there were tons out there already. I am still thinking about it at this point. I have so much other stuff going on too...my college class, this new adventure I am looking at, everything at home, my blog. I don't want to add or commit to something that I can't put time into. If I did something like that then it would be a website and maybe a conference call 1-2 times a week for 30 minutes to an hour. I could do that. Mom will keep you posted on this as well. I will let you know my thoughts as I look deeper into this. 
 It is 5:15 pm. Mom needs to go feed the pups right now and get dinner going for Mark and I. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Have fun while Mom gets some much needed sleep. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thank you my sweet precious son. I will light a candle for you tonight and whisper to you later. Smile for me and I will smile to you. 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. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams my bright shining star. I miss you terribly.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💖
