Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom is doing alright today. I guess according to Mark I got some sleep last night. I was out like a light around 10:30 pm and I was snoring so loud the pups were moving around like crazy. I woke up and told Mark to turn the TV off and go to bed. That is all I remember. I woke up a couple times during the night but fell right back to sleep. I guess I am just totally exhausted. Hopefully I will get some good sleep again tonight! Mom was up at 7 am and feed the pups and got coffee going for Mark. He got up a little bit after that. Mom noticed that he was laying down sleeping. That is such a great sign...he hasn't been able to do that in over 2 weeks. Things with that are progressing well and he is getting better daily. Tomorrow we will find out the results of his blood work and that breathing test that he did to check for an ulcer. Mom is hoping and praying that everything will be good news and whatever going on with his stomach will be healed in no time. Mom is also going to be starting to say a Sacred Heart Novena prayer that Meme gave to me. She says it daily and if you believe in it, the prayer works. Mom sure does believe in the power of prayer! It is a 9 day prayer and if you think you need to continue with it, you just start over.
Today was the first day that we did not have to go anywhere. we were up and ready thinking that we had to skip out and go get one of Mark's meds but I called the pharmacy and good thing I did because it was still not ready to be picked up. So instead of heading out this morning...Mom did a bit of housework and then made brunch for us. After that was done, I came into my office and paid a bunch of bills and then place a couple orders on line that I needed to. Now I am writing to you and then I will be going to prep for dinner tonight as it will take a bit to do. Tonight will be relaxing and going to bed early as Mark has a doctors appointment early in the morning again....8:30 am. The rest of tomorrow will determine what the doctor tells Mark in the morning at his appointment. The weekend will be relaxing at home and really not going anywhere unless Mark feels up to it. All our errands have been done and bills are paid so we really don't have to go anywhere if we don't want to. Mom just can't believe that Saturday is June 1st. May flew right by. The college graduations are all done and the high school graduations will be coming in the next couple of weeks. It is crazy to think that summer vacation is already upon us again and that pretty soon it will be Fall. The next few months will be super crazy and busy for us all especially if we move. Mark is focusing on all the things he needs to with the loan for the house and finding a job while Mom is focusing on the amounts it will take to move and the realtor. meme is still working on packing things up, donating things and getting ready for a big yard sale in July. She is doing so well. I am so impressed with her. Grandpa and Debbie are slowly doing the same thing. Mom and Mark are as well. Mom has already gotten rid of 6 bags of clothes and items that we didn't use. I know that I have a few more bags to do and then it is bigger stuff like furniture. I don't think that we really will be taking all that much for furniture because the house that we are looking at comes furnished. That is 7 bedrooms and 6 baths that will be all set with everything that we will need. That will be a huge bonus for us. we packed last year and had 100 boxes and this year it will be a lot less than that. Mom is hoping for only 50 boxes this time. I think that all that we will be getting rid of and donating.... we can do that and it will be a very reasonable goal to hit. we also have a few plastic bins as well to use up that will help. Mom is hoping and praying that Mark finds a job soon. We don't have much time. If there is anything that you can do to help us out, that would be super my sweet precious son. It would mean so much to us. Thank you pumpkin!
Not much at all for updates. The phones were quiet on our end last night. I am sure that Grandpa will check in tonight to say hello. Aunt Beck called yesterday and we had a great chat. Meme will call tonight as well to check in and so will Mark's brothers. Everyone has been so good to us on this. We are so blessed and loved in that way. Mom will be sure to update you on things as I know of them.
Last night I had your candle lit and I had to blow it out. The flames on the candle were higher than the glass and then Mom noticed that the glass was burning. It burnt enough to burn the label off the front of the candle. I have never seen anything like that before so tonight I will be lighting another candle for you. Hopefully this one will be better and not do the same thing. Mom will whisper to you later tonight as well. Smile when you hear me and I will smile to you. Have fun tonight while we sleep. Come visit in my dreams if you can. I would love that so much. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you in the afternoon. 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. I miss you so much, Tyler. My heart hurts every single day.
Mom needs to get going for today as it is after 4 pm and I need to get things going for dinner. Please continue to watch over us like I know you do but I always want to ask. Continue to fly high and free. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is the prayer for the day:
Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. Psalm 103:1–3, NIV
Lord our God, O Holy One, we thank you that we may lay aside our own nature and be lifted in spirit above all that is temporal and human and have joy in you. In spite of all the evil surrounding us, in spite of the thousandfold misery of humankind, we may still rejoice in you, in all you do and will yet do for us. Grant that we may go on rejoicing, having joy together, helping instead of burdening each other, until this earth is filled with the jubilation of those you have so richly blest. Forgive us all our sins. Heal us in mind and body. Deliver us from all the corruption that tries to take hold of our souls. Amen.
