Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is doing okay today. More awake then I was yesterday. I was up several times during the night though as Princess was not feeling well again. I was up at 12 midnight with her while Mark was snoring away. I didn't mind. Mark had a long day yesterday. He was out the door at 8 am and got home at 7 pm last night. We ate dinner at 7:30 pm and then he was sleeping by 9:30 pm. We had a phone call with one of his buddies and that was not good news at all. It was actually sad news of one of there mutual friends... I know them as well but only have been around them about 4 or 5 times. Last time we saw these folks were about 3 years ago maybe at a wedding. Anyways... it was news to tell us that the lady... leaving her name out for personal reasons was just recently diagnosed with what seems to be all signs pointing to cancer. She has a mass that is the size of an orange and it is wrapping around her aorta. The mass is basically starting to cut of the blood and O2 flow to her body. Prognosis is maybe 20% at this point. It is not good. Her attitude is that she has given up but is just going through the motions for her husband at this point. She was told to stop smoking immediately and she hasn't and if anything she is smoking more...like 2 packs a day. The whole thing is grim and like Mom said...sad. We wish her the best. Our friend will be keeping us posted on everything. Our prayers are going out to her and her husband and kids. 

Everything is good here. The weather is sunny and warm. Mark is working, Mom is in her office and finally have cleaned it...lol. I started yesterday after I wrote to you and finished it up this morning. Meme has been downstairs all day long and I bet Bob has been outside for most of the day. They are never in their spare room at all. Bob might be like maybe an hour or 2 and that is it and it is not every day either. Somehow, I would love to get that room and make it into a guest room seeing how Mark will not be using the garage as an office. That is going to be too expensive to convert...like $10,000.00 expensive! I know they will never give that room up though at all. They just use it for a catch all for their stuff...it is a room being wasted. 

It is already 4 pm and Mom has just a bit of time to write to you and then it will be time to feed the pups and walk them and then make dinner for us. After dinner, Mark & Mom are going to build the new dining room table. It has been here now for 10 days just sitting in the boxes in the sitting room. Guess it is time to put it together. It really should not take long at all. There is not much to it and it is pretty simple and straight forward or at least we are hoping so. After that it finished we will head back upstairs and get ready for bed. Mom is hoping for a good nights sleep tonight. Mark is back at the office tomorrow as well so we want to make it an early night for sure. we have a few shows to watch and then we will crash for the evening!  Mom will light the candle warmer for you and I will, as always, whisper to you before I fall asleep. Smile for me and I will smile for you my sweet precious son. Mom has a few things to do tomorrow but I will be back to write to you again in the afternoon. I did all my calls today that were needed so I have just a couple to make in the morning and my afternoon looks pretty free. Next week I will be busy doing my boxes for June. It is crazy to think that in 11 days it will be the 6th month of this year. I tend not to think about it as June is a very hard month for Mom. I will do my best though. 

Oh before I forget, I called Grandpa last night and all is well there. His skirting for his house is being done today and the roof will be done next week so he is happy about that! Not much from anyone else though. I assume that all is good. I never heard from Bean on my Birthday...that makes the 4th one right in a row that she doesn't bother with me. Made me sad for a bit but then I was over it. Nothing new.... 

Well that is all for today. Mom is going to finish up a couple things and then head downstairs for a few hours. Have fun while I sleep 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 miss you like crazy, Tyler. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💙
