Mothers' Day

Mothers' Day was celebrated in the USA today. My family in Narowal, Pakistan, does not have a mother there. So how will they celebrate this day? Sometimes they take me as their mother but I have shifted to USA and they are even without a 'father' at the moment. I spoke to Tanveer and Anne today on the phone. While the other boys, Musa and Hamza, were sleeping Sajra Noor, my grand-daughter, was awake and she said hello to me. I could over hear Abdullah Sulman trying to reach me but as he can't talk I was unable to make a contact with him. Here Helen's all children celebrated Mothers' Day with her. Sandy and Penny came from Springfiled while Lori and Mona joined us from here. So were their kids. Tristin read out to me ten of his saying for the reason of which he loved his mom, Penny. Scotti brought a beautiful small trolly for his mother. Kareen had visited us, accompanied by her youngest daughter Samie, two days earlier and brought a beautiful gift for Helen. Dave brought a plant for her. Dave is a nice and loving son-in-law and Penny's husband. Alisha and Shelbe also joined us at Mona's for a desert party. Both are Lori's daughters. We all had a grand dinner party at Mary's Chiken about 12 miles from Lamar, MO, in honor of these children's mother, Helen Jane Butt. She looked so beautiful and smart that I had to tell her of this reality but she thought it was because she looked good and beautiful to "me". God bless her children here and all in Pakistan. I was happy to read in the Daily Nation, Lahore, a newspaper from Pakistan that Mothers' Day was also celebrated there too but sad side of it was that my children missed their Mom there.May be we all are togather here next year.
