Here's Prompt #5: The perfect Mother's Day consists of...
Well, this is a two part day. One is dripping in lack of reality while the other one could actually happen, no, really.
The perfect Mother's Day consist of...
Sleeping in with no alarm, a full fat breakfast consisting of crepes from Dream Cafe and afterwards, a Hazelnut Latte from the oh so infamous coffee place. Only I tell them not to make it too sweet and add an extra shot of Espresso...I want to taste the warm bean and all of it's caffeine glory!
I sip this coffee, relaxing and reading a good book.
Then, off to a get a manicure and pedicure since I prefer someone else to make my nails sparkle. Because I leave such an impression, the day spa would throw in a hour massage for free. Did I mention that I would have unlimited access throughout the day to any kind of chocolate I want?
I would get to see my best friend and we would go sketch and do art and then after lunch, throw some eggs (long story for another time).
My family (two sons under 5 and sweet hubby) misses me so much that when I get home their is a banner on the front lawn saying, "You are the best wife/mom in the whole wide world."
They have loving provided Gerbera Daisies in a glass vase, Pizza from Pulcinella and Blue Bell ice cream (Texas' best) for dessert.
(Now that was the reality part, really)
The perfect Mother's Day consist of...
My mom being here. Alive and well, and able to meet her grandchildren. To hear her tell me how I am a good mom. How I am raising two sweet, precious boys who are so funny and spirited.
How my youngest looks just like me and she adores his dimples the way she adored mine. She always bragged about my tiny wrists and hands to even strangers.
If I could tell her I've missed her and say, "Happy Mother's Day, mom." I know that would bring me joy. She was far from perfect and known to hurt my feelings more than I wanted. At times, I didn't understand her, but she was my mommy and always will be.
If you wrangle and add this entire post from my blog...Now, that WOULD be the perfect Mother's Day.
