mother's day

my two daughters and my elder girl's fiance ian surprised their mother/future mother-in-law with a floral bouquet delivered to her working place on friday, 8 may 2009. ivy had called the fareastflora.com at thomson road from melbourne to make the order.

when told by the office staff that there was a floral basket in the office for her, my wife thought that the office staff were trying to pull her leg. in spite of repeated messages from the office, she refused to believe it was for her. 'what's the occasion? my birthday's in january'. finally, when she looked at the words on the delivery order, she was overjoyed by the gesture from melbourne.

happy mother's day to all mothers.

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.
