Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet precious son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is so sorry that I didn't write to you yesterday but I was so busy in the morning before I needed to leave for my appointment and then when I got home it was 2:30 pm and I made it just in time for a call that I needed to take. That lasted until 4:30 pm. After all that was said and done it was time to go feed the pups and then cook dinner for Mark and I. Mom did all that too and during dinner Mark was sick. I cleaned everything up and headed upstairs for the night so I could help him if he needed anything. Mom watched tv in bed for the evening and fell asleep around 10:30 pm. It was a crazy day for sure and today has been nothing less of crazy as well. Mom was up at 7 am. Fed the pups and took them for their walk. I changed over the calendar that we have downstairs and then I came upstairs. I had all intentions of making the bed, taking a shower and then starting my day. That did not happen. I came into my office to do a few things and then there were emails, phone calls to make and then I decided to start typing out my October Listing for my box but every time I got into it, meme or Bob would come in and need something. I basically needed to do things today and I did sh*t because I was doing for everyone else but what I needed...story of my life. I am trying to write to you and they still keep coming in and disturbing me....ugh. I just want 5 minutes to myself so that I can write to you in peace. I don't think that is going to happen. Anyways....

It is already going on 5 pm. I have to feed the pups, walk them and then decide what we are having for dinner tonight. I haven't a clue and I am really not hungry at all. I do know that I am going to take a long bubble bath later and have a glass of wine before I crawl into bed and watch tv before falling asleep. Maybe this will help me relax! 

Mark has been working like crazy at his 2 jobs and it is only going to get crazier. He is so busy and I am afraid that he is going to burn himself out and get sick again. I pray that he doesn't and I pray that he can do all this. He has been busy on the phones today, all day long. It is finally quiet now though which means he is almost done work for the first job and has a break for dinner and then has to work at his 2nd job until it is time to go to bed. He looks forward to Friday's and the weekends now.... lol. So doesn't Mom because that is the only time I really see him anymore. 

Not much for updates but I do have a couple for you. Auntie Donna's Dad's services are tomorrow afternoon and then the cemetery on Friday. Mom wishes that I could be there for it but I can't. My heart hurts for everyone. I can only imagine that Ron is up there or wherever he chooses to be and he is flying high and free. No sickness anymore and he is so happy! That is what I picture for him...just like I have always pictured that with you and all our family and friends that are with you now. We miss you and everyone so much. Mom misses you like crazy 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. 

Grandpa had his procedure yesterday afternoon. Poor Grandpa had a rough night Monday prepping for the procedure though. He is doing well and he got a clean bill of health. He doesn't have to go through anymore of them which is wonderful news! Mom was so happy to hear this... I just sat here and cried happy tears. I know that Grandpa was relieved as well! 

Haven't heard from Aunt Beck at all. I know that she is probably busy and she is still angry with Meme. Who knows. I will assume that she is well though. I will touch base with her later in the week to say hello. I know she and John will be leaving for Arizona soon...Maybe 3 weeks for the next 3 months. They are finally going to go and paint their new home there and stay and get to know the area. that is excellent for them. They will be away from the cold and some snow for a bit. I think they will be back in late January so they will still see the winter for a little bit. We never hear from Bean. I spoke to her on Christmas and that was the last time. I always ask about her but nothing else. Sad but such is life. You make time for the ones you care about. Mom just can't be the only one doing it all the time though. Just not happening anymore. I know you watch over us all and I thank you for that. Please continue to watch over us and keep us safe and healthy. Thank you my sweet precious son!

Mom needs to get going now. It is after 5 pm and the pups need feeding. I will light your candle later this evening and I will whisper to you tonight. Smile when you hear me and I will smile back to you. have fun while I sleep and come visit me in my dreams if you can. I would love that. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then...good night and sweet dreams later.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💖
