today was a little tough as both boys are away at school studying for finals. mark even had one today! second year in a row on mother's day. mark sent me a card and both boys called me and i had a nice talk with both. bob and i drove up to see his mom, and went to church with her. she is 90 and still in relatively great health. she still lives by herself and drives to church and the grocery store in their little rural town. afterwards we went out to eat with my mother-in-law and bob's brother and his family.
upon arriving home, i saw on the kitchen counter some fresh flowers and a box of dots (my favorite). it immediately brought tears to my eyes. mark doesn't have a car at school but matt does...... i called him and sure enough he had taken a break from studying and had driven home to start bringing a load home from his apartment. i wish i had been home to greet him, but we will celebrate next week when they are both home for the summer. that had been the original plan. those little unexpected surprises really make my day though.
gene, you would have been proud of your grandsons. happy mother's day, i love you and wish you were still here. happy mother's day to all moms alike!

It's very nice to be surprised by someone's thoughtfulness. I don't have a clue what dots are but glad you got them all the same.

Happy Mother's Day Nancy! I'm glad that you had a good day. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm sorry that you didn't get to spend the day with your boys. At least though you still have something to look forward to when they come home for the summer. That was so sweet of Matt to remember your dots. :)
ReplyDeleteUnexpected surprises is what life is all about. Have fun with the boys next weekend and I hope the weather stays nice like it was this weekend for you all.
