Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Mom is doing alright but I really wish that I would sleep at night. The past few nights I am up at 3 am and can't get back to sleep until after 5 am and then the pups wake me up at 6 am. I need to get a really good nights sleep. 
 Mom had all intentions of writing you a long letter today but to be honest with you, I spent the day outside in and by the pool. The day is almost all over with as it is 4:15 pm. Mom just got a message from one of her friends and he really needs someone to talk to so I am going to call him in a couple minutes before I have to go feed the pups and get dinner going for us all. I know he is hurting and needs a shoulder to lean on. I want to be there for him and I know you will understand. 
 Mom has been talking to you a lot today. I hope you hear me every time I have said something about you or said your name. 7 years ago on this very day, Mom laid you to rest. It is also the anniversary of Grandpa, Audrey and Mom's car accident. That was 32 years ago. Mom went through hell that day along with Grandpa and Audrey. we are all very lucky to be alive. Mom went through hell again 28 years later when I had to bury you. I never said goodbye to you and I never will because it isn't goodbye and you know it just as well as I do. I miss you so much though. I miss it all. The good, the bad and the ugly. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You will always be the wind beneath my wings and forever my hero. You live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. 
 We are all going to watch a movie tonight after dinner but I will light a candle for you and whisper to you before I go to bed. Smile to Mom when you hear me and I will smile right back to you. I know you are doing wonderful things in the heavens above and also here on this earth. Continue to fly high and free, pumpkin. Come visit me in my dreams if you can this evening while Mom is hopefully sleeping (we got new neighbors today...so my fingers are crossed for everything to be quiet). 
 I will be sure to write to you over the weekend as we are not doing anything or going anywhere that I know of. It will be very hot and humid again. High 90's and the heat index will be well above 110 degrees. It will be pool days and swimming and relaxing for sure. Mark is feeling better today so that is good. I think he is napping right now though. Meme is downstairs and I don't know where Bob is at all. 
 Please watch over us all. The Covid numbers keep climbing like crazy daily. We are in over 4,000 new positive cases daily. The governor is not shutting things done either which is super scary. People are not wearing masks either. This is definitely the 2nd wave that they were talking about and knowing that if it hit it would be worse then the first time 😢 Mom continues to pray daily for everyone to be healthy, safe and happy as they can be. Thanks for keeping us in your care, Ty. It means a lot to Mom. 
 I will be back tomorrow with another letter. For now, Mom is going to call her friend to try and help him out. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams. I love you more than words 💖
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah ❤
