The perfect gift

The perfect gift

Today I have to get a present for my mom. I don’t have a lot of time left because her birthday is in two days. I’ve been thinking about what I want to get her but I just cant think of anything that she wants. When I asked her what she wanted she just smiles and says. “Oh you don’t have to get me anything.” But I want to make her happy and feel special on her birthday. As I lay here and continue to think, I ask myself what a mother would like. After school I rushed to the store to buy her some pretty yellow and red roses, which are her favorite. At the time I thought it would put a smile on her face but than I realize, she always gets flowers. On my way home from school I try to think of something else but her birthday is tomorrow. I’m running out of time. I started to panic. I just want her to know how much I love her and how I want this day to be special for her. All I’ve gotten so far is flowers. “What am I going to do?” I thought to myself. I couldn’t think of anything. I sat there and thought. Finally, I decided to write her a letter telling her how much she means to me and how I appreciate the things she has done for me. I tell her I’m lucky to have a mom and best friend like her. I finished and I thought to myself “ You’re out of time.” Hopefully she would like this. The next morning I gave her the flowers and the note she started to read it and busted into tears. She told me it was a perfect gift.
