I am having that similar dilemna as well Ribs!
I just bought her a nice new ring to replace one she lost that reminded her of her mother because her mom gave her the money to buy it.. It's disappeared somewhere.
So after five years of tearing the house apart I looked very long to find a reputable jeweler to make the ring she lost in the same shape and pattern only with real diamonds .
I did this because she really did take good care of me after surgery..
Now that Mother's Day is upon us, I am at a loss as to what I could get her besides a Hallmark card. MAybe some Flowers..
It's the easy way out and I don;t have to put much effort into it... lol!!!!
