Why were you inspired to do this?

I have never been able to do something big for my mom. She has always been there when I needed her and I just don't feel like I can tell her enough how much she means to me and how grateful I am that she was there when I needed her the most. Now that I have a good paying job and my life has simmered down to being calm it's time I tell her thank you! Thank you for being the mom that everyone girl ever dreamed of having. Thank you for being there when it felt like my life was worthless and there was no way out of the darkness.

What were 3 things you did to make this happen?

Saved money.....and getting a better paying job helped!!!

Got my brother to go in 1/2 with me

Had to come up with a plan to get her to take the time off of work without telling her about surprise.

How did you feel once you had accomplished this?

It felt great! We all walked away with a lot of memories was can share for a life time!

The journey was completed on May 2, 2009. My brother and I celebrated my mom's 60th birthday by taking her on a 4 day cruise.

She was overly excited when she opened up her gift and was presented with a coupon telling her about her birthday surprise. I was almost in tears. It was the best experience I could have had. Memories was can all share for years to come:)
