These are my letters to Tyler. They are the conversations that we would have on a daily basis. We can't do that any more. In some small way, this is my tribute to my son and probably my way of healing. Every night we would talk about everything. I can still do that, and I know he's listening.

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? It is already 3:30 pm and at times this day seems to be dragging and other times it seems to be going by quickly. Mom has not been productive at all today. I have not done anything that I wanted to do in my office. I guess it is just an off day for me and I can't get my head out of my *ss today at all. I have been up since 7 am but I didn't sleep well at all. I was up every 2 hours. I am pretty tired today so I know that this evening will be a fairly early one for Mom.
Mark was up early and out of the room even before I could get out of bed. I think he was having "first day jitters" for his new job. He started at 9 am and he has been on the phone all day long. I bet he will be pretty tired as well. He has come in my office once today at noon time. I am anxious to hear about his day! I guess I will have to wait for another 90 minutes as it will be 5 pm and I am hoping that he is able to stop work. We are not sure of his hours at all just yet. I will get the low down later this evening. The pups have been pretty quiet and tired all day long. Meme and Bob have been between upstairs in their spare room or downstairs doing whatever. I know they will be eating dinner shortly as they usually do during the week days. They will eat, come upstairs for a couple hours and then take Rocky out for his night walk and then they go to bed by 7:30 pm. That is their routine 7 days a week. Doesn't matter if it is a weekend or holiday or special day...they do that all the time. It is hard for Mark and I because we feel we can't do anything at night because we think we will wake them up or be too loud. It really sucks in a way. Selling this house and getting a smaller one is looking better all the time for us. We talked about it over the weekend. Our goal is to save as much money as we can and this time next year, we are looking to sell and down size. We do not need a big house like this and it is time for Meme and Bob to be on their own. At that point we will have lived here for 2 years and they know their way around where they like to go shopping and such. mark and Mom need to have our own space. We don't care if they live next to us at all...that is fine but we need separate places. Rocky needs to be a dog and not always carried or behind a gate like he is. Meme is still not letting him down around our pups. It has been 2 months now since Rocky has come to live here and still nothing has changed. They won't leave him here if they have to go out. They take him everywhere with them. It is great that he is loved, spoiled and treated wonderful from what he was used to but he still needs to be near ours. That is never going to happen so I just feel that separate homes will be the best for us all. Mom is getting really tired of cleaning up after everyone just to have them dirty it all again in a matter of a couple hours. It is too much for me to do on my own along with school and the new business. I have to clean up after myself, Mark and the 2 pups of ours. I can't be cleaning up after two more adults and another dog. There is no reason why Meme can't clean but she doesn't. Long story that I do not want to get into. Anyways... Mom rarely has time for herself to do things that I want to do where everyone else has all kinds of time and after 1 year, I am tired of it and nothing is changing and quite frankly I know nothing ever will so it is time for me once again to make those changes. I am okay with it too. Mom is already starting to look for different places now. We have 9 months but that will go by pretty dang fast! I will keep you updated as things progress!
Mom has no updates at all for you. I haven't heard from Aunt Beck in a few weeks. Last time she called she spoke to Meme, not me. I am going to assume that things are well and she is just pretty busy. I spoke to Grandpa Saturday night. He called to tell me that a friend of Meme's had passed away from a brief illness. I knew her. We did the Relay For Life together. She was a very nice lady and she will be missed by many. We also spoke about their upcoming trip. They are getting excited to come...well Grandpa is...Debbie...not so much. She doesn't like to fly at all. Mom has made dinner reservations for us all on their Anniversary and also for Debbie's Birthday. We will be going to the Magic Kingdom and one other theme park of their choice plus Old Town and Disney Springs a couple times. During the day Mom will be showing them around the area as well. There will be days where we just lounged by the pool as well. All in all it should be fun filled days with them. Mom is looking forward to it.
It is going on 4:45 pm and you know what time that is.... it is time for Mom to get her butt in gear and get things finished up so that in 20 minutes I can go downstairs and feed the pups and then take them for their walk and get dinner going for Mark and I. later it will be snuggling up and relaxing. It will also be early to bed for Mom as tomorrow I am gone most of the day. I have a hair appointment at 10:30 am and then right after I have a nail appointment at 1 pm. I will be leaving here about 10 am and not getting home until after 3 pm. It will be a long day for sure. The rest of the week will be studying and hopefully selling out on my last 3 boxes. Help me out, pumpkin. Mom needs 3-4 more subscribers and I will be sold out of my August Boxes. I was hoping to get some over the weekend or today but nothing. I need to get some this week. If there is anything you can do to help me that would be super! Mom would appreciate 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 wings. Forever you live in my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will write to you when I am under the dryer getting my hair done tomorrow as after that I will be tired when I get home and my computer will not be on at all. have fun tonight while I sleep and come visit me in my dreams if you can. I will light your candle this evening and I will whisper to you later so smile for Mom and I will smile back to you my sweet precious son. Please continue to watch over us. Keep us safe and healthy. Thank you. Mom needs to go for now so until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💖

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday late afternoon? Mom is alright today! My tummy is giving me a bit of grief but that is because I have ate so much today. In fact, Mom has eaten more than I normally do and I am ready to take a nap. I just had to get up and walk around so that I wouldn't fall asleep. That is pretty bad!
