Oh Prissy, it was beautiful! I liked the mention of Tom.
I felt sad at the beginning, I'm sure spend that day without her son was difficult for Lucille. I loved the part of Jacob playing the piano. It was a beautiful gift. And the song fits them so well.
I didn't know it was Mother's Day until I read your message. Here in Argentina we celebrate it in October.

Hey - nice add in there about Jacob's best friend, Tom, becoming a priest - good detail that adds depth.

Awww...love this line:..."I will always be your mother and you will always be my baby." *tears*

"Don't you want to eat your breakfast, Mom?...its okay, Dad didn't make it." Great humor! The little monkey knew how to joke about Henry's cooking AND make his mom feel better. Although, hugs are wonderful...morning food is a necessity.

Oh no! Jacob wants to see Margaret. *sad* but, she was always nice to him and he is a kid so its only natural. I'm glad Lucille recognized that.

Oh! You killed with the "Baby Mine" song - I was holding back tears at Jacob's excited gift and you throw in a song and piano? Ultimate Mother's Day present. I mean what could top that? AND he learned it on the Internet? (darn smart kid!)

Excellent one shot as were the others in this challenge - great job and a definite read for next
year.

New favorite themed story from you!

Oh my this so was so adorable. Couldn't help feel sad for Lucille; then happy then sad then happy again lol. Love Henry getting upset when Jacob his mother. Super sweet/sad moment when Lucille hugged Jacob and wouldn't let him go.

Girl there are tears in my eyes right now! This was so beautiful and perfect and well written. I love that Baby Mine is their song, it's one of my fave lullabies and it fits Jacob and Lucille so well.
