| My stepdad recently received a gift from his mother. Using the money, he bought my brother and I new watches and Dell Inspiron notebooks with 15" screens and a DVD / CD-RW drive. They also have Wireless cards for Internet. Am I lucky or what? I am SOOOOOO grateful to have such generous parents. Enought about my fortune, though. What is the nicest thing your parents have ever done for you? |

Welcomed me back home with open arms and great compassion/understanding when I fell on hard times due to health problems a few years ago.
They are fantastic.

My parents FORCED ME to learn to play a musical instrument (the SAXOPHONE Johan Cruijff says: "Als je niet schiet, dan ken je niet scoren" Joren van Ree says: "Als je niet blaast, dan ken je niks horen" |
). And I'm still very grateful that they did, because it turned out I was pretty good at it, contrary to what everybody was expecting...Posted By: Reed Lover

I understand the Cruyff quote-"if I dont shoot I cant score" but Yours,not sure......."If I dont blast-then I wont be heard"????? I could "babel" it but it probably wont make any sense.. -------------

I did a degree in French (and English) Literature and have qualifications in German and Latin. I cant really speak any of them now,but I can usually guess at the translation of most European languages. I can usually just about get by in American,though..

| The nicest thing my mom ever did for me was keeping me fed and under a roof after my parents got divorced and my father stole all our money and kept the house. I blame the booze and cocaine, my father and I get along now but out relationship will never be the same. |

Except for a few, we all sound pretty blessed / fortunate. |
