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 💖
