Thank You for helping us return home safe last night. I thank Thee for the lights as we drove through Glenwood Springs and for us overtaking the California Zephyr. For the moment when we were alongside the train and Chloe and Kayla shared their train ride experience in the North East. How train rides were the most relaxing forms of transportation and how napping on the train to Boston through the rain and snow was such a great memory. I thank Thee for my mother. I thank Thee for my aunt. I thank Thee for my brother J. So grateful for my wife and kids. Grateful for my life. Please grant me restful sleep tonight. Send me dreams I need to see. Show me things I need to know. Soften my heart. Open mine eyes. Allow me to see Thy signs. Help me know Thy Will. Help me find my purpose. Help me know my value. Increase my strength. Sharpen my mind. Grant me wisdom. Help me find the time. Help me be mindful. Help me be present. Please let me know Thou art present. Let me know Thy Love. Help me Lov

Seeing Mom was great. She struggles with severe short-term memory loss and gets really confused, but she knows who she is and recognizes me. The idea of not being able to make new memories terrifies me, But this is a happy post so I will not dwell in the negative. My mom is happy. She had spent her entire life being happy happy. It’s something she would always say. Even named the boat Happy Happy, I sorta liked it, J hated it. Anyway she’s happy I saw her Tuesday and Wednesday and it is now Saturday. I spent a lot of time in the solitude of traveling alone. Thought a lot about what she said. Thought a lot about everything. I been working on becoming more mindful. Being present. Being engaged. And I realized my mom had been focuses and engaged everything I’d said and wouldn’t remember any of it. Tomorrow she will not remember I was here. When we are talking about something she remembers she is completely engaged. When talking about tomorrow she concentrates and starts getting confused
