This forum has been an enormous outlet for me over the past year. My parents, 85yo, married 65 years, were declining 1 1/2 year ago. My brother, only one of the 4 children living close to them, quit his job, and moved them in with him. Mom was insulin dependent.
They have both passed. The other sibs and I would like to get him a gift for doing this and wondered if anyone has any ideas. He likes the shooting range and used to fish in Florida gulf. I am in process of making a book for him of photos.
I appreciate any suggestions. And any thoughts on what NOT to get him are welcome.
A getaway is good also. A couple nights lodging, a guided fishing trip, possibly offshore depending on how extravagant you wanted to get.
Depending on how much time has passed since your last parent has passed he may just need to rest before he is able to enjoy a getaway.
Anything showing your siblings appreciation I am sure would be greatly appreciated.
It is very thoughtful of you and your siblings to want to show your appreciation.
But all cynicism aside, I also agree that what you're doing for your brother is a lovely and thoughtful thing, Esposla. So if money won't say it... What's next for your brother? Looking ahead, has he talked about any plans he's made or hopes he has for the future? Something that would encourage and help him in moving forward would show he has the support of all three of you.
