1. I'm coming out to visit for the first time in four years.
Scored some $99 tickets.

It was sort of an accident. I didn't even realize it was Mother's Day this Sunday.

But I'm not admitting to that part. :hide:

2. Flowers...
It's about the only thing she will recognize. Dementia is a bitch.

12. Well,
For me I don't see her more than once every few weeks. She is having delusions, and sees two of my Dad. One is good and the other isn't. He is an angel for taking care of her.

They are six hours away, so it's not easy to get out to see them.

7. My presence for one
Not being snarky either. We haven't been able to be with my Mom for Mother's Day for maybe four years. The day I told her we were coming she practically shouted my ear off on the phone! My daughter and I will be going with her to the Mother/Child banquet at her church. My aunt and cousins are joining us. Mom is very excited about it!

For her gifts to open, AALette's school does 'personality' pictures in the Spring. Hers were great, so I ordered one to frame and wrap. I also got her a heart necklace that has her birthstone and birthstone dangles, one for each of us.

I guess she's really cashing in this year! :D

8. That's the most important gift you can give, your presence.

9. I'm subscribing to MLB.TV for my mom for the rest of the season.
She loves baseball more than I do, and it's something she can enjoy for months and months.
