Nothing. We are not really into all that "you have to buy me something that specific day". Same for birthday or chirstmas. Whenever I find something she might like, I'll get it for her. But we'll go have a nice big steak a few days before. :)

I'm with you on that one NightCrawl, but still will not get my mother any thing, but last week i brought my wife some genuine sheep skin seat covers for her new car since i wrote the last one off. Sheep skin seat covers make a huge difference to comfort in the seats. A gift from my daughter and i to my wife that i can enjoy Innocent

Mothering Sunday here was the 18th March - the fourth Sunday in Lent as it always is here.

Got her her 80th birthday present. A few (five) weeks early as she shares her birthday with Foy here.

As it happens, it was a Kindle 4. She's not usually a gadget person but I lent her my Kindle 3 at Christmas to see how she got on with it. About a week after I passed it to her I got a call from her beginning with, "Do I have to give it back?". So her birthday present was easily decided. I bought it for use with textbooks - Kindles do not get on with non-linear reading as one normally does with textbooks. So it wasn't missed much by me. Though I do find it useful.

I was surprised as I expected to get it back within a week. She doesn't usually get on with electronic stuff. At all...

My father spent 45 yrs. in the navy / dod so my mother was mom and dad growing up. That's why when her health went downhill in 2003 I decided to move to Hawaii to take care of her until she passed in 2006. I could not allow her to have to live in a nursing home being cared for by strangers.

Now I'm doing the same for my father who has parkinson's disease. Caring for both my parents over the last 9 years is very tough mentally especially watching them deteriorate right in front of me but I wouldn't change a thing. They were cared for by me in their own home which beats a nursing home with strangers any day.

It's kind of funny how in my life I went from being their child to being their parent when they got older. Life is funny that way.

Thats the way it should be right bro? They took care of us, we take care of them.

Yes sir. I was born and raised in the Philippines and I'm half filipino and that's just how we do things. We take care of our own.
