I ALMOST got flowers! (The florist dropped off an arrangement for my next door neighbor, but she was gone, so they left her arrangement for me to deliver to her).
It was a very pretty arrangement...I was starting to feel sorry for myself, and then I remembered....oh yeah...at least my children are still alive. There are mothers everywhere whose soldiers never made it back from the war, whose despondent children attempted suicide and succeeded, whose children were killed in car accidents, or just went missing and were never found again. I feel really fortunate. I have three children, all alive, who love me very much, and show me every day how much they care.
Screw the florists. I have all I need.
