Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? It is actually 4:48 pm. Mom is just getting to write to you now. It is going to be a very short letter today as I have to feed the pups and walk them in like 12 minutes and also get dinner going for us as well. 

Today just flew by. I was up at the usual time and fed the pups, walked them and then I came right upstairs and chatted with Meme for a bit, started laundry and then came into my office to put a few boxes together. After that was done I took a shower, grabbed something to eat for Mark and I and then I started with emails and calls. Mom paid all the bills for the 1st of July...all 29 of them...ugh. That took a little while for sure. Mom is also listening to webinars so that I can get all my CEUs for my CMRS. I have listened to 7 today and I will be doing the same tomorrow as I have to submit them all by Thursday and Mom is out for 3 hours on Wednesday for a hair appointment. It is very nice that they are allowing me to do this when my membership expired 3 months ago. I am doing this all so quickly in good graces. I will do it and won't have to worry about it for another 8 months...lol! 

Yesterday we had our friends over. It was so much fun, Tyler. They are good people. Wayne and Ann are their names. We talked about everything and we laughed so hard. We played games in the pool, out of the pool and then ate tons of food! They got here at 1:45 pm and left at 8:45 pm. Mom and Mark cleaned up and we went upstairs and crashed hard. Mark was asleep in 30 minutes. Mom fell asleep after a bit but I was up a lot during the night. Didn't sleep a whole lot and I was surprised at that. Hopefully tonight I will sleep better. We stayed off social media all day long and night. It was so nice! We didn't skype with Grandpa or Tubal and Karen at all. It was just wonderful to do things that we wanted in our own time frame. That never happens. Meme and Bob visited with us for a little bit but then Bob was told to go upstairs and be with her and the dog. I thought that was rude. Meme was just being herself but I wished she would have been nicer....ugh...really makes Mom mad.

Tonight will be all about having dinner and then calling it an early evening. Mom will watch tv and then go to bed at a decent time. It will be a busy day tomorrow again so I need the sleep. Come visit me tonight in my dreams if you can. Have fun while I sleep. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. I will light the candle this evening and whisper to you before I fall asleep. Smile for me and I will smile for you. Mom is going to try and be mellow this week as this is the week I dread...Sunday is July 4th and it will be a mad house in this place. Partying all night and day and fireworks constantly. A family came in this morning and had a huge trailer attached to their SUV and it is all fireworks...Lord help us... we are going to need it. 

It is after 5 pm now. Mom needs to get going. I miss you so much and 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 inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams my sweet precious son. 

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💛

 

 Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday morning? It is 11:17 am and Mom is writing to you now as we have friends coming over for pool time and a BBQ at 1 pm. Mom needs to write this letter to you and then get downstairs to do the rest of the prep work. Mark and Mom did some this morning already. Mark tended to the pool. He skimmed it, vacuumed it while Mom was cleaning all the chairs and wicker furniture off. we managed to get everything finished and also Mom vacuumed all upstairs, made the bed, did the trash and took my shower. Pretty good timing if I don't say so myself! The sun is finally shining right now and there is no rain is sight so that is amazing. The pool water was 77 degrees so we turned the heat on for a bit. It will be 85 today. Mom is looking forward to having Wayne and his wife here. You know how I love to host gatherings and this will be the first one in over 4 years!  I will tell you about it on tomorrows letter to you!

Mom is sorry that I didn't write the last couple of days. Friday was a busy day doing all kinds of things at the house that needed to get done. Mom was not feeling all that great either so I took my time and just did everything I needed to do. Friday night was quiet here. Meme and Bob went to bed early as usual and Mark and Mom stayed up as it thunderstormed until midnight. The pups were so scared. Saturday, Mark and I were up early. We went and ran so many errands. We left at 9:30 am and got home at 1:45 pm. We hit the post office, Walmart, a couple gift shops and then the grocery store. We just had gotten outside and the sky opened up and started raining hard... we laughed! Anyways...we got home, put everything away, had lunch and the Dave went to Grandpa's house to help him with his computer. We were trying to help from this end as well. Finished that up at 4:30 pm. Mark did a bit of work and then we fed the pups, walked them and made dinner. It rained again last night. We stayed downstairs until 10 pm and then ventured upstairs. Mom went right to bed. Yesterday was a sad day for me. It was June 26th. Tough day in many ways. This was the day we laid you to rest 8 years ago. It is also the day 33 years ago that Grandpa, Audrey and Mom got into our car accident. Both of these memories will haunt me for the rest of my life. I wasn't really on social media much at all yesterday and that is the way I wanted it. I did get some other news as well yesterday morning. Chris Amos... you remember Mom's friend, he hasn't spoken to me in over a year. He messaged me this... Hi...Thought you might like to know, I have prostate cancer. That was the entire message. I did get in touch with him. Asked him a couple questions and he was vague with his answers. Mom feels terrible that he was diagnosed with this and I wish him the best in recovery. I hope that they found it quickly. What I was upset about was that not once in the last year when things were great, did he try and reach out to me at all. Just now. He never asked how I was doing either. Friendship is not a one-way street. It is give and take about one another. This friendship was not. It was always about him and only him. Mom just can't deal with that, Tyler. I just can't anymore. Too much drama. He always made me out to be the bad person and I wasn't. I don't think we will chat much anymore but we will see. Mom will definitely not be making an effort that is for sure as I know he won't either. Anyways... last night we were suppose to skype with Grandpa but he called me and apparently Debbie is still angry at the world about the other night so he told me not to call and make things worse. Mom was upset but said nothing at all. Not sure what is going on with them but Mom doesn't think it is good news. I will call him tonight to say hello and see how things are. 

