Dear Tyler, 

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday evening? Mom is doing alright tonight! Again,  I am so sorry that I didn't get the chance to write to you yesterday. There is no excuses to why other than it was a busy day all day long. Mom got up at her usual time. Feed the pups and then took them for their walk. After that, Mom got ready and then both Mark and I went grocery shopping. We were in the store probably for about a little over an hour. We got lunch and brought it back home for everyone. We all ate and then Mom put all the stuff away. It was sunny and super warm so Mark and Mom decided to go in the pool. We were outside for over 2 hours. We dried off and then made dinner, ate and then chose to watch a movie. We watched the new Dr. Doolittle. It was a very cute movie. You would have loved it! That didn't get over until after 8 pm. We cleaned up and tgen walked the dogs for the last time. When we came upstairs, Mom called Grandpa to say hello. We didn't finish talking until after 9:30 pm. Mom was so tired from the warmth and the pool that I fell asleep at 10 pm. I actually got some good sleep for once. Mom was up at 7 am this morning as well. Same routine.... fed the pups and took them for their walk. I relaxed for about 40 minutes and then got ready to leave. Mark and Mom left to go shopping around 9:45 am. We returned home around 12 noon. We picked up a couple of lounger for the pool and then Mom got a fre odds and ends. I spent my Birthday money. That was fun. Mark and Mom decided to eat something and while it wasn't raining, we went in the pool. Very cloudy but muggy. It was refreshing and fun. Sat outside and relaxed until it started raining. We are suppose to get a bunch of rain and thunderstorms all day tomorrow and Tuesday. I hope not too many for the pups. Right now, everyone is kinda doing their own thing. Mark is rearranging his office. He put a 50" tv on his wall and got some new bins for his closet, Bob is on the computer and Meme is watching TV. The pups are sleeping. Mom just gave them a bath! We are ordering a pizza for dinner and we promised Meme that we would watch a movie tonight. After that is over with we will walk the pups and then head upstairs to probably watch some TV before going to bed. Tomorrow is Memorial Day so Mark is off. We have no plans at all due to the crappy weather. That's ok though. Mom has a few things she can do that I have been putting off and the temps are suppose to be cool as well. Good day to get that all done!  Mom is sure that you are busy doing all kinds of things that you need to do. I hope you are having a bit of fun as well. Mom will light a candle for you tonight and whisper to you before I fall asleep. Smile for me and I will smile to you. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. 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. I will write to you again tomorrow afternoon...I promise to do better this coming week then I did this past week. I hope you can forgive me again. Mom has to end this letter now. Dogs need to be fed and tgen walked if its not raining out. Our dinner was already ordered and then it's movie time. Please continue to watch over us. Keep us safe and healthy. Thank you my sweet precious son. Until tomorrow comes.... good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💗

Mom's new do!




Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Mom is doing alright but for some reason I am very tired today. I was doing good this morning. Got a lot done and was productive but this afternoon has been a totally different story. It is 3:30 pm and I could close my eyes and just fall asleep. Mom is sorry that once again I didn't write a letter yesterday. I am pretty much sucking this week with writing you your letters. Please forgive me. This week has been crazy and busy. Yesterday, Mom and Meme left at 11 am and never got home until after 4 pm. Mom's hair appointment was over 3 hours long. I had blonde highlights done and then after that I had a few pink ones put in. I will post that picture on here tonight for you. I like it a lot but I know it is not going to stay for long at all. It was a fun color to do and I will enjoy it for the next week or so! When we got home, Neither Meme or I had anything to eat or drink all day long. We were hot as it was 99 degrees here yesterday, tired, thirsty and hungry. Mom made dinner about 30 minutes after we got home and then around 6 pm....we had severe thunderstorms and the rain was heavy and wind was just whipping. That lasted for about 2 hours or more. Mom fell asleep around 10 pm after watching TV for 3 hours. Mark was still awake at 12 midnight. He finally turned the TV off and Mom finally could get some pretty good sleep. We were up at 7 am. Pups got fed, they went for their morning walk and then we all relaxed for a bit. Meme and Bob left for his doctors appointment. He had blood work done. He goes next week for an appointment face to face with his PCP. That will be interesting. She will see that he has gained a lot of weight again and she will hear that he has been not following her directions with not exercising and eating a sugar free diet. I hope she