A Wicked surprise
I love surprises, I guess we all do, at least the good kind of surprises. One of my kids especially, LOVES to be surprised. Bonafide, don’t tell me a clue, surprise me, that is what she loves – the bigger the better. It makes her giddy. I love it. I love that aspect of her personality. She will be the one out of a million that will wait to find out the sex of her child (someday… not now). That ultrasound stuff, that will not be her cup of tea. Now… her husband… yes, but her, no way. She will want it to be the biggest surprise of her life.
Yesterday morning, we were all set to go to a mom and daughter happy birthday breakfast. Cool. I love to spend time with her. Really, I am fortunate, not only do I love all my kids, but like them so very much, spending time with them is as precious to me as anything I know. So, off we go for breakfast. As we have just ordered, she hands me this musical little birthday card, with no music… huh? where is the music I ask? so she pulls out a ticket to Wicked! Wicked! the musical I have wanted to see for 3 years! And the date on it is the very same day! So, surprise mom, we are off to Tulsa to see Wicked! woo hoo
It was fabulous! It was make you cry incredible. It was priceless. It was the most amazing and thoughtful thing. It was precious because she knew exactly what I would love. We had a wonderful, wonderful day. I cried, I laughed, I loved every second. So, honey, you got me. Truly, well and good, you got me. And I adore you for it. For all you little behind the scene planners that helped pull it off, I love you too!
I feel… wicked!
Although I can’t take credit, it was fun planning it with her….I’m glad you had a ball.
