My Mom and I don't always see eye to eye. I think that is true for most mother-daughters, but still it is kind of an issue for us. Anyway, today I'm putting aside our prior differences and showering her with compliments because she deserves them. She took care of me today like only a mother could!
Background: I have strep throat, a fever, a headache, other embarrassing issues and I was out of the office yesterday resting. I returned to work today probably a bit prematurely. I've had my door closed all day and only left my office to run downstairs and meet my mom for a few minutes.
Why my Mom is the BEST Mom ever: She drove all the way from God's country (Upland) to my favorite Mexican restaurant in Muncie- La Hacienda Mexican Cantina- just to get me their soup! She knew I only had a 30 minute lunch break (summer hours) and couldn't make it there myself. She went and got my soup (and chips with salsa- YUM!) and BROUGHT THEM TO MY OFFICE. Seriously? Yep. Now that is service. Not only did she DELIVER my lunch (keep in mind I am 28 years old and should really be able to care for myself at this point), but she also knew that we were going through a stressful time with some career issues---I'll address those in a different post at a later date---so she brought me medicine to ward off stress-related issues I develop. (I know that explanation is super vague and intend for it to be so there!) It was beyond thoughtful of her. Seriously. I was blown away. I'm pretty darn tough on my Mom at times so the fact that she is still willing to bring me soup, medicine and lend an ear blows me away.
Thank you SO much, Mom. I love you!
