One reason why my mom is awesome

So, as part of the Mother's Day gifts for mom - I got this little glass ornament with a poem and little glass flower. I intentionally choose the one with the least tear jerker message. Alright and it was happy coincidence that one had the prettiest flower decoration, too. I choose the least tear-jerker message because if mom cries , I cry and I hate crying. So when she opened it today she tears up a little and says that she doesn't want to read it all right now because she doesn't want to cry more. And I say "but it's not a tear-jerker" and she says "yes it is". That is one reason why my mom is awesome. :-) We did have a nice day today. We went to a very good restaurant which had a huge buffet of delicious food. Dad was actually doing well other than a little out of it, due to his medicine. They came over and met my "house guest cat". I just took a nap and now I think I will walk to the grocery store and buy ice cream. A malt made in the blender is the only thing that sounds sort of good for supper , even though I know it's high calories, everyone needs a treat sometime right? :-) To all the moms on MyLot I wish you a very happy day and I hope you know that you are treasured every day That's what I get for writing tired. Edit to add - The message on the ornament says "Everything I know about being awesome, I learned from you". :-) Photo: Mine

haha, after a heavy meal at the restaurant, not many people think about having ice cream. Your stomach must be a teenager! Only teenager can eat nonstop and still maintain a slim figure.

I haven't had malt in a long time. I love shakes and smoothies. So glad she loved the gift.

I can see why your mom teared up. If I got a message like that from my kids I would too. I had a good Mother's Day. I heard from my kids, and my youngest stopped over for a short while before going to work.

Lovely message...And true.Glad the day went off well...My mom lives far off...I called up a couple of times...And we talked for long. The funny bit was my father ringing up to tell me to call mom as it was mother's day...It's not a traditional celebrations here but seems to have caught on...If my parents know about this...They are in their 80s