yells at him and is firm. He needs it. We all tell him here and he could give a sh*t. He was yelling at Meme today when I was downstairs. I walked away. He believes that him doing nothing all day, every day is just fine but no it is not! It is annoying and we are all tired of it. Anyways... while they were gone this morning, Mom vacuumed the floors, did laundry, changed some door knobs on the pantry and closet doors, stripped the bed and made it, got to chat with Bonnie for a few and then I got ready. After that, I went downstairs and made something to eat and then to my office I went. Mom is trying to lock down what I want in my subscription box for the very first one. I need to get it right and do a good job with it. I will take this weekend to figure it out and by Tuesday I should be ready to work with the company who will help me launch it. It is exciting and nerve racking all at the same time....lol! I have a few people already interested in it so that is a good thing! This weekend is the holiday weekend. It is Memorial Day Weekend. This is the weekend where everything usually opens up for the summer season. This year is a totally different thing. Most places are still closed down or they are limited to how many people can go to the beaches, parks, lakes, etc.... The Covid-19 is still very apparent. Numbers in some states are still climbing. I think the last time I saw the numbers it said over 1.5 million tested positive and now there is over 90,000 deaths throughout the United States alone. This is so sad. It breaks Mom's heart that there is so much sadness going on in this world. There was a picture that went viral and it showed 2 nurses in the window looking at people in the parking lot. One sign said: He is at peace now and the 2nd sign said: We are so sorry. The people in the parking lot lost their Dad. People are seeing all these things, hearing things but yet they still are not doing what we all need to do. Social distancing, staying home is still very much needed. No one is listening and no one really is caring all of a sudden. When Mom is in public, there are so many that are not staying 6 ft apart, not wearing masks, etc.... it makes Mom not want to go anywhere. Yesterday, I did go to a retail store. The first time in over 4 months. You had to wait in line outside before entering the store. Only a certain amount were allowed inside at one time. The store was bare. I was so shocked. After what we had to do, I have no desire to go to it again for a long time. I don't need anything that bad! I know why it has to be done, it puts a lot into perspective for me even more than before. Mom is still praying for everyone all over the world. I pray for those who have been tested positive, for those who have lost a loved one and Mom prays for everyone to stay safe and healthy here. I know you are watching over us and I thank you so much for that. I know you, the angels and God are keeping us healthy and safe every day and night. I thank you all for everything every single day and night. The power of prayer is wonderful. I believe and that is what matters! Please continue to watch over us. Thank you. It is after 4 pm now. Mom needs to be thinking of what to cook for dinner tonight. It might be tacos or pasta...not sure. I need to be getting the stuff set for the pups and then take them for a nice walk. The painters are here again. They better be done today as Mom is just so fed up with them it is not funny. They said they would arrive at 10 am yesterday and never showed until after 2 pm and left at 5 pm. Today they arrived at 2 pm again. I hope that this company gives me a review to do or if not then I might find their website and leave my own. 3 weeks today...not acceptable at all! People need to be aware of this. Anyways... the weekend is going to be hot hot hot again. Mom will be writing to you at night time as I will be spending my days outside by the pool. It will be a lot of sitting out, swimming, sun bathing and grilling this weekend! Mark has a 3 day weekend as well so that is nice! Oh yeah...he had his doctor's video call. Mom diagnosed him correctly. I hate being right...lol. He got a prescription and the doc said he should see a 90% difference by next week. If not he will have to be seen! Mom will keep you posted. 
 Have fun tonight while I get some sleep. Visit me in my dreams if you can. I miss you so much. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You live in my heart, mind, body and soul forever. I will light your candle and whisper to you tonight. Smile to Mom and I will smile back to you to. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams. Remember, you will always be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah ❤

Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. Again... I am tired but I am doing alright. Mark's last day of his class was today and we made it through the 3 days. He is exhausted...more than Mom but we are both so glad that it is over with. I am proud and happy for him as I know that was not easy at all. Tomorrow we will be able to sleep in until 6 am...lol. Hey that is 3 hours more than we have gotten the last 3 days so we both will take it! 
