Good health. For most of her life, bar her first few years, when nature probably protected her with a boost from the growth hormone, she has suffered low energy, due to a blood condition. She raised six children and did a good job, in spite of her low energy levels.
She's in her late eighties and how she has managed to keep going on such low levels is beyind me. She doesn't ask for much and she is genuinely surprised if anyone does anything for her. So has anyone got a magic wand to lend, so I could wave it over her head and have her enjoy energetic filled days and nights to come for as long as she can?
Thanks for the question.
I would give my mother satisfaction and congratulations. I would let her know that she did a good job, that her mothering was purposeful and that the life lessons she taught me, through word and deed, I have passed on to my own children.
I'd give her the ability to come back for a week and spend it with my brother, so she could see the answers to the prayers she prayed for him and his family. We lost mom eight years ago, but it was only last Christmas I saw what I wish my mom could have seen -- a happy functional family enjoying their guests and being good hosts. It hadn't happened that way in many,many, years.
My answer lies in my latest hub dedicated to my mother for this Mother's Day. hubpages.com/hub/20-Great-Ideas-to-Celebrat.
If I could give anything to my Mom on Mothers Day I would choose a personalized gift, something which I would have personally made for her with my own hands. I am good at crafts and painting so that woould not be a problem. I would also appologize to her for my wrong doings and misbehavior and promise her to be a good daughter always.
I would give my mother financial freedom. She is not as mobile as she used to be so I would also get her a 24 hour caregiver and basically whatever else she needs to let her live the remaining years of her life carefree and in peace.
I would like to give something of her choice. I will choose one from hubpages.com/hub/unique-gift-electric-tea-k as she loves to have a good cup of tea any time.
If I would give my mother anything for Mother's Day. It would be me. All mothers want to know that they are still loved and cared about.
You can go out a buy something that she likes. After a while it just gets packed away. I would give my mother memories that will stay with her forever.
Memories can't be packed away and forgotten. So think of something that you can do to make her Mother's Day special. Even if it’s outside for a walk getting to know each other more then what you do now.
Ask her what dreams and goals she has in life. Maybe you can help her make her goals. A friendly face and kind words makes the world go around.
I would also tell her how special she is to me and why. So before you go out and buy something. Think with your heart.
Don’t forget to let her know how much you love her. Mother’s do so much and the greatest enjoyment is to see their children smile.
If finances didn't matter I'd buy her a house. In my present situation I find that spending time together, even in the most mundane situation, is what she wants most.
I would give her happiness. She has everything she could want but still isn't happy. I wish I knew where her unhappiness stemmed from...
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
