Every year we go to Mercis’ home to celebrate Mothers’ Day together and every once in a while the day happens to be Merci and Bills’ Wedding Anniversary. This year was that year. Two reasons to celebrate is always better than one. When I asked Merci how many years, counting on her fingers she looked at me and said I think…. 46? Happy Anniversary you crazy kids!
Our sisters and children were there. Damian and Erin went over for breakfast because Damian is a NYC Police officer and he had to work and then Erin went to her moms’ with the kids. We did miss them. My granddaughter was home with strep and her dad stayed with her. We missed them too. My daughter brought the boys over to wish my mom a Happy Mothers’ Day and she was so happy to see them. Kisses all around.
We were a cozy group and everyone got a chance to catch up with each other. It was raining so we spent the day inside and really enjoyed the great food Merci prepared for us all. She always goes way out. I had a little of everything and it all was delicious
Lentil soup, lamb, baked ziti, pork, green beans and roasted potatoes. Everyone gobbled it up but we were sure to leave room for dessert. Life is too short to skip cake.
Mother: A Person Who Does Work For Many. For Free. Thank you Merci for another beautiful Mothers’ Day. She reminded me that last year, we were not there because my family were at the hospital with my mom who had suffered a stroke. I could not believe I forgot that, I am good at not remembering hard days gone by. So this day was extra special Three In One.
Love these guys to the moon and back and more than all the stars in the sky. Understand?
A Mother is like a flower, each one beautiful and unique. I pray we will get to do this all over again next year. Happy Mothers’ Day!
