 Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday evening? Mom is doing alright. Today is December 25th...that is right, it is Christmas Day so Merry Christmas to you in Heaven. Mom has been pretty busy all day long. It is 8:40 pm and I am just getting around to writing to you . I am completely exhausted though but I couldn't skip a letter to you on Christmas Day. This letter will be short but I will write you a longer one tomorrow....I promise. Mom did not get to sleep until after 2 am. The renters around here were partying and drinking, playing loud music and lighting fireworks off. The pups were scared and the partying was right on both sides of us this time. Mom is so sick of the renters here. They are so disrespectful and I can not wait to move out of this place. Everyone finally stopped at 2 am or at least that is when I finally fell asleep just to get up by 7 am. The pups were fed and walked and then Mom immediately started making homemade muffins for breakfast. We did our gift exchange and cleaned up and then everyone kind of treated it like a regular Friday afternoon. Meme went into her room and watched tv while Bob fell asleep all afternoon. Mark put his gifts away and so did Mom. We all made the phone calls we needed to and then at 3 pm Mom went downstairs and started prepping our dinner. As I got that done, Bean called. It was so nice to hear from her. She and Justin are doing well. I told her that I would call her on Sunday for her Birthday. Once I was off the phone with Brandy, our dinner was done and Mom had to get everything set. We ate dinner, I cleaned up and did all the dishes. We fed the pups, walked them again and then we started to play poker. We ended poker at 8 pm. Mom cleaned up the dessert dishes again and then Meme and Bob went to bed. Mark is in the bedroom with the pups while I write to you from my office computer. I told him I would be about 20 minutes. We are going to watch a movie and then crash. Hopefully after the 2 calls to the police on the 2 houses this evening, they will be quiet tonight but I have my doubts. Anyways....The winner of our poker game this evening was Bob. The prize for $50.00 cash. He was happy! We were happy for him. The last hand before us quitting, Mom won with a straight. Too bad it wasn't for the win...oh well! Maybe next time. I am glad Bob won though. He rarely has money ever and he can go buy something that he wants. We all had a nice Christmas. We got some really nice gifts from one another. It was a very quiet day but it was like that everywhere that we called...well everywhere except here where we live that is. These 2 houses have at least 30+ people in them...way over capacity that is for sure but no one cares. They live in Florida too. They decided to come here and gather instead of staying home like the rest of us had to. This is exactly the reason why the Covid is not going away at all. No one has any respect for others. It is disgusting and Mom lets it be known that they are the reason. I don't hold my tongue. I say exactly what is on my mind. I don't care. No one cares about us....Even as I type to you, I can hear someone around us is playing very loud music. I shouldn't hear a thing. Again... Mom can not wait to move out of this sh*t hole. It used to be super nice and now... it is a trash pit. In 3 months, Mark and Mom will start looking for new places and it can't get here fast enough. I know you will be with us when that time comes and we are looking. Mom thanks you.

We all spoke to Mark's side of the family...his brothers, his Dad and StepMom, close family friends and Mom spoke to Aunt Beck, Bean, Grandpa, Debbie, Auntie Kristina and made several text and messages to fiends as well. All in all it was a busy but quiet day in this house like Mom said above. This year was hard. So many were left home alone with no one to be with. Some were facing this day without family members...members that they lost. So much us all or will many still be struggling? Time will tell for all these things but for today it doesn't make it any easier on us. We all fear the unknown and it makes many scared, anxious and even angry. Christmas this year for so many was completely different. It is suppose to be the merriest and happiest time and pretty much it was anything but.

I know that Mom missed you like crazy. 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 put the warmer on when I get into the bedroom. I will whisper to you like I always do. Smile for me and I will smile to you. Have fun while I get some much needed sleep. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thank you. Please continue to keep us safe and healthy. I know you watch over Mom and the rest of us. Thank you my sweet precious son. Mom needs to get going for now but I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you and I will fill you in on what we are doing tomorrow evening. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams. Give everyone in heaven a big hug and kiss from me. I miss them all so much too.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah  💖⛄🎄🎅💚
