Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday evening? Mom is able to write to you briefly before we get this nasty storm that they are talking about. It seems that we get one every night around this time or later. Wish they were during the day where we could help the pups through it. I am sorry that I didn't write to you yesterday but I didn't have a clue that Mark took vacation days this week. We actually spent the entire day outside swimming and lounging by the pool. We came in just in time to get dinner for the pups, walk them and then make dinner for ourselves before it turned 7:30 pm. We came upstairs at 8 pm and then watched tv until 9:30 pm and called it a night. Mom slept until 3 am and I woke up from a dream. I had a hard time getting back to sleep but I did after 4:30 am until 6:15 am when the pups woke me up. Mark had day two of his PTO. We were wanting to go out, come home and then go in the pool but it didn't turn out that way at all. We did go out with Meme and Bob for a bit, came home and Mark has been sick ever since. Mom went in the pool but Mark never got to. He has basically been in the bathroom all afternoon and still is. Not sure what is going on with him but I will be watching him closely. I think tonight will be an early night of doing nothing at all but letting him relax and sleep if he needs to. I have a couple movies to watch if I am not tired. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for him. We will probably make it a day of pool time and sitting outside if it is not too hot. Mom did not stay in the pool for long at all. I got an alert on my phone that it said that we had a heat index of 115 degrees. I believe it because it was mighty hot out there. I was by myself as well so that really isn't any fun. I did some laps and exercises and called a day. Right now everyone is waiting on Mom to finish up my letter to you so that we can go grill hamburgers this evening for dinner. I hope Mark will be able to eat and feels better after. 
 Not much at all for updates from our family. I haven't heard anything in about a week or so. I will update you when I know of anything. No news is good news, right??? Everything here is a mess. It a cluster of issues. It has got us all stressed out to the max. Mom sure could use your help my sweet precious son. There is a lot of talking that needs to get done again and what to do going forward from here. Mom will keep you posted as I know of things. I know you watch over us all, all the time and for that I am so blessed and thankful. I promise to write to you tomorrow at a descent time and a longer letter as well. The pups need to be fed and walked before the storm hits and that looks like it is going to hit us very soon. Hope it doesn't last long at all. I will light your candle this evening and whisper to you before I go to bed tonight. Have fun while I sleep and come visit Mom in my dreams if you can. I miss you so much and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You live in my heart, mind, body and soul. You are and always will be the wind beneath my wings and my forever hero. Continue to do good things wherever you my be. Fly high and free and send me your signs when you can. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams, Tyler. I love you.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah ❤
