I get open my eyes when the light hits my face. Groaning from being woken up from my slumber, I grab my phone to check the time. The screen lights up and I squint my eyes trying to see, 7:30 am. Sighing, I lay back with my head on my pillow and my phone in my hand next to my head. After a couple of minutes of just laying there, I realize something.
"What`s today's date?" I whisper to myself, I lift my hand with my phone in it and the screen lights up, causing me to squint my eyes. When I see what day it is I shoot up from my bed and run to my walk-in closet and grab some clothes and then run to the bathroom.
"How could I have forgotten today?" I ask myself as I get into the shower. I get out and get dressed in a white t-shirt and black skinny jeans. I run to my vanity and brush my hair. When I walk out of my bathroom I look at myself in the mirror. I nod my head happy with my choice of clothes and open my door and walk down the hall to my parent's room.
"Good, she`s still asleep," I think to myself with a smile on my face, and turn around and walk downstairs to the kitchen. When I get down there I see dad standing by the stove, cooking some pancakes.
"Hey, dad," I say walking to the fridge getting the eggs out.
"Hey sweetie, are you ready?" Dad asks and I nod and start to make scrambled eggs.
After a couple of minutes, we had pancakes, eggs, sausages, hash browns, and orange juice on a bed tray ready to be brought up to mom. Dad grabs a bag that has tissue paper poking out the top of it, and he hands me a card and I sign it and had it to him so he can sign. When he's done signing it he puts it in the bag poking out over the top and smiles at me. We walk to the stairs me holding the bed tray. We walk upstairs and get to my parent's room, dad opens the door allowing me to walk in. I walk in and he follows me in, we stand at the end of the bed by mom, and dad shakes her awake and she starts to wake up, when she sits up and looks at us with a confused expression, we smile and say.
"HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!"

A Year Later
*BEEP* *BEEP*
I open my eyes and reach for my phone and turn off my alarm. I lay back down and look up at the ceiling. Sighing I grab my phone and look at the time 8:00 am, I sigh when I see what day it is. I get up and walk to my closet and get some clothes out and walk to the bathroom and take a shower.
I get out and put on a light blue mid-thigh dress, and walk to my vanity and brush my hair and walk out of my bathroom and grab my hone and leave my room and walk to Jeff`s room knock on his door. I hear shuffling and then the door opens.
"What?" He asks when he opens the door, I can tell he just woke up.
"Did you forget what day it was?" I ask, and a smile found its way onto my face when I saw his confused face.
"What day is it?" He asks and I shake my head turning around and walking downstairs.
"Check your phone and meet me downstairs," I say when I get to the stairs and walking downstairs and into the kitchen. When I get in the kitchen I go to the fridge and talk out the eggs and other ingredients I need.
After a couple of minutes, Jeff comes downstairs and helps me to finish cooking breakfast. When we finish we have eggs, toast, waffles, and some hash browns. We put the plate on the bed tray, along with a glass of milk. Jeff picks it up and we walk upstairs to her bedroom. When we get there I open the door a little bit and Uncle Bruce opens the door all the way and when he sees us he smiles causing us to smile back at him.
Uncle Bruce looks behind him and holds and finger up to his mouth, and we walk over to the side of the bed quietly.
"Aunt Ruth," I whisper while shaking her trying to get her to wake up, After a couple of minutes and a few tries at getting her up she gets up and when she is fully awake she looks at all of us and smiles.
"HAPPY MOTHERS DAY," we say and she starts to laugh causing all of us to laugh along. Jeff puts down the bed tray and gives her a kiss on the cheek, me and Uncle Bruce do the same and we all sit on the bed with her.
"Thank you," she says grabbing the toast and taking a bite of it. While she eats we all put on a movie and watch.
Halfway through the movie, I feel my phone vibrate and I look around and see that Jeff and Uncle Bruce have fallen asleep and Aunt Ruth was watching the movie eyes closing and opening again, see her like this cause me to let out a small chuckle. I pull out my phone and press the home button and it lights up and I smile when I see who texted me.
Happy mothers day, future mama ~Trevor
