Every day she is here, she is a gift to both my mother and me, and we give her birthday and christmas gifts, and i celebrate the anniversary of when she first came to us with a cake and $100. I save up for that every year, and it never fails to surprise her.

May the lord's blessings shower upon you, the caregiver, and your mother.

Judy wrote: I can't wait to hear what her reaction is when you present her with the gift. Money can be "evil" sometimes, or at least the love and lust of it, but when it provides a family with necessities and sometimes an expression of love then it is powerful. What a pleasant story for the season. Both sides--her kindesses and your appreciation. Blessings to you both.

Mom- i exist because i hope must be can be your caregiver someday. My soul lies next to yours for eternity. "
