Mother's Day 2013

Mother's Day, May 12, 2013, and it has been one year since Mother took up residence in a nursing home in Greenfield, Indiana.  If it were a perfect world, she would be sitting in her recliner in her own living room while holding a balloon in one hand and petting the dog in her lap with the other.  But, it's not a perfect world, now is it?

Her best friend is in the chair next to her, Maggie is warming her legs and there's chocolate cupcakes.  Wait!  Where's the chocolate cupcakes?  Who ate all of the chocolate cupcakes?

My step-daughter Amy and granddaughter Siena stopped by for a visit.  "Say cheese everyone. Mother?  Say cheese.  What?  Well, I don't know who ate all of the cupcakes.  No, really, I don't."
