Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom is doing alright but I have to say I am still pretty tired. Haven't been getting a lot of sleep lately due to Princess being sick all night the last couple of evenings. Not sure what is going on with her though. We are keeping an eye out for her so don't worry. She isn't ready and neither is Mom ready for her to be with you. Mark was sick for a few nights as well and so was Meme. I didn't feel good for part of an evening but I was better in a few hours and Bob...he is never sick which is a good thing as he doesn't need anything added to his plate!

Mom is sorry that I didn't write to you yesterday but I was not in a good mood at all. Everything seemed to be against Mom. 3 packages were missing at the post office, my boxes still have not arrived yet and I ordered them almost 3 weeks ago, Mom got no where with her boxes yesterday or her classwork either. It was just a crap day. The hurricane didn't touch landfall until late last night and then it touched down 4 times. We had heavy heavy rain and wind. When Mom was making dinner, we were watching the news and saw that we were in a tornado warning for about 2 hours. That was scary again. We all did well through it but the coast got hammered. Some places were destroyed. Mom is praying for them. The weather today was very heavy rains again this morning and afternoon and now it is all dried up for the most part and it is muggy and warm. The sun is shining bright too. Hurricane season will be officially over at the end of this month. The weather will be cooler and drier until about mid-April. That is where the rainy season comes back again. I am glad that it is over with but I see that it is headed to the Carolinas now. Mom will be praying that it is not bad for them. Everyone needs a break. The Covid numbers are spiking everywhere again. This is now month 8. It is still very scary in this world. As  much as I would want you here with me, I am so glad that you do not have to deal with any of this my sweet precious son. 

Last night or this morning....not sure when really, Mom had a dream about Pepe. I got to see him and hear his voice that I haven't been able to hear in over 31 years. Mom was in my dream and so was our cousin Tony and Meme showed up at the end before I woke up. It make my heart smile. Today would have been his 102nd Birthday, I believe. I know he would be over 100 years young.... Please give him a big hug and kiss from me if you can. I miss you all so very much. I will light a candle and then the warmer for both of you tonight. I will whisper to you later this evening before I go to bed as well. Smile for me and I will smile back to you. 

Today, again, Mom has done nothing really. I spoke to Auntie Kristina as it is her Birthday today as well. I sent emails and made other calls as well. Tomorrow is Friday and I will be working on my boxes. It will be a busy day. I will not be going anywhere at all and I will be starting very early in the morning. Saturday is Magic Kingdom day for Mark and Mom so I am wanting a good night sleep as it opens at 8 am. We will leave here at 8 am and get there by 8:20 am. That way we can be there and leave early. Sunday will be a day of doing things around the house...cleaning and tending to the pool. Mom will sit outside in the sun as well. I will be looking forward to it. Tonight, we will make dinner and relax. I might take a bubble bath to relax too. I just hope we get some sleep. 

Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you and then on Sunday but not Saturday. Just know you will be talked about all day Saturday though. So much will remind Mom of you. It will make me laugh and smile and I am sure I will shed some tears too! 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. 

It is now going on 2:47 pm. I can get a little bit done of my boxes before it is time to start the night stuff. That will be helpful and not a complete day wasted again. Have fun tonight while I sleep and come visit Mom if you can. Please continue to watch over us and keep us safe and healthy. Thank you, pumpkin. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams later. 

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💛
