My mom is a retired school teacher for that last year and was constantly telling me how bored she was. So one day I had heard about making a scrap book. She loves taking pictures and collecting things we have done when children so why not suggest it to her.
So what I did was a gave her one of my computers (my husband is a technician) and showed her how to search and write emails. She loved this idea . She constantly would send me emails every day. Sometimes 3 times a day.
Well it was Christmas day. I will never forget it either because it was the most memorable one that i have had. We arrived at her home as usual . We were taking our coats off and she said I have something I want you to open right now. So I sat down and proceeded to open what looked like a shape of a box. I couldn't believe what i saw. A beautifully made scrap book of all the things we have done as children, my kids have done as children, and some of the awards and other accomplishments my dad had done though out the years. (my dad had passed away 2 yrs b4) I just looked at her and started crying. I said mom this is the best gift anyone could of given me. We sat that day and went through everything and to this day I still have it.
