What is the sweetest thing you remember your mom doing for you?

We grew up with nothing. My mom earned but she tried to keep us afloat. A packet of chips and a canned soda was only visible at home when we had school trips because my mom didn't want us to feel left out when all the other kids ate.

Given how life was, my mom would bring home the food/snacks given to her at work during parties. She would give it to us because she felt bad we wouldn't be able to have them so she'd not consume it but bring it for us.

Another. My Dad was a Baptist preacher and we lived in the country. He wanted us to have an idea that there was a bigger world out there, even if he couldn't afford to show it to us.

Once every couple of months we would have an 'international dinner.' He would create his impression of a meal from a different country. Unfortunately, he had never experienced cuisine from other countries, so he winged it.

For example, our first taste of 'Mexican food' was baked beans wrapped in pancakes. This does not a burrito make.

But it was still sweet.

@Mamapolo2016 This is so precious. Probably one of my favorites from your family.