 Last night it was crazy. Mark decided to put the TV on the wall. He thought it would take an hour to do it and that was a lie. It took almost 3 hours from start to finish but he did it! I was very impressed as I know he was so tired from the day. Mom stayed out of the way while he did it and then I put everything back in its place and vacuumed and mopped again. We took the pups out at 9:15 pm and then we went to bed and Mark crashed. Mom stayed awake until after 10:30 pm as I was not feeling well and I couldn't sleep. I finally fell asleep at 2 am and up at 6 am and then again at exactly 7 am. Mom fed the pups and took them for their walk. Meme had made coffee so I didn't have to. After that was done, I had to go outside to see what still needed to be done on the house. Meme and I made a list and agreed on it. The painters said they would be at 11 am and at 2 pm we got a text saying they were not going to be coming today...surprise surprise! Mom texted back and basically told them it was unacceptable now. There have been far too many excuses to why they can't get here every day. He says it is Kara, the lady that he works with and she has other excuses. I told them I didn't want to hear them anymore and that I wanted their bosses name and number because I wanted to talk to him directly. 1 week of work has taken them 3 weeks now and half that time they haven't been here at all. Mom told them it needs to be finished up by Friday and no later. I was done with all the BS. I don't like being this way at all but Mom doesn't know what to do anymore. If they were at someone else's house they would not be tolerating what they have done so why should we? The text I received back was that I was correct...he apologized to me over and over. I know it is not his fault to an extent as I believe it is the ladies. Yesterday she was a real B*tch and had an attitude. Meme saw it as well. she was really lucky that I was tired because if I wasn't I would have told her to leave right then and there. They both are hired to do a job...period...don't give an attitude when you are being called out for things you are not doing. She picked the wrong one to mess with. Ugh.... anyways....
 Today Mom finished the downstairs where the TV used to be on the mantle of the fireplace and now on the wall. I had a few things to rearrange. Then a pest control guy came and did what he needed to do inside the house, then the Schwan's guy came to delivery some groceries. All happened right in a row. After that was all settled, Mom finished what she was doing. I came upstairs to get ready and make the bed but Princess wanted to go outside so instead we took them for a walk. Then Mom decided to clean the pool and Mark got a baby gecko out of the pool area before Princess got it. He was so small and cute. He was freed! Mom decided to chill out for a bit and I played around on my computer before writing to you right now. It is 4 pm already. When I am finished I will be taking a shower and then getting the night routine started. I will be feeding the pups, taking them for a walk and then getting dinner going for us. Not sure what that is going to be but I will put something together. Later tonight will be all about watching TV for a change and relaxing before walking the dogs one last time later tonight and then it will be bed. I have a feeling that Mark will be crashing early again tonight. He needs the sleep so no worries. Tomorrow Mom and Meme get to go to the hair dresses for the first time in 10 weeks. Mom is going to get the usual...blonde highlights but also a bit of color and adding some pink in there! It should be fun. Just changing things up for a bit! Mom will post a picture on here tomorrow. I have a late appointment and not sure when I will be getting home so I will probably write to you later tomorrow night. Tonight though, I will light a candle for you and whisper to you later before I go to bed. Smile when you hear Mom and I will smile back to you my sweet precious son. I hope that you will have fun while I am sleeping. I am sure you are busy doing all that you are needing to do but hope you get some fun in! Please continue to watch over Mom and all of us here. Keep us healthy and safe, pumpkin. Thank you! Mom appreciates it so much. 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. Mom is going to get going for now but again... I will be back tomorrow with another letter. Until then... good night and sweet dreams, Tyler.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah ❤

Tuesday, May 19, 2020










Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday late afternoon? Mom is completely exhausted! I am sorry that I didn't write you a letter again yesterday but things were crazy here. The weather was a mess...we have a lot of thunder and lightning storms through the day and Mark has been in a class yesterday and today and also tomorrow that is in European time and it starts at 4 am and goes until 2 pm here in the States. To say the least, Mom is up at that time as well and not getting much sleep because I have to take care of the pups. Yesterday, Mom also did a lot of work. I did laundry, I mopped and vacuumed the floors downstairs, I rearranged the entire living room and dusted everything. I got done at 4:30 pm. Just enough time to feed the pups and take them for a walk before we sat down to eat dinner. After that, Mom crashed on the couch and watched TV for about 2 hrs before coming upstairs to bed for the night. Mark was asleep at 9 pm and Mom wasn't that far after. Tomorrow is the last day of this dang class and I will be happy with that. I am sure he will be as well. Mark is even more exhausted than me. I will let you know how things are on tomorrows letter to you. 
