Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Mom is doing alright but I am dragging butt. Last night was quiet with Mark being gone to the college. I went into the bedroom at 6:30 pm after I got the pups fed, walked and I ate dinner. I just wanted to relax and do nothing. I did chat with Grandpa for a bit. He is so high strung for some reason. He just doesn't seem like he is happy and that makes Mom very sad. I hope that I am wrong. Debbie doesn't seem happy at all either. After I spoke to them, I watched tv until 10 pm and then decided to call it a night. I fell asleep around 10:30ish just to be woken up when Mark got home at 11:15 pm. Because he was angry at Mom... he turned on the lights and then made so much noise. Mom got to sleep again around 12:30 am. I didn't sleep well. I was up at 6:30 am though. Pups were fed and walked and then Mom sat downstairs and chatted with Meme for a bit before going upstairs to get ready to start the day. I was showered and done by 9:30 am. I came right into my office to do a lot of things but really nothing got done. I checked emails and chatted with Aunt Beck as today is her Birthday! I spoke to Auntie Kristina as well. After that I got lunch and then did more emails. I was so tired, I closed my door, put on calming music and then fell asleep in my glider rocker for about an hour. I am more tired now then before. It is super quiet. Mark is not talking to anyone. Meme and Bob tried but he just walked right by. He has said nothing to me at all either. Whatever. He is in that cycle yet again...not talking, ignoring us all, throwing items away because he can. He was suppose to go get his vehicle today but he didn't. They are not open on the weekends either. Our realtor called and said she was trying to get Mark but he was ignoring her so she called me. The appraisal came back great for the new home and the appraisal for this house is I guess scheduled for Monday. We are supposed to close on the 25th but the realtor said something about the buyers may not be able to then when they are the ones who requested that date. We may have to push the closing to April 8th now...which was the original date to begin with. We are all set and Mom has booked everything to be installed...security, cable, internet, etc...along with us being all packed and ready to go plus the movers are booked too... I know you are working hard on this for mom. If there is anything that can be done to have this closing date still being set for the 25th we would really love it, Tyler. Can you help Mom out? Thanks pumpkin. I guess we will know more on Monday. Our fingers are crossed that is for sure! 

Not only today Aunt Beck's Birthday but it is also our little Ms. Princess' Gotcha Day. We got her 7 years ago today. Wow...7 years. That means that we got Ozzy 2 weeks later and it will be around the time we are suppose to be moving. Hard to believe that time has passed so quickly. She is doing good still. She is slowing down as she is 16 years old and getting white but she is still spunky and spoiled rotten...lol. Tonight, she will get a special treat for dinner for her special day!

Aunt Beck told me that when Forrest was visiting her and John a week or so ago, that when he arrived he told her that you were there just hanging out at their house. That is so cool. I know you watch over us all and I thank you for that. You are so amazing, my sweet precious son. Always have been and I know you always will be! 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 will light the candle warmer this evening for you. After dinner is done and cleaned up, Mom will probably just go to the bedroom and watch tv. I have a feeling it will be a very early night for me to get some sleep not to mention a quiet one. If I had to guess, Mark will stay in his office and play on the computer and drink all night long and then come to bed when he is tired. He is back at the college again all day Sunday...yup...he didn't stick to his word to Mom like he said he would and after the exam for the students, he would be done. He is still continuing to choose the college over me and everything else. I am still processing this whole thing. I am done with being hurt by him though. He gave me his word and now his words mean nothing to me. His actions proved that. I told him last time that after the 7th of this month and if he continued after telling me he wouldn't then there was going to be big changes. He doesn't care about my feelings or anyone else's for that matter...it is all about him and what is convenient for him at that given time. I guess I have learned that over the last 9 years. Sad but true. Anyways... Saturday is the only day he is around for the weekend and he will make sure to hole himself up where he won't be around any of us at all. I am sure it will be a very quiet day! Mom will probably just stay away from him and leave him alone and Sunday I will go do the shopping that is needed...groceries, etc... He will have to take an Uber car to the college again and Mom is not sorry for that at all. I will keep you posted on everything though and I will write to you over the weekend. I will be getting things set for my boxes to be curated this coming week. 

I need to get going for now thought as it is 4:41 pm and the pups will need to be fed and walked here in about 15 minutes. I will whisper to you tonight before I fall asleep so smile for Mom and I will smile to you. Have fun tonight while Mom rests. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams. I miss you more than ever and more than words can ever say...

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💙
