This is my periodic reminder to YOU, dear reader, to BUY FLOWERS FOR YOUR MOTHER.
Go to Trader Joe's. Pick up a poinsettia if they still have some in stock. Get one of those sweet little Christmas trees in pots. Get a bouquet of pretty colored blooms. Get ANYTHING - just GET FLOWERS FOR YOUR MOTHER!
Sure, she may say, "I don't need flowers,". She might say, "Oh, you shouldn't have...". But trust me, you SHOULD.
And you might think, "But I can't afford flowers! I mean, it is the holiday season, I have spent so much on gifts already, I am strapped for cash". But flowers at Trader Joe's are very, very reasonably priced, and your mom will SMILE when you give them to her.
Don't wait for a special occasion- do it today. Think of all she has done for you - all of the "gifts" she has given over the years (some that came in boxes and some that were gifts of time and love). Gift her back! Show her you care. Do it today.
Do it while you can still look her in the eye as you hand them to her. Tell her how thankful you are for all she has done for you. If you are 6, 16, or 50 - if your mom is still here on earth, GIVE HER FLOWERS.
Because someday, you won't be able to hand them to her. Sure, you might still buy them in her memory, but trust me, it is not the same. Give them to her NOW, while she can appreciate them.
Happy holidays one and all. And God bless us, every one.
