I called to visit my ex husband's mother on Sunday. I knew she would be home alone all day so when I'd finished my quick shop, I dropped off two bunches of roses with gyp and a newspaper.
She was tickled pink about the gift, so easily pleased as always. I told her I could call later that evening, I know that's her loneliest time. I called at about 8.00 pm. The roses were in 2 beautiful crystal vases and she was looking happy.
We chatted for ages and she cried. I think I'm actually the only person she opens up to as she doesn't want to upset her children albeit they are well grown up. I stayed until about 11.30 pm. I put the lock on her gate and as I left, she thanked me again for the roses saying they really lifted her spirits.
This lady is a diamond if ever there was one and I'm so glad I not only got to know her but proud that she still embraces me with love even though I am estranged from her son.
What a diamond!
