mother's day surprises

mothers hold their children's hands for a short while, but their hearts forever

on mother's day, 11 may, lay bee received an international call from australia just before 8.00 a.m. ivy and ida were already at their church in waverley when they called their mother to wish her a happy mother's day.

on tuesday when lay bee was in school, she received an even bigger surprise. the two girls made her very happy by getting noel to deliver a bouquet of roses for mother's day to her school.

she had not expected to be showered with so much gratitude and love as the two girls had already got her a very nice blouse and made her a bottle of jam. ivy had also given her a 'happy mother's day' card. i was the courier of these three items when i returned from melbourne in april.
