Mom is finally feeling better after her knee got fixed. As you can see, I was right there the whole time, helping her heal and keeping her company. I basically slept on the bed the whole time, just in case she needed me. And I stayed really, really close, just to be sure. I'm pretty sure that's the reason she got better so fast.
OK, I guess my folks did think of me at least once while on vacation, as you can see. There's still no excuse for not taking me with them, but I'm glad to know that my name is forever memorialized in the sands of Hawaii.
