how can i ever repay her?
Today i got a call from a good friend. She is the mother of one of my best friends but he passed away 2 years ago. I have always been really close to his mom and she's always treated me like a daughter since she has 4 sons. She asked Serg and I to come over bc she had a surprise for us. She bought us our dresser combo for Gio's room. I was basically floored and told her she didn't have to do that and we really couldn't accept such a generous gift, but she insisted bc she had been saving since i told her i was pregnant and it was something she really wanted to do.
I am so thankful and gracious but I feel so guilty! I hate accepting gifts like that. I dont know how to repay her! I almost want to go over there one day and leave half of the cost of the dresser on her kitchen table.
Re: how can i ever repay her?
That is a very nice and generous gift.
If I were you, I would not reimburse her. I would write he a very thoughtful and heartfelt thank you note and when Gio gets here, I would make sure to make her an "honorary aunt or grammie" or something. Since her son passed away, I would think that would be meaningful to her.
Enjoy your furniture!!
i 100% agree with elisa.
wow. that was SO thoughtful.
Awww that was so sweet. I agree with Elise!
Heartfelt thank you and bring her a home cooked dinner
That's how my mom taught me to do when you really appreciate someone or when someone needs a little cheering up.
I usually make a roast or something easy with sides and a small dessert

She doesn't want your money - she wants to be a part of your life. I would write her a nice thank you note and just make an effort to keep her as part of your life.
That's so generous and thoughtful of her!