It is really quiet around here right now. The pups are sleeping, Meme and Bob are in there room probably watching tv and on the computer and mark is taking a bit of time and playing a game with his brother. He will be done that by 5 pm so that we can feed the pups and get dinner going for ourselves. Meme and Bob will be eating shortly now as it is after 4 pm.
Last night was a super rough night for Mom. My side of the face hurt so bad that I developed a wicked headache. I suffered through it for a few hours and then decided to put my aromatherapy pillow on my face and that helped me so much. I did that for about an hour. I took it off when I was tired enough to go to sleep but the pain came right back. I eventually fell asleep and woke up a few times during the night. Today is better. I have a tiny headache and some pain but nothing compared to last night so I am not even going to complain or mention it at all! Mom is hoping for a better night tonight. One that I can just relax and then get a good nights sleep. We shall see! I have my aromatherapy pillow all set though just in case!
Mom's friend that I asked to be my brand rep for my business put his video out yesterday. I watched it last night. It was amazing. I laughed so much and he did such an amazing job! The video was up in just 30 minutes and Mom got a new subscriber. I was so happy! I have 3 boxes left! I am psyched. I hope by the weekend I sell out of them! My fingers are crossed that is for sure! Mark watched the video with me and he really liked it too! I think this is going to be a wonderful partnership and friendship with him and I. I am so proud of everything that I have been doing. I know that you are proud of me too! I know you are with me every step of the way even though I can't see you. Thank you my sweet precious son.
Mom wanted to take a few minutes to talk about some very sad news. First off, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone that has been effected by Hurricane Laura. Louisiana got hit really really hard. It was a Cat 4 and it destroyed so much. Mom knows that what happened in that state would have happened to us in Florida if it had not turned. My heart hurts for everyone. If is even tougher with the pandemic still going on. Mom will be continuing to say prayers for all. The second thing I wanted to tell you is that I spoke to Auntie Donna last night. Things are not good with her Dad, Ron. They went to the doctors yesterday and he is terminal. They can't do anything for him. They gave him 2-3 months at the most. Hospice is in place for him now. I know that he is really confused with his dementia and he is in a lot of pain. I know what is coming for him and I can only hope that he has a quick and peaceful passing. My heart breaks for the family. Ron is such a sweet man. Mom wishes that she lived closer so that I could be with Auntie Donna during this time. Please be with her while she goes through this whole painful ordeal. Thank you. Mom will be checking in on them during the weekend. I will be strong for her as she will need that.
Not much on the agenda for this weekend. I think this weekend and next weekend are going to be hell in plain english. I think that it is going to be very busy and the renters are going to raise hell. I am not looking forward to that. I guess these 2 weekends are the roughest as it is Labor Day Weekend next week. Mom will just call the Sheriffs if things get out of hand. That is all I can do. I am hoping to be wrong and that maybe things will be quiet around here. It usually gets busy around 6 pm on Fridays. That is when everyone comes in and gets settled. The weather is suppose to be rainy again on Saturday but Sunday may look good. Maybe we can sit out by the pool and relax for a bit. Mom will probably write to you short letters over the weekend as you know I usually take the weekends off. We will see. I have had a candle lit for you all day again. Tonight I will have your aroma warmer on. I will whisper to you later this evening as well so smile for Mom when you hear me and I will smile back to you. I hope you have fun while I sleep. Please come visit if you can. Please watch over us all too. Keep us safe, healthy and happy. Thank you, Tyler. It means so much to me. I miss you like the stars miss the sky at night. 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 in my heart, mind, body and soul. It is almost 4:30 pm so it is almost that time for Mom to get the night routine going. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams.

