Mom's Day Still Special

In light of all the other "special" days on the calendar, many of which were fabricated by the greeting card printers, I still enjoy Mother's Day the most.

I am fortunate to have an 81-year-old Mother who is vibrant, witty, determined, independent and sassy. She wrote and published her first novel at age 75. What an inspiration to those of us who have long-aspired to be writers of novels and such!

My Mother's Day greeting to my Mom is usually flowers in a vase or basket, delivered, because I live many miles away. I am not much of a traveler anymore, and in that respect, I am much like my Mom.

Sunday will also be a day for telephone calls. If I recall correctly, Mother's Day is the number one day for telephone calls in the USA. It is also a BIG day for men and women who are in the military services to remember Mom and call home.

My Mom is the best!
