Hallmark says it's there "when you care to send the very best." But I don't think they can even help me this week.
My mom turns 60 this Sunday, and I'm sure that she'll treat it just like any other day. She's never been one for glamour or fanfare. Maybe just some flowers and a balloon or two if one son is smart enough to remember. And she only has one son folks. Guess who?
