Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday late afternoon? Mom is doing alright but after the day I have had I am plum tuckered out. I have been up since 5:30 am because Mark got another work call and had to start working then. I couldn't fall back to sleep so I stayed awake. Mark has been working ever since so it has been a super long day for him as well. He is no longer on call which is an excellent thing. This past week for horrible for him. Last Saturday morning at 12 midnight to 3 am and then on Sunday morning at 12 midnight to 3 am and then this morning. Geesh.... I think the two of us will be sleeping pretty good this evening! 

The pups were fed and walked and then Mom came right upstairs to make the bed and get ready. I was out the door at 9:30 am. I was on an adventure and that I did take. The last few days were have been having issues with out ATM cards so Mom has been on the phone with the bank. Yesterday I tried at 2 different places and the today I had to go to a bank and then I tried 2 different grocery stores and then 5 other stores and nothing. I was back on the phone with the bank again and still nothing is straightened out. What a mess. Mark and Mom will be working on this over the weekend as we need these to actually work. We have groceries to buy and bills to pay and without these working, we can't do any of it. Mom got home at 1 pm. I have honestly been exhausted since. I have done a couple things since being back but that is about it. I have a lot of work ahead of me over the weekend. I have to reorganize my closet and I have to do all the housework...mopping, vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms, laundry, dusting, etc... One of the days I really want to chill out by the pool and just sit in the sun. It is going to be very hot again so I want to enjoy it! Mark will probably chat with his brothers and play his game for a bit while I do all the rest of the stuff. Errands need to be run as well...blah! Like I said it will be a very busy weekend ahead for us. Mom will try to write but no promises. Remember, I decided to take weekends off to help me relax. It does not mean I am not talking about you or thinking about you because that is the farthest from the truth. You are always on my mind. You are in my heart, mind, body and soul. 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. On Monday, Mom will be back to doing a few more lessons in her class and I promise to write to you as well. I hope that you send signs to let me know you are around me. I would love that. Mom will light a candle for you every night during the weekend and the aroma warmer during the late evening while we are watching tv. I sure hope that your days are filled with all the things that you need to do and want to do. Have fun during the nights while Mom is sleeping. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thank you. Please make sure to watch over us and keep us safe and healthy. Mom appreciates that so much. 

It is almost time to feed the pups and walk them. Mom needs to think of what to have for dinner as well. I will come up with something...lol. Oh yeah... our family is doing good but I have a feeling you already know that...lol. Mom's friends are still in very rough shape. I feel so bad. Mark and Mom will be putting together a goodie care package for them, their kids and their 2 pups. Maybe that will cheer them up! This Covid19 is no laughing matter and it seems from what my friends are telling me that it is a living nightmare. We are all still praying for them both and for everyone.

Mom has to close this letter now as it is after 5 pm. I miss you more than words can say. Until tomorrow comes.... good night and sweet dreams, pumpkin. I love you unconditionally.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 🎃💛🎃
