This is a story about my mom who gave up her family for her family. I'm writing this because I want as many people to know what a great mom she is. 
Dad was in the Army and stationed in Germany when he met mom. They fell in love and got married and then I came along. (Yeah I was a military brat)
After dads service was up we bought a house and moved back to dads hometown in Georgia. On our plane trip over my Grandmother passed away. My mom was devestated. A couple months later my mom was having a rough time here, so she and I flew back to Germany. Dad had to take care of a few things and came a month later. We lived there for the next few years and then my sister came along.
They decided to move back to Georgia when I was 5. Mom basically had to start a new life. She left what she knew and come to a place that she didn't know. I'm not gonna lie, it was hard for her. She is the the most sweetest person, but people don't understand her. She looks at things different than most. A trait that I hope I have.
About 8 years ago we recieved a call that my Grandfather had passed away. Not long after, another call that they were gonna dig up my Grandmother because her time was up. In Germany you have to rent grave sites I guess you could say. If I'm not mistaken it's somthing like $1,000 a year with a 20 year minimum. Nobody had that kind of money. She was devestated once more.
This is just a ripple in a glass of water compared to the ocean on what she has been through. I'm very blessed to have a mother like that. She would give up her life for her kids and she did that very thing.
I want to send them on vacation to Germany for a week, maybe in the next year. I want to surprise them with it, so my question to you is this. Can I get a passport for them without them knowing??
Thanks for taking the time to read this......
