One of my favorite memories of when Mom made me truly happy was the day she surprised me with a mum for homecoming! I was in 8th grade and I was an office aid that year for 1st period. As we all remember, mums were "the thing" to wear for homecoming. All the "cool and popular" kids wore them, and of course, I HAD to have one! I'm sure I begged and begged Mom to buy me one, but they were expensive and Mom wouldn't give in.
On homecoming morning, I remember the office at the school was really busy. Lots of mums were being dropped off for students. One of my responsibilities as an aid was to deliver the things that came in to the students they belonged to. Well, needless to say, I was very envious of every mum that was being delivered. I still really wanted one!
When one mum in particular was being carried in by a delivery man, I remember thinking, "WOW! I wonder who's AWESOME mum that is?" The delivery man set it on the counter and handed me the paper saying who to deliver it to. "For Laurel Glemser, Love Mom!" I could not believe it! Mom bought me a mum!!! And not just any mum...one of the BEST ones I had seen all morning! I don't think I cried back then like I do now, but I remember being so surprised and happy and could not wait to get home that day and thank Mom for what she had done! It made my day for sure! I LOVED that mum! It hung on my wall next to Sarah's for many, many years!
Thank you, Mom, for making me so very happy that day!!!! :)
