Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is completely drained and so tired it is not funny today! Last night I didn't sleep very much at all....too much on my mind with the house and all. Mark didn't get home until around 10:30 pm either. Let's just say that tonight will be a very early night for me...lol!

Around 5:30 pm last night, our realtor called to tell us that the guy who said he would make an offer on the house indeed made an offer but it was such a low number that we could not accept it. We had to decline the offer unfortunately. When Mark got home last night we chatted about it and had a phone call scheduled with our realtor this morning at 7:30 am. We decided to counter his offer. We heard back about 3 hours later and he countered back with a bit better number but still not what we need it to be at so this afternoon we countered again. It has been 3 hours now and we have heard nothing at all. We don't want to push him away in the least but we have to cover our own butts! I really thought we might hear back before this but I guess we will later this evening or tomorrow maybe??? I just hope after all this, the guy still wants to purchase the house. Mom will be so upset if what Mark and the realtor are doing screws us over in the long run. Please help any way that you can with this, Tyler. We need the help and the prayers. Thank you my sweet precious son. Mom will keep you updated as I know of things!

Another reason that Mom didn't sleep well last night was because right before I went to bed, I saw that a friend of mine lost her Mom a couple days ago. I went to the funeral site to see her obituary and I was stunned and shocked to see that there were multiple people that I knew that passed in the last month. I was heartbroken. I had no idea and I was angry that some people in NH could have told me so that I knew but decided that it wasn't necessary. One of those people were Nancy Blanchard from Windy Acres. I know you remember her. Another one was a girl I knew growing up in high school and one was someone that Mom did Relay with for many years. I just want to take a minute to acknowledge them all...Nancy, Barbara, Cammie, Dina, Barbara, Jean, Phillip, and Dave. May you all R.I.P. now for eternal life and fly high and free with the Angels above. 

It is already 3:40 pm. Mom has been in her office since 9 am this morning. I have made phone calls, sent emails and have basically looked for houses all day long. My eyes hurt from doing so and I just needed to take a break from it all. I know the right house is out there for us...we just have to wait and see. Mom will be crossing her fingers for sure and hopefully by the weekend we will have an offer in on a new home!!!!

It is now 4:45 pm and Mom needs to get going. I have to feed the pups and get things started for the night routine. I have a feeling that the hours after it will be looking at things on the computer again for at least a couple hours and then more tomorrow. I will light the warmer for you later this evening. Mom will whisper to you before I fall asleep so smile to me and I will smile to you. Have fun while I rest tonight. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. 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 be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then....good night and sweet dreams. Please continue to watch over us all and keep us safe and healthy. Fly high and free! I miss you more than words can say.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💖
