Mom finally made it !!!!

Now this was worth everything we went through yesterday morning trying to figure out what was wrong with Mom. She was so happy. The facility had entertainment for an hour and then the big anouncement for King and Queen of the Valentine dance. They called Moms name and we were all so surprised. The residents voted for their King and Queen. She received a crown, a shoulder sach and a red rose. The King was a retired Marine, Bob. A very sweet man.The singing Sheriff (can't remember his name) sang a love song to Mom. He is a sheriff in our county. It was just the sweetest thing I've ever seen. Mom was all smiles and just waved to the crowd. They both sang "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" with the microphone. Mom actually sang and knew every word.

Then Mom thanked everyone and said "I'm so thrilled. I've never been the Queen of anything". They were both in their wheelchairs and we took tons of pictures. Refreshments afterward. It was a good evening. A very good end to an exhausting day. We took Mom back to her apt. and put her to bed. She said "thank you girls. I had a wonderful evening". So sweet.......good memories.

Love, Chris
