What would you give your mother?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Dwayne Wade of the Miami Heat helped his mother realize a lifelong dream by buying her a church in Chicago.
We hear stories all the time of successful children giving their parents special gifts as a way of thanking them.
What would you give your mother if you could?

What a great gift to give your mother just one of her dreams!! Personally, as a son, I wanted to make my mother proud of me as a son and her only son!! Thank God, I have done this!! Have a great day!!

To put her and everyone else out of untold misery, I prayed for her death…and got it. She was an evil, scheming, lying, jealous, hateful woman. She made Joan Crawford (Mommie Dearest) look like a saint. The torment she placed on all around her, it’s a wonder I’ve survived and thrived, despite her efforts to destroy me. And yes, I’m writing a book to encourage others.
I’m happy for all of you who had/have great, loving moms. Enjoy them and be blessed.

If my mother was still living, I would give her anything her heart desired.A new home, car,clothes,etc.. She raised me up to be the respectful man I am today. To treat people the way that you want to be treated. To Love unconditionally.

My parents had eight kids, and my Mom raised all of us, went to college at 40, got her Masters at 46, started her dual careers, and retired at 58. She is AWESOME! She is an activist, advocate, and angel. If I were rich, I would give her the BMW that she wants. They do not have debt. Their home was paid for over 25 years ago, no car payments, but she always wanted a BMW.
I’ll get it for her one day.

My husband would do anything for his mother (and believe me she’ll let him). Me, let’s just say I’d have a limit. I think you’ll notice men have a much stronger bond with their mothers than women have with theirs. Mothers and daughters seem to argue much more and basically make each other a little crazy, I know from experience with my mother and now my own daughter! I’d probably just find a nice church for my mom to attend…

Unfortunately, my mother died at the tender age of 57 and when I was only 21 years old from a terminal illness. She was the best mom that I feel anyone could have had. If she was alive today I would give her anything that her little heart desire. I know that each of my 4 siblings would do the same.

My Mother was a twin born on Christmas Day, 6 minutes younger than her sister. She was, and still is, the most loving, caring, giving person, I have ever known, and will ever know, in my life. I’m honored to be one of her 4 sons. I would give her whatever makes her happiest in life and I hope you some degree that I have. I know she’s happy living in Heaven with my wonderful Dad.
