Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. I have been up and on the go since 6:30 am. I am a bit tired now but I am doing good. Last night was not a night I thought that it would be. I thought that it would be quiet like usual. Nope.... Aunt Beck called and I spoke to her, then she called Meme and they got into a bit of a tiff and then she was mad at me. The weather was crappy and raining so we didn't get to feed the pups until 6 pm and we didn't eat until 7 pm. After that was all done, Mom came upstairs and worked on her boxes until 8:45 pm. I finally crawled into bed, watched 1 show and then called it a night. I was up every 2 hours as well so very little sleep I got. Mom is hoping for a better nights rest tonight! 
 This morning the pups were fed, walked and then Mom went right upstairs to finish up the boxes and getting them ready. I finished that up, made the bed, showered and then took 2 calls before I could get out the door to go to the post office for 10 am. I then went to the grocery store, Walmart and then took Meme to a few gift shops as she was looking for a specific item. We got home after 1 pm. I made something to eat and then right to my office I went! It is 3 pm and I sent a couple emails and now I am writing to you. I wanted to get your letter in now as I feel that as the time gets later, Mom is getting more and more tired and I am in a need of a nap...lol. It sucks getting old, Ty! Mom is hoping that tonight will be all about relaxing as I sure could use it and then a good night sleep. Tomorrow is Friday and Mom has a hair appoint in the afternoon. I have to leave at 12 noon and I know I will not get back until 3 pm. I will write to you while I am under the dryer. That way I get my letter in to you while I am not doing anything. I know when I get home I will not be turning my computer on at all and then it is the weekend. Depending on the weather, Mom may take the weekend off from writing or if it is crappy weather then I will write you a short one. Not sure at this point. 
 Updates for you.... Aunt Donna's Dad, Ron is getting weaker by the day. Things are not looking good for him. I know they said 2-3 months but I don't think it is even going to be 2 weeks the way it is going. I pray for a nonpainful and peaceful passing. He deserves that as much as he has suffered. Aunt Donna is taking it really rough...rightfully so. Uncle Chris is not talking to me because he is angry that I can't be in NH for his wedding next month. He is not understanding that Mark has been furloughed for a month, got his job back for 2 months and we played catch up on bills then he was let go and after 1.5 months, he has a job but will not get paid until the end of this month and we have to play catch up again. He feels that I should be able to go still. I know if the shoe was on the other foot he would say they couldn't come and that would be the end of the story. Instead, he is trying to make me feel guilty. He told me he was going to stop following me on social media. I told him whatever.... I didn't care. He is no friend to me if he doesn't understand. Yes... I have known about the wedding for a year but Covid has played a huge part in this. Mark can't take any time off at all and we can't fly anywhere because if we do we can to self quarantine for 14 days and Mark can't do that either because of his job. we don't have 1800.00 to just blow for 3 days going up there and then back. It just isn't possible. I am sorry if no one understands but it is what it is. If he wants to delete me then he does....everyone else has so why not him too. Mom is just so over it. No one has bothered with me or has cared enough to get in touch with me in over a year so why bother now? Yes it hurt for a bit but I know I can say I did nothing wrong and I can walk away with my head held high! 
 Let's see what else.... Grandpa and Debbie were suppose to be arriving in 22 days but now I am not sure if that is happening. She messaged me a few days ago saying that Grandpa said that there was a lot that needed to be done at his house and maybe coming here was not a good idea. Then he changed his mind and said nothing to me. It sounded more like Debbie didn't want to come. Yesterday, Debbie said that they spoke to Johnny, the one who is driving them two and from the airport. He said he could bring them but he could not pick them up because of rules at his work. She has asked 3 or 4 people if they could do it and they all said no. So now it stands that they have a ride to go to the airport and come here but they have no way of getting from the airport and home when they leave. They said that they would ask a couple more people but after that they were out of options. Mom is pretty upset about this because they knew they needed to talk to Johnny and they waited until the last minute to do so. It all sounds like they did it on purpose. After everything that happened last year and the way it ended with Debbie and Mom telling Grandpa to stay there and not move here.... the deal was that I didn't see Grandpa just once a year and he agreed to that. They cancelled once already and pushed it 5 months back to now and if they don't come this time, by the time I see them it will be almost 2 years. Mom doesn't know how I am going to feel about it. I will be hurt, upset and I don't think I will talk to them for awhile. They will need to know that what they did is not okay. We will see though. I will be chatting with them tonight. Mom will keep you posted.
 I have good news! I have 1 box left before I sell out of the August Box and I am ready to take new subscribers for the October Box. I am beyond happy. everyone loves their box! It is such a wonderful feeling! I hope that all my subscribers will be happy with the next one as well and I can get more! I really want this business to grow and grow for me. I know I can do it! Mom will let you know when I sell out! Thank you for helping me along the way, Tyler. I know you are proud of your Mom. I wish you were here to celebrate all these things with me but I know you are in your own way. I miss you. I miss you more and more as the days turn into months and months turn into years. 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. I will light your candle later and I will whisper to you later tonight as well. Smile for me and I will smile for you. Have fun while I get some sleep. Come visit me in my dreams when you can. Mom will try to write to you tomorrow and over the weekend but if not, I will be back on Monday with another one. everyone is off as it is a long holiday weekend. It is Labor day. I sure hope that it stays quiet around here and it is not party central and loud. We don't need that! Tomorrow is Friday so that will tell us if it will be or not! Mom needs to do a few things before it is time to get things started for the night routine. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💛
