I still feel am on vacation. It’s been almost three years since we came home and i feel like we’re on extended vacation. My mother does most of the cooking and I miss doing it myself. Though all the time it feels great just sitting back, relaxing, doing most of the talking while she cooks. What am I gonna do without her? In 9 days she’s turning 60 but she moves around like she’s 40! She hates parties, definitely hates birthday surprises and gifts. (Well i recently bought her a Nokia 1200 (cheap and nice!) because the old 3310 already went kaput and she really loved it.) Maybe I’ll just give her a big hug to say thank you for everything that she does.
