Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is doing alright but I have to say that watching this election is a sure "nail biter". The race is really close. Mom is predicting that her choice for President will lose the election this time. It is not looking good at all but it is still a close race and both candidates should be proud of themselves. Mom is worried that if the one in the lead wins it...this country is in trouble for sure. It will be like when Obama was in office. He hurt this country and this new one is following right in his footsteps. If the Democratic side wins then so be it but I will be the first one to speak up when something happens and goes wrong in this country. I will be damned if I will listen to all that voted for him to whine and boo hoo about things. I will throw it in all their faces saying they have no right to b*tch because they voted him in...not me. Mom hates to be this way but it is the truth. People who I thought were my friends have deleted me because of our different opinions. That is foolish and only shows me that they were never my friend and also showed me their true colors. It hurts but it is what it is. 

Last night was pretty quiet. Mom made dinner and then we sat and watched the election for 6 hours. At 12 midnight, I finally told Mark to turn the tv off and go to bed. I was exhausted just listening to it. I think tonight we will not focus on that and just watch straight tv. I think Mom needs a break. I know the outcome now and I am not bitter that who I voted for isn't going to win... I just don't want to hear all the gloating and more arrogant attitudes. Mom fears for this country and I will bet that there will be a war in the US...it will be a Civil War and it will not be pretty. Many people are saying the same thing. It is scary. We have enough going on in this world to add something like this. Mom prayed that the right man would win. I guess that God knows best. 

Tonight will be an early night as Mark is off to the office again in the morning for the whole day. He goes Tuesdays and Thursdays from now one. His contract stops in February and I don't think he will stay on with them if they ask him to. He doesn't want to travel and he has another job that has him traveling too. It will be too much for him to do all these jobs. I will tell you about the newest one in another letter. 

Mom went out this morning and thought I would get the last items I needed to complete my boxes for December but I didn't. I went to get Christmas Cards and candy and the store I went to did not have any Christmas stuff up at all. I asked an employee where it all was and he said that this store was considered a tourist store so there are no seasonal items....wow! That shocked me. I have never heard of such a thing. So now Mom is on the hunt this weekend to finish everything up. I came home and went right to studying. I finished Lesson 13 and then started on Lesson 14. I am 1/2 way finished. I will finish that one up and then I am on to Lesson 15 which is the last one before the Projects and Final Exam. Hopefully tomorrow the pups will be quiet so that I can study. I will start first thing in the morning and then do it all afternoon. I will write to you later in the afternoon like I am now. It gives me that break before I need to start the dinner things and plus my hand hurts from all the writing...lol

I hope that your evening is everything that you need it to be and want it to be. have fun while I get sleep tonight. Come visit me if you can. I will whisper to you later this evening before I fall asleep. Smile for me and I will smile to you. I miss you so much. 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.

Mom has a few things to do before dinner tonight. Please watch over us, Ty and keep us in your loving care. Keep us safe and healthy. Thank you. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams. Continue to spread your wings and fly high and free my sweet precious son! 

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💖
