Actually yeah...in a weird kinda way...
She can apparently still shop online...
I got a package yesterday from a jewelry shop...
and yeah, it made me cry...
In the package were 3 honorary degrees and a beautiful necklace along with the following "ceremony"
You have spent half your lifetime caring for, protecting, teaching and loving me. The following is a presentation of all the awards you have earned for doing such a wonderful job raising me.
This award is given to those who courageously press forward and keep going, even though wounded and hurt, to meet the objective.
The first year is where you really ahd your job cut out. Remember all those sleepless, thankless nights worrying about little illnesses, changing diapers, feeding and bathing me? I now thank you for htem and award you an Honorary Registered Nursing Degree for your dedication and skill.
The best teachers would have a hard time accomplishing all you did in a few short years. You taught me right from wrong, good from bad, and mostimportant -- how to love. I hearby award you an Honorary Masters Degree in Teaching and add my sincere appreciation for a job well done.
The formative years until I left home were rought. Yet, you taught me to care for people and to cope with the task of life and living. I hearby award you an Honorary Degree in Psychology and I add to the tears of joy I feel while writing this, a tender kiss of gratitude for your love.
The last few years of wondering what I have been up to and if I will get where I am going have demonstrated your ability to always be there when needed. Even when you were not in the best of spirits, you always had enough inner strength to lift me up and keep me going. for this you have already received your award; it is hte Touch of Kindness, Protection, and Peace of Mind, given to those worthy of the from the Ruler of Eternity, our G-d and Savior Jesus Christ.
The next award is the enclosed Diamond Necklace. Actually it is not meant to be an award, but a presentation of my appreciation for all the work, efforc, and love you put into making me someone who is happy and proud to be your child. When you feel down, wear it; let it reming you that in this cold world there is the warmth of my love always iwth you. It will last forever. I love you for havin gthe courage to be yourself and for being the Best Mom in the World.
I'll post a pic of the necklace later...gotta find batteries for hte camera...
