Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Today is definitely a better day for Mom. Yesterday was not a good day at all as I am sure that you saw and heard. I thought it was going to be a good day as the sun was shining bright and it was so nice outside. Mom was up early feeding the pups and getting morning stuff ready but I guess Mark wanted to be a snappy turtle again and we pretty much fought all day long. Things that he said was pretty mean. I basically told him I didn't deserve it and if he was not going to say anything nice than I didn't want to hear it any longer and for him to not talk to me so that is exactly what happened. We didn't speak at all. Mom did a bunch of cleaning out in the apartment while he stayed in his office and did whatever. Later in the evening Mom watched TV and Mark played his video game with one of his brothers. I went to bed shortly after 10 pm and I was awake a lot during the night. I guess I just couldn't sleep because of how the day went. Mom was pretty emotional. Today, I was up at 7 am feeding the pups and getting them set and then I went back to bed and lounged for a bit. Mark was in a better mood and so we decided to look at some houses together. We did that for a couple hours and then Mom got up and made us brunch. I did the dishes after and continued to declutter my office, living room and dining room. Between yesterday and today we threw out 7 bags of stuff. Mom is almost at the point where I don't have much left and everything that is here will be packed up when the move happens. After I did that for a couple of hours I dusted, vacuumed the floors, spoke to Meme for about an hour and then decided to get ready finally (at 5 pm) and then feed the pups their dinner. Now Mom is writing to you, waiting for groceries to be delivered and then I will make dinner for Mark and I. The rest of the night will be calling Grandpa and Debbie as I owe them a call and then watching TV. Mark, again will be playing his video game with his brother. It will be early to bed as tomorrow is Monday and it is a new start to a new week. Mark will be working and I will be finishing up my last 2 lessons and then it will be time to take my final exam in this course. I started it 3 months ago and it is crazy that I will be done this week. I am doing well still. I have a grade of 97 and a 4.0 GPA. Mom is hoping that it stays that way too. I would love to graduate with high honors from this course. We shall see by the end of the week! There is not much else going on at all. It is pretty quiet around here as it is so nice that I am sure that everyone is out at the beach or by the community pool today. The sun is still shining bright and the temp is in the upper 70's. Couldn't ask for better weather. Looks like this week will be the same with a bit of rain here and there. The view from my office is really pretty. The trees are so green and full. It was pretty last year during foliage season. I am looking forward to it again this year too....hard to believe that it will be in 3 months though. Usually I dislike what comes after Fall but this year I will not be sad because we will not have to deal with another winter again! Everyone is starting to get really really excited! I know we are as well. Mom is still praying that a job comes up and soon though. That is still the only hiccup as of right now. If there is any way that you can help Mark and all of us that would be so sweet of you, pumpkin. Thank you so much. Mom will be sure to keep you updated on this and everything else when I know of things. I will probably have some updates for you as early as tomorrow when I write to you.
Yesterday was Mom's 30th reunion from high school. In Claremont they had the Alumni Parade like they do every year. Mom obviously didn't go but I did get to see some pictures of our float and some of my classmates. They all looked good but doesn't look like a real good turn out this time around. I don't think Mom missed much at all. My next one will be in 2024 and it will be the 35th reunion. Maybe I will come up for it but not sure. That is another 5 years from now.
It is 6:20 pm and I know the groceries will be delivered very soon so I should wrap this letter up to you for tonight. I have to call Grandpa at 7 pm too. Looks like a quick dinner tonight. Mom will be back tomorrow and I will whisper to you later tonight. smile for me and I will smile for you my sweet precious son. I will light your candle in a little bit as well. Last night I lit it in the afternoon and realized this morning when I got up to feed the pups that I never blew it out last night. It burned all night long....16 hours. Yikes.... Mom was lucky with that. I will only bun it for a couple hours tonight. I miss you so much. More than words can say. I love you with all my heart and soul. To the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my hero and then wind beneath my wings. Forever you live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. This will never change! Mom is going to get going for now so until tomorrow comes.... good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is the prayer for the day:
The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing. Zephaniah 3:17, NIV
Lord our Savior, you are our Lord and our Helper. Show yourself again and again in our hearts as the Savior who is strong to help us even in difficult times. Remember the many people who sigh to you. Guide them into the protection of the almighty God. Even if they suffer pain and distress and have to go through fear and anxiety, even if they die, Lord Jesus, you are comfort and help. In everything life brings us you will show yourself as the One who does the will of God and who carries it out for us on earth. Amen.
