Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom just got home from her nail appointment. I have about 30 minutes to write before it is time to get the pups fed and walked and then cook dinner for us. Today is another hot and muggy day. The temp is 98 degrees in the shade so I will assume that it is about 101 in the sun. It is brutal out there! It is nice to be back in AC....lol

This morning was an early one. We were up at 6:30 am. Pups were fed and walked around 7 am. Mom came upstairs and immediately got ready. Mark went to work. I took my shower, painted my toe nails and then basically sent emails and have 2 long phone calls. One was with Debbie and Grandpa and the other one was with the legal firm. Meme didn't have the best morning either. Rocky was taken to the vets as one side of his face was swollen. They were gone for 3 hours or longer. Diagnosis was that he has a bad tooth and it needs to be pulled. The doctor also said that he needs to go through a battery of tests as it may be that he has an oral tumor. That part is not good. Poor little Rocky. Mom will be praying for him. He goes back in 2 weeks to have these done. Meme is a wreck. Rightfully so! Mom will keep you posted on that as I know of things. 

Meme got to go to the nail appointment with me. I drove the jeep. It was fun. I got a different color this time. I got like a neon purple and then glitter on some as well. It came out nice. Meme got this mint green color with glitter over hers. They came out nice! Now we are home and everyone is tired. Mom is exhausted right now. Meme is tired, Mark is working and Bob is sick with the cold that I had for 2 weeks. I will be staying away from him as I do not want it again. I hope it passes quickly for him instead of the 2 weeks for Mom and Mark. Not much else is new. Mom has all her boxes out now and that is a wrap for the June Box. Next box is August and that is Mom's 1 year Anniversary. Not sure about this one just yet but I will come up with something! I want to make it special. 

Mom hopes that you are doing all the things that you want to do and need to do. I hope that you have fun tonight while Mom gets some sleep. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. I am hoping that the renters are quiet tonight as they were not last night. They started in at 7 pm and continues until 10 pm and then started back up at 10:30 pm and went until 1 am. If it happens again this evening then I will be calling the police. I dread the 4th of July here again. Last year was horrible. I am sure this year will be the same. way. Lucky us...NOT! It is on a Sunday so I am hoping it won't be too too bad...time will tell and we shall see. 

Mom needs to get going for today as it is going on 4:30 pm. I have a lot of prep work for dinner tonight. Mark sounds like he is playing his video game so work must be done. Pups are sleeping for now but will wake up when I leave my office. Mom will be getting up early to go get her vehicle tomorrow. I should be home by 10 am. I will write to you during the day. Please continue to watch over us and keep us safe and healthy. Thank 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. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams. I will whisper to you later this evening. smile for me and I will smile back. I miss you...more than ever and more than words can say.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo 💙

 

Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? It is 3 pm already and Mom has been crazy busy today. I am completely exhausted if I am being honest!  I am sorry that it has been 3 days since I wrote to you again on here. Friday, Saturday and Sunday were just days that were busy and then the nights were tiring. Let me fill you in on what has been happening.

Friday~ Mom was up early and I was either on the phone, texting, emailing or taking the day to curate my boxes. I know I finished up around 5:30 pm, fed the pups, walked them, had dinner and then crashed for the rest of the evening. 

Saturday~ Mark & Mom ventured out for the first time in 2 weeks. We were feeling ok so we said "why not"....not sure that was the best idea at all. Mom had a dress to exchange so we got up early, went to the post office to ship out all my boxes and then off to Disney Springs for a little bit. We got there at 11 am and we left at 1 pm. It was a warm day there so we didn't want to stay long. We went into 3-4 stores and left. We grabbed takeout and headed home. We ate, fed the pups, walked them and then we got a nasty thunderstorm. we did nothing the rest of the evening as Mark and mom were so tired from being out. We crashed around 9:30 pm.

Sunday~ Mom and Mark were up at the usual time feeding the pups, walking them and then doing things around the house. After we got done those things, we took a shower, got ready and went out and ran errands for a little bit. Mom hit a couple stores that I needed to go to and then we came back home, had a very late lunch/early dinner and then relaxed for a little while. Mom had to do some cleaning so Mark played his game with his brothers. 5 pm we fed the pups, walked them and then came upstairs watched tv, played a bit of golf (Mom won both games...lol) and then we went to bed.

Monday~ That is today. Mom was up at 6:30 am. Couldn't fall back to sleep so I got up. The pups were fed and walked, few chores were done and then I came up to my office and started all the phone calls that I needed to do. It was constant from 7:30 am until 11:45 am. Mom's head was spinning from it all. The calls were all about my car. There were 6-7 calls total. By the time I was finished Mom had such a headache. I grabbed something to eat and chilled out for a few minutes. Then I got up, took a shower and have been back at it again for the remainder of the day. Tonight will be all about having dinner and relaxing. Mark is still not 100% better yet and Mom is just tired from today and everything that happened. I wanted to write to you now as I know later I will not have the time to really do it and I didn't want it to go on for a 4th day without writing to you. 

