Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Mom is doing alright but I am just so dang tired. I am sorry that I didn't write to you yesterday but I had a rough night with Mark and the pups on Friday night and we had a very rough night last night as well. Went to bed at 10:30 pm and up at 12 midnight with the pups because of thunderstorms until about 2 am and then up at 6 am and again at 7 am to feed them. Mark had a very rough day yesterday and last night. Mom thought that I was going to have to call an ambulance again for him. The steroids that he is on are making him pretty sick. Lots of acid reflex, blurry vision and then last night his lower back stiffened up and he could not walk at all. That happened around 8 pm. Grandpa called around that time to check up on us and we spoke for a brief few minutes. Mom is hoping that today will be a better day but it has not started out that way. Mark had to take the medicine at 9 am and about 30 minutes later he was feeling the way he did last night. Mom had a nail appointment scheduled for today but I cancelled it because I didn't want to leave Mark alone and there was no way he was making it to the appointment with me. That is okay though. I will reschedule it for later this week. Today will be another day of laying low and hanging in. Mom has all the housework done, laundry done, garbage thrown out, boxes broken down so I am able to relax all day as well and it will be nice as my body needs it from all the stuff that has happened during the week. I wanted to hop on my computer to write to you quickly while Mark is resting. I never turned on my computer yesterday at all and after this I will be getting off the computer again. Mom just doesn't seem to have a lot of time to herself. I am constantly busy doing things for Mark or the pups. I know it will get better in time. Both Mark and I have to have patience with this whole ordeal. It is a lesson that we need to learn.
No real updates on anything with the family. Everyone checks in daily with us though. That is so sweet and thoughtful. We really appreciate it a great deal. Meme is still doing some packing and also getting rid of things. She seems to be happy and pleased with her progress. I am happy for her. Bob is still having it rough but he will be going to the counseling center this week. I sure hope it helps him out. It is very hard to watch him be so depressed. Aunt Beck is crazy busy and I guess Bean is doing well. Grandpa and Debbie are good. They have their 3 day weekend so they are enjoying their time. The weather here has been nice during the day and thunderstorms at night. Wish it was reverse so that the pups didn't keep us up at night. Today, the weather is warm. It will be 88 degrees by 12 noon which is now..lol. The skies are blue and the sun is bright. No complaints here at all. Wish we could go out and enjoy the weather but we will have many more days to do that so we are not concerned at all.
Mom is praying for all those that are in Oklahoma. The weather there has been horrible. It is tornado season there now and for the last week they have had tornado sirens going off constantly.... every night. One touched down last night. Floods everywhere as well and bad thunderstorms too. The tornado hit where Mom and Mark used to live in Tulsa. It is such a scary thing to go through. I was never happier to leave that area when we went through the one we did. Hopefully the weather will settle down for us all and soon.
Mom will be lightning a new candle for you tonight. The other one was not burning right so I had to through it away. This one is Fresh Cut Lilacs. I love that smell and it is so fitting for Spring time! I will whisper to you later this evening when I go to bed. Smile for Mom and I will smile for you. Have fun when I get some much needed sleep tonight. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you as well. For now, Mom needs to go check on Mark and also go and relax. I may have a nice nap too. I miss you so much and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You will always be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams later. Please continue to watch over us. Thank you my sweet precious son.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is the prayer for the day:
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:3, NIV
Dear Father in heaven, we thank you for wanting to give us happiness and for holding our earthly life firmly in your hands. May we have the confidence that we are in your hands. Grant us the light of faith. Let this light of faith guide us in material things and help us to wait in patience until the doors open for us to pass through according to your pleasure. So bless us all. Bless our life. May we grow joyful and free of heart through all that Jesus Christ gives. On the foundation he establishes for us may your divine working, your fatherly love, lift and support us throughout our lives. Amen.
