Dear Suzy and Kathy,

                I forgot to mention that I may have made a nuisance of myself, and I’m trying to think of how not to do that in the future.  I was so happy to find Mom in the dining room, but it resulted in the staff’s doing more to serve us.  First, they brought us soda, and I don’t think Mom or any of us drink that, so I asked for iced tea.  Then they prepared a plate for Mom, which she decided she didn’t want.

 I think tomorrow I’ll bring some milk, which we can keep in the refrigerator (unless Mom decides it’s poisoned and throws it away).  

I’m also wondering whether I should try to come later so I’m not spoiling Mom’s appetite in case she wants to eat in the dining room.  What do you think?

                I also think I forgot to tell you that when I told her about Mother’s Day, she asked, “Was I there too?”
