In 2019, my folks are reaching two awesome milestones! They are celebrating their 50th anniversary in May and in July my Mom is turning 70!
First - please know, that my parents would literally kill me if they knew I was doing this....so PLEASE do not say a word. There is a good chance they will kill me afterwards....but I'm going with "ask forgiveness rather than permission".
I had a 70th surprise party for my Dad a couple years back, which was SUPER....but my Mom has already forbid me for doing that for her. She's definitely not the type to want attention on her!
My parents are always doing for everyone else and rarely if ever do they do for themselves. They are beyond kind and generous with their funds, time and love especially with Shelby and I...and also with my brother AJ, his wife Mel and their three kids, Emma Jean, Sully and Winnie. Both my parents are always there for everyone else. They took my Grandma and Aunt Sandra in to live with us years ago after my Grandfather passed. My Mom retired the moment I got pregnant with Shelby so she could help us out by watching her. They were always there for my Memere and my Aunt Frances....and anyone else who needs a hand up. They give even when they don't have it to give. The true meaning of generosity.
I want to do something special for them. They have a couple trips they've been talking about and I would love nothing more than to raise the funds...to send them on a trip. I would plan it out myself...so they couldn't say no!
This is a NO PRESSURE scenario...if you are not interested or would rather do your own thing....NO PROBLEM. However, I know many of their family and friends will likely plan on giving them gift cards to restaurants and movies and the like for their special day(s)....so I what I'm suggesting is that instead we pool together whatever you might have given them anyway to this spot....and I will collect the funds to plan a wonderful trip....THAT I KNOW THEY WOULD NEVER DO FOR THEMSELVES. I will also contribute of course....whatever money I might have spent on a surprise party will go here!
Again, no pressure....if you wanted to do something for their 50th or my Mom's 70th and wasn't sure what to do....this might be just the thing! :)
I will make sure to note on an enormous card everyone who contributed...or if I have the wherewithal, perhaps I can get everyone to sign it.
You can either contribute here on this go fund me page....or send me a check (you'd have to make it payable to me). I will pool all money together by May 1st...then hopefully be able to spring a surprise on them in mid May before their 50th Anniversary arrives!
Thank you so much!
Love,
Christy