Not much else to update you on. I know I missed a pretty painting in the sky last night. I caught the very end of it and I was so upset. I am hoping there will be one this evening so I can take pictures of it. Mom will write to you tomorrow afternoon. I will light a candle later this evening for you and I will whisper to you as I always do. Smile to Mom and I will smile to you my sweet precious son. I miss you so dang much. 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. Please watch over us and keep us safe and healthy. Thank you. Have fun tonight and come visit Mom in my dreams if you can. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams later tonight. Mom is off to go finish everything that needs to be done. 

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💜

 

 Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? It is 2:50 pm and it feels like 10 pm to Mom. It was another night with very little sleep. Princess was up at 3 am and I cleaned up after her...by the time I was finished, I was wide awake and couldn't fall back to sleep. I finally did though at 4:30 am and up again at 6:30 am. Mom is really hoping that tonight will be a night that I can get a lot of sleep. Hopefully the renters next door will not be loud and we can go to bed early.

Mark left for the office today at 10 am. Mom was rearranging things in her office, then cleaned Mark's office up... I finished at 11 am. I took a shower, grabbed something to eat and then I chatted on the phone to Auntie Kristina and Bonnie. Now Mom is looking at emails and getting things done that she needs to do. Tomorrow is Friday and I will be going to the grocery store to finish the shopping and then I will be home doing laundry and cleaning for Sunday. Not much else. I am hoping the weather holds out though for Sunday! 

Last night, Mom and Mark chatted on the phone with our friends Dave, Brian & Jocsan. We came upstairs after that and played some more golf. Mark was pretty tired as he was falling asleep during golf so we called it a night. He went to bed as Mom stayed up. Mom also spoke to Grandpa a couple times too. Second time I don't know what happened but Debbie got mad again and stormed out of the house. That is like the 4th time she has done that in less than 18 months. Not sure what is going on at times with her but Grandpa don't need that kind of crap. I was going to touch base with them this evening but I am going to hold off until tomorrow instead. Whatever is going on there...the dust needs to settle. 

This morning I believe in Miami, there was a 136 apartment building that collapsed right to the ground. Many people are trapped and injured. 1 was found dead and several others are needing to be rescued....men, women, children, animals. I haven't watched the news yet but I am sure I will see it later this evening when Mark watches the news. The whole thing is so sad. Mom is praying for everyone of them and their families and pets. May they all still be alive and make a full recovery from this tragic event. I will keep you posted on this tomorrow when there is more to tell. 

I think tonight will be dinner and relaxing...no golf or games...maybe tv and bed. Mom is very tired tonight. I will light the candle for you and whisper to you as I always do each night. Smile for me and I will smile to you my sweet precious son. I know this is a short letter today but Mom is going to sit back and maybe snooze for 30 minutes or so as I am having a hard time keeping my eyes open. I may need that break to have the energy to feed the pups and walk them and then make dinner this evening for us. This happens when it makes 3 nights in a row that not much sleep has been had. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Have fun while I sleep tonight and come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thank you. Please continue to watch over us all here. Keep us safe and healthy. Thank you. It means so much to Mom. 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 inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams. I miss you more than anything...more than words can say.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💖 

 

 Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is writing to you now as the clouds are rolling in and it is raining as I am writing to you. We are in for thunderstorms from 3 pm again until 10 pm this evening. Goin to be this way all the way until next week...that will be 5 weeks straight with more rain than sun. I know we need the rain but dang this is making my face puffy and sore and my mood very cranky. I hope that the Sunshine State gets more sun soon and then Mom will be a happy again. I am just that kind of person that rain makes me feel like blah. No motivation to do a dang thing either. No granted it is Wednesday and I have been gone every day this week weather it has been in the morning into the afternoon, the afternoon or like today...left at 9 am and got back at 12:30 pm. I have not had a full day here since Sunday. There is a lot of prep for Sunday. Thursday, Mark is at the office and I plan on doing some major cleaning, Friday the same thing and then going to get the rest of the food that is needed. Saturday will be a relaxing day and then friends will be here Sunday at 1 pm. Right now the weather says 30% rain and cloudy.. I hope it stays that way. Mom will keep you updated on things!

