There’s a difference between Sad/cry and Happy/cry. A note from a child saying how much they recognize what a parent has done for them and how much they love them is a Happy/Cry. I’d be thrilled with one of those letters…and I’d probably cry every time I read it.

Or…tell your mom you’d like to spend “X” hours with her doing something she’d like. Maybe it would be making a meal together, or going on a picnic, or having your nails done together, or going on a hike. Let Mom choose…and try to have both of you turn off cell phones and other outside distractions. Just enjoy each other’s company.

Most of us…even of modest means…have more “stuff” than we need. But, I’ve never heard anyone say they have too many warm and fond memories.
