1 Answer

Answer :

I remember my last Mother’s Day with my surrogate mom. We made her fruit smoothies for breakfast and took her outside and gave her lots of flowers. She loved flowers. I remember how her eyes were really taking everything in. She looked intently at whatever it was she saw. Her much older sister came by and they visited together for several hours. There wasn’t a lot of talking on our parts, just all of us making sure she was comfortable and warm and that we were giving her our full attention. She died the following Saturday.
