Mother's Day

It was just like any holiday I would wake up in. But this one's different--it was Mother's Day! My eyes suddenly flipped open and I started rummaging through my school bag.

"Where is it?" I whispered to myself. "Found it!" I hugged the rectangular object in silver wrappings.

I found mom emailing her brothers and sister on the computer. How about shoving it into her face? Will that surprise her? No, no I might give her a heart attack. I took a deep breath and said 'Happy Mother's Day!' and gave her a hug.

"Oh! What's this!" Mom said carefully feeling through the wrapper. "Is it a planner? Oh wait! It's a book! Yeah! No, wait. No, no,no," she shook her head, "its a planner...."

I smiled to myself. She will never know.

But that wasn't the end of it. She swiftly opened the present I gave her and she let out a huge sigh, "Oh! For me?" she read the title out loud. I stopped her when she started to read my whole vignette.

After that she displayed at the top of the shelf in our living room. The silver frame glistening proudly under the light of the morning.
