Surprise Party!

I just got off the phone with my mom and she told me about her surprise birthday party on Wednesday. Cousins, John & Barbara, from Colorado, came to her house with loads of food and a cake. My mom told me she was still thinking she was going out to dinner with them because she had gotten a gift certificate for a Mexican Restaurant. Barbara told her to eat something but she thought she didn't want to spoil her appetite. Even when some friends showed up to the house, she didn't quite understand what was happening. So when more guests arrived she just stood at the open door realizing this was a party just for her on her 80th birthday! I heard that Barbara thought of everything. She brought in flowers, a punch bowl, tablecloths, etc. to make this a special day. This was very much more than a card and a blessing - these two cared enough to give such a great gift! Thank you so very much for blessing my mom! The only thing that was missing was me being there to join in the fun.
