For Mother's day one year, I
decided to cook the turkey that was still in the freezer. We invited both
sets of parents for dinner, and with our 6 kids, we had a full house.
So on that warm May day, I
cooked up a Thanksgiving sized feast. The house began to heat up.
We opened windows and turned on the ceiling fan above the dining table.
Finally, everything was laid out; potatoes, gravy, asparagus, jello, corn, rolls and
turkey. I don't remember who sounded the call to "COME &
EAT", but immediately following, like the walls of Jericho, the glass
fixture on the ceiling fan, came tumbling down. Tiny glass shards were everywhere, in and on everything.
I don't remember what we ate
for dinner. I think we tried to scoop the top layer off of the potatoes and rinse anything that was rinse-able. It was scary chewing.
I have found that Mother's Day and birthdays, are best survived by laughing, always laughing, and by serving others. I had a friend in college who always gave his parents birthday presents on his birthday to thank them for having him, raising him and loving him.
