"Parents..."

Now I know this is a painful topic for those of you who have lost a parent - or both. Or perhaps you never knew your parents, or are estranged from them for various reasons. Since I can’t speak to all situations in this limited space, this message today is for those of you who are fortunate enough to still have one or both of your parents still living: Make today the day you let them know how much you have appreciated them in your life. Pick up the phone or stop by to see them, and let them know you are thankful for their guidance and love. Do it today before time runs out! You will feel better, and they will be thrilled because hearing words of love, affection and appreciation is one thing that never gets old!
