• My mother lives in Ontario so

  My mother lives in Ontario so I give her a call. For the past 5 years I have told the story of her life on stage every Mother's Day with other actors who've written about their moms. The show is called My Mother's Story and every year features different stories juxtaposed together. I call my mother and say "I'm telling your story again" and she says, "Oh no, not again!" but she's pleased. She can't believe that anyone would be interested let alone laugh and cry. This year we filmed the show so she'll be able to see what all the fuss is about.

• This year we had a “planting

  This year we had a “planting bee,” which was hard on the back but good for the soul. Mum got to decide where to put the sunflowers, and the two-and-only grandchildren helped plant the geraniums -- then had a water fight. When I see the annuals in bloom, I will be reminded of this special time we spent together in the garden.

• For Mother's Day, I visit

  For Mother's Day, I visit with my mom and listen to her mixed-up, wonderfully wacky stories from the past. She has Alzheimer's, so her stories are these crazy blends of several events all at once. It's fun!

• I shall first join Ann in

  I shall first join Ann in dutifully visiting her Mother and will hopefully not be thumped on the head with a leather bound bible too often. Will also try to avoid inappropriate, wet smooches on the lips from her step dad, while keeping the conversation as benign and non-confrontational as possible.
  Afterwards, we shall head up for a visit to my Mom and partake in an afternoon of easy-going conversation and laughter. We'll all go together on some beautiful flowers for her patio and Mom and Dad will be happy to see everyone (as usual).
