Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom & Mark are hanging in there with all this weather. Last night things were pretty mellow as it was raining & a little wind all through the night but this morning is a different story. The rain has been steady & heavy all day long & the wind is massive. It was just gusts every once in awhile but for the last 4 hours it has been winds of 40 mph constantly. According to the weather channel it is suppose to be this way for us here until Saturday. Not liking that but nothing we can do either. Mom heart continues to break for all the folks in the USVI & Puerto Rico as the eye of Hurricane Maria is heading directly towards them. The weather channel stated to all who live there that they must evacuate or they will die. That is so scary. What if they have no where to go & they have to stay where they live? All of this disaster weather is horrible & way too much for all those folks to get hit a second time in 2 weeks. Mom is praying for them all in hopes that they are able to take shelter & that things won't be as bad as they are predicting. Every one is in my thoughts. Mom will keep you updated on things here daily though.
Not much for updates for you I am afraid. Everyone is doing the best they can do. Meme has called a couple times & we have chatted & I spoke to Grandpa as well. Aunt Beck messaged Mom yesterday & told me they are home so I will touch base with her later today. Other than that things are very quiet. Mark has a pretty easy week for work. He will be heading into the office again tomorrow & Mom really needs to get going on her studying. It has been a month now since I have done any studying. Tomorrow will be a good day to restart as I will be here & it will be another day like today. Be with Mom as I start studying again. Mom is always asking you to be with her as I need you by my side always. I miss you so much my sweet precious son. I miss it all..... your voice, your laugh, your smile, your jokes, your advice....everything! It is 4 years & 3 months today since you passed away. Time does not make it easier at all. It makes it harder. Mom tries really hard, I really do. Some days are better than others but not many I am afraid. I will continue to try as I know you would want Mom too. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You are inside my heart, mind, body & soul forever. Mom will whisper to you later this evening so smile when you hear Mom & I will smile just for you. Mom hopes that you have a wonderful; & peaceful evening doing all the things you need to do & want to do in the heavens above. Come be with Mom & visit me in my dreams if you can. Thank you. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you providing that everything is alright here where I am. The winds are getting stronger now. Mom has the balcony door open & I can hear the wind slamming the door against the window. Guess I better go & close it. I don't want any damage done to the apartment. Before I go here are a couple prayers for the day & a poem I found:
By God's grace, may you eliminate hurry and worry from your life. May you instead slow your pace and turn your face to the One who loves, saves, redeems, and restores everything about you. Instead of grabbing for yourself, may you pause and wait and see how God provides and cares for you. May you enter into a new season where you know God's rest, His pace, and His provision like you've never know before. He's for you and with you in ways you can't even imagine!
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him”
(1 Corinthians 2:9 NIV).
May you--more and more in the days ahead--take your cues from God (and not from culture), and become a powerful, praying saint! May you dream big dreams with God! May you pray prayers that make your knees buckle and your heart tremble as you entrust your whole soul and story to the God of the Universe. He intends to solve some of the world's problems through you. When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Lord raises a standard against him. This is no time for cowering in fear. This is a time to rise up in faith! Trust God's Word. Believe His promises. Do what He says. And in due time, you'll see the waters part, the mountains move, and the answers you've been waiting for. You are mighty in God. Walk full-of-faith today!
I wish you enough!

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Goodbye."
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Goodbye."
I wish you enough!
Mom is going to get going as the weather is getting worse. I love you more than all the stars in the sky.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
