Mother’s Day and My Mom

Each mom is unique and my mom is no different. She is such a wonderful person. Always the first person to jump in and help someone in need. Always the person to invite you over for a conversation or a meal. I do count myself lucky to have such an extraordinary person in my life and one that I get to call mom.

When it comes to Mother’s Day, my mom usually only wants one thing and that is for us to sing to her. This started when we were kids and she still wants as we are adults although now, the grandkids can usually take the heat off of us kids. What does your mom enjoy on Mother’s Day?
