Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom is alright today. I need to apologize to you and all the readers that read my letter yesterday. Mom was just in a really bad mood and I vented on here when I shouldn't have. I know that if we could still talk we would have been discussing why Mom was not happy yesterday but because we can't and I wasn't trying to write you your letter, well...it all came out on here. I am so sorry pumpkin. I will try very hard not to do that again. If I am upset and angry like I was I will write to you to say that I am in that kind of a mood and will write to you the next day. 
 Mom was up early this morning. same time as always with the pups. They were fed, got their morning walk in and then coffee was made, dishes put away and then Mom relaxed for a little bit before starting her day. I came upstairs around 10 am and made the bed, took a shower and then got ready. I chatted with Meme while breakfast was cooking and then I headed upstairs to my office for the day. I was able to do a few things on the computer along with phone calls and emails to help Meme out. Everything else was good for the most part. Things were quiet though. Bob slept until 10 am, had breakfast and then went back to bed and just woke up...it is 4:45 pm. Yup, he slept all day long. Meme said that she was going to leave him alone. She filled me in on a couple things that happened yesterday while Mark and I were walking the pups after they had their dinner. I guess he got pretty mean with his words. He is lucky that I didn't hear that because I would have made a phone call and he would have been out of this house in record time. I will not tolerate what she told me. I will not endanger anyone in this house. It is bad enough that we are in the whole Coronavirus lockdown now. None of need to have anything extra added. 
 Yesterday was a bad day indeed. Tempers were flaring from everyone and we are all very stressed out. The unknown is scary and the reading and watching the news is making it scarier these days. everyone was alright by dinner time, well except Bob. Today this are back to as normal as they can be. Meme has kept to herself for the most part  and Mark has been on the phones all day long. Mom, like I said has kept busy with things and paying this weeks bills. It is almost time to go feed the pups and then go for a walk with them before Mark and Mom have dinner. Tonight will be all about watching the news for a bit and then relaxing for the night. We are in lockdown as of 12 midnight tonight for the 30 days....May 3rd and then there will be another evaluation on things in the world. Things could be better by then or things could still be bad. No one knows at this point right now. It is all a waiting game. Please watch over us like you are doing. I know Aunt Beck is doing a lot of healing work for us as well. I am sure you are helping her too. Thank you for everything. Mom appreciates it so much. I miss you beyond words 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 winds. Forever you live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will light your candle later and I will whisper to you later tonight before I go to bed. Smile for me and I will smile back to you. Have fun if you can while I get some sleep. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thanks! I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Right now I have to start the night stuff or there will be 2 unhappy pups and a hungry husband...lol. Before I go I want to post something that I saw earlier on social media. It hits home but it is what is going on in this world that we are living in. Here it is:

Why, you ask, do I write this status?
One day it will show up in my memory feed, and it will be a yearly reminder that life is precious and not to take the things we dearly love for granted.
We have so much!
Be thankful. Be grateful.
Be kind to each other - love one another - support everyone.

We are all one!

Mom is praying for everyone right now in the world. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams my sweet precious son.

 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah ❤
