Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is writing to you a bit on the earlier side so that I can go out and enjoy a few hours in the pool before dinner. Mark and Mom said that we would head outside around 3 pm or 3:30 pm to catch some rays and so that we could just relax for a bit. It is 2:20 pm so I have a few minutes to write to you.
 Mom is sorry about the short letters the last couple days but I guess if Mom is being honest, on the weekends I tend not to be near electronics at all unless it is for music outside while we are in the pool. I think Mom needs to just have that mental break from it all. Weekends are the only time that Mark and Mom can really have as during the week it is work for him and for Mom it is getting things together for my box business and then needing to start my college class! I think that starting this week, Mom will be taking weekends off from writing. It is not because I don't think of you because that it is furthest from the truth. You are always on my mind and you are always someone who Mom talks about all the time. I will continue to light your candle during those days and nights and I will continue to whisper to you throughout the day and before I go to bed. Mom just needs to take a break from everything I think. There is a lot going on here....things that you can see and already know about so I will not go into detail on here at all. Mark and Mom have so much to discuss, get our heads around and figure out what we are going to do. The added stress is not good for us and Mom just needs to have 2 days out of 7 to just relax and do whatever I want to do in those days. I know that you won't be mad or judge me at all. I know that you understand where I am coming from. I know that several people all over the world still read my letters daily so I wanted them to know that I haven't stopped writing to you, it will just be a Monday-Friday thing from now on. I will return every Monday with updates on the weekend of what we did, didn't do and what is happening currently. I sure hope that folks stick around to continue to read my letters to you for the 5 days that I do write. If not I get it and I completely understand. I hope in some way that I am continuing to help others out through my letter writing to you. Anyways...enough about that!
 Mom got a bit of a break this morning. Mark took the pups downstairs and fed them and took them for their morning walk. I got downstairs and everything was done. I was surprised. I made breakfast, ate and did the clean up. I then ventured upstairs to make the bed, do a load of laundry, take a shower and then into my office I went. I had all intentions of starting to crack the books for my class but I didn't. Mom has felt a bit off today for some reason. Not sure why. Can't really put my finger on it at all. I am hoping to get some sun and exercise before dinner to feel better. We shall see. I think tonight will be all about relaxing, maybe a movie and then bed. Mark is definitely got a busy 2 more days of studying before the big exam on Thursday. Mom is going to do a few lessons in her studies. I have to get this course started and completed by fall. I have a few months but would like to take my time with it. 
 Aunt Beck called yesterday. We chatted for a bit. Things she said to me made Mom upset. She knew it would but she still wanted to tell me about it. I am glad she did. I am just not sure on how to handle things at this point. I think I need another day to sit on it before I say something. When I do it will not be pretty. Stay tuned for that! 
 Bob went to the doctors today. He got good news and not so good news. He has the start of COPD now. It is something that goes with his heart condition and does not go away once it is there. He doesn't understand that humidity and the sun is not his friend and it will make things worse for him. Meme and I were talking about that and he stormed in the house and started yelling at us. I told him to calm down. It is not our fault that this is happening and he can't just take it out on us. He ignored what I told him and he sat outside for 3 hours this afternoon and went in the pool. He needs to stop and do things that are good for him. He is an even bigger ticking time bomb now. 
 Mom just got a message from a friend. He asked me to call him if I could. He is the one I was helping out on Saturday as well. I told him I would. I know you understand Mom. We are helpers. We always have been. Mom will light your candle this evening but I have had one burning in my room all day long. I will whisper to you later tonight. Have fun while Mom sleeps. Come visit me if you can. I miss you more than ever and more than words. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live in my heart, mind, body and soul. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. It is the last day of June as well. Time is flying by. Please be with us, pumpkin. We need you to help us all stay safe and healthy. Thank you. Fly high and free. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. Until tomorrow...good night and sweet dreams later.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo 💙
