Hey I have a better idea lol
Bring them here to Ct Or I'll just have to pick all of you up and I will be the tour guide for all of you.What a great little Vacation Mom,Dad & Son oh and me lol
Rent the bus for a week or two and show them around the best two casinos in the World.
And if they need care for any reason I'll do that too.

Thank you for proposal, BingoT, but they're living in the Republic of Belarus. And Belarus is at the other end of the earth It will be too hard for them to visit Ct, sorry.

And as a son of my parents I understand you, Sissy. I'm not telling about replace time with money or goods, I just want to give them something to remind that somewhere there is a loving son who always remember about them.

You sound like a sweetheart, I am more than certain they carry your love in their hearts as well as their pride in you. Good luck with whatever you decide hun!! And be proud of your choice because you are making it for all the right reasons.

Slot,,,, do this buddy...there are companies out there now that have been making Video Telephones for years now, call a local company in the general location where your parents live and have them go out and install one for them and you will also need to install one at your place too...this can be done at both locations for about the same price or less than what you would be paying for a big screen TV,, and this way when you call them or they call you, then you guys will be able to enjoy each others company as you will be looking at each other while you are also speaking to one another...get the ones with the satellite feed...

THAT Video phone was what I was thinking! This really touched my heart. I think about winning the MM 5mil and what I could do for my family & friends ALL the time.
You might just in casual conversation ask them what they would do if they won X amount of money. I was shocked when my mom said she would "buy a new oven and stove" I had no idea hers had been broken for months maybe longer! Parents dont like to burden thier kids with problems so they dont tell us. Maybe corner your dad and ask what he would do for your mom and then corner your mom and ask what she would do for your dad?

I hope you find the perfect gift, you are a good son! ANd CONGRATS on your win!!!

Damn Rob, you beat me to it although I am more for video mobile phones. Actually, I would think at least 1 in every 10 people in Hong Kong have these phones which have a lot of other functions like taking photos and they should be pretty cheap too.

Do what????

Buy them a cane, a walker, an earpiece and a casket? Hell no!

Send them to an all-inclusive resort like Sandals in Negril, Jamaica.

Or a cruise!

As a mother, I can tell you that money would NEVER buy the time I have with my children, and it cannot buy the memories of those precious moments we spend together.

I lost my mother last August, and sad but true, it happens to us all. I suggest to rearrange your schedule and MAKE time to give them 2 small days of your life. The joy it will bring them, money couldn't possibly buy. Just my thoughts.

Exactly what i would do. We spent a weekend recently with my parents doing nothing but looking at old pictures (hundreds) and reminiscing about our lives together. They have told me more than once since that it was the best weekend they have had in ages. Sissy is 100% right.

PS- u r a good son.

I would say get them a CAREGIVER. Someone to take care of them for you. 10k should last several months. a lot of caregivers here in the philippines heh heh.
But then the problem is you might have to win another 15 K to sustain the caregiver.
Imagine every single day that your folks see that help they are reminded of you. Whatever you do I am sure your folks will be deeply grateful.

If you need me to research places or pricing, Its on the house Slot, considering I know what its like to be far from your family
