If my mom were here today I wouldn't do too much differently than I ever did on Mother's Day but I would do the things I did more intently and with greater deliberateness and add some things:

 

I would call her earlier instead of on my way home from somewhere as an afterthough...

    Dan,

     

    What a powerful list. My mom died in 2004, and just reading this list brought tears to my eyes. It is sad that we don't know what we have in a parent until they are gone. I would love to thank my mom much the way you did. A hug, especially, would feel great.

     

    Thank you for a wonderful reminder of a special woman.

    Many thanks for your kind comment.  If you get a chance, share what I am writing and talking about with your networkof folks.  We don't capture names on this site and sell to them.  I created this as a tribute to my parents, especially my father.  It's full of great stuff.

    We are going to launch the Parent Care Channel in September on the site.

    Best to you and yours.

    Dan