I have a few updates for you about Mom's car.... ok...first off the guy who we bought it from was shady and a real SOB in plain english. He still continued to have no communication with me at all and Mom was the one who had to constantly get in touch with him. He said he did things to fix the car and he didn't. He got caught in several lies and Mom told him that. The car was towed from his place of business to an actual authentic VW dealership. The service guys there are outstanding! His name is Tony and he listened to Mom and was so patient. They did a safety check on the entire vehicle and also looked over what the other mechanic did. They found that he lied about the steering and car alignment so they went ahead and did that. I just got a call a few minutes ago and the car is completed and I can go get it on Wednesday morning. They have given it a 100% seal of approval and Mom's car is as safe ass it can be now. I feel so much better about it. I have a safe car, a new service place for it and I couldn't be happier! I have the warranty company sending me my refund check in the mail as well. The last 2 weeks have been hell but after today it was all worth it and Mom will have her car back again. Funny how things go from awful to turmoil to good! Power of prayer is amazing! 

I haven't spoken to anyone in our family at all for over a week. I will have to reach out to them this week as I have time. My boxes are all done now. I have 5 remaining before I sell out again! I hope to sell out within the next few days...that would be amazing! Mom did received a voicemail from Aunt Shirley asking why I never call, etc... I didn't really respond as I was a bit ugly when I heard that. Mom has been straight out for over 2 weeks...more like 8 weeks and I barely have time to write to you and do the other things I need to and I get someone trying to guilt me into why I don't call. I understand that she can't really see anymore but Richard is there and he could help her dial the phone to call people. I guess it irritated Mom in the wrong way. It is not like I sit here and do nothing and just don't call anyone...far from it... anyways... I will update you more on that at a later time. The pool is acting up again. The pool guy has been here 3 times in a week and I guess they are treating it for something. That means no pool for 10 days again....ugh! We were supposed to have friends over this Saturday for a BBQ and pool, games, music and fun but Mom had to cancel it because of the pool issues. We were disappointed to say the least. We are hoping to reschedule in a couple weeks. ACs are working good now and the power in the front rooms seem to be fixed as well. Things are slowly getting back to the way they should be so that is a nice change. Mark is feeling 100% better from the Covid shot and he is almost done with the cold. He isn't coughing much today which is good. Mom and Meme have appointments tomorrow and Mark is headed to the office for the day. Wednesday morning I go and get my car so I will leave at 7:30 am and get home around 9:30 am...just in time to start the day here. So far a non busy week is turning into a busy week...lol. That is about all I have for now. Mom needs to get going as it is after 4 pm. Dinner routine will be happening in less than 45 minutes. Mom will write to you again tomorrow afternoon when I get home. I will light the candle this evening for you and I will whisper to you before I fall asleep. Smile for me when you hear my voice and I will smile to 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. Have fun tonight while I sleep and come visit if you can. It's been awhile since you have and also a bit since I have seen a painting in the sky. Hope I get both very soon. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams later. I miss you more than anything in this world and more than words can say.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💜

 

 Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? It is going on 4:45 pm so Mom doesn't have a lot of time to write today but I wanted to write you a short letter instead of missing another day again. I am so sorry for the scattered letters lately. Mom is just busy and it seems like I don't have enough time in the day to do all that I need to do. Yesterday was a horrible day. I was up early getting the pups taken care of and then I got ready and was in my office all day long. I was on the phone, emailing, texting so many people and then the rest of the day I did some of my boxes. I finished that up at 5 pm and then made dinner and basically crashed the rest of the night. Mark is still sick with the cold that Mom had. He took a hot bath and then went to sleep. Mom called it a night at 9:45 pm just to be woken up at 12 midnight with Mark's phone ringing because he is on call this week. It took me forever to fall back to sleep. 

This morning it was tough to get up as I was so tired...Mark as well. He didn't get much sleep at all. This is day 4 for him. He is coughing all the time, sneezing, blowing his nose, etc... just like Mom was. I still am not over it and it is day 9 for me. I am better than Mark but I am by no means done with this cold. Hopefully in a few days I will be and same for Mark. Mom got the pups taken care of this morning and then got ready and left at 8:15 am. I went to the post office and then grocery shopping. I put it off for so long that I couldn't any longer. I got home at 10:15 am and came right into my office and started the calls, emails and text messages again. I finally started doing my boxes at 12 noon. I got all but 10 done. I will finish them up tomorrow, print labels and then get them out in the mail Saturday! I still made it in the time frame that I needed to so that all worked out. 

