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.

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.

Slotmonster,
The responses to your question has been great. So many great ideas. Talk about a lot of creative, caring members.
Well, I would like to give my thought on this too.
About 7 years ago when my parents were approaching their 80's, I decided to write them a letter. I just wanted to put in writing what wonderful parents they had been throughout my lifetime. I gave them each a copy of the letter. My mother I recall, put it in her top dresser drawer with her most personal pocessions. My father did the same, and cried when he read it. ( He's a softie, and a compassionate man.)
I feel that any monetary gift you could give them cannot equal the words of appreciation you can give them.
When my mother passed in 2005, I made sure her letter went with her.
So if you want to give them a gift they will remember, this is one idea.
Also, congrats on all of your wins. you sound like a fine gentleman...and son.

If you don't go the video phone route, consider getting you and your parents a camcorder. That way if you can't see them as often as you wish, you guys can at least trade each other's homemade DVD's/Tapes

There's some pretty cool digital ones out there, including some models that will allow you to record straight to DVD....so if they're not computer literate enough to copy the video from the camcorder to their computer then burn it to DVD, it's ok. As far as price, you're only looking at around $500 for a higher-end model.

those were all wonderful suggestions! and thank you slotmonster for starting this thread as i am sure it got a lot of us thinking on the subject as well.

One thing to look at too is if they're paying rent/condo fees/mortgage and on a slim/fixed income, you could pay those fees for them for say 6 months or whatever I'm sure they'd appreciate that as well.

Hey slot,i say you just give yourself a vacation and at the same time you go on a trip back to the motherland(Belarus for you) and bring a few things that you know they can't get over there with you and the joy they will get from you showing up unanounced would be in the most extreme i believe....

 

[SlotMonster]

Yeah, I know I'm bumping very old thread, but I promised to tell you - and I'll do that Just was searching some info in my profile and ran into this one.

Well, I made full renovation of my parents' house, bought new furniture and domestic appliances. I also bought several tools for my mom's garden. And yes, I bought them large screen TV

It took a bit more than 10k I was ready to spend, but of course I just didn't care about that...

I read the thread now and this was a nice story. I guess that they were really satisfied with these gifts. The renovation of the house can't have been cheap.
