Yesterday afternoon I was sitting in the living room reading a book, when in walked my son and daughter in law with a new plasma TV. At first, I thought that they were maybe bringing the TV in so that it wouldn’t have to sit outside in the car. Even though chances are no one would have taken it, in this day and age, you can’t be cautious enough. My son then walked in with the plasma TV box and set it in front of me and said, “Happy early birthday mom”. At first, it didn’t register to me what he was saying, and then I realized that the plasma TV was for me. It doesn’t happen often, but in that moment I was speechless. I told my son and daughter in law that I thought it was really sweet of them, but that I couldn’t accept the gift that it was far too expensive. My son explained that he’d found the plasma TV for a great price online and that it wasn’t nearly as expensive as I may think, and that he wanted me to not only accept the TV, but also to enjoy it. I am so appreciative of my son and daughter in law, and grateful for the plasma TV.
