Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday early evening? Mom is doing alright but boy am I tired as all heck. Went to bed at 9 pm last night and neither Mark or I slept at all. He had to get up at 3:30 am to do a cutover for work and Mom finally fell asleep around 4 am and was up at 7 am. We are both so tired and tonight will be an early night for everyone.
The weather today was much cooler than normal. It was only in the 60's and boy it felt nice. We took the pups for a walk and I really enjoyed the breeze. It made me feel like we were in New England all over again. Guess it will be that way for the next couple days too. Looks like there will be some rain though. It is pretty dark outside right now.
Mom was able to get a lot of things done today while Meme and Bob were gone. They left at 10:30 am and got home around 2:45 pm. Long day for them but productive day for me. I was able to move several things around so that we could start our Christmas decorating this weekend. Trying to get a head start on things. Mom was moving Meme's wine rack and a wooden sign came falling down and hit me in the head and then smashed my left thumb. It didn't break but I know that I bruised it pretty badly. I wanted to go get my nails done but now I will have to wait until my thumb feels better. I was able to move a chair and ottoman, a bench and a few more odds and ends as well downstairs. I then came upstairs and I rearranged a few things too. Of course what I did in the corner by Meme and Bob's room she didn't like and threw a big hissy fit. She is acting like a child and having a temper tantrum by not talking to anyone. She needs to know that she is not going to have everything her way and that she needs to respect Mark and I plus also Grandpa and Debbie when they come down here. Her stuff is not going to be placed everywhere where she wants it. My stuff is not out like that at all and neither will hers. It is too bad if she does not like it either. Mom needs to put her foot down on these things. This stuff is not even things that should be out. She has an old ceramic holder that she has like 10 umbrellas in and she thinks that is a great thing to display in a corner....I don't think so. One....she doesn't need 10 umbrellas and 2.... they don't need to be on display. They can go in a closet where she can get to them easily. It is not my fault that she has no space for things. She has purged a lot of stuff but obviously she needs to purge a lot more. Not Mom's problem. I am sure she won't be talking to me again for a day or two and then she will try to scold me and yell at me like she did before but I nipped that in the bud pretty fast too. Respect is something that she needs to understand! It is frustrating for Mom regarding all this. I am at my whits end though and my patience and tolerance is at the end of the rope in just 1 month. I need help, Tyler. Please help Mom in all this. I have called Aunt Beck for advice and she is saying a lot of different things and she is trying to help me. I guess I don;t know what to do......anyways.....
Here are a couple updates for you.....Uncle Dick is still at rehab. He is learning to balance on his left foot with no toes. He thought he could do it all alone and found out he couldn't by falling flat on his face. He will be there for a lot longer now. Poor guy. Mom will update you on that when I get more. A bit of very sad news though....last night I was scrolling through social media and I saw a video. At first I wasn't sure who the man was talking about but then I put 2 and 2 together. You remember Cassie Lufkin's. She was a friend of yours in school. She has been battling cancer for a 3rd time. She has been a fighter and always had a positive attitude on things. The other day she got terrible news. Treatment is no longer working and she has been removed from everything. She is at home and placed in Hospice. She has very little time left now. The whole thing is so horrible. Mom has known her and her family for many years now. My heart breaks for everyone. I hope and pray that she has a quick and painless passing. She needs to be at peace and no longer sick. She will be missed by many family and friends when it is her time to leave the physical world here. I hope you will greet her when the time comes. I believe that you will. Mom will keep you updated on this as I know of things. That is all the updates that I have for you today.
It is after 5 pm and Mom needs to get going so that I can feed the pups. It is leftovers for us so it is an easy dinner. I have had a candle lit downstairs for you all afternoon. I will whisper to you later this evening when I go to bed. Smile for Mom and I will smile to you my sweet precious son. I miss you more than ever and more than words can say. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. i love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. For now I must go start the night routine and it will be early to bed tonight. Will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Have fun while Mom gets some sleep. Come visit if you can. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams pumpkin.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is the prayer for the day:
In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever. Daniel 2:44, NIV
Lord our God, we thank you that you work in us and in our lives and that you show us your compassion, no matter what cross we have to bear. We want to rejoice in you and wait patiently until your purpose is fulfilled and your kingdom arises on earth. Protect each one of us. May our hearts find strength and neverfailing joy in Jesus Christ the Savior, always hoping and believing, always looking to you. For you are the almighty God, who will come in Jesus Christ to establish his kingdom among the peoples and at last reveal his truth in its fullness. Then the knowledge of your will shall spread to all peoples, so that good and evil may come before you and be judged according to your mercy and faithful love. Amen.
