Mom's wedding day with her sister Jo Jo
Day 29:
Mom wanted to send a special Valentine wish to you all and wishes she could be spending her Valentine's dinner with you all. May you enjoy all the yummy treats and chocolates as you all deserve.
She had a great, non-eventful day and is getting anxious to get back to rehab where everyone's stress levels will go down.
She has a new roommate today who was dealt a bad hand of cards to say the least. We overheard the nurses and doctors talking about all of her conditions and mom looked at me and said, "this is when people have a reality check and get over their pity parties". She said, when people complain about the snow outside, be grateful you can feel the cold, when people talk about a tiff with a friend, be grateful you have a friend, etc. (okay, I made up the part about a tiff with a friend but you get the gist).
Again, the influx of cards has been so nice and she is grateful to each and every one of you. I am able to read the blog to mom and share the many sweet comments left daily for her. What a treasure for her to hear. I find her closing her eyes with a slight smile on her face as if I'm singing her a lullaby.
Funny story and a game of odds....Boise was sent two identical boxes of gourmet brownies from the Burkes and the Smiths. They were delivered at the same time, same packaging, ordered the same day and delivered the SAME day to Boise. When we got two packages we only opened one thinking it was from the same person. Turns out the Burkes and the Smiths ordered the same thing at the same time. Thank you both the Burkes and the Smiths! Mom just said they were so wonderful, as if she was eating frosting right out of a jar...delicious!
We are getting so many cards with well wishes, we even got one from Nordstrom's!
