Mother's Day

Mother's day for me technically started the Sunday before. Our Pastor's oldest ended up in the hospital with fluid around his heart. His mom was with him when we went up to the hospital to visit. We were supposed to have a Mother/Daughter Tea the Saturday before Mother's day and she was concerned that it might not happen with her in the hospital. I told her I would make a sign-up list for food and ask Bill's mom to decorate. She is good at this...

Everything went beautifully and during the Tea Bill's mom asked to say something. She told about her mom and all she had done and meant to her. Grandma Hoffman died last spring. She said she was going to embarrass me. Being a blonde through and through I thought this wouldn't be hard. Instead of that she took off a ring which was one her favorites and gave it to me. By this time I think everyone was crying.

I was touched beyond belief. It could have been a plastic ring for all I cared as I knew the feelings that came with it. Bill's mom is a wonderful woman and like a mother to all the girls in church. I have been so blessed to have Bill's parents going to the same church.

It was my first Mother/Daughter function since I have had girls of my own. We had a lot of fun.

Sunday we went to church and all the ladies got a gift.

Sunday night after church I started to miscarry. At the time we just weren't sure and we made plans to go to the doctor the next morning.
