Here comes the sun

posted in OmegaGranny |

My mom is a kick-ass mom.  Did you know that?  And boy howdy, can she make me cry.

So I’ve been whimpering about the lack of sunlight.

What does my mom do?

She sends me a package.  A mysterious package.  It didn’t say who it was from, and I didn’t remember ordering anything, so there was this big, flat package handed to me by the postal person that was just puzzling me.  Then I opened it up to reveal this:

 

And then, the following day, she sends me this:

 

The first is hung already, and we have a place for the second.

There’s nothing like a well-thought-out gift to make one feel…just plain happy and warm-n-fuzzy and like Someone Out There loves you and cares for you.

Thank you, mamasan!

    You’re welcome! They got there already — I’m amazed. I just thought you needed some sunshine in your life. And, BTW, I learned the hard truth about Alaska — once I had ordered the plaques, the invoice was printed up on the screen — and it seems I was paying twice as much in shipping as I did for the art work. Bro, sitting beside me, sez your toffee is in the same situation.

    OmegaGranny rocks. For sure and truly, she does.

    Those are both lovely, and they are just the right things. How wonderful! They make me smile, and I am just looking at them here on the screen!

    Here’s a college cheer you might need right about now (I went to a weird college, it’s true, but we did this cheer at games”

    let’s hear it for the sun god!
    he is the one god!
    Ra! Ra! Ra!

    Hi, O;

    Your Mom is a keeper! She will save you.

    I recall my bad winter - when my Mom asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I said, “Nothing. I’m feeling so old and tired.” (I was 32)

    She had originally bought me an electric blanket. [I needed it! I was in a miserably cold climate!]

    She cashed it in and sent me ice skates. The old fashioned kind…

    With black furry tassles and bells, too!

    Man… it took a lot of courage to head out on the rink with those but everyone kept skating up to me saying “you’re so cool! Where did you get those?”

    Apparently Mom knew something I didn’t…”

    Your Mom does, too:

    Mom wants you to embrace your new life. She knows that it doesn’t really matter where you are. If you want it to happen, the sun will shine.

    Happy to hear you’re in better spirits. I’m keeping tabs on you…. :-)
