How to Make Your Mother Cry


It was definitely a conspiracy. They were all in on it, from Texas to California, not one of them even gave a hint. Talked to Paul on the phone, nothing, FB, no hints, Lynne just made sure I was home and had no plans, nothing unusual. We went to Lynne's open house at her new school, fabulous new location, great teachers, awesome kids, God is really blessing her school. After the open house everyone in our family was coming over for homemade pizza, something they all love to make.

Never is everyone available, there is always a teen social event that takes precedence over grandmas house. They never do that. But not this time, every one was coming. Johnny came home with me from the open house to help get dinner ready, he never does that and Joe sat in the living room where he could look out the window, he never does that, and I was busy in the kitchen, I always do that.

Dinner almost ready, pizzas in the oven and home made cream puffs filled with lemon curd ready for dinner. No low cal stuff for us today.

In walked Joey ready for his pizza! He had to be in L.A. tomorrow for business so he came a day early to spend some time with his mommy. It doesn't get much better than that.

And that is what makes a mother cry, tears of surprise and joy.
