Best gift you have given to your parents

one memorable day - This is my family picture. It's only our eldest sister who is not in the picture because she's now living in Las Vegas. Her son, Sean, is with us,the one weaering a green shirt. :) My family is cool and we have a close bonding with each other :)

I believe we have all given our parents gifts and presents since we were young. From those presents, what do you think was the best gift you've ever given them? As to my parents, when they turned 50 years old last year, my siblings and I prepared a surprised for party for them. Both of their birthday falls on February, so we decided to give them a birthday blast! Yes, it was a surprise party in a hotel. We invited their friends and some of our relatives. We planned everything. THey just thought we'll just be going to a party, not knowing that it's their own party! When they got inside the hotel, they were so surprised to know it was intended for them. My parents shed off their tears. During the program, we also sang them a song which was written by me.:) It was unforgettable. It's nice that once in a while you will show your parents your own way of letting them know how you are thankful for having them in your life.:)

Love is the best gift i've ever gave to my parents. Material thing is just nothing to them. Respect is also one thing that could make them happy.

I am not really into material things because I don't have enough money to be able to spend something that's so expensive. Maybe, I can be able to give them a monetary gift soon after I finish college and have a job of my own. But as of the moment, what I can just say is my being an obedient daughter is one best gift that I could ever give them. Yes, i am this obedient to them. But of course, there are times I don't follow their rules, but I do take their advices with me always. It's for my own good.

That is so refreshing to hear, that you are obedient to your parents! Such a rarity these days and a precious gem to them I am sure. I agree, it is a fantastic gift to give your parents, they must be very pleased with you.

For what I remember the best thing I've ever give is the poem I've written back when I was still in my grade school. My mom was just married to my stepfather and they move to my step dad province and I was left in my uncle's custody while finishing my elementary schooling. That time cellphone was a futuristic gadget to have one. So we communicated trough conventional mail. I was 11 years old back then when I learned that I can write a poem. Thus instead of just writing them about myself, I wrote a special poem dedicated to them to show how much I missed them. For me that was and still the best gift I've ever give to them cause its from my heart.

well besides having your own kids and making them grandparents, i think as they get older, the best thing you can give them is your time.

I imagine they would say the best gift I had ever given to them is grandchildren. They are such doting grandparents! I am not sure what I have given that would qualify as the best gifts, but perhaps it is Rosary's prayed for them.
