Last Friday I tried to buy a Mother's Day card for my mum.
There were 'joke cards', about my letting her still do my laundry. There were sentimental cards. There were bland cards. There were no cards that seemed right.
I didn't buy her one. I doubt she noticed, and if she did she probably doesn't remember. But I DO feel a bit guilty for not sending anything.
On a similar note, when I phoned on Easter Sunday, my dad handed her the phone. She aske "Who's this?" She didn't believe it was me. She kept asking how I was doing, but I had to answer in the third person. It was sweet, she was really interested to know how I was doing. Weird...
Knowing that you tried should set your mind at ease. I could never find the right ones either, so I just stopped trying. Sometimes, I regret that.
