Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Mom is doing ok but I have to say that I am not feeling the greatest again and I am super tired for some reason. I woke up and felt good this morning but around 9 am or so that kind of changed. I had an appointment at 10:30 am and I almost cancelled it but I decided to go. I was so sick half way through the appointment. I had to excuse myself and go to the bathroom. That never happens at all. I was so glad to get out of there. I drove immediately home. I was hoping to go to a couple other stores but I decided against it. I am glad that I did. Mom got home and had some lunch and started drinking water and I am feeling better right now in a way but I am still very tired. I haven't done hardly anything this afternoon. I have been looking at product for my next box. I am really just not with it at all. I know that thunderstorms will be rolling in soon again. Seems like the pattern daily is between 3 pm to 8 pm. I guess that it is like this the entire month of August. Typical weather for Florida. This weekend will not be a good one again. It will be rainy all day long. If it is nice though I would love to go sit outside for a bit and get some sun. That would be really nice! Guess we shall just wait and see. I don't think that we are going anywhere either. I think it is just hanging out at home. That is fine by me.
 Today is August 7th. It would have been Great Grammy's 100th Birthday today. I know we all wish that she was here so that we could celebrate with her but instead she is celebrating up in the Heavens with you and the rest of her family and friends. I am sure there are a lot of laughter and fun. I can hear you all laughing right now. When you see her, Tyler, please give her a big hug and kiss from Mom. I miss my tough cookie 🍪 a lot. I miss you more than words can say. Mom posted on social media a sweet picture of Great Grammy and I wrote something to her. I saw a lot of butterflies today as well when I was out. I know she is around all the time. That is a comfort for Mom. I thank you both so much. 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. 
 Last night there was a huge storm. None of us felt like cooking so we decided to order pizza. We ate kind of late though. It was good but I guess Meme was sick all last night from it. That is not good. The renters have been quiet since the whole police ordeal so that is nice. At least we can sleep now. Hoping the silence stays that way for sure! Aunt Beck called last night. We spoke for about 30 minutes. It was a great conversation. Neither of us brought up anything to what is going on. She just asked how I was feeling, how Mark was doing and then we chatted about her clients....of course no names were mentioned. They are all doing well. Bean is too so that is good to hear. Oh yeah and I got my message from you... So like you to say what you did, Tyler. Glad to see you still have your humor!!! You were right though. Even though Mom was so sick and in pain... it still beat labor. You definitely got that correct. The message made me chuckle and it also validated for me that you do see what is going on. Thank you my sweet precious son. Please continue to give Aunt Beck messages for me when you can. 
 Not much will be going on tonight. Just the usual. Feeding the pups and then taking them for a walk. Eating dinner, cleaning up and then relaxing. I think Mom will be going to bed early tonight in hopes to get some good sleep. have fun tonight while I am sleeping and come visit me in my dreams again if you can. I am not sure if i will write to you over the weekend but I will try to. If Mom does, they will be short letters to you. I know I have to work on my box stuff so I am not sure.... I know you understand plus I had already mentioned that I would be taking weekends off from here. The letters would be 5 days a week now so that I have time to unwind and relax. The weekends could be a short letter to you and pictures. Mom will have to see. For now I am going to get going so that I can relax for a bit before the night routine has to start. I have a couple hours so a nap may be in my future!!! Until tomorrow comes or Monday....good night and sweet dreams. Mom will light your candle and whisper to you tonight so smile for me and I will smile back to you. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💛
