Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is so sorry that I have not been on here to write to you in 5 days. That is the longest ever since I started this blog for you almost 8 years ago. I know that you have seen everything that has been going on but I will do a very quick recap on things.

Thursday April 7th~ Around 7 pm our realtor called to tell us that the buyer for our house still did not have all his paperwork in so we were not going to close on the 8th. Everyone was upset and emotions were high. We went to bed early that night in hopes that something would come out of this the next day.

Friday April 8th~ Closing day....we went until 3 pm that afternoon with hearing nothing. We were all on pins and needles to say the least. It was stated to us that if the buyer didn't get everything in by 5 pm the contract was breeched and voided. Well guess what??? He didn't get it done at all. Emails were flying back and forth until 10 pm that evening with him saying he was trying his best and that he could close on the 13th but would prefer the 16th...blah blah blah...all was just a bunch of lies. He had all the time to do everything that we had to do in 45 days. We got it done in 30 days....he is being a real jerk...putting it nicely. He wants Mark and Mom to pay for all the money that he lost... what about all that we lost as well? No one cares that way. It sucks. Anyways.... we all were in shock that it didn't go through. Mom walked around that day and night not saying much at all. I had nothing to say at all. I was angry and hurt and it stung real hard. I allowed myself to feel the way I did so that I could move forward. 

Saturday April 9th~ Up at the usual time and feeding the pups and walking them. After that Mom needed to get to her office to try and do some work on my boxes. Guess what??? We had no internet, phone, or cable. Someone cut our line...hmmm...imagine that! No one could come at all that day so what we all did was started to unpack our stuff. Mom worked from 7 am to 8 pm that day and night. I got lots of stuff done. I think I passed out at 9:30 pm. I slept all night which was amazing.

Sunday April 10th~ Up at 8 am and ready to get stuff started and done. The weather was horrible so we built my new computer desk. That took 7 hours to do. Got done at 9 pm. Mom took a shower before bed and I crashed at 10 pm.

Monday April 11th~ Yesterday was a day that I spent in my office unpacking. I got everything pretty much done except I have to build one more bookcase and then I can put things on it and I will be completed! My goal is to be done by Friday. I have a few boxes in the living room that are mostly kitchen stuff and that is it and then it is my Disney collection. After dinner last night, Mom had to work on her boxes and get them finished. I worked until 9 pm and crashed at 10:30 pm.

Today...Tuesday April 12th~ Up at the usual time. Pups were fed and walked. Mark went to work and Mom did a few things and then got ready. I had to run a couple errands and then head to my hair appointment at 11 am. Nails were at 1 pm. Mom was home at 2:30 pm. Had a bit to eat and then came right up and checked emails and made calls. Now I am writing to you. I have about 10 minutes before I have to feed the pups and walk them again. I took the day to do absolutely no unpacking. I needed it. My whole body hurts like crazy. Meme and Bob are not even close to having their stuff unpacked. They are just screwing off doing not much of anything. Their rooms are even more cluttered than before. I have gotten into so many fights with them already. Mom is so tired of it. They don't seem to appreciate anything at all. There is never a thank you for all we do or I should say what Mark does. Mom is just angry at her for this.

Updates that I know of... Aunt Beck made it to Arizona. Took a week to get there but they are there and will be until June. I guess Bean is ok...haven't heard anything from here in months. Grandpa and Debbie are fine. They never call Mom. I always have to call them. I chat with them about twice a week. I miss Grandpa so much. I wish he would come visit me soon. Mark is getting a new vehicle on Friday. He purchased a Jeep Wrangler. He is happy with his choice so Mom is happy for him. He works hard so he deserves it so much. I am anxious to see it! I can't believe that in 1 month and 2 days I will be 50 years old....yikes...lol! You would have been 31 years old this year. So hard to believe that you are still gone from me. I miss you like crazy. I talked to you every night. I hope you heard Mom. I hope you smile to me as I smile to you. 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 to get going for now but I will be back tomorrow with another letter now that things are calmed down a bit. I will light the candle warmer for you. I will whisper to you tonight. Smile for me and I will do the same to you. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Have fun while I sleep tonight. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams my sweet precious son.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💜
