Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Mom is doing ok but I have to say that I am not feeling the greatest again and I am super tired for some reason. I woke up and felt good this morning but around 9 am or so that kind of changed. I had an appointment at 10:30 am and I almost cancelled it but I decided to go. I was so sick half way through the appointment. I had to excuse myself and go to the bathroom. That never happens at all. I was so glad to get out of there. I drove immediately home. I was hoping to go to a couple other stores but I decided against it. I am glad that I did. Mom got home and had some lunch and started drinking water and I am feeling better right now in a way but I am still very tired. I haven't done hardly anything this afternoon. I have been looking at product for my next box. I am really just not with it at all. I know that thunderstorms will be rolling in soon again. Seems like the pattern daily is between 3 pm to 8 pm. I guess that it is like this the entire month of August. Typical weather for Florida. This weekend will not be a good one again. It will be rainy all day long. If it is nice though I would love to go sit outside for a bit and get some sun. That would be really nice! Guess we shall just wait and see. I don't think that we are going anywhere either. I think it is just hanging out at home. That is fine by me.
 Today is August 7th. It would have been Great Grammy's 100th Birthday today. I know we all wish that she was here so that we could celebrate with her but instead she is celebrating up in the Heavens with you and the rest of her family and friends. I am sure there are a lot of laughter and fun. I can hear you all laughing right now. When you see her, Tyler, please give her a big hug and kiss from Mom. I miss my tough cookie 🍪 a lot. I miss you more than words can say. Mom posted on social media a sweet picture of Great Grammy and I wrote something to her. I saw a lot of butterflies today as well when I was out. I know she is around all the time. That is a comfort for Mom. I thank you both 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 inside my heart, mind, body and soul. 
 Last night there was a huge storm. None of us felt like cooking so we decided to order pizza. We ate kind of late though. It was good but I guess Meme was sick all last night from it. That is not good. The renters have been quiet since the whole police ordeal so that is nice. At least we can sleep now. Hoping the silence stays that way for sure! Aunt Beck called last night. We spoke for about 30 minutes. It was a great conversation. Neither of us brought up anything to what is going on. She just asked how I was feeling, how Mark was doing and then we chatted about her clients....of course no names were mentioned. They are all doing well. Bean is too so that is good to hear. Oh yeah and I got my message from you... So like you to say what you did, Tyler. Glad to see you still have your humor!!! You were right though. Even though Mom was so sick and in pain... it still beat labor. You definitely got that correct. The message made me chuckle and it also validated for me that you do see what is going on. Thank you my sweet precious son. Please continue to give Aunt Beck messages for me when you can. 
 Not much will be going on tonight. Just the usual. Feeding the pups and then taking them for a walk. Eating dinner, cleaning up and then relaxing. I think Mom will be going to bed early tonight in hopes to get some good sleep. have fun tonight while I am sleeping and come visit me in my dreams again if you can. I am not sure if i will write to you over the weekend but I will try to. If Mom does, they will be short letters to you. I know I have to work on my box stuff so I am not sure.... I know you understand plus I had already mentioned that I would be taking weekends off from here. The letters would be 5 days a week now so that I have time to unwind and relax. The weekends could be a short letter to you and pictures. Mom will have to see. For now I am going to get going so that I can relax for a bit before the night routine has to start. I have a couple hours so a nap may be in my future!!! Until tomorrow comes or Monday....good night and sweet dreams. Mom will light your candle and whisper to you tonight so smile for me and I will smile back to you. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💛

