A $50 gift card to Picadilly (she loves that place), a card and a damned fine bouquet of flowers.

Took her to fleet feet so they could do a scan of her feet and get her some shoes that won’t cause her pain. Now she can mall walk in style and comfort

My mom had a list - and I got it all except the brake tag

She wanted stamps, car sun shades, a plant moisture meter, and a case of Evamor water

I am giving her the option of a cartoon of cigarettes or cooking a Jambalaya...my guess is she will take the Jambalaya option because I told her I was NEVER cooking Jambalaya again!

Just a card. Normally I get her a hanging basket, but with her dementia she wouldn’t notice it.

A really nice throw blanket or whatever you call it. Only problem is I've been in bed sick all weekend and can't visit her today

People say this, but you don’t know everyone’s story or what they have been though with parents.

Those of you that have awesome relationships with parents should count your blessings, not everyone is that lucky


This.
I understand the sentiment because I miss my grandparents terribly but my parents chose to be horrible people and not to have that close relationship with me.

She asked for a fish fry. So I'm frying jalapeno hushpuppies, and a sh*t ton of fish.

Got her a puzzle of one of our family pictures (she loves puzzles)

Also took her and my MIL to her favorite Japanese steakhouse for lunch and now we’re at the At&T store upgrading her to the latest iPhone and iPad.

My mom got a new car a week ago and wanted weathertech mats for it, so that’s what she got from us.

Flowers, new plants for a flower bed she is reworking, and a Netflix subscription. Cooked her requested dinner last night, and the family ate at her house.

I forgot it Mother’s Day…didn’t get a gift for her, other plans got in the way..

Every Mother’s Day needs a mothers night…

If loving her is wrong I don’t want to be right..

The choice there ain’t no other so be mother lover!!

Gold dipped rose from Stephen Singer. I highly recommend them - mom loves em and they look fantastic all year long. She has a full bouquet of different colors.
