Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Today is May 27th and it is Memorial Day. Mom is doing alright today. Mark is doing okay as well. Yesterday was a really good day for him. It was so nice to see. I can tell that the "old" Mark is slowly returning and boy I have missed him so much. It has been definitely hard watching his pain. As I have expressed before, it brings back so many memories for Mom. This has been emotionally, mentally and physically draining on my part but I have not complained once and I won't. I am here to help Mark in any way that I can. That is what a wife does for her husband.
Today the weather is just beautiful. The sun is shining and the skies are so blue. The temps are in the middle 70's. That is just right weather for me! I am hoping to see a beautiful painting in the sky later tonight when the sun is setting. It sure is quiet out there today. I guess everyone is gone out either to the beach or to family and friend's houses for BBQ's. Mark said that we could go out but I told him no. I know he is not up to that yet and I didn't want him to feel like he had too. Sure it would have been nice but Mom is not worried about it at all. We really didn't have anywhere we needed to go and Mom just wants Mark to get better. We will take today and relax again and enjoy our down time together. The traffic will be crazy here in a little bit so I want nothing to do with that at all. Mom is perfectly fine right where I am today.
Meme called earlier. She was telling me that she was going to the cemetery today to plant flowers on your resting place and at her and Bob's bench. I think she will also be planting some at Nana and Pepe's too. Mom needs to plan a trip to NH so that I can come and sit at your resting place. I haven't been there since Christmas. Guilt gets the best of me on this. I feel that I am not being a good Mom because I rarely ever go there but then I have to remember that you really are not there. You are everywhere and your resting place is for all of us to go and find peace and comfort. Every time Mom does go for a visit there I go and see you. I do do that and I always will. Grandpa told me that he went last week before coming down to see us. That makes me happy to hear that! Mom really has no updates for you at all. I will get in touch with Grandpa tonight and Aunt Beck later in the week to catch up. Mark has a doctor's appointment again on Friday to see how he is doing. The following week will be crazy with multiple appointments for him. Mom is going to enjoy all the quiet time that I can because I know it is about to get busy again and soon.
Mom hopes that later this evening you have fun while I am sleeping. I hope you get to do all kinds of things that you need to do and want to do. Come visit Mom if you can in my dreams. I would love that. I will light your candle later this evening as well. Listen for Mom when I whisper to you tonight. Smile for me and I will smile to you my sweet precious son. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. For now, Mom is going to go relax and put a heating pad on my shoulder as I hurt it somehow yesterday. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams later. I miss you with every beat of my heart and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is the prayer for the day:
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 2 Corinthians 13:14, RSV
Lord our God, our Father in heaven, we thank you for letting us receive so much that is good in all circumstances on earth. We thank you that we can have joy in life in spite of our shortcomings, mistakes, and worries. You bless us with heavenly gifts, so that rejoicing, we can walk on earth as if in heaven. Keep the gifts of your Spirit alive in us. Keep alive in us everything that Jesus Christ was, everything he is, and everything he will be on earth for all people. Amen.
