Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Today is May 15th and you know what day it is, well besides Hump Day... yup it is Mom's Birthday today. I became 48 years old officially at 1:02 pm this afternoon. Mom has been feeling all kinds of love from family and friends today. So many people have wished me Happy Birthday though text, messages, social media and phone calls. I have taken the time to thank everyone personally too because they took time out of their day to tell me. I think that is only right and fair. This morning in my facebook memories I came across the same message that shows up in it every year and that was from you, Tyler. You wished Mom a Happy Birthday and told me that you missed and loved me. That was back on this day in 2013.... just 1 month and 5 days before you went away. If I had only known..... I cherish that message from you and I hold it close to my heart. I look for it every year now. Thank you so much for giving me one of the most beautiful memories I could ask for my sweet precious son.
Mom was up at 6:15 am while Mark got ready to leave to go to work. He left around 7 am....the usual time he has been leaving every morning for the last 6 days now. He is not happy about it and he is so tired every night. We get about 2 hours together before it is time for bed and then he gets up to leave again. we really look forward to the weekends now that is for sure. He has 2 more weeks of this and then he is finished with this client. Mom will be happy and so will he!
Mom did not do any studying at all and I said I was not going to today either. I have been on the phone most of the day. It has been a nice change of pace. I had done 3 lessons and 3 exams in 2 days. I needed a break. Mom is going to enjoy the rest of her Birthday by relaxing and painting her toe nails and watching TV. Mark is ordering dinner tonight so that I do not have to cook. That is sweet. Tomorrow will be a day that Mom is up early, cleaning, laundry and getting things ready for everyone to be here on Friday morning. We are all excited!
The weather has been a very nice surprise for Mom today. They said it was suppose to be cloudy all day and no sun. I asked for some sunshine and I got it. The skies are pretty cloudy but there are blue skies too. The sun has peeked out here and there too. It has made Mom smile so big and I have said thank you so many times. The sun is suppose to come out around 4 pm until 7 pm so I am hoping for a painting in the sky. I hope you have time to paint me one for my Birthday, Tyler. We shall see. We still have about 6 hours before sun set tonight.
Mom has had a new candle lit for you all day today. I whispered to you when I lit it so I hope you heard Mom. I will whisper to you again later tonight. Smile for me and I will picture that smile I miss so much. I will smile back to you too. I hope you have fun tonight while Mom is sleeping. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. I will be waiting to see you. I miss you more than words and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. To infinity and beyond. You are and always will be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. For now, Mom is going to go relax for the rest of the day and night and relax and remember all the wonderful times that I have had on previous Birthdays with you and everyone else. If you see Mom shed some tears... know they are happy tears, Tyler. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams later.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is the prayer for the day:
Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Psalm 100:3, NIV
Father in heaven, may we recognize and acknowledge that you are God. You have made us, and not we ourselves, to be your people and the sheep of your pasture. Baptize us with the truth we need throughout our lives. Give us the gift to discern who we are and what we should become. Free our eyes from all deception so that we can no longer delude ourselves with short-lived, earthly things. Clear our eyes to see what is eternal in and around us. Make us children, true children, who awake to exult and rejoice in what is childlike and who give thanks to you, O God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen
