Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Saturday afternoon? Mom, first of all needs to apologize to you for not writing yesterday. I always write on a holiday and never miss one and I did. I missed New Years Day for you. Happy 2021 a day late in Heaven. These last few days have been pretty tough on Mom. I am angry, tired, stressed out and just not myself. I will explain things in a minute. I am so sorry and angry that I couldn't write to you. I know you see Mom and you understand but I am still mad at myself.....

Lets see...New Years Eve was a complete bust for us here. Around 5 pm all hell broke loose. Renters were lighting off fireworks, they were partying, yelling, screaming, etc... one set of the renters next to us decided to be rude and mean to Mom and I didn't step down. I was so angry I let them have it too. I am so tried of the whole "Black Lives Matter" stuff....All lives matter...period! Things got worse after 9 pm and it continued until 2 am New Years Day. Mom averaged about 5 hours of sleep and that is it. Meme and Bob went to bed at 8:30 pm. Mark and Mom stayed up until midnight and said Happy New Year but that was about it. No toasting, no celebrating. The renters sure ruined it for us.

Yesterday, New Years Day....Mom was up at 7 am. We fed the pups and walked them and then Mom started taking down the decorations. all of it was down, put away, swept, dusted and vacuumed. Took Mom from 8 am until 2 pm to do it all but it is completed. Everything is neatly tucked away for this year...in 10 months...lol! After that, Mom made a couple calls. I found out that a lady that we both knew in Windy Acres...her husband is in ICU with Covid and she has it now. Mom was on the phone with her and she was so sick she had to get off the phone. She was vomiting. I felt so bad for her. I will check in with her real quick today. I am sending prayers her way for sure. By the time I got off the phone with my 2 calls it was 3:30 pm. Mom got ready and then headed downstairs to feed the pups and get dinner for us. In between though, Mom got a visit from the Sheriff.  I spent about 20 minutes outside talking to him about the renters on both sides of us for the last 12 days. Lots of insight on Mom's end but lots of insight that I gave this officer as well. Last night we had all intentions of watching a movie with Meme and Bob but Bob didn't want to. They went to bed at 6:30 pm. Mom called Grandpa and Debbie to say Happy New Year. Chatted with them for about an hour and then we made our way upstairs. We watched tv for a couple hours and we went to bed. We were exhausted. Mom never got on her computer at all. I was so tired to try and do a letter to you on the phone. again, I am so sorry.

Saturday...today... Mom and Mark were up at the usual time. Pups were fed and walked. Mom did a few things around the house, did laundry, got ready and hopped on the computer. I checked emails and sent messages out that I needed to. It is after 2:30 pm now. Mark is on his computer, Meme is downstairs and Bob has his tv on and he is sleeping. That guy is sleeping all the time. He does nothing at all. It is really getting to Mom. We were going to go out for the day but we decided not to as Ozzy has been sick. I wanted to stay home with him. We will go out tomorrow. We have a meeting set at 12 noon with a realtor. We are done with all the BS around here. We are moving and there is no turning back. When will be the question and where but we are. Mom will keep you posted on what is said. 

Tonight will be about watching a movie, feeding the pups and having dinner ourselves. We will be watching a marathon of Dr Who later...3 hours worth...lol. We will hopefully get a good night sleep for a change and then get up in the morning feeling well rested. Mom will have a candle lit for you downstairs and also upstairs later. I will whisper to you before I fall asleep. Smile for me and I will smile to you my sweet precious son. I miss you so much and I love you with all my heart. 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 probably write you a small letter tomorrow if I don't get back late but if I do then I will be back first thing Monday morning. Please continue to keep us safe and healthy. Thank you. Have fun tonight while I am sleeping. Come visit if you can. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💖
