Spoiling our parents

[Emmsmom]

You must be joking! But then again you already know my reasons.

Now if I had a loving parent then yeah I would do what Icould to help out.

There's absolutely nothing I wouldn't do for my parents! Each morning, I get up an hour early so I can go by their house and "check" on them. Daddy is 76 and Mama is 71. They are both retired. They worked all their lives and my mother worked 2 jobs while Daddy was recuperating from cancer surgery years ago. I can truly say that I have wonderful parents. When I pull up each morning, Daddy is outside waiting for me and he kisses me on the cheek.

When we go inside, Mama is just getting up and Daddy does the same thing EVERY morning. "Looka there Kim - just look at her! Ain't she beautiful" and then he breaks into "Here she comes - Miss America" He whispers, because he had throat cancer.

Now is that love or what?

I don't have the greatest relationship with my mom, but I always try to do special things for her for Christmas and her birthdays. Last year for Christmas I got my brothers and step dad to go in with me and we all chipped in to buy mom a mother's ring.

This year I gave them a joint gift of a brand new bedspread set complete with matching pillow shams.

I love my mom dearly, and if she needs anything, My sister and i will find a way to get it for her, so we try to spoil our mom when we can.

Unfortunately I don't have a mom any longer either. But I do have a DAD and I do what I can for him.

My Mom died when she was 56. She was sick all of my life, and, truthfully, she was verbally and emotionally abusive. I loved her and seemed to understand that she was always frightened because she was so sick. That's what was behind the abuse. I thought that if she took it out on me, it would leave her, and she would be happier.

I certainly spoiled her until I was a teenager and couldn't take it anymore, only because I never could take the fear and anger away from her. In other words, it didn't work. I also needed to get away from her abuse - it did do damage to me! So, I moved out when I was 19.

I feel very bad for the young child I was who tried so hard to help my mother and who was abused, but I don't regret "spoiling" her. I only regret that it didn't work.
