So I opened up my email this morning, and there was a nice friendly email from ProFlowers.com, reminding me that it's almost Thanksgiving, and asking me if I wanted to send a Thanksgiving bouquet to Mom, like I did last year.
*sigh*
I had forgotten I'd done that. I'm sure glad I did, though. I do seem to vaguely recall hearing that Mom was showing everyone the flowers I'd sent her. :-)
So while it was kind of disconcerting to open up my email and see Mom's name, it was nice to be reminded that I'd done something that made her smile.
I love that you loved your mom so much. I'm certain that if she were reading your blog, she would just be smiling away. I know that if I were your mother, I would be smiling right now. You honor her by remembering her so well.

Thanks :)
I made a conscious decision on 12/13/03 that I would remember the GOOD things about Mom, and our relationship.
She wasn't perfect (nor am I), but there were more good times than bad, and I'd rather remember those.
