Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Sunday evening? Mom is sorry that I didn't write to you yesterday but Friday night and all day yesterday was not good at all here. Mom and Mark received an email on Friday night around 5:40 pm and it was kind of a blow. Neither of us really slept at all Friday night. Yesterday morning we were going to run errands but Mark was not feeling so well so we stayed in. He literally played his game all day long with his brothers until almost 6 pm and Mom did 2 loads of laundry, changed the bed linens, folded the 2 loads of laundry, put everything away, got ready and then I did a lot of rearranging in the kitchen pantry, refrigerator and freezer plus I hauled out my stuff in the bathroom that I was not using at all. I also gathered up garbage and I did some things in the closet as well. I was quite productive to say the least. I think I finished about 5:30 pm. we ate dinner and then I took a nice long, hot shower. The evening was spent watching TV and trying to calm Princess done as there were fireworks near by that started at 9:45 pm and lasted until 10:30 pm. we could here them so clearly. We went to bed around 11 pm and Mom pretty much got zero sleep. There is just way too much on my mind right now. That email that we received on Friday was not all that good. There is a lot riding on if we will be able to proceed with our plans now for the Fall. Of course I needed to tell Meme and Grandpa to keep them in the loop and that was not a fun phone call at all. Mom has been doing a lot of hoping and praying. That is all I can do or anyone can do at this time. There are a couple questions that need to be answered by people other than us and all our fate is in their hands now. I think everyone is discouraged and bummed out but Mark and Mom are trying to stay positive at this time. Anything that you might be able to do to help we all would gladly appreciate it so much, Tyler. Thank you my sweet precious son.
Mom never got on her computer at all yesterday and really was not near any electronics at all. I was trying to stay busy so my mind wouldn't think too much and I was kind of mad at Mark for playing that dang stupid game all freakin day and night. He is playing it again right now too. I just don't get it. All of them are over 40 years old. Video and computer games are for kids....something that they are not. I wouldn't mind if we had more time together and then he played for a couple hours but it is not like that. It is work all week for him and schedule time for us around that dang game. It really is annoying. He may be playing it right now but he has limited time because in 30 minutes we have a skype call with Tubal and Karen. We haven't had one of them in over a month. It will be nice to chat with them. Mom already spoke to Grandpa and Meme today so the rest of the evening will be quiet. Mom may take a long bath to see if it helps my left shoulder. I think I pulled a muscle or something yesterday with all that I did. I am not sure though. I hope for a good night sleep for both Mark and I. He needs to be up at 5:30 am to get ready to leave for his work and Mom will be starting to get back into my routine of studying. I am hoping to have both lessons done by Tuesday and the final exam by Friday. That would be perfect. Then I will be starting my second course right after.
I am sure to have updates for you tomorrow on things. It is kind of an important day. We may get some good news or it could be not so good news so Mom is crossing her fingers and toes hoping that all goes the way we hope. I will update you on that when I know of things. Our cousin's daughter is doing okay. She is another tough cookie and getting by day to day. She is still having chemo daily and in and out of the hospital but she is smiling the best way she knows how for 16 years old. I assume everyone else is doing good. I will touch base with Aunt Beck this week and see how they are doing and how Bean is. I still have not heard from her at all. Oh yeah.... your friend, Ashley...yes the Ashley that you dated in Exeter got married yesterday. She was engaged for a couple of years and she made a beautiful bride. Mom saw the pictures on social media. She is such a pretty girl but I don't need to tell you that. I think that is all I have for you today. Mom will light your candle after this letter is done and I will whisper to you later tonight. Smile for me and I will smile for you. I will be back tomorrow with another letter. I hope you have fun tonight while Mom is sleeping. 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. Mom needs to get ready for the skype call in 15 minutes. Until tomorrow comes.... good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is today's prayer:
And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Colossians 3:14–l5, NIV
Lord our God, grant your peace in our hearts. Grant that we may be your children, allowed to serve you in true peace through the forgiveness of sins. Turn your eyes to the world and its sin, that something new may come for all who are deeply unhappy, groaning under the anguish of their lives. Your mercy is great, your compassion is beyond measure. For Jesus Christ’s sake you will bring into the world the salvation that is promised. You will bring the great day of Jesus Christ the Savior, who has shed his blood for us. He can come to those now in need and misery, bringing his peace and his power into their hearts so that even death turns into life and everything serves your praise and glory, Lord our God and Father in heaven. Bless us and bless our nation. May life from heaven grow in those who understand you and who are to be your people. May your will be done, Lord God, until your kingdom comes in its fullness and all the world may see that Jesus Christ is the Lord, to your glory, O God our Father. Amen.
