Mom used to say, "Real charity is done anonymously".
And Mom was so good at making fun and beautiful cakes.
Dad mentioned at Mom's funeral something I never knew about her when it came to this philosophy.
He mentioned when we were little and living in Buffalo, NY...Mom used to make one of her famously nice cakes every month and bring it down to the local orphanage for the kids there to be able to have a birthday cake once in a while. So the kids with a birthday in that month would be able to celebrate with something.
And she did it secretly, almost - it seems only Dad knew about it. She'd make the cake, and pass it to the orphanage, and leave without much of a thank you, it seems.
That's pretty remarkable, that she did that.
