So, we had a small holiday this past weekend called Mother’s Day— a day set aside each year that you need never remember the date because that date might change each year. What’s important is that you remember that it is always the second Sunday in the month of May. Easy enough, right? I certainly think so! But as easy as that is to remember, I will be the first to admit that my cards and presents to my own mother seem to be invariably late! Well, only by a day, I was told– which is not too bad, I suppose…
At any rate, if your mother is with you, there are two things that you would always want to have at hand at some point during the day on Mother’s Day to make your mother feel special. And what might those two things be, you ask? I’m sorry you had to ask, but I’m also glad you did. Listen up: those two things are Cake and Flowers. Yes, two superfluous things that will not last beyond a few days, and yet will create and convey to your mother a much-loved feeling.
Which is what I got. Because I am privileged to bear the title of ‘mother’, not just once, but twice. And in honor of this, my two lovely children gave to me, inter alia, a beautiful cake and a beautiful bouquet of flowers. See for yourself! The cake is a double-layered white cake with butter-cream frosting– too delicious to describe– and the bouquet of mini carnations are breathtaking!
And do you think I feel loved? You betcha, I do! Works every time! And the show goes on…
