I know some label Mother's Day a "Hallmark Holiday" (does anyone know the first such holiday?), but as the years go by the day becomes more and more poignant to me. 

On Sunday I posted the above beautiful photo of my mom on fredslist saying "Happy Mother's Day mom.  I miss you!"

Oh how I wish she was still here and how well I remember her constant admonitions to be a "Good Boy Freddy".

If your parents are still here take the time to treasure them. Tell them you love them and how much you appreciate their bringing you up and ask the questions I can no longer ask.  Tell them you love them again and give them the opportunity to tell you how proud they are of you and that they love you too.
