What Should We Do For Mom?

One of the greatest things I ever did for my own mother was when my sisters and I decided to give her money. It made her happy to buy what she truly wanted. Since then, she never gets tired of getting gift cards, and neatly folded dollar bills in cards. Her eyes light up in surprise, even after years of giving the same gift. We all would prefer to buy her maybe a piece of jewelry or a hand bag, but gift cards and money make her happy. After all, she did give birth to us, cleaned us up, wiped our mouths, and held us when we were sick. And she did stand by us when we got bullied by our peers and disciplined by our dad. And now that we’re older, she’s there to care for our own children, when we need a break.
