David and I went to visit mom today! We went outside and sat in the garden and enjoyed the beautiful day! We sat in the gazebo while I painted mom's nails. They don't look the best because she kept moving her hand and the nail polish was clumping on her nails. We walked around the garden for a while, but mom took lots of breaks. She really focused on David, but who wouldn't, he's an active boy!! Mom was good today. She didn't say much but seemed really relaxed once we were outside. It's been awhile probably since she's been outside and a little fresh warm air always does good.

Happy Mother's Day!

I found this poem and wanted to share it!

When You Thought I Wasn't Looking

When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw you hang my first picture on the refrigerator,
and I wanted to paint another one.

When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw you feed a stray cat, and I thought
it was good to be kind to animals.

When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw you make my favorite cake for me,
and I knew that little things are special things.

When you thought I wasn't looking,
I heard you say a prayer,
and I believed there was a God that I
could always talk to.

When you thought I wasn't looking,
I felt you kiss me good night,
and I felt loved.

When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw tears come from your eyes and I learned
that sometimes things hurt,
but it's all right to cry.

When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw that you cared and I wanted to be
everything that I could be.

When you thought I wasn't looking,
I looked....and now I want to say thanks
for all the things I saw,
when you thought I wasn't looking.

Mom,
I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day! Though we can't see or hear your thoughts I hope you still remember us when we visit and remember the good times we had. The long chats and the shoppng sprees! I love you and miss you with all my heart!!!
