Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday morning? Mom is so sorry that I have not written to you in 2 days. That never happens at all but Friday was so busy. Mom was on the phone, emailing, texting like crazy about the house and before I knew it it was after 5 pm and Mom and Mark didn't eat until almost 7 pm that night. It was crazy busy. I relaxed Friday night while Mark played his computer game with his brothers and then I went to bed at 10 pm because I was so tired. Saturday was a day where Mom did a few things around the apartment, made a salad to go with dinner and then I actually talked on the phone with Marion and Charlie for over 2 hours. By that time it was 2 pm and Mom took a shower and then lounged on the couch all day long. I never turned on or went into my office at all. I need one day a week to do nothing so that I can recharge. Saturday seems to be that day. Mark literally played his video game again with his brothers all day from 11 am - 5 pm. Today, Mom was suppose to go grocery shopping and get her nails done but I had to cancel my appointment because Meme called and we chatted for far too long and I hadn't even gotten ready so I would have never made it in time...lol. I didn't mind. Meme needed to talk so I was there for her. I remade my appointment for Tuesday so it is no biggie and I got up this morning and did the grocery shopping online and they will be delivered tonight. It all worked out. The last 3 days have been so brutally hot. The temp is 99 degrees but with the dew point over 70 and the humidity the heat index is 109-110 degrees. It really is nasty. It will break tomorrow though and be around 85 degrees and Tuesday it will be only 69 degrees. Both of those days it will be raining though. We need it after all this hot sun! We have all our blinds closed in the apartment to keep the sun from coming in. The AC has been running overtime that is for sure. We haven't been using any lights, the stove or anything to make things hotter. We are staying as cool as we can though. The pups are quiet. Friday night there was the most amazing sunset. Mom took a ton of pictures and I was just in awe of the colors that were in the sky. You were definitely busy with your paint brushes. Mom will post a picture or 2 on here today. I looked last night but there was really no sunset at all. It was hazy from the heat. I will look again tonight to see if there is anything but I can bet it will be like last night too. It is okay because Friday's was stunning. Thank you for that. I think Mom needed it after her busy week. I enjoyed every minute of watching the colors change. It made me smile!
Mom really has nothing to do today at all. I have vacuuming the floors but that will take about 10 minutes. The rest of the day will be again relaxing and doing nothing at all! Tomorrow is Monday so it will be back to the grind with Mark working, Mom getting things together for the home and trying to get some studying in as well. One lesson to go, 6 projects and the final. I would love to see it done this week but I know that won't happen. Mom is going to try though. I know you will be with me so that will help! Tonight will be a night of possible skyping with Tubal and Karen and then watching TV. Not much, laying low and staying cool. Oh yeah... I have groceries coming too.... no biggie!
Meme did her yard sale yesterday. She said not many came because of the weather and I can believe that. I wouldn't be out in it if I didn't have to be! She said she sold a few things. She was discouraged but I told her not to be. She will be donating all her furniture to a place that sells it and donates that money to CHAD at Dartmouth Hospital. I think that is so sweet and I know you are smiling about that. The other odds and ends that didn't sell she is going to see if someone will buy it in bulk and if not then she will donate that stuff too to another place for charity. Mom is very proud of her. She is working hard and doing good. She gets angry and frustrated but I keep reminding her of the end result and where we will be! Bob had a very rough day yesterday. He didn't eat that much and he passed out on Meme 2 times. That was scary for her. Both times it happened someone was there looking at their stuff and they helped Meme. I sure hope that he knows what he is doing with wanting this next surgery and I am praying that it will help him in the long run. I know you are with them, Tyler and Mom thanks you from the bottom of my heart. Soon I will be there to help her and she won't be alone. That will make me feel better. I guess Skittles is not doing good either. Meme said that he is not eating, he is having tummy issues and he is losing weight rapidly. That doesn't sound good at all. Mom is wondering if he is going to make the trip in October or if we will be saying our goodbyes to him before. He is 14 years old and he has back issues and breathing issues because of allergies. If it is his time to cross the rainbow bridge then I hope you come and get him so that he will be with you, Daisy, Spencer, Baxter, Ziggy, Snapples, Max and Snickers. He deserves to run free and be healthy and happy just like you all are now. He will be missed when he does leave us but we know it will be better in the long run for him. Mom doesn't want to see him suffer anymore than he is already. Do what you feel is right for that little guy, Tyler. We all trust you. Thanks pumpkin.
Mom will light your candle in a bit. Looks like another one will need to be started because this one is almost done. That will be the 3rd candle in 2 weeks. Not bad. Mom is burning them so I don't have to pack them...lol. I will whisper to you later tonight as well so smile when you hear Mom and I will smile back to you. Have fun tonight when the stars come out and Mom is sleeping. Visit me in my dreams if you can. I miss you beyond anything in this world 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 inside my heart, mind, body and soul. I will be back again tomorrow with another letter to you so until then.....enjoy your day doing all the things you love and need to do and tonight I will whisper to you good night and sweet dreams. Mom is off to do the little bit that I have to and then I am going to relax all day and night. Until tomorrow my sweet precious son.....
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is the prayer for the day:
My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young – a place near your altar, Lord Almighty, my King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. Psalm 84:2–4, NIV
Lord God, our souls long for you and for your glory, for the day when it shall be said, "All is accomplished! Now your kingdom comes. Now your day appears. When we look back on all that has happened to us, everything becomes clear." We thank you that we can live without fear, again and again refreshed and renewed, waiting for the good you give on earth. Show us the way we have to go. Grant your blessing in our hearts so that in need and death, in fear and distress, we may always have light and strength. You are our salvation, Lord our God. From you comes the salvation of our souls. We trust you today and every day. We praise your name, and in you we hope for the day you hold in readiness for the whole world, the day when light will dawn in every heart. Amen.
