Beautiful morning, coffee by the window and Mom surrounded by gifts from her six children.--meaningful gifts--a nightlight hand painted by her granddaughter, Julia, a book on tape from Mary, a CD of Pat's family singing, a card that made her laugh out loud several times from Peg, a thick bouquet of flowers from Bill. We watched a slideshow of Mom through the years on my new Apple computer to music. She's resting, waiting for cocktails and shrimp at 5. Exhausted and obviously uncomfortable, she smiles constantly, stretching upward with that smile that always says, I'm so glad to see you! This Mother's Day is a bonus day, a gift. I love you, Mom.

For Mother's Day, I Got My Mother For Another Day
Beautiful morning, coffee by the window and Mom surrounded by gifts from her six children.--meaningful gifts--a nightlight hand painted by her granddaughter, Julia, a book on tape from Mary, a CD of Pat's family singing, a card that made her laugh out loud several times from Peg, a thick bouquet of flowers from Bill. We watched a slideshow of Mom through the years on my new Apple computer to music. She's resting, waiting for cocktails and shrimp at 5. Exhausted and obviously uncomfortable, she smiles constantly, stretching upward with that smile that always says, I'm so glad to see you! This Mother's Day is a bonus day, a gift. I love you, Mom.
