This year was JB's first Mother's Day! I was on my way home Sunday morning from being on call and stopped at Safeway to get flowers. It was around 8:30am and the florist section was abuzz with activity.
I found the perfect bundle of multi-colored roses and headed for the checkout. The express lane had about 5-6 guys in it, all with flowers in hand. We all had sheepish grins on our faces, mildly embarrassed as only a bunch of men can be while holding flowers in the presence of other men.
The stop for flowers was not pre-planned. I'd had three black & white photos framed together as a kind of shrine to Motherhood along with a card. The flower idea had hit me at the last minute and seeing so many other men w/the same idea I knew I was on the right track.
She loved them and I'd managed not to bumble this very important day!