Thursday, August 27, 2020
Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom is alright but today has just been an off day for me. I have been awake since 6 am and I have been tired all day long. Mark and Mom were supposed to go sit by the pool all day and enjoy the sunshine. Mark vacuumed and skimmed the pool while I was working on my box business and by the time he was finished it was 12 noon and he had an interview. After that, the clouds rolled in and it started to rain not long after. It is not raining anymore but the sky is all cloudy. Mark is in his office and Mom is finishing things up in mine before it is time to go downstairs and cook dinner. Meme and Bob are having dinner right now. They usually have it around 4:30 pm. They stay downstairs until we get down there and then they come upstairs until 7 pm when they take rocky out for the last time. They don't visit with us then either...they go out and then head right back upstairs until they decide it is time for them to go to bed. We feed the pups, take them for their walk, Mom makes dinner and then I do the clean up from ours and Meme's as she doesn't seem to think she needs to clean up after them. After that, we sit downstairs for a bit, watch a little tv and then we head upstairs around 8:30 pm. We get the pups settled and then Mom is either on the phone with Grandpa or we watch a bit more of tv and then call it a night ourselves. That is the usual routine for us during the week days and on the weekends it is fair game to whatever we want to do. This is Mark's last day before he goes back to work on Monday. I sure hope he is going to like it. I have my doubts though as I have heard him on the phone chatting to either friends or his brothers. I know that he will do the work so that there will be a paycheck but I have a feeling that he will only stay at this position for as long as he has to or until something else comes along. Mom is still crossing her fingers that something full time comes through for him and not just contract positions. These type of positions are less money and have no benefits at all for us for medical. He is still hoping for the job that he really wants. Mom is just hoping for something where he will be happy at. Stayed tuned for updates on this subject!
We have heard nothing from the mechanics about his vehicle. This is not okay. They were suppose to call with a quote on how much and we have heard nothing. He is going to have to call them tomorrow as it will be day 3 that they have had it. Mom just thinks that is strange! Who knows...it is probably just me and the way I am feeling about today. Mom had a subscriber cancel her subscription. It had nothing to do with my box...she needed to cancel all her boxes so she could save money. I was bummed out. I understand as I have had to do that before but I guess I took it personally. I am just starting out. I need more subscribers...not ones that are going to cancel! I did have a gal who was interested in the box as well but when she got to the checkout she said the shipping was too steep for her. I get that but Mom is using the cheapest rate right now. I can't help it and I am not in a position where I can cover some of the cost either.... this is so frustrating to me. I could be completely sold out now but I am not. Guess today is just not my day at all.
Mom has to go now and cook dinner for us and feed the pups. It is that time of the evening. It is after 5 pm and the pups are going nuts! Mom has had a candle burning for you all day and I will have the warmer going downstairs for you as well. Have fun while I sleep and come visit me in my dreams if you can. I miss you so dang much. My heart hurts all the time. 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. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Smile for me tonight when I whisper to you and I will smile back. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams.

Wednesday, August 26, 2020
Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is doing alright I suppose! The sun is out and it is hot hot hot here! I think the heat index puts us over the 105 degree mark for today! I will take it as I saw a post this morning that said Claremont, NH was only 18 degrees this morning...nope...not for me anymore! I will take the heat and the humidity over that stuff! I think they said that the other day didn't get over 64 degrees. That is not normal for this time of year of there but with everything going on...what exactly is normal anymore???
This morning we were up at our usual time. We fed the pups and took them for a nice walk. Then we came in and Mom got ready right off. We took Mark's vehicle down to the mechanics to get looked at and see how much it will cost to get fixed again...ugh. I took the pups with me so that they could go for a short ride. They did so good! Got back, had breakfast and then scooted up to my office. I have done some things but today has been a day of doing a whole lot of nothing! It is just one of those days where you know you need to do so much but yet you don't want to or have the energy to do it...yup today is that day! I have made a couple calls and have done a few emails so the day isn't completely wasted! Tomorrow, Mark and I are going to take the whole day and not do anything. I will probably be writing to you either in the morning or later in the evening. We are going to vacuum the pool and go swimming as we have not sat outside or swam in 8 weeks due to all the rain that we have been having. It will just be nice not to have to do anything and just sit outside and enjoy the warm air. I am so looking forward to it! Mom's tan needs work as it is fading but I am sure after tomorrow it will be right back to where it was. I am okay with this! Tonight, Mom will be making dinner. Pot pies over rice and homemade biscuits in on the menu! after that it will be an evening on relaxing and just doing nothing. I want to go to bed fairly early so that we can get up early to start our day! Mom will be sure to have your candle warmer on downstairs and then light your candle upstairs for a bit before we go to bed. Mom will whisper to you later this evening before I go to bed as well. Smile for me and I will smile to you my sweet precious son.