 Today has been a busy day as well. Mom was up at the crack of dawn with Mark. I did manage to fall back to sleep for maybe a couple hour and then I was up. I fed the pups, took them for their walk and then I relaxed for about an hour before making the bed, showering and then getting the day started. We had Lefty come and take some garbage for us and I chatted with him for a bit. Mom came upstairs and went into her office...I made a few calls and then sent some emails out. After that, Meme and Mom headed out to Walmart. We didn't go to the usual one. We went to the one we used to go to and now I know why I stopped going to this one...never again though. I will drive 3 more miles to the other one in Kissimmee! Mom needed to buy Mark some soap and stuff and then I was on the hunt for a surprise for him. I didn't get it there though but I did manage to get it at Best Buy. I was so happy! We were gone for almost 3 hours because we had to wait over an hour to get the surprise. It was worth it though. we got home, unloaded to car, put everything away and we showed him his surprise.... it is a 65" flat screen TV with built in Roku. We also got him the tilted wall mount for it too. When he saw it... I think he was shocked! He definitely was surprised. He works hard for us and he deserves it! He is at the store right now looking for a stud finder so that he can mount it to the wall. Not sure if he will do it tonight or tomorrow afternoon. Either way he got a bigger TV that he has wanted. 
 The painters are finally here today after not being here for 6 days. They were not really pleasant to Mom either. I don't care. They are not my friends...they are hired to do a job and do it correctly....period! If it is not done right then they will continue to fix it until it is. The lady, Kara was a royal b*tch to me. I gave it right back too! She doesn't want to take that tone or attitude with me at all or Mom will put her in her place! There is no need for dragging this out for as long as they have. They have had every excuse on why that haven't been here. I am done with that! Good news... Mom was able to get Meme's money back from the previous man that was going to do it and fell from the roof. He is doing well too. We found that out a couple days ago. We are happy that he is getting better and is able to walk with crutches now. Can't believe that incident was 5 weeks ago. That is crazy. Ozzy is now off all the medicine. He has none left. Today, Bob was not watching what he was doing and opened the gate and Ozzy ran down the stairs. Mom was bullsh*t at Bob. He didn't even care that he did it. He hurt and ended Skittles life in a very bad way and I will be damned if he hurts Ozzy as well. Mom is hoping and praying that he will do well without the medicine now but I see where the bump on his back is back and is pretty bad. He doesn't seem to be in pain right now though. Please watch over him, Tyler. Mom is hoping for the best for our little guy. Thank you, pumpkin! 
 Today is May 19th.... 1 year ago today, Mark was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. It is the day he got hurt. What a difference a year makes. 3 months later he got hurt again though. He is doing well with all that but Mark is very skinny. Too skinny. He doesn't see it but we all do. It is concerning. This Thursday he has a teleconference call with his doctor about something going on with his hands. Mom thinks he developed eczema because of washing his hands constantly. They are all red, raw and cracked. Poor guy. We will find out on Thursday what is going on and the protocol to what we do for him. everyone else seems to be well. I haven't heard from anyone at all so I am assuming that things are good. I got tired of being the only one who called so I stopped. I will no longer put the effort in to those who don't to me. They are living their life which is great and Mom is living hers. I will call Grandpa though either later tonight or tomorrow night after Mark's classes are finished up. I will update you later on that!
 For now, Meme made us all dinner and it is time to eat. I just heard her say it. Mark just got home as well so perfect timing. We have to feed the pups and then walk them before we eat though. Mom will light a candle tonight and whisper to you later. smile for me and I will smile to you. 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 continue to watch over us and keep us safe, healthy and happy. Thank you my sweet precious son. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams! Mom misses you more than words can say....forever!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah ❤
