If anyone bought you a gift right now, what would you want it to be?

Some time and money to take my grandmother and my kids on a vacation. She's the matriarch of our family and still works two jobs just to be able to keep herself going and help other members of our family when they need it. My kids and I have been going through a hard time due to my SO not being able to hold down a job for the last year or so. They are the ones that suffer when we can't do "the fun stuff" and when they don't understand why I am working so much to make ends meet. :-/

Despite the fact that there are members of my and our family constantly going to people with their hands out, I have a mentality to stand on our own and support others when we can. I work hard to keep us afloat. Sometimes it gets under my skin when people know we're struggling but don't want to further a burden on our family, but then they'll offer thousands of dollars to other people who are choosing to live beyond their means and seem to just expect people to bail them out.

I've never really spoken about that aloud to anyone, it feels pretty nice to let it out, actually.