Mom is praying for all those folks that live in Texas and Louisiana. They are going to be getting a Cat 4 hurricane either tonight and tomorrow. It is suppose to make landfall. They are saying 140 mph winds with this storm. My heart is with those that we know in Texas and everyone else. The hurricane looked like it was going to hit us as of Sunday but we are very lucky that it took a different path. we now have lost count of all the tropical storms/hurricanes that have come through this year since June. We have 3 more months of it still before we are cleared for this year. Fingers are crossed that we don't get hit at all. Looks like we are going to get hit with a thunderstorm tonight though. It is getting pretty dark out there. Our sweet neighbors moved today. They helped Mom and Mark out so much when we moved here last year. They have been our rocks since we have been here too. They got tired of all the crap here and found a buyer and they moved out. They are lucky. I wish them all kinds of luck in their new home but I sure do miss them already. I spoke to them today. Their new home is super cute and it will be so much quieter for them there. Mark and Mom are hoping that this time next year it will be our turn to get out of this place. It is awful here. We would have never thought this place was so evil. Such nasty and mean people. It was not like this a year ago. It has only gotten this way since May when the ban was lifted for renters to return. They are so mean and disrespectful. It is nasty. We need to be in a place where there are home owners and no renters. I think then we can be content and happy again. There are a certain few that make everyone's lives here hell and they bully people. So childish! I know that you will help us out any way that you can with this issue. I know you want what is best for us all. Thank you, pumpkin! I will keep you updated on everything.
It is that time of the day. It is 4:30 pm. Meme and Bob are eating and Mom and Mark will go downstairs in a bit to feed our pups and then walk them before the storm hits us. Then Mom will cook dinner for us and we will watch a bit of tv before coming back upstairs. have fun tonight while I am sleeping and come visit me if you can in my dreams. I miss you more than words. 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 in my heart, mind, body and soul. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams later.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💚
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is doing alright I suppose! The sun is out and it is hot hot hot here! I think the heat index puts us over the 105 degree mark for today! I will take it as I saw a post this morning that said Claremont, NH was only 18 degrees this morning...nope...not for me anymore! I will take the heat and the humidity over that stuff! I think they said that the other day didn't get over 64 degrees. That is not normal for this time of year of there but with everything going on...what exactly is normal anymore???
This morning we were up at our usual time. We fed the pups and took them for a nice walk. Then we came in and Mom got ready right off. We took Mark's vehicle down to the mechanics to get looked at and see how much it will cost to get fixed again...ugh. I took the pups with me so that they could go for a short ride. They did so good! Got back, had breakfast and then scooted up to my office. I have done some things but today has been a day of doing a whole lot of nothing! It is just one of those days where you know you need to do so much but yet you don't want to or have the energy to do it...yup today is that day! I have made a couple calls and have done a few emails so the day isn't completely wasted! Tomorrow, Mark and I are going to take the whole day and not do anything. I will probably be writing to you either in the morning or later in the evening. We are going to vacuum the pool and go swimming as we have not sat outside or swam in 8 weeks due to all the rain that we have been having. It will just be nice not to have to do anything and just sit outside and enjoy the warm air. I am so looking forward to it!

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. I was up early this morning. Pups were fed and walked and then Mom didn't relax for long as I made the bed and got ready and was done by 9 am. I was out the door going to the grocery store, the post office and then I did a few errands and ran around to about 3 stores at two ends of where we live. Meme went with me as well. We were home at 12 noon. I put everything away and then came upstairs to do a few things and then I started looking around on my computer for things for my December Box. I got tired of that and Mom was watching a youtube video and I guess I fell asleep. Mark came in and woke me up. That was about 15 minutes or so ago. I guess the heat and going out got to me as I was totally zonked. I feel okay but I am just tired. Today is so hot and humid. It is 97 degrees and it feels like over 105 with the heat index. It is brutal out there. Mark has been on the phone all day long and Meme and Bob have been in there room. It has been super quiet though. Mark told me that he was offered a second job. He was excited as this is just for a couple of months but it is good money that we can just tuck away. That is always good. He also said that he saw that his old job at his old company was posted. He was being a smart *ss and he applied for it...lol. He won't get a call for it but if he did he would not go back either. He just thought it was rather amusing. Not much else is going on here. Mom is busy with getting things set for her next set of boxes in October. I need to be on top of this as I will loose 2 weeks when Grandpa is here for vacation so what Mom is trying to do is get everything all set so that I can curate the boxes and stack them up in the closet for the time being. I will flag them with the persons name so that when the time comes, I only have to print the labels off and then send them to the post office. It shouldn't be too bad. I think I have a good handle on it! The rest of the time, Mom is going to try and work in school. I think with Mark working 2 jobs starting on Monday, Mom will have more time during the evening to dedicate to her school or to her business...either way I will have enough to keep myself busy.
