Describe the best gift you (as a mom) ever received or gave to your mother:
A beautiful climbing rose bush that I had always wanted.

What made this gift extra-special?
What made the gift extra-special for me was that my 4 children thought long and hard about what would make me the happiest. They pooled their money and bought this climbing rose bush that I always wanted, along with a card that said when they get their own homes, they want to have me make cuttings from the bush to start in their yard so they can always feel I am close by. (I love gardening and flowers, especially roses.)
