My Mother's Baking Bowl - Ever the Practical One!

Mum arrived up to visit just after my first chemo session. She brought a gift - a baking bowl! 

I thought it a bit random. But, I did like to bake occasionally and was always saying how I must get a proper one with the 'lip' on the edge for pouring mixtures. She looked as me with a totally vacant expression on her face! ''Oh that's not a baking bowl Serena, it's a vomit bowl!" She continued to say, "that black basin you have is too big and ugly looking beside the bed! This will look nicer for when people visit you! And it's low enough that you can slide it under the bed to hide it!"

I laughed so hard, I cried! Then when I thought I'd finished laughing, the innocent and still very vacant look on her face, made me laugh even more! Laughter really is the best medicine!

Thanks mum! Love you! Xx
