A Grandmother's Shower...

My wonderful mother had something VERY special happen to her yesterday....Her friends at work threw her a "Grandmother's Shower."

Have you ever heard of that? I have not, but her best friend Rita thought it would be a great idea. Mom is So excited about being a Grandmother. I mean lets face it, If you know my mom then you would know that she has wanted nothing more in life than to be a mother and a grandmother. It works out.

So Rita and Sonia and the hotel was so kind to mom and they had a beautiful spread of food for us, and she got wonderful gifts from her friends and the hotel. People from other departments came and honored her about becoming a Grandmother. All the different things she will need when she takes care of my son so I can go back to work. we are working out a plan that mom become very self sufficient with the baby and all I will have to do is drop him off. She already has a crib, bedding, a bath, a beautiful travel system, blankets, toys, I will give her some bottles and much more. She is so happy. As am I. We spent part of the day together yesterday before the shower and I thanked her in advance...

"why honey?" she said.

"for all you have done for us...not just all you HAVE done but all you WILL be doing for us."

"oh honey." she had tears in her eyes.

"you have no idea what it means to Danny and I that you will be a large assett to Joey's life. that you want to be involved in raising him."

"I wouldn't have it any other way." she said.

"Neither would I." I agreed

Mom shared with me that day too, that it was the very first shower she has ever had. In her honor. I thought strange, but when she told me that before she was married a wedding shower was not in fashion and before she had Angela she did not have a baby shower because, some people..(her mom) were very superstitious....(which I have heard that before).

So the other nice thing about this shower from her friends and peers at work was this. My mother takes care of everyone..and it was so nice to see them all give back to her. Just wonderful. they are all so excited for her and they cant wait to meet Joey. It will be wonderful.
I have never doubted the hotel she works for and the people that work there. They all are good people and they take care of each other. Mom has taken great care of them and they are all rejoicing in her excitement and happiness of becoming a grandmother.

I was there and not the center of attention so it suited me just fine. She entertained everyone and laughed and joked and cried and loved. It was wonderful to see....My mom's Grandmother Shower.
