My mother is 68 years old. I want her to be happy and treat her good while she is still alive. I lost my dad 5 years ago and didn't even had a chance to tell him how much I love him. So, I want my mom to know how much I love her while she is still here. She is now sick and had a heart problem and had a stroke last 2007. My mother is a very nice person. I am not really open to her and I don't know how to show her that I love her. Can anyone suggest me how to show my love for my mom? I am planning of going on a vacation with her together with my daughter.

Planning a vacation is such a good idea my friend. It is a great time for the two of you to bond. She is already old. Make her the most happiezt mother as much as possible my friend. Don't leave her until the last day of her life. I also love my mother so much. Our mother will always be mother no matter what.

You are welcome my friend. Good luck on your vacation. It is so perfect because it is summer already. I am sure your mom would be very happy about that. Take care! P.S. Don't forget to buy souvenirs.

A mother is a mother.Selfless love personified.I am glad to know that you love your mother.So do I,although my mother has left this world nearly six years back. I want to tell you one thing.You want to tell your mother that you love her too much.I think,you needn't tell that in words.The language of love is silence.It is just like sun that shines in the sky.It does not tell anybody that it exists.You don't need a torch to prove its existence.Similarly love does not need to be shown or proved.It is automatically demonstrated.I am sure,your mom knows fully well that you love her.Mother is the other name of love,and love knows itself.

Spend as much time as you can with her. Life is short, and you never know when it may end. It can never really hurt to spend as much time as you can with someone you love. You should also tell her how much you love, and how you feel about her. I think that she'll appreciate you telling her.

Yeah, moms deserve that. The fact that you're being there for your mom already makes her feel loved, I'm sure she appreciates the fact that you are exerting efforts to be with her. With the fast-paced life that we're in now, how many daughters (or children for that matter) these days take the time to spend at least a whole day with their parents, specially when they're old already and can't move about? I would love to that for my mom too, but she lives so far away from me so the least I can do is call her at least once a week to check how she is, and visit her every now and then. But this coming Holy Week (first week of April) my siblings are planning a reunion and we're gonna surprise my mom by throwing big gathering to honor her. Our way of showing gratitude for being a great mom to all of us.

lov has no definition. it is a gift for her to feel it...we can not prove that we lov some1. if u care for ur mother, m pretty sure she is aware abt it and must be really proud to have u as her daughter. u mentioned that ur mother had some medical issues, despite that if her health allows then u can for sure move around with her to make feel more privileged and live her life as queen.... respect u for ur gesture for ur mother....

Spend time with her. But don't over do it she may get defensive that your pitying her and only spending time with her because of the situation. Always remind her how much you love her and spend time doing things she loves to do.

Don’t be ashamed showing your love to your mom. You haven’t told your dad before how much you love him. Grab the opportunity now, don’t waste your time. Tell your mom how much you love her, comfort her every time she needs, and be there at her side always. Treat her special in so many ways. I’m sure your mom would be happy.

Thats sad to hear. I hope she gets well soon. My mom is already in her 60's and what I do is spend time with her. You can buy everything else in the world but time. So I suggest that you visit her a couple of times and have a chat with her or a watch a movie together. Form a bond with her again like when you were still a kid. I am sure that she will appreciate the company. The vacation idea is also a good way for you to show that you care. good luck. happy mylotting.
