I don't know if you have children or not but what you did for your mom was more than just giving her a house. You showed her that what she did for you and your grandmother was worth every hardship. She knows she raised a wonderful daughter and that, in itself, is a gift.
Today I paid off the mortgage on my house in Mississippi and gave it to my mom. It's hers now and paid for. She cried buckets.
Thank you all for making that possible.
