Yesterday was a wonderful day. I was able to spend time with both my mother and my daughters. I also got a skype call from my Filipino children. It came late in the day and was a surprise to me! I couldn't help but think of how things will look around our table next year. (I had to go to the furniture store last week to buy another chair for my dining room set!) It is very hard for me to imagine! If any of the grandparents come, that would make at least ten, maybe twelve!
I was so glad that my mom came for lunch yesterday. As usual, she brought part of the meal. One of our favorites is the rice pudding she makes. I'm not sure what is in her recipe, but there is nothing quite like the way Mom makes rice pudding. I think it is just because she throws in an extra dose of TLC. Preparing food is only one of the ways my mom serves. She just loves to help people and is always the first person to lend a hand when she can. Cambridge Medical Center had an ad in the paper last week thanking all of their volunteers. My mom is a greeter at CMC and her picture was under the caption Making a Difference. I love that (at 81!) my mom is still making a difference. She has no intention of letting life pass her by. Maybe some day I will be able to catch up with her!
