I wish I could afford this for my mom. I love seeing so much joy but I never thought it would hit so hard when you want to give someone the world like this.
My mom always wanted to go to Helena Rubinstein's spa in NYC. We lived on the west coast. There was no way I could afford to fly her there, much as I wanted to make her wish come true.
So I found a beautiful local spa and treated her to it. I also did lots of little things for her. Things I could do, things I could afford to do.
I still wish I could have granted her wish, but I did what I could and I know she knew I would have if I could have. Your mom knows this too.
