It fades all too soon. Your story renewed my fond memories of those way-back times. Thank you for that gift. This Mother's day was celebrated at the other end of life's spectrum, with my father who turned 95 on Mother's Day. If you can count back, he was born on the very first official US Mother's Day, in 1914, and there can't be a whole lot of those folks sharing that event left. Motherhood was nothing new for his mother that day, as he was 9th of 10 children, but she got special recognition that day. I have no idea how many of her children brought her plants for how many Mother's days, though living to 92, she gave her children many opportunities. I hope you and your son will have as many and enjoy them as much as you do now. I loved your story and your son’s enthusiasm – as well as your love of his enthusiasm. It fades all too soon.