Last nights (8/5) sunset




Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. I have been up since 5 am though. Princess was not feeling all that well last night and this morning. She was sick so Mom was up with her and cleaning. Mark and Ozzy slept in and had no clue... they were both snoring...go figure...lol! Princess was still a bit sick this afternoon as well but she seems to be better now. We will see after she eats dinner tonight. Poor thing didn't even want any food this morning. I felt so bad for her. She is 15 1/2 years old. She is up there in age and Mom knows this. I cherish what time we have left with this sweet girl. I am so glad we got her almost 6 years ago. She at least gets to know what true love is and what it is like to be a pup instead of just a breeder dog. She is happy still and that is just what we want for her. Ozzy is still Ozzy. He goes next week to get 2 shots and to be checked out again for his back. He went after Rocky again the other day. Mom was in the kitchen and I had food. That did it. This time there was no blood. Mom stopped it before that happened. Meme of course was all angry at Bob for letting the dog downstairs. It really was a mess and still is. 
 Mom was trucking right along this morning. Up at 5 am. I cleaned everything up from Princess. I didn't go back to sleep either. I was awake. I got out of bed, took a shower, got ready, made the bed and it was 7:30 am. Went downstairs to feed the pups, walk them and then Mom made a grocery list. I was out the door by 8:45 am and at Walmart by 9 am. Did the shopping that was needed and then got out of there, drove home, put everything away and it was only 10:45 am. I thought that was excellent timing and glad that it was done. I have been upstairs ever since. I have sent emails, made calls, paid 20 bills online, chatted with Auntie Kristina on the phone and now I am writing to you and it is just 3:26 pm. I have done and accomplished so much today. I think I will be sleeping good tonight or at least I hope I do! I am watching the sky. The storm is starting to roll in and the thunder is upon us. We got a good one yesterday that is for sure. This one looks the same. Thank you so much for a beautiful painting in the sky last night. I took pictures of it. I will post one on here tonight. I whispered to you after I saw it and I hope you heard Mom. I smiled and I hope you did too. I will whisper to you again this evening. I will also light your candle while I am relaxing and watching tv. I sure hope that you hear Mom again. I know you are smiling even though I can't see you but I sure do picture it in my mind and that makes Mom smile for you. I miss your voice and your handsome face. I miss your laughter. I miss it all. I miss you my sweet precious son. 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 no updates for you at all. Same ole same ole here which isn't a bad thing. Mom is still praying hard for everyone around the world during this pandemic. The numbers continue to increase here which is really really scary. We have now surpassed NYC when they were at it's worse back in April. Florida is actually doubled. That is definitely not something to brag about. We are over 500,000 positive cases and over 6,000 deaths just in this state alone. Keep us healthy and safe, pumpkin. Thank you. I know you are with us. I have no doubt at all. I know you are helping us in more than that way. Mark is still on the hunt for a job. Nothing yet. Tomorrow will be 1 week. We are still scared as all hell. Today was his last check. That is even scarier as the money will run out pretty quickly. Be with us, Tyler. Mom needs you, we need you. Thank you. 
 Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. The storm is really starting to roll in and I want to be there to comfort the pups when it hits. In about an hour it will be time for Mom to get the night routine going anyways. Until tomorrow comes.... good night and sweet dreams. Have fun while I sleep and come visit me in my dreams if you can! I will be looking for you!!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💚  

Wednesday, August 5, 2020











Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. I have been up since 7:30 am. The pups were fed and walked and then Mom came in and I made breakfast for Mark and I. Haven't done that in so long. After breakfast was made, we both came upstairs to our offices to start the day. I have been in my office all day long. I have been researching product for my next box, sending emails and making calls. Mark has been on the phone and doing the same thing. We did get a pretty nasty thunderstorm earlier. The pups were scared but they settled down quite quickly so that was a huge help! It is now going on 4:30 pm. Mom needs to write your letter pretty quickly and then I need to go jump in the shower before starting the night routine. 
 Last night, Mom made dinner. We ate and then I cleaned everything up. The pups ate late due to the storms that we were having but they did eat which was really surprising. I think they get scared but they are starting to get used to it a bit. Not much but I will take anything. we watched tv for a bit. Mom spoke to Grandpa as well. They had a storm that knocked the power out there for over 24 hrs. We went to bed around 11 pm. Things were somewhat quiet last night with the renters next door. Hoping that tonight will be the same way. If not the Sheriffs will be quite busy. The plans for us is to fed the pups, walk them, have dinner and then relax. I know that even though neither Mark or Mom are saying things out loud, we are both stressed right out. We are on edge about what is going to happen and how we are going to be able to afford everything. Both of us are really not sleeping well, we are not eating right and our stomachs are always upset and sick feeling. Mom is praying that things change and quickly. The best I can do is just be quiet and support Mark any way that I can. I think he is appreciating that a lot. Mom is hoping to start to feel better and soon. It is not fun to always feel sick. You know that feeling all to well. Mom doesn't need to say anything.
 I really don't have much for updates for you. Debbie was asking if it would be better for them to come next summer instead of next month. I told her that it was up to her and Grandpa. I couldn't make that decision for them. I will be so sad if they choose that but I will understand why they did it. I just miss Grandpa so much. I want to see him and be able to talk and joke around and go places with them. I want them to see our home and area where we live. Mom will keep you posted. The other news that i have is that Uncle Dick is not doing well. Aunt Jacqui messaged Mom to tell ne that he is failing fast. His COPD and asthma is getting bad now and he is shaking(tremors), like Bob. He has been diagnosed with dementia in the past months which was news to all of us. This is so sad. Meme called him a couple days ago and she said he was totally out of it. She said it didn't even sound like him. I think that hit home for her. They rarely ever talk and that is sad in itself. I will keep you posted on that too. As for everyone else... I guess they are well. I don't hear from many anymore. I gave up on Charlie, Marion, Chris and all them. They must not miss me either because no one is calling or texting me. Sad but I don't let it get to me at all anymore. I can't. I have other things to do and concentrate on!
 Well, Tyler. It is getting close to that time where Mom needs to be getting off the computer and starting to get things set for the night. I will light your candle later. I will whisper to you like I always do. Have fun while I sleep. Come visit again in my dreams if you can. I loved it last night. I do wonder why you are always so small and young in my dreams of you though. I will take it thought as I get to hear your voice and it makes me smile. Thank you for that. Please continue to watch over us all. Keep us safe and healthy. Thank you. I will be back tomorrow afternoon with another letter to you. Smile for me when you hear my voice later and I will be sure to smile back to you. 
 I miss you more than words can say. 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 💙
