Yesterday, we had surprise party for my mom. Her birthday was on March 3rd. We were together to celebrate but yesterday, I think I can safely say she was shocked when my son walked her into Sunday brunch. What she thought was lunch for six was a party with one hundred guests.
It's my sister.... she's the one who is not happy unless and until it's quite an extravaganza and she did an excellent job of tending to every single detail....
There are five of us. I'm the oldest. Somehow all of us were in front of a microphone. My kids gave me strict instructions. Keep it short. I spoke last. Put a microphone in front of me and I have nothing to say?????
Yup... that was me... in front of a room filled with family and friends. I think I said I wasn't prepared to speak. I recall saying, "I just want you to know that I have your back..... I love you."
Today, all I have to say is Happy Birthday..... And then, something you can never say enough: I love you....
A great picture of 2 beautiful and amazing women!
