I hope and pray that all of you sweet ladies had a wonderful day yesterday as our nation celebrated Mom's Day. I wonder if Mom's Day is celebrated all over the world or is this a "Hallmark card" holiday? We spent the afternoon at Jenn's home grilling (well, her DH grilled) and enjoying a very relaxing time with extended family. Jenn had baked beans, mac n'chese, hot dogs and hamburgers, and of course since I don't eat read meat, chicken strips. Greg, her DH's brother brought us an awesome strawberry cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. Yum!
And, now to the "loot!" I received coupons for kisses, etc. from my grandchildren and an electric tea kettle from Jenn and her DH. I have always wanted one but my very old tea kettle would not die and I am not one to run out and just buy something new if the old one still works. I must confess that I actually asked for this at Easter. Thank you both so much for it and I intend to get many years, Lord willing, of joy from it.
I couldn't be with my mom yesterday, but we did celebrate Mom's Day with her on Saturday. I didn't feel right about them not being with us yesteday, as it felt so strange not to have her and dad with us this past Easter too. I miss them. We are trying to get used to the "new" normal but it is so hard. I feel that my dad is so unhappy where they are now and I have to pray fervantly for an answer that will help the situation. I know that once they are approved for Medicaid we can look for a better new home for them.
