Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? It is 2:21 pm and Mom is awaiting groceries to be delivered. I was up early this morning helping Mark get his table up to his office and trying to get it all together. We finished at 8:30 am. It was good timing for sure. Mom got ready right after and started my day. I ate breakfast and then I did the online grocery shopping for us for the next couple of weeks. I did 2 separate orders. One will be here any minute and the other will be here in about 2 hours. It worked for us this week. The jeep was in my way so I couldn't get my car to go to the stores. It is all good though. It worked out in the end. 

OK...Mom took a quick break to put away the groceries from store 1. After I did that, Mom had to clean up the 2nd huge mess from Princess. This morning when I got up, I had a huge mess again to clean on the carpet in the bedroom and I just had a second round from her to clean up. I am not sure what is going on but I hope it stops soon. I seem to be always cleaning up after the pups, Mark, Meme and Bob plus myself. It is getting a bit much now. Everyone in this house is a damn adult and should clean up after themselves. It is going to start and now! Anyways... groceries from store 2 will be here now within 1.5 hours. Just in time for Mom to feed the pups, walk them and then make dinner for us. Last night we had dinner and then Mark and Mom put the new table that was built in the space in the formal dining room. It looks really good. we are surprisingly happy with the outcome! Mom had to move a few things around after and vacuum the floors but I was done around 7:30 pm. we went upstairs after and Mark suggested that we golf on the PS4 as we haven't done that in years and it was fun. We played until 10 pm before calling it quits so we could get some sleep. Mom won! I was 7 UP from him...lol! I whooped his butt...hahaha! I think we are going to play again this evening after dinner. we laughed a lot. It was a fun time! This weekend will be all about getting some things done and taken care of that we have needed to. Also, we will be going to Disney Springs to poke around for a bit and then depending on the time maybe Old Town as well. We haven't been there in about 5 months or so. It has been a hot minute. Mom is hoping that when the pool guy comes today, he will tell us that is is alright to go swimming this weekend. That would make Mom so happy! If it is not this weekend then definitely next weekend as it is a long weekend and it is Memorial Day. This place will be a friggin zoo and loud... Mom is hoping that is not the case but time will tell. we can only hope for the best...right? Power of positive thinking! 

Mom needs to finish this letter up to you as I need to look for those ear buds. I was suppose to yesterday but that didn't happen. I got a couple phone calls that I had to take so I was preoccupied with that. I need to take the time today to do it though. It is important. Mark is still working, so it will be the best time to do it. wish me luck, Tyler...lol. 

Oh I never heard back from Charlie like he said he would do...go figure, right? I am sure he was just too busy to write back...whatever, but I did see that we are friends again on facebook. I will not go out of my way to talk to him at all. Just isn't going to happen. As far as I am concerned, he is not a friend...he is an acquaintance. Sad as it is...he made it that way, not Mom. Maybe someday it won't be that way but I won't hold my breath for it. Do you really blame me? I did a lot for him and Marion and I get treated the way that I did and still do...it is not right or fair. Ok...enough of this.....

Mom will light the candle warmer tonight for you. I have had one going all day again in my office. I will whisper to you like I always do. Smile for me and I will smile back. I love you with all my heart and soul. To the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are forever my hero and the wind beneath my wings. I will be back over the weekend to write to you...not both days but at least one of the days. It will be whatever day we stay home. I think the day we go out will be super crazy and busy and by night time Mom will be tired. I know you understand. I thank you for that. Please continue to keep us safe and healthy. Please watch over us all. Mom really appreciates it so much. Have fun while I get some sleep tonight. Hope you do all that is needed to get done and all that you may want to do. 

Ok...it is after 3:30 pm and Mom is not on the hunt for those earbuds...lol. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams. I miss you so...You are in my heart, mind, body and soul. Forever is where you will stay. I love you, Tyler.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💛

PS. Today is Uncle Dick's 76th Birthday! Hope you go send him a sign to tell him that you are around. Tomorrow is Aunt Jaqcui and Uncle Dick's 50th Anniversary too. Sunday they are having a party for both. The Bassett picture is for Uncle Dick today 🎉

 

 Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom is well. The sun is out and shining and it is warm as always but that is what you get in the Sunshine State and trust me I am not complaining at all! 

