She Was Surprised

My mother's surprised retirement party last night went off fantastic - she was completely and utterly surprised. I know this as one, we did not tell my father - he is bad with secrets and two, she would have NEVER worn this sweatshirt if she did not think she was just going for Chinese food with my brother and his family. She called me after the party -- although she does not drink on a regular basis she sure can tie one on and did so last night! I love getting drunk phone calls! I do, I swear - Paula can attest to this. I could totally hear how happy and excited she was. It made me smile and smile. Some may measure distance in miles but I do not. I know how to be close regardless of miles. That is a good lesson to have learned in life.
