Describe the best gift you (as a mom) ever received or gave to your mother:
I gave my mother a picture of myself sitting on her lap when I was little. When the picture was taken, we were both in a wedding. I was sitting on her lap, looking up at her, and she was looking down at me. I put this picture in an engraved frame and had "Mom, I still look up to you" inscribed on it. I was 25 when I gave her this picture. (I was about 3 or 4 years old when it was taken.)
What made this gift extra-special?
My mother had forgotten that this picture had been taken so long ago. She also had thought that with me being an adult, I didn't look up to her the way that I used to when I was a small child. This was just my special way of telling my mother how much I love her and still look up to her as an example in my life.