I haven't heard from anyone lately. Aunt Beck must be super busy. Grandpa rarely calls Mom. I usually have to call him if I want to chat. I think he feels that it is easier that way. I have heard no news on Uncle Dick or Auntie Donna's Dad, Ron. I will follow up with everyone later this week or over the weekend. I will catch you up when I know of things.
Mom is going to make a nice dinner tonight and then do all the clean up. I think after that we will have a night to just watch tv or relax. Mark's back and side is still bothering him so we won't be doing all that much. He soaked in the tub last night for a bit and said that it helped a little. he might do that again this evening. I think Mom will be going to bed early as I am still pretty tired. I thought I slept last night but maybe I didn't. I know I was up a few times but I thought I fell right back to sleep. Who knows but Mom knows that she is tired!!!! Getting old sucks, Ty....lol! Mom will make sure to have a candle burning for you this evening. I will whisper to you later tonight as well. Have fun while Mom is sleeping. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thank you my sweet precious son. I miss you more than anything in this world that I live in. 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 in my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter. I need to get going for now as I just received a message about my boxes. I need to address this right now. I know you understand. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💖

Dear Tyler,
Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is doing good today. My mouth is still a bit sore but it is better than yesterday so I will take it! Mark seems to be doing better as well so that I a good thing too! Mom has been busy since the crack of dawn. I woke up to another new subscriber and another one later in the day. That is 3 more in 2 days. I have officially only 5 boxes left and I will be sold out for the very first month! It really is unbelievable to Mom that this is happening. I am so excited of what will come in future months for my business. All day today I have been to the post office to ship boxes, I have wrote out thank you cards, sent emails, texted back and forth, made calls and packed up 3 more boxes to ship out tomorrow morning. It is now 4:05 pm and I am just getting done doing everything. It is crazy how fast today went by. Mark has been super busy as well. he is on the last few days of his unemployment as he starts his new position on Monday! He is ready and eager. I think that the last month he has definitely been bored! Meme and Bob went out for a bit this morning and then they were back home a couple hours later. They have been pretty quiet all day. Meme has been downstairs while Bob has been on his computer. He is back into collecting his baseball cards again. He just bought a ton of them over the past month. Cards, topp loaders, soft sleeves to put them all in. I can see that he is getting bored with it again already. It is difficult to have OCD... Obsession Compulsive Disorder. You get hooked on something for a period of time and then get bored with it. You then jump to something new and the cycle repeats itself. So far in less than 1 year, we have seen Bob go through 4 or 5 times now. It is very hard to watch that is for sure along with everything else that he deals with. meme is Meme. She gets frustrated very easy with him. She is just not a happy person at all. She never goes anywhere without the pup unless I am driving. The 4 of us have not been anywhere in over 2 months and it will never happen again as long as we all live together because she will not leave the pup here alone. For her to get this pup, she gave up her life and also what was left of Bob's. It doesn't have to be that way as Rocky is such a sweet boy but she is determined that it does have to be this way. I gave up trying as there was no use. Meme is set in her ways and that is that. It will be interesting though when Grandpa and Debbie are here and we are going to the theme parks, out to dinner, etc...and they are staying behind. She is not going to like that but there is nothing I can do about it. This is the reason that Mom has been trying so hard to get through to her but nope. Anyways... I spoke to Grandpa last night. The medicine that he was given has worked really well. He doesn't have but only 2 days left on it though. He is not going to go to PT. He is not sure where it will be and he is not sure of the building with Covid19, etc.... I understand that but what he needs to know is that if he doesn't do PT then it will be automatically a surgery. I didn't want to argue with him so I just closed my mouth. They are 33 days before they get here! Mom can't wait! I don't think Debbie really wants to come but she has no choice now. I hope the weather is good for them while they are here. Lots of sun and very little rain! In the next few days, Mom is going to try and come up with things we can do while they are here. I know that Old Town, Disney Springs, Magic Kingdom are on the list along with showing them around the area and probably a lot of shopping and relaxing by the pool. BBQing will be happening as well! It has been almost 11 months since I have seen them. I miss Grandpa so much! Mom misses you too. 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 in my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will light your candle this evening. I will whisper to you before I go to bed as well. Smile when you hear Mom and I will smile back to you my sweet precious son. Have fun tonight while I am getting sleep. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. It is going on 4:30 pm and Mom has some things that I need to get done before it is time to feed the pups and do the night routine. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams.
