So, truth be told, I really did luck out when I was born. I was born to a fantastic mother. She is kind and giving and generous and fun. She loves me, my brother, my children, my husband, my friends. Not to mention her siblings, her in laws, her nieces and nephews and her friends. She is wise and she is caring. If you are reading this and you know my mother, I know that you know that you are one lucky person. Everyone whose life gets to mingle with hers feels loved, blessed and delighted in. My mom makes people feel special. She makes people feel valued and enjoyable. When people are with her, they get a sense that they are worth something.
I was truly the lucky one today, because my mom spent her birthday with me. In Vancouver. I took her and Emily (whose birthday is NEXT week) to a fancy place called the UrbanTea Merchant (shout out to Sherri K who let me in on this little gem – you’re next SK!)
We each got to pick our own facny tea, and then indulge in some old fashion tea time, complete with finger sandwiches -no crusts), scones with devonshire cream and yummy dainites. It all got the pinky finger salute from us!
Happy Birthday Mom, you are really truly the best. You are wonderful. I only hope I am half as wonderful as you some day.
Me and the birthday girls and all the tea there is to choose from
How perfect is that?
Perfect to the last crumb...
can't forget the tea.