Here are the updates that I know of for the week.... My car is still being worked on. It is day 9 now and I texted the guy to see what was going on and received nothing. I contacted an attorneys office yesterday and have been chatting with them for the last 2 days. I did call the guy this afternoon. He said that they fixed the rack and pinion and now they need to do the ABS system. He thinks it will be covered under the warranty. No time frame to when it will be finished though. Mom is not happy at all with this that is why there is a lawyer involved at this time. We found out the guy who screwed us with the sale of our house purchased the house 2 doors down from us. We came face to face with him a couple days ago. We were to say the least pissed. No words were exchanged at all but the looks were ugly. Our pool is all screwed up again. Not sure what is going on at all but we are not happy about that either. The last 8 weeks have been hell for us here since the move didn't go through. Washer/dryer crapped out, power in part of the house crapped out, both AC's needed replacing, the pool needing lots of work, Mark's vehicle, Mom's vehicle, and now the pool again. I am not sure what is going on and happening but it can all stop anytime. It is super expensive that is for sure. 

Mom spoke to Aunt Beck the other night for over 1.5 hours. That was so nice. We had the time to catch up on things. They are back in VT now. She seems miserable to be back there. She goes back to AZ at the beginning of September and I don't think it is soon enough for her! Guess Bean is good. Didn't talk about her much. She said she would call again soon when she got the time. Spoke to Grandpa the same night. All is good there. I sure do miss everyone so much. I miss you more than words can say. I love you with all my heart and soul. To the moon and back and all the way around the world. You will always be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Hard to believe that in 17 days you will have been gone for 8 years. How can that be???? Every day since has been so hard on Mom. I guess I should have been an actress because no one sees through it at all. I know you see it from where you are. Mom will be okay so don't worry my sweet precious son. 

Mom has to go as it is after 5 pm and time to start the night routine plus we going to get a bad thunderstorm any minute now. It is dark and the wind is whipping. I will write more to you tomorrow. I will light the candle this evening for you and I will whisper to you as I always do. Smile and I will smile to you. Please watch over us and keep us healthy and safe. Thanks pumpkin. Have fun while I sleep tonight. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. remember...you live in my heart, mind, body and soul forever. 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? Mom is doing alright. I would like to say that I am great but that would be a big fat lie! I am sorry that 2 more days have gone by and I didn't write to you. It has been crazy here and Mom has had her hands full with everything. Let me explain....

It was a long weekend for Memorial Day. We did absolutely nothing and we went no where at all! It was hot, muggy and at times rainy. The weather was weird but just the same...we did nothing. Friday night we had pizza and watched the new Disney movie...Cruella! It was amazing and we all loved it. I know you would have as well. She is the villain to the 101 Dalmatians cartoon. It definitely was not kid friendly for sure. That movie got over at 8:30 pm. we went to bed after as Mom was tired and still sick. 

Saturday~ Got up at the same time as always. Pups walked and fed. Mark played his video game all day with his brother while Mom worked on getting things set for her boxes. We ate dinner, watched tv and then went to bed. we never even went outside at all other then to walk the pups.

Sunday~ Mark caught what Mom has. He began to get so sick. He did nothing all day except play his video game with his brother again. Mom did laundry, housework and then worked on the write up for her boxes. We did cook out on the grill for dinner but that was it. Bed time was very early. 

Monday~ OMG....Mark is super sick, Mom is still sick and we are both ugly and short-tempered! Pups were taken care of in the morning and night. Mark stayed in his office all day long...again playing his video game. Mom chatted on the phone for a bit and then cleaned my office up. I spoke to Grandpa last night. All is well there. We literally did nothing. Ate dinner, cleaned up, watched tv and Mark was asleep by 9:30 pm. 

Tuesday~ That is today. Mark has worked all day. Good thing it has been quiet for him though. He has barely talked. He is feeling like I did last Wednesday through Friday. He didn't sleep. Mom didn't either as I was coughing so much. I got up at 6 am because I couldn't sleep. My cold is doing better but not 100% yet. I have been taking medicine twice daily to help me out. Tonight we are bot taking the night stuff. It will knock our butts out....lol. We need the sleep though. Mom has heard nothing about her car at all. It is day 8 now. I did contact a legal firm. I am waiting to hear back from them. Hopefully tomorrow will be the day. I had many other calls and emails that have been happening as well. I got 5 boxes done and taped up to send out tomorrow morning. I will be working on curating all my boxes this week and shipping them out over the weekend. Little at a time so I can take my time and not rush and be overwhelmed. I need to pace myself this time and not get sick again. Tonight will be a quick dinner and probably back upstairs to watch tv so that Mark can rest. Tomorrow is another day to start fresh and make things happen. A good night rest will help and do wonders for us both. 

Mom will light the candle tonight and whisper to you before bed as well. Smile when you hear me and I will smile back to you. Please watch over us my sweet precious son. Keep us healthy and safe from all that is going on in this world. So much sickness, hate, etc... Thank you. Mom will write to you again tomorrow afternoon. 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 in my heart, mind, body and soul. Have fun tonight while I sleep. Come visit me if you can. Mom has to go to work on her boxes for a bit before dinner. Not much time though as it is 3:49 pm. Oh well. I can get a couple done. That is more than what I had before! Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams. 

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💛
