Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is super stressed out right now. It is late and I wanted to write you a very short letter tonight instead of not writing to you at all. It definitely a Monday for sure. Things started out great this morning. Mom was up early, fed the pups, made Mark coffee and then settled back in to relax for a bit. I got to chat with a friend online that I haven't spoken with in awhile. It was a wonderful conversation and a much needed one on both our parts. After that, Mom was on the phone for another 2 hours getting things settled with the house we were looking at. Everything was going so smooth. Mark got ready and left for his doctors appointment and Mom got ready after. I made something to eat and then came into my office. I made a few more phone calls and got some information on what we needed and then...BAM... hit a huge curve ball. Found out that I couldn't get an insurance quote on a the house we were looking at because the roof is 18 years old and it is the original. No insurance company will touch a home that has those many years with a roof like that as it will need a brand new one that will cost over $15,000.00. The gentlemen said when you put a new roof on then call me back and I can get you quotes. That isn't happening at all so that sucks. Basically we are back to square one again and Mom will be searching for something outside that area tomorrow. Mark will be at his customer site so I will have some quiet time to do this. Mom is sad, I feel defeated yet again but I know there is a reason for all this. I know that the right home will come along and I know it will be soon. It is just getting to that point that I need to stay focused on. Mom is not a quitter and I am not ready to throw the towel in just yet. If there is anything that you can do to help Mark and Mom we will gladly accept it. Thank you my sweet precious son.
It is already after 7 pm and Mom just finished dinner and did some of the dishes. I was waiting for Mark to get done playing his damn game but I gave up and ate dinner alone. Now he is finishing up while I am typing to you because we were talking and his brother called. I am so tired of that too. There is not 1 night that goes by that I don't get tossed to the side so that he can either play the game with or he talks to them for hours on end. Mark finishes up just when it is time for him to relax and go to bed. I voiced it tonight when the call came in. He knows I am upset but guess he doesn't care because if he did then he wouldn't be talking to them and he would be talking to me. Ugh!!!! It is just not a good day at all like I said. Mom is going to get off this computer and I am going to go relax for a couple hours and then go to bed. I need sleep because we will be up early in the morning for Mark to leave. The pups will be going crazy too. All I keep saying is that this will be the last day for him. We can both do this!
Mom has no updates for you as far as our family goes. Maybe during the week I will though. Your candle has been lit all day long. Looks like a new one will be started tomorrow. Trying to burn the ones I have so that I don't have to pack any this time. Last time we have 3 boxes....lol. I will whisper to you later this evening when I go to bed. I hope you have fun while Mom gets some sleep. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. I would love that! I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Remember that I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. To infinity and beyond and more than all the stars in the sky. I miss you so much. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom is going to call it a night on the computer for now. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is the prayer for the day:
The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:17–18, NIV
Lord our God, our Father in heaven and on earth, we are thankful that you have a people to whom you say, "You are mine." Grant that we too may belong to this people. Strengthen us in the faith that we belong to you, so that we can come to know your rule and your justice. Protect us on all the paths we follow during our time on earth. The times are evil, but come what may, every single one of us has in his heart the certainty, "We are yours." You have long watched over us and kept us safe. Again and again we affirm, "We are yours, Lord our God, through Jesus Christ our Savior." Amen.
