Mom gets red sometimes. Doctors say the redness is serious and they give her a bimonthly injection to control it. The shots hurt her quite a bit and she has trouble walking (or even driving) afterward. It is illogical, and thus hard to beleive, that simple redness in the face could be a harbinger for death. I'm not a doctor though, so I guess I wouldnt understand such a complex conclusion.

Yet, to be honest, I suppose I do actually have some sort of abstract understanding of it. And thats okay, because a full understanding implies something I dont want to happen. In fact, I'll do anything so that does not happen.

Nate,

Take time to spend with your mother. You are a bright young man that can be a great support to your family.

Working with your brother has been a great opportunity.

Your mom needs you to come to reality and be there for her. Make it happen.

Dear Nate,

Make this summer special for your family by carrying on your Mom's tradition of doing things for your family. Embrace each day with the intention of making it the best one possible for your loved ones. You will find great joy and peace because you will be creating such a giving environment. She will smile through her trials and tribulations and she will rely on your good nature to buoy her.

I will continue to pray for you and your family, especially your mom. I always admired your ability to write. Keep a journal and write your thoughts and feelings, you don't have to share the journal unless you want to. It can be your retreat and your comfort. Words are sometimes powerful bridges and although it may be a cliche, I believe they can be a window to your soul.
