I wanted my Mom to have a really nice Sunday. I took her for a long drive. We meandered slowly around so that she could see the scenery and beautiful spring flowers. She said she wanted hot dogs and ice cream, so I bought them for her.

We came back to her house and laughed and talked. I surprised her with a gift that she really liked.

Then the member of my family who has hurt me so much called Mom. Before she answered the phone Mom told me to not make any noise because she didn't want that person to know I was in her house.

I gathered my things and left as quickly as I could. There was no use in saying anything. She'll never change. Our beautiful day was ruined.

PS. My only brother was married this weekend. I wasn't invited. I was doing pretty well with it until I found out the bride's sister was there...
