It was Saturday. 9:30am. I was still uncharacteristicly lying in bed but awake. Just peacefully resting. My phone rings interrupting my careless thoughts. It is my mother.
She asks if I’m outside “tending to my yard” as per usual. Not this time. Just peacefully resting. The grass can wait. So she tells me that is interested in going on the cruise that my son’s band will be playing on. Great! I was hoping that more family members would be able to go. I am thankful that my mother’s health and well-being allow her to still enjoy life and continue to love her grandchildren.
