I went to the eye doctor today.  I have cataracts.  The doctor was surprised I could see as well as I can.

A few years ago my mom had cataract surgery.  It's not a hard surgery.  She wanted all five of her girls there with her.  I asked her why we all needed to be there.  She said, "Because I thought it would be fun.  And we can go to lunch after."  That was my mom, she loved a good time.  She always made things fun.  She loved to celebrate the holidays.  I really miss that woman.

I think I shall request the presence of my kiddos when I have my cataract surgery!
