Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Today is June 14th and it is Flag Day for us here in the United States. It is also the day that Mark and Mom started dating. That was 7 years ago. So hard to believe that time has passed by so quickly. I remember the 1st day I introduced you to Mark. You liked him right off. That made me so happy. Mark loved (still loves) you very much. Mom loves you even more than that. To infinity and beyond. To the moon and back and all the way around the world. I miss you so dang much. It breaks my heart to know that the worse week is coming up and all the bad memories that are with it. 4 days was the last time we spoke, 5 days was the last time I held your hand and whispered to you and 6 days from now is when you decided to leave this world behind and fly high and free. I really dislike this coming week. You will see Mom become very emotional but please understand that I need to release it all. I need to be able to grow and crying and being this way will help me through it. You have told me that I need to let you go but I know I never can. I never will. You were and still are my everything. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. You live in my heart, mind, body and soul daily. This will never ever change. I just hope that you understand. I love you pumpkin!
Last night was pretty quiet up until 8 pm. Mom made dinner, we ate, I did the dishes and cleaned up and then we sat down to watch our show and the phone rings. It was the realtor. She called to tell us that the offer that we submitted was fully accepted by the owners. We were shocked and happy and excited all at the same time. We got off the phone with her and Mom called Meme and then Grandpa! This whole thing is becoming a reality and fast. The next steps are to get an inspection and appraisal and if all is well there then it is a signed deal and it is ours! I know you have a big part in this and Mom thanks you from the bottom of her heart. Just a few more things need to fall into place and we will be all set! The rest gets taken care of in 2 months time. i know that you will be with us every step of the way so I am not nervous or scared at all. Mom is actually excited about all this. This was a dream that Mom had when you were here with me and it means so much to carry it out for us both!
Today has gone by so quickly. Mark left at 9 am to go to his PT appointment and he got back around 11:45 am. He surprised Mom with flowers and he went and got a hair cut too. While he was gone, Mom made the bed, got ready, did a few things around the apartment and then made something to eat. I was just starting when the phone rang and it was the realtor again. She was at the property and wanted to do a walk through with us over skype. That was so nice of her. The home is lovely. Very bright and airy looking and lots of space which we will need! After seeing it, Mom and Mark are both getting very excited! I will call Meme and Grandpa over the weekend to let them know. Mom will keep you updated as I know of things when they unfold.
The weather today is crazy. First it is cloudy, then sunny and then looks like we will get rain and then the sun comes out. Right now it is sunny and the skies are turning blue again. It is 73 degrees. Saturday will be 83 and Sunday 77 with rain. I was thinking the other day that we will have Summer here and then the first part of Fall and the last part of Fall and there on will be in the new place. Things will be moving quite quickly in the next 3 months.
Tonight will be an evening of celebrating many things. We are not going anywhere but we can still toast to new beginnings! This weekend we will go out and have a nice lunch at our favorite spot. It will be quiet here and Mom is okay with that really. It has been so busy the last few weeks that Mark and Mom both need the quiet time. Plus Mom has some things that I need to do and prep for.
The roofers are finally done with our building which is so nice. We hear them around but there is really no noise on our side. That is wonderful. No headaches! So happy that it is finished. Only took 2 weeks to do it all. The office said 4 days...NOT! Anyways... everyone else gets to deal with the loud noises! That is about all the updates I have for you today. I will have more over the weekend. It is going on 3:46 pm already. Mom has a couple things to do and then it will be time to do the night routine stuff. I will light your candle later and also whisper to you tonight. Smile for me and I will smile to you. Have fun while I get some sleep. Come visit if you can. I will be back tomorrow afternoon with another letter so until then....good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is today's prayer:
In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. 1 John 5:3–5, NIV
Lord our God, in the grace of Jesus Christ we pray to you that your will may be done for us and for all the world. Through Jesus Christ grant us faith that you love us, faith that we may live in your love, that we may hope in your love every day and have peace on earth, where there is so much unrest and trouble. Keep us firm and constant, remaining in your peace and in the inner quiet you give us because Jesus Christ has overcome the world. He has truly overcome, and this fills us with joy. We praise you, Almighty God, that you have sent Jesus Christ and that he has overcome the world. We praise you that he has overcome all evil, sin, and death, and that we may rejoice at all times in your presence. Amen.
