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.

My mum would take me out shopping once every while and she would encourage me to buy whatever I want,never spending anything on herself. She would also take me to do facial therapies with her and generally tried to install in me the importance of taking care of yourself and being financially independent to do be able to do those things for you,without having to have the approval or "allowance" of a partner. My dad would function on 3/4 hours of sleep every night due to the nature of his job,sometimes working for 16 hours straight. He would still cook homemade food for us and bring food to my mum's workplace on her breaks ,take us to all of our activities outside of school and just generally always worked very hard and it pushed us to do so too
