A Letter from a daughter… (Mother's Day '92)
Dearest Mommy,
We’ve always felt lucky you stay home looking After us instead of working in an office. But now, with Mother’s day just a couple of days away, we wish that You did so we can carry out planned surprises (knowing How you love them – the pleasant ones, that is…..)
Thank god tomorrow’s a Sunday. Dad agreed
to baby-sit You. He’ll take you to church and visit the
mall until lunchtime And then – the surprise!
You’ll come home to a house sparkling clean. You can Wipe your hanky on the furniture it will still be white.
The table will be festively laden – (we'll see if Cathy deserves her 95 in H.A.)
The vases will be full of the choicest blooms. Big brother will be an early bird for once to buy them.
The younger kids will be spic and Span and at their most angelic behavior for I'm doing Mary Poppins.
Ah, tomorrow – I can hardly wait to see you beaming with pleasure and probably wishing that it’s mother’s day everyday. We could Fulfill that wish – but all work and no play makes for dull kids. Surely you wouldn't’ want that.
Teasing aside, though I won’t promise to be an everyday angel – I’ll try because I do love you!
- CMR Ps – you’ll get this letter tonight, ‘cause the only way you’ll get to read this is when you peek into my diary and that’s off-limits!
