When I was 10, my Brothers and I searched for a Mother’s Day gift. We picked a pretty but cheap flower vase at the dime store.
We could not find a card which said “from your 3 Sons” so we just put an “S” after Son and a “3” before. For some reason it really touched her.
Many years later she told me that vase was the most valuable thing she owned. After she died, I found the card in her keepsakes. My Daughter now has it and the vase.
Mom was touched by our grown up gift...leau de toilette....17 cents at Woolworths. Always wondered why it lasted so long.
Nice story.

Very sweet. Thanks.
How sweet is that!
