Back when we were teenagers, my brother and I would always throw my mom a surprise party. As I have mentioned, her birthday is Halloween. We would make sure to set the scene to scare her as best as we could. When I reflect on that, I think, these kids BETTER NOT do that to me! Between my heart and my bladder, something WILL fail!
It has been a while since I felt comfortable having my mom around big crowds, even if it is extended family. This year, though, I wanted to see her happy again. That outweighed my concern!
So, I set out for an unforgettable night. I think I succeeded. Here is where it all started…her scared to come to the door when she saw the smoke in front of the house…
After she got over the fear and entered the building, it was all love and laughs!
I guess we have to do this again next year! I feel like a teen again!
Happy Birthday, Mommy!
