I want to take my Mom's gift from her. Please read before judging..?

admin — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 16:51:05 +0000

I am sick and tired of this, I don't get it. Year after year, holiday after birthday, I spend all my hard work money on her for a nice gift and she honestly slaps it in my face. Not in a mean way but I'll go on her closet and find all the 0 spa certificates and stuff dusty and EXPIRED and never been used before. Well for Christmas I got her a nice spa massage thing and she honestly has not used and it probably won't. I want to take it from her and go use it because I am in a fight with her already and I think I have the right to. If no one is going to use it then I will. On top of that her birthday is tomorrow, i mean what the heck am i gonna get her? Probably nothing because It breaks my heart like how is nothing ever good enough? Even when my dad got her tiffany's, she never wears it but then if we get her nothing she is let down.
NO I MEAN LIKE TAKE IT AND USE THE MASSAGE AS MY OWN

Can you read my essay and give me some feedback? Just edit it, and possibly give some constructive criticism?

Here is the prompt if it matters:
1. Identify the person you want as your valentine. Indicate when, where and how you met. I chose my mom.
2. Describe how you would spend it. Justify activites.
3. Briefly discuss how it will impact you as a person and how it will enhance your relationship.

My essay:
Out of the three-hundred and sixty five days in a year, people have one day to show someone they love them by presenting them with materialistic gifts. Unfortunately, many people celebrate this pointless holiday and spend money on a typical box of chocolates and store bought cards dripping with sentiments. This holiday mostly benefits those greeting card companies and stores that sell chocolate. Do people really need to buy gifts and take their loved ones out to dinner to prove they love one another? If people stopped contributing to this commercialized holiday, they would realize that doing small things throughout the year and saying I love you would be enough. Even though Valentine’s Day is meant for couples, anyone who has a loved one should be able to celebrate too. After all it is a day about love, so why specify it to couples only. If I did celebrate Valentine’s Day, my mother would be my Valentine because she means the world to me and I know I would enjoy spending a day with her that will improve our mother-daughter relationship.

When someone asks who your Valentine is, most people would say “my boyfriend/girlfriend.” If one doesn’t have a girlfriend or boyfriend they engage in the practice of asking out their person of interest. In my case, Valentine’s Day would be a family holiday, not a romantic one. A word more important than love is thanks. A word many mothers don’t hear too often. This Valentine’s day, I want to not only show, but tell my mother how thankful I am for what she has done for me for eighteen years. She is my best friend and the nicest person I have known. The small things make me appreciate her even more. She deserves more than I can give her, that’s why this day will be a special day. A mother-daughter day rather than Valentine’s Day.

Our mother-daughter day would be simple and fun but special. Breakfast, the most important meal of the day, will be cooked and served by myself. The cliché breakfast in bed. I would serve her favorites; eggs, hummus, falafel, Manakish (dough topped with thyme), and a nice hot cup of tea. After breakfast we would take a nice walk in our favorite park in the cool, February morning air. We head back home to begin our favorite TV show marathons. Starting with The Little House on the Prairie, my mom’s favorite classic. Finishing with a Gilmore Girls marathon, a show about the perfect mother-daughter relationship. Later that evening we set off to dinner at our favorite restaurant called, Heider Baba. My mom loves it because it serves the best Middle Eastern food in Southern California. Stuffed bellies and smiles on our faces, we drive over to the Griffith Park Observatory, our favorite spot in all of L.A. In the chilly night air, we would watch the twinkling city lights outshine the stars.

Gazing at the stars made me realize that nothing lasts forever. It’s important not to take her for granted, because she won’t be here forever. Time fades, but my love for her won’t. Not only that but it would make me a better person. My mother is kind to anyone, whether or not they were kind to her. She never forgets, but she always forgives. My mother is my role model. If I grow up to resemble my mother, I truly am a successful person.

Emotional or not, this day is meant to express feelings of love, happiness and appreciation. Whether it’s to a boyfriend or girlfriend or a mother, father, brother or a best friend. It also gives people a chance to think about someone else for a day. So many of us, especially in today’s society, are caught up in our own lives. We sometimes forget the people around us. Valentine’s Day is a good reminder for people to think about someone other than their selves for a change. Not only is Valentine’s Day a day to show my mother how much I love her, but how thankful and grateful I am to have her as my mother. Thank her for the guidance and love she has given me that no one else would. More importantly, she gave me love and guidance without expecting anything in return.

My day with my mother would be simple, fun and different from any other day. Breakfast, the most important meal of the day, will be cooked and served by myself. The cliché “breakfast in bed”.

Such a wonderful day would make me realize how much I truly love my mother and how fragile our time together really is. Time fades, but our love won’t. I would appreciate my mother much more than before and not take her for granted.

Emotional or not, this day is meant to show someone’s feelings toward someone else. To a mother, father, brother or a best friend. It also gives them a chance to think about someone else for a chance. So many of us, especially in today’s society, are caught up in our own heads. We forget the people around us. Valentine’s Day helps people think about someone other than their selves for a change.
