It was a difficult time. I was five years old and I knew that there was a big and important holiday for mommy's coming up and I didn't have any pop can money to buy my mom a gift because I had used it all for candy instead. To make it worse, I had eaten the candy. My brother brought his hand made gift home from school. Oh, the guilt! No amount of consoling was going to make me feel ANY better so I went over to see Mrs. Baker and as I stood on her front porch with tears running down my fat little cheeks I blubbered to her in my childish small voice that I had no money and no gift for my mom on Mother's Day. After awhile she made sense out of my distress and tear soaked mumblings and brought me inside their house where she sat me down in a chair much too big for me and quietly and patiently explained to me that I could take one of the pictures out of one of the coloring books she had, color it and give it to my mom. So that is what we did that afternoon together. Once the picture was colored, she helped me write my name on the picture and then found a piece of glass and taped the glass edges with some brown electrical tape, and she gave me a violet tulip out of her garden to add to my picture. As I walked away from her house that afternoon, proud as any little girl could be, I knew that I had made one person feel good and left one feeling bad. It was the way she looked at me as I left her house that is still hard to forget.
