Celebrating the Ones We Love

{Giveaway is Closed}

Winner is #91:  Anash

Sharing time with my family, especially my parents, at this time of my life is certainly sweet. I don’t take them for granted anymore and know that time is limited with them. The days will go by quickly, and the older I get and they get, I know I have to savor the moments when they come.

Paying tribute and honoring my parents is very important to me at this time of my life. I don’t plan to move very far from them at all, if I can help it, when I find another home of my own one day soon. We are bonded and we need each other.

Family is forever. I couldn’t have made it this past year without them.

My mom’s birthday and Mother’s Day are both in May, and Father’s Day and my dad’s birthday come around in June and July. Sharing family time with them is special. My mom and I have breakfast together every morning at the table, eating cereal and sipping coffee, each reading the paper, knowing the other is there. It’s very comforting.

My dad and I have enjoyable conversations about blogging and life. He is still my defender, my strong and capable dad, whom I’ve always looked up to.

Celebrating them and the time I have with them is very important to me right now, and I’m doing just that.

It makes me happy to see my mom smile from the bedroom and bathroom renovations we’ve been able to do these last few weeks. I’m overjoyed to do this for them, and it makes me happy that they are sharing in benefits and perks that come along. I enjoy spending time with them, getting their opinions, hearing wisdom shared day by day. So, how do we share and celebrate those people in our lives who are so important to us?

We savor and enjoy the everyday moments of life, letting them know how important they are to us.

How do you pay tribute to the people you love? Leave me a comment answering that question to be entered for a chance to win a $100 Starbucks card, courtesy of BlogHer.

    I keep pictures of loved ones in scrapbooks, and make scrapbooks for friends, who appreciate them and treasure them as time capsules of our experiences together.

    It’s the little things that really let them know we care. Picking up my dad’s favorite candy or my mom’s favorite scented candle when it wasn’t a special occasion let them know I was thinking about them all the time. Neither of them are still alive but no matter how long they are gone I will always remember their favorite things.
