Today And Every Day I Celebrate You

---

One of those daughters of mine…

Sent a message…on Mother’s Day…hope you plan to be home today…it said…cuz you can expect…a delivery…mama me planned to be home all day…relaxing…reading…chatting with her girls…petting cats…eating dinner…created by that chef husband of hers…

Expect the delivery before five…she said…and a niggling of anticipation set in…even old gals…get excited about a special surprise…on a special day…but five o’clock…came and went…surely the store is swamped…perhaps running behind…but 5 turned to 6…6 became 6:30…a disappointed daughter…gave the shop a call…all deliveries are out…done for the day…have to wait and call again…tomorrow…

The Lemonade Bouquet…with a fancy box of chocolates thrown in…for the oversight…graced the doorstep with an apology…those daughters of mine sad…about the mix up…the mistake…but…hey…what’s to say you can’t celebrate those you love…any old time you want…

Maybe it’s a holiday…maybe it’s a birthday…maybe it’s just a boring old Monday…or maybe…as it should be…we hold a little celebration…for those special people…every day…
​
And those daughters of mine…agree…
