Best Son Ever

(reddit) Today was my Birthday. I decided to pay off my Mother's mortgage.

My mother is a biology teacher and all my life she's shown me how fascinating the natural world is. It's become a real interest for me and shapes the way I live my life. When I got married my wife and I went to kenya on safari and saw some of the most beautiful and incredible wildlife. I remembered seeing lions and elephants in the zoo with my mother telling me all about them, to see them for real in the wild was mind blowing. I vividly remember how much my mother would love to see Africa. She could make the creepy crawlies under a rotting log fascinating, I just thought how wonderful lions, leopards and so on would be for her.

She's worked hard all her life and provided very well for my brother and I, we had a great upbringing and great opportunities but they never left enough for themselves. So last year my wife and I took her to Zambia. Highlight of the trip was tracking a lioness on foot and getting to within about fifty yards of it. Being able to share the experience with her was awesome. We're lucky enough to be able to afford it and it's the best money I've ever, ever spent.

If you can, you really should spoil your mother. They deserve it

Getting very close to providing the care for my folks they expect and deserve-In their own home with immediate family-My mother cared for both her grandmothers and mother when they could no longer do for themselves. 10 years or so and we shall take up that same torch....

The accountant in me says -- you saved for years? Why didn't you pay down her mortgage instead of putting it in the bank?

It isn't just Ethopian mothers who are Dramatic.

And. She seems like an amazing woman. And. It looks like maybe he grew up a bit. So for all the kvetching -- Good on him.
