Ok, stupid me just received a ring up showing me how neuronally challenged I can be.

For many years I have had a standing order for red roses to be sent to my Mum on Valentines Day. As many of you know, she passed on Jan 21st this year. Well, idiot me completely forgot about it and so didn't cancel the order. The florist just rang me saying the driver couldn't get access to her building and if I could give them a unit number they could buzz to leave them with. So, with my heart in my throat I informed them of her passing and apologized. They were sweet as can be and said they would credit my card. However, I told them no and could they please buzz Mum's good mate in 303 and deliver them to her. Now, to cancel my standing reservations for tonight.

1. May today's sadness be tempered by memories of good times!

2. At least you gave them your business by giving the flowers to a close friend of your Mom's.

Very nice gesture.



Your mom would be very proud of what you did today.

3. That was very sweet of you and I'm sure that your Mum's friend will think so too.

I'm sorry about your mother.

4. Aww, that is so nice and the lady in 303 will love it and think of her friend. That's lovely...n/t

5. I'm sure 303 was delighted.

What a kind thing to do! I hope your Valentine's day is wonderful.

6. You are not stupid, that is a lot to deal with

though nowhere near your experience the love of my life broke up with me after several years and this is my first valentines day without her and I got an email remdiner fron nanz & kraft not to forget to send her the 12 dozen roses I sent her previous years. My eyes teared up fast. So you are not stupid.

8. I've tried to call my mom several times, she died in 2009. You are not stupid.

9. I am so glad you said this...

I heard a real funny on Stephanie Miller last week and right away rang up my Mum only to hear "This number is no longer in service" and absolutely broke down. I thought I was daft beyond help but good to know I'm not alone in this.

[Mnemosyne]

10. No, dear one, you are not alone.
