I would add that it would be nice if you did not tell Mom she's wrong even when she is, and especially not in tones that indicate you are far wiser to the ways and facts of life than she. She didn't just wander into her present days by being completely inept.<br /><br />I've one friend who thinks Mother's Day is only for florists and greeting card companies. Probably not far from the truth, as I agree that it's the other 364 days/years that count most in our mother-child relationships. I'm sure I thought I respected my mother, yet gave her a few twinges, however she was a straightforward individual who could in many ways let you know she was going to be who she was in spite of you. Belatedly, Mom: Good on you! Hope I absorbed some of that.<br /><br />By the way, I found hankies at a shop here that sells vintage clothes and has heaps of jewelry that I remember from the 40s, 50s, and 60s. Other than that---hankies and dinosaurs.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01150250956277282834noreply@blogger.com