Last night we had a somewhat later dinner than normal. Pups were fed and walked before we got hit with another thunderstorm. We times that just right! We ate dinner, Mom cleaned up and then we headed upstairs around 8 pm. We got the pups comfortable and Mark and Mom played golf again. The renters were out by their pool swimming, yelling, screaming until 10 pm in the thunderstorm and someone close by was lighting fireworks. Not the smartest thing to do. All the noise stopped around 11 pm. Mom was able to get a little rest but not much. Hoping tonight will be better though. Looking at the weather it says we are in for the storms from 3 pm to 8 pm...40 to 54% so we will get them. Thursday will be worse. 8 am to 9 pm....rain and storms... 45 to 61% for that.... ugh. Anyways... maybe the renters will be quieter this evening. Who knows but Mom will definitely be going to bed early tonight. I need some much needed sleep. Please come visit me in my dreams if you can. I will whisper to you like I do each night. Smile for Mom and I will smile to you my sweet precious son. Mom will also light a candle for you this evening.

No updates at all for you today. Grandpa still has not gotten his computer up and running. They went out again today instead of calling me to help them. They are home now but we are going to be getting that crap weather and I refuse to do it when that is going on. Mom has to look after the pups because they are always shaking and scared. Not sure when he will get it running but Mom is trying. I would really like to skype with them. I miss Grandpa badly. Haven't heard from anyone in the family lately so I assume all is well. Oh, Mom does know that Aunt Shirley will be having her 1st surgery on July 7th or 8th and Grandpa will be with her for that. She is very happy with that and feels safer. Not sure about the 2nd surgery but I will let you know when I know. 

Oh the thunder is rolling now. It is loud and the pups are scared as all heck. This is going to be a long afternoon and evening. It is only 2:46 pm. I know Princess is already shaking. She is with Mark right now. He didn't go to the office today as he has to go tomorrow for a very long day and early evening. Mom is going to end this letter to you so that I can go tend to them so that Mark can work. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter. I am home all day! 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 more than words pumpkin. Please watch over us all and keep us healthy and safe. Thank you. Have fun while I sleep tonight and continue to spread those wings and fly high and free. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💜

 

 Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? We just got done having another thunderstorm. We are ok until 6 pm and then there will be more until 10 pm this evening. These are getting tiring...every day now for the past 3 weeks...hardly any sun. Mom is very cranky because it too. I don't mind the rain but every day like this gets to me and puts me in a very bad mood. ok...anyways... moving on.... Ozzy was laying on my legs and feet during the thunderstorm... I had to put him in his bed as my legs are asleep now. It is not raining at the moment so I can write to you briefly...lol...the things we do for our furbabies! 

Not much to wrote today I am afraid. Last night was boring. Mark worked until 10 pm, Mom laid in bed while it was storming with Ozzy while Princess was with Mark, Meme and Bob went to bed at 7 pm. Phone rang at 9 pm and it was Mom's friend. We chatted for a bit. Mom was sleeping by 10:30 pm. We got new renters next door and they we a bit loud...Mom didn't sleep well last night. Princess was up a couple times, cleaned up after her and it was very warm in here. Hoping to get better sleep tonight that is for sure! 

Today, Mom tried helping Debbie put skype on her computer. What should have taken 15 minutes to do, took 2 hours and then she still didn't get it installed. Mom had to stop as Mom went out to get her nails done. Left at 12:35 pm and home at 2:15 pm. Not bad. Only went there and back home. Glad I did as I would have been caught in that storm. Tonight may be a repeat of last night. Mark may be working and it will be storming so Mom will be in the bedroom watching tv and calming the pups down. I am sure to be fast asleep by 10 pm tonight. Maybe tomorrow Mom can try again with Debbie and this skype thing. We have to get it as Grandpa can't use his new computer with us helping him set it up. Poor Grandpa will have to wait another night to do this because of it. Debbie has a tendency to just click buttons and hit buttons that she has no idea of what she is doing. she gets frustrated and then we do on this side. She just messaged Mom saying maybe we can try tomorrow. Mark is at the office tomorrow and Thursday so nothing will happen until Friday now. I feel so bad...Grandpa has this computer and he should be using it and he can't. Ugh...not sure what to do about that, ya know? I wish he was living down here. I miss him so much. He needs to be enjoying life and not working his ass off still. Maybe in a year he will change his mind. I sure hope so! 

Mom misses you so much. 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 hope you come visit me in my dreams soon. I love when you do. I am sure you are super busy doing all kinds of things. I know I can't see any of it but Mom is so proud of you, pumpkin. You were amazing here and I know you are amazing wherever you are. I will light a candle this evening for you. I will whisper to you before bed too. Smile for me and I will be sure to give you a smile before I fall asleep. Mom is going to close now as it is thundering again and the rain is going to start. I will have to stop what I am doing and tend to Ozzy while Mark has Princess. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then...good night and sweet dreams.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💖
