| Linda,
Be there for him when he needs it, that's the best thanks you can give him!!

| Yup! I've already told him that no matter what I'd always be there for
him. I don't wish that he'll ever need me and he probably never will
but until he does I must find a way to say thank you.
Being there for him when/if he ever needs me is a given.

| To me, that's the ultimate thank you. There are, of course other ways
you can thank someone...a lovely romantic weekend away with you
catering totally to him (if this is a romantic relationship), a
beautiful piece of gold jewelry that will last forever and remind him of
your appreciation every time he looks at it, a gift certificate to
his favorite store, a gift certificate for a massage/facial/pamper
session, a home cooked meal of his favorite foods, a donation made
to his favorite charity in his name.
Just a few suggestions to get things rolling here!

| hmm... A friend of mine has been VERY supportive to me during this
pregnancy, especially financially. She doesn't want anything in
return, but what I did was made up a nice basket with all my own home
made jams and jellies, and a home made banana bread, and gave it to her
with a thank you card. I'm also thinking of surprising her and taking
her out to dinner. Might be an option for you? Maybe show up at his
house and say "let's go, we're going out to dinner". Or make
arrangements for you to meet him for dinner, and slip away just before
the bill is brought to the table and talk to the waitress and pay her
without him even seeing the bill??

| Holls...
IMHO, I think the "homemade" gift-type idea is the best thing
going! I think it means so much more to someone if the person giving
put forth that little extra effort to make something uniquely for them
that no one else could purchase. However, if he's helped her through an
intensely tough time perhaps something more permenant would be in order
that's pertinant to their level of friendship such as, say, something
crocheted, painted, crafted, etc, that'll last for as long as he's
willing to keep it. I think that'll also re-enforce her committment to
him to be there for him if he should ever need her as well. I know that
a lot of things people have given me in the past have helped me through
some particularly rough times in my life - or even just the memories of
the gift(s).
Just my humble opinion, though! Take it for what it's worth!!!

| Unfortunately, not everyone is "crafty", and can make something like
that. Personally, I have some crafts I can do, but nothing that I'd
really want to give as a momentous gift.
So.. Linda, if you're not crafty (BTW, Hi there!! How's the
kitties??), something store bought might be nice. Maybe a figurine or
something you know he collects?
