On top of these adorable videos, Mom got an ecard, two bouquets of flowers and a million phone calls! I knitted her a lavender-scented soap sock with a bar of moisturizing soap in it, and got her Denny's for dinner (she had a mad craving for country fried steak, so we broke her low salt diet for today only). THANK YOU EVERYONE for making this birthday awesome for Mom! Today was a great day for her, filled with love and smiles and giggles. She totally called me out on it (she said that this many people can't possibly remember her birthday unless I told them all to do it, haha), but she loved the attention and how sweet everyone has been to her today. It meant to world to her.
When dealing with chronic illness, people are often afraid and unsure of what to say or do. Sick people are sometimes depressing or make others think about their own mortality, and so they get ignored. Abandoned. That's how Mom has been feeling for quite some time. I'm so overjoyed that everyone today proved her (and me) wrong! She is NOT forgotten and she IS loved. Y'all gave her happy tears today. I have to stop typing or I'm gonna weep like a baby myself.
