Spoiling our parents

[Tink]

With the thread about giving our kids too much, I began to wonder if anyone but me spoils their parents?

My Mom is on a low fixed income. She scrapes to get by and loves to be able to give gifts at Christmas like the rest of us do, but she really doesn't have the cash to do it. I have been sending her money each month to help ease her financial situation so she was able to buy small gifts for everyone which made her very happy. I had also bought her a gift as usual.

Then I learned that her vacuum cleaner took it's last breath and she's been borrowing one to do her cleaning. So today I went and bought her a vacuum cleaner that I will also wrap up for Christmas.

I appreciate all she's done for me, so enjoy giving back now that I'm able. I seriously think she deserves it and love seeing the joy and surprise on her face when I do these little things for her. Is anyone else "spoiling" their parents? I think those of us lucky enough to have had good ones can do a lot to help let them know it did matter to us.