Last night was interesting. We fed the pups, walked them, Mom made dinner, we ate and then we did what we said we would...we put the table together. We started at like 6:30 pm and finished at 7:45 pm. Not bad but poor Mark did most of it as Mom was not feeling the greatest. I ate something that gave me massive heartburn and I could not bend over as it made it worse for me. Mark was a good sport and didn't mind at all. After it was done and finished, Mark & Mom looked at it and thought it was much smaller than the pictures and measurements online. Not sure if it will do what we wanted it to do in the space but we will try and see. If not, Mark said he would take it in his office as it is a bigger desk than what he has now. Guess we will know later tonight on where it is going to go...lol!

Today has been a very slow day for me... It is 1:30 pm and it feels like it is 10 pm. I slept from 10:30 pm to 6:30 pm this morning. I didn't wake up once at all. Guess I was tired. Mark fell asleep around 9:30 pm. He was really tired and was snoring. Mom played her game for a bit and then went to bed. 

We both were up at 6:30 am. Pups were fed and walked and then Mark was upstairs and getting ready to shower so that he could leave for the office. Mom got ready right after. I had breakfast and then was right in the office. Meme and Bob were out for about 1.5 hours this morning. Pups have been super for Mom today. Princess has been sleeping in my room along with Ozzy. It is pretty quiet right now. Meme must be downstairs and Bob is maybe outside again...not sure. Anyways... Mark will be home around 4:30 pm tonight. Mom is making a good dinner. Fried chicken, baked potato and crispy green beans. There will be cake and ice cream for dessert as well. Mark will be happy about that! 

Mom saw some sad news yesterday after I wrote you your letter. A man, Michael Laplante who lived in NH and worked for Charlestown ambulance lost his battle with cancer the other night. He was a wonderful guy and leaves behind his wife and 2 children. He had a love for Superman like you did. I don't know if he ever knew that you had Superman's Van and that it was given to you from Dana and Will Reeves but I have a feeling that he will now and you both will have something to talk about with Christopher and Dana! Mom also did something as well. A few months ago, Mom reached out to Charlie to see how he was doing. I never heard back from him at all so I took it as a sign that he wanted to be left alone because I was off their social media pages as well. It's been several months now and Mom said nothing to no one but I kept getting this urge to reach out again so I did. I texted him and also called him. Let him know our number and if he wanted to call he could. Mom heard nothing at all. Again, I said nothing to one one about this. This afternoon, I got a text from him. He said he received the message a few months back but he has been busy. when I read that, I was kind of angry...really...you are so busy that you can't reach out to me after months? That is the same excuses that I got all the time. Too busy for me but never too busy for everyone else so that is where the distance started between us all. He said he would write more to me later but honestly I will not hold my breath at all. I guess at least he knows that I tried twice now. There is nothing else that I can do with this situation. I guess it will really continue to be like it has now for almost 2 years....

Not much else is going on today. Mom needs to search for her ear buds that go with her cell phone. I know I had them but I can't find them anywhere so I am going to be searching for them until I do find those things. That is what I am doing after I finish this letter to you. Doesn't sound exciting and it is not but it is needed as those things were expensive. I know they are somewhere...lol. Mom will find them. Maybe you can help guide me? I knew where they were before we were moving but not now. It is so frustrating. Mark askes me all the time if I found them. For once I would like to tell him indeed I did! Help me out, Tyler...lol. Thanks pumpkin! 

It is now 2:15 pm. Mom is going to finish this up and get searching. I have had a candle warmer burning all day for you and I will put one on this evening as well. I will whisper to you like I do nightly so smile when you hear Mom and I will smile back to you my sweet precious son. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my true hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live in my heart, mind, body and soul. I miss you more than ever and more than words can say. have fun tonight while I sleep. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Mom looks nightly for a painting in the sky. Maybe tonight will be the night. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💛

 

 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 💙
