Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Mom is finally home and able to relax for a bit. I am so sorry that I did not write to you last night but yesterday was so crazy. Mark and Mom were up early with the pups. Got them fed, made sure Mark took his meds and then we both got ready. We were out the door around 11 am and we did not get back until after 3 pm. We did a little grocery shopping and then went to a couple other stores to just look around. We ended up purchasing a couple of things, then we went to Target to try and get Mark's prescription filled and that was not a fun experience. We finally came home and brought all the grocery bags up. Mom put everything away, we had lunch and then Mark went and played his game with his brothers while Mom did some rearranging and cleaning. I also did laundry. Mom took a short break and called Meme and we chatted for a bit. It was nice. After I was done, it was time to feed the pups and then go back downstairs to get the rest of the bags that were in Mark's truck. We couldn't get everything all at once so we decided to take them in stages with a break in between. Mom is getting really good at bringing stuff up 3 flights of stairs. I have been doing all the garbage and bringing up all the stuff because Mark can't. He gets upset but I told him that he is still healing and that he will get back there again. It is just going to take some time. he starts PT this Tuesday. I told him that whatever exercises that they give him I will do them as well. That way he won't be doing them alone and it will get me in better shape too. It is a win win situation! On Wednesday he goes for the Holter monitor. He is not looking forward to that at all but it has to be done. Tomorrow is a big day for him because he is finally able to after 2 weeks return to work. Mom is hoping that his job will understand that he is no where near 100% ready to dive back into things again but he can do small things. He drove yesterday for the first time in 2 weeks as well and he had such a hard time with it. It was heartbreaking to watch. Mom almost had to drive. His mobility is very limited and he still can't move his head or arms all that well. Mom finds it tough to watch him struggle. His memory is a bit better but again no where near what it was. I pray every day for him, for me, for the pups and all our family and friends. I know you are with us as well and that makes Mom feel a lot better too. Thank you so much for all you do for us every day my sweet precious son. I miss you so much and 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.
Today is June 2nd. It is a day that is sad for Mom because 9 years ago on this very day my sweet friend, Matt lost his battle with colon cancer. He was such a wonderful man, husband, father, son, brother, grandson, etc... tonight when I light your candle, I will be saying an extra prayer for Matt too. I hope wherever he is, he is watching and looking down smiling.
June is just a shitty month in plain English for Mom. You originally got sick on June 10, 1994. June 19, 2013 was the last time I ever spoke to you, June 20, 2013 is when I lost you, June 25, 2013 was your wake, June 26, 2013 was your funeral and June 27, 2013 was your burial. Mom also lost friends in this month, Grandpa and Mom's anniversary of our accident is also June 26th. It really is just too much all in one months time. Mom is going to try my hardest to hold my head up and not get depressed as it is very easy to do this month. Mom will be thinking of you and knowing that you would not want me to be anything but happy. I hope I can get some extra signs along the way letting me know you are around me. I would appreciate it so much. Thank you pumpkin!
I have no updates for you as the phones last night were very quiet. Mom got to finally sit down and relax around 7 pm and I watched a bit of TV before going to bed. Tonight I am hoping that the thunderstorms that we are suppose to get will be on the early end and not wile we are trying to sleep. That will make it a rough night indeed. The weather yesterday was sunny and warm but the fog last night was horrible. It was crazy. You couldn't see anything at all in front of you. Today the weather is hazy and in the low 70's. You can tell that something will be moving in soon. It is already 3 pm and the weather said by 7 pm tonight it would be bad. Please watch over us and hopefully the pups won't get too freaked out. Mom will be sure to catch up with everyone during the week and try to get back on a routine. I am going to try and do some school work as well. It has been a 2 week break for me and I want to get this done! Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. I will whisper to you later tonight like I always do. Smile for me and I will smile for you. Have fun tonight while we try and sleep. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Mom is going to go do a few things and then relax for a bit before it is time to do the night stuff. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams later. I love you so much, Tyler.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is today's prayer:
Praise the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty. He wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent. Psalm 104:1–2, NIV
Lord our God, our Father in heaven, with all our hearts we want to thank you for giving us joy on earth and for sending us your radiant light from heaven. We praise you for the light you give our hearts, the light that lets us find great joy together because we become one in you, one in your Spirit, one in awaiting your promised good. Grant that we may be your children. May we always find the paths where you can go with us and give us what we cannot give ourselves. May our whole life glorify you and our every breath belong to you. Through communion with you may we remain in your safekeeping in body, soul, and spirit. For all you have done and for all you will do for us, we ask you to accept our thanks. Amen.
