Did the doctor call and tell you that mom and dad are aging and they need your help? Did he also mention, they need to be closer to family and he doesn't want them driving anymore? He probably just confirmed what you already knew.
And, more than likely at this moment, devoted friends and neighbors are helping mom and dad maintain their way of life. And as you begin the process of moving them home with you, it's also a time to say thank you for all the kind deeds the neighbors have done.
A gourmet basket is a thoughtful expression of your family's appreciation. The specialty gourmet goodies, lusciously displays your family's respect for trusted friends and their caring ways. It accomplishes the feat of ensuring they feel as special, as they are in your family's eyes.
My husband and I just brought my parents home to be with us. It seems everyday, I hear of another couple bringing mom and dad home with them. And there's always a loyal neighbor or two in the background, helping them stay at home...for as long as possible.
A gourmet basket gives you that extra special touch of neighborly love and praise for a friend's thoughtfulness. Loyal friends are priceless and don't just happen by. Friendships are built through years of sharing in trials, tribulations and joys.
Now, it's time for neighborly friends to stay in touch with occasional phone calls, notes and all occasion gift baskets. Mom can continue to build on her friendships with birthday wishes, holiday cheer and to say, “I miss you and home.”
You may have come face to face, with a parent's anger and loss, for having taken them away from a way of life that took a lifetime to build. And what worse, is the fact that some forget what home looks like or even that there was another way of life.
Here's a thoughtful gift idea that helps them remember their friends and past: create a collage of pictures from home.
My dad doesn't remember my brother. So, mom and I added his favorite photos of my brother and his family to a picture frame. Each picture represents a moment in time, that was important to both my mom and dad. And it does help bring back memories, while adding a sparkle to dad's eyes.
When you want a special way of expressing your appreciation, a gourmet basket does it with good taste and style. It's amazing how loyalty and neighborly love...makes friendships lasts a lifetime.
