My mother died decades ago , but I still remember her and her sacrifices when my sister and I were growing up. But as I approach age 83 and increasingly frequently learn of the deaths of those who had helped me, befriended me or were just close family members, friends or associates - I would like to broaden this request to let your mothers know how much they mean to you to extend the same outreach to everyone and anyone who you want to tell them how thankful you are that they have been a part of your lives. Attending my 65th HS reunion a year ago I was disappointed although not surprised at how sparse the attendance was. There were several individuals I realized had died recently and with whom I regretted not reestablishing contact. ( Staying in touch 65 years ago was obviously not facilitated by the internet or FB. ) So in the past year I have been making a concentrated effort to make a list of everyone who I cared about or loved, , once considered a friend, who helped mentor or guide me or who I admired but never told them. Unfortunately, many are now dead but hopefully still aware of my thoughts . So, don’t wait until it is too late to reach out with love, friendship and/or thanks and appreciation.

Happy Mother's Day to all. Looking at everything I've ever done, being a Mom is by far the most rewarding thing I have or ever will do with my life. Very blessed today.
