Every year, a couple days before Christmas eve, Mom puts together about a hundred gift bags full of fruit and socks or bedroom slippers to take to a couple of nursing homes (or retirement homes as some are called) to give to the people there. She has done this for more years than I can remember. That means she’ll be there most of the day.
Well we went and picked up Mom’s new dishwasher as soon as she left and now we are all installing it for her. When she gets home, I wonder how long it will take for her to see it? We have a big red bow to put on it so she has to see that anyway. I can’t wait to see the look on her face when she finally spots it. I know she’s going to cry and that’s cool. I love to see happy tears on Mom’s face. This is going to be the best Christmas present we have ever gotten her is probably going to be what she will say. She says that even if we give her another sweater. That’s my Mom.
