Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is doing okay but I have to tell you that I am extremely tired. I have been up since 5 am and I didn't go back to bed. I actually got up at 6:30 am and I took a shower and got ready. I fed the pups and walked them and then came inside and made breakfast for Mark and I. I was upstairs around 8:30 am and the bed was made and Mom took all the photos that I needed for my October Box and then I went to the website and put them all on there. I didn't know what I was doing as this was only my second time but I figured it out and I did it all on my own!!!It was pretty easy and now I know how to do it from now on and it won't take me long at all. As you would say " Your Mom is growing up."...LOL. I am trying. 

Yesterday was such a long and tiring day for Mom. I am so sorry for the short letter to you and no pictures as I was literally writing to you from soaking in the bath tub because I was that sore last night. The bath helped a lot but I was so sore still come this morning that I was very uncomfortable and I couldn't sleep. Mark was super tired last night too. He took a bubble bath after Mom and he fell right to sleep around 9 pm. He was snoring. I was watching tv but tonight I think it will be the other way around... Mom will be sleeping by 9 pm and I will be snoring...lol. Mark doesn't seem to be feeling well these past few days. He says that his sinuses feel blocked and his one side of his face feels off. I told him to call his doctor as I think he has the start of sinusitis. Meme and Bob are at each others throats for the last 4 days. It is getting tiring to listen to them all the time. I say nothing. I just walk away. I did however make a comment and told them to get it all out before Grandpa arrives in 5 days! I don't want them to have to listen to them the whole time they are here on vacation. Mark is tired of listening to it too! 

Tomorrow Mom will be taking the day and doing some serious house cleaning. I will be dusting and vacuuming all the floors and carpets and then mopping things up as well. Laundry will be done and then whatever else I have to do for housework. I will just have to do a little bit on Saturday and Sunday before they show up so the rest of the week will be chill for me and that is just what I need after a long good nights sleep tonight...lol! I am really glad that I don't have any appointments that I need to go to this week or I would be way over my head. The pups are doing well. They are with Mom in her office while I write to you. They are wanting their dinner and Mom has to make Mark and I dinner still. It is already after 5 pm. Mom will make sure to light your candle this evening while I am watching tv. I will whisper to you before I fall asleep tonight too. Smile for me when you hear my voice and I will be sure to give you a great big smile back. I miss you so dang much. I look at your pictures all the time and I weep. 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. Please watch over us and keep us all safe and healthy. Have fun while I sleep tonight and visit me in my dreams if you can. Thank you my sweet precious son.

Today is the 1st day of Fall. It is our favorite season. The days are warm and the nights are cooler. It is sweater weather. We would go apple picking, make all kinds of comfort meals, bake cookies and take long walks. It wasn't too hot for you or too cold. It was always just right. I miss our times together whether we were out doing something or we were just sitting at home. My life will never be the same. I have a big empty void that can never be replaced and it hurts like h*ll. Halloween is approaching too. Your favorite holiday so this time of the year Mom is more sensitive to everything. Next month I will be posting a Halloween theme picture daily. Pumpkins, candy, Jack, etc... enjoy them!!!

Mom needs to get going to make dinner and feed the pups. I will be back tomorrow though with another letter for you. Continue to do all the great things I know you are doing. Fly high and free pumpkin. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💖
