Today I am Celebrating Mother's Day

Today we are taking my Mother to a restaurant for a Mother's Day lunch. The restaurant is handicap friendly--large aisles to accommodate her walker. The waitstaff is patient with my mother, who has dementia. The last time we enjoyed a meal there, the waitress asked my mother what kind of bread she would like, and winked at me to let me know that my mother had time to think her decision over and decide. Such a gift. My sister, brother and I also are giving my mother a new outfit--shorts and a blouse. I will give her some carnations that she can look at as she sits in her chair. It seems everyone has someone that they would like to honor on Mother's Day--a friend, sister, aunt, wife, daughter, mother. Mother's Day is my favorite day to work at the flower shop. I delight in helping people choose something special for the special person or persons in their lives. Yesterday, a woman sent four different gifts to special people in her life.
