They don't want to do/pay for anything. They will do something if they think our mother will throw a fit -if I strong arm them into it.  Did I mention I am the only girl? [/quote]

Then, good news! You get to decide. I do think you should do SOMETHING, but not more than you can really handle or afford.

This could range from having all the kids and grandkids record something nice on video that you put together into a show (free, no one travels, only time and coordination on your part), to throwing a huge catered party that costs thousands and getting everyone to fly in.

In between is figuring out if a family gathering of any kind is possible, or making a large-ish donation to their church or another cause in their honor, or buying a gift you think they'd like.

Your mom likes a fuss made over her -- how much tolerance do you have for making that fuss? How much money would you be able to collect among the four of you if you wanted to spend money on something?[/quote]
