I can't just buy something to give to someone. It has to be the right thing. I gave many things to my mother over the years because I knew her so well. I had a friend that I knew well too and could easily find gifts for her. The last gift I bought her was some sweet peas (flowers) growing in a pot because we both knew she would not be around the next year when they would bloom in the spring. She passed away from cancer. <br />Janet in MaineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086092172497469041.post-7655017062222244062010-12-16T10:45:07.045-05:002010-12-16T10:45:07.045-05:00the gift of time... i wrote in my blog after thank...the gift of time... i wrote in my blog after thanksgiving about a sweet friend who struggles to make ends meet. although she has a wonderful job working with my sister and father in their dental office, she has a deadbeat husband who has not worked in years. (long story -she left him -got on a plane - had never flown before- my sister purch her the tkt - he found her -she went back etc...) the years of mental and probably physical abuse unknown but she must be one of the sweetest women we have ever met in our lives. <br /><br />we asked her to make a list of things she needed and wanted. we took her to walmart - she was SO excited... list in hand, shaking and sweating with anticipation ... we checked off items on the list from simple baking items to pans to toilet paper etc...<br />she wanted a simple set of drinking glasses... <br />we finished up and she just hugged us sobbing and would not let go...we went to the parking lot and up drives her husband. old car, he did not even get out to greet us ... we drove away and all i can say is... it humbled me to NO END. we did it for her but in the end, it was a HUGE eye opener for us. NEVER again will i take things for granted. <br /><br />sorry for the rambling... but it truly changed our lives forever... we are so blessed. <br /><br />and we will forever watch out and take care of linda and her children.red tickinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09400289072356876224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086092172497469041.post-86234739417011398152010-12-16T09:59:30.250-05:002010-12-16T09:59:30.250-05:00Love these photos!
