Well, Mom celebrated her 87th. birthday yesterday and she had a very busy day. Her nurse brought her a cake, her son sent her flowers, she got lots of cards and she got a TON of phone calls. Everyone knows how forgetful she is so they called her more than once - friends, children, grandchildren. Shoot - even her bank sent her a card!
The highlight of her birthday - for me - was when we went out to Cheddars to eat. The older Mom gets, the more she flirts and boy, does she flirt. I figured since it was her birthday, I'd at least try to document this for posterity sake but even I didn't know what I was getting into when I asked the waiter if he would mind letting Mom have her picture taken with him. He said yes and moved in to the booth next to her and no sooner had he sat down than my mom KISSED him. I gave him the biggest tip I have ever given - percentage wise. He was a good waiter besides! Hope he considered the kiss a bonus!
I'm so glad your mom had a wonderful birthday and got a special kiss to boot! She is so blessed to have you and so many others to look out for her. I love that many called her multiple times, I believe that they are cherishing and keeping safe all these memories for her.
