Hi All:

Well it was my birthday on Monday. I did not expect, nor did a

receive a call from Mum (she has pretty much forgotten how to use the

telephone most of the time) but I still thought about it and missed it

several time during the day. Not that I had a lot of time, I worked

at a Polling station for the Canadian Election.

Anyway, I went to see Mum yesterday. When I arrived she was sitting

with a group in the lounge going through the current events of the day

- they do this every morning. I walked in - Mum perks up - and says

in one of the loudest voices I have heard from her recently - " Oh good

- you are here - Happy Birthday for yesterday "

I was absolutely blown away!

We had a pleasant visit - went for a walk, stopped and had coffee,

talked politics etc.

When I took her back she became quite agitated which frequently

indictaed that she has to use the toilet so I got her coat off and

hussled her into the bathroom. Once she had done her business, Mum

disolved into tears. " I didn't get anything for her - and it was a

special birthday - it was her 50th! " (Mum often gets her pronouns

mixed up)

Well if I hadn't been blown away enough earlier - It was my 50th

birthday and she remembered. I told her that she had just given me

the best birthday present I had ever recieved and I cried tears of joy

all the way home.

Yesterday will be a cherished memory always.

PS. Don't even get me started on our election but thanks for going

beyond your civic duty at working at a polling station.
