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!
NP - Thanks!

Wow. You are blogging. You have a blog.
ReplyDeleteAnd I suppose you will blame me!
LOL

Christ is Risen! How was pascha. Pray for me a sinner. I did not keep the feast.

Hey Seraphim,
ReplyDeleteHe is Risen Indeed!
Yes, you are to blame (see comments from "Sciences & Humanities").
I kept the food fast, but forgot to fast from sin. I'm a slow learner... pray for me a sinner.
Peace
I don't mean the food feast, but the feast of Pascha. I attended no paschal services.
ReplyDeletepls continue to pray for me a sinner
Oops...
ReplyDeleteYou said "feast", not "fast" (I am "e" blind, don't ya know). I missed Pascha as well due to our little guy, but I tell everyone "Christ is Risen!" anyway. :^)
Lord willing we will have many more opportunities to come.
