I get that urge to call my parents still, even though its been many years since both passing
Talked to Mom yesterday. She is 94. I was supposed to go for a visit but I had a Covid shot scheduled. I will bring her some KFC for lunch instead.
I still have the urge to call my folks just to say HELLO & hear their voices. Dad's been gone 22 years & Mom 14 years.
Great reminder for all. Just called mine today...they just drove 1100 miles to Florida for some sunshine. Not bad for 88 yrs old!! But you never know what tomorrow may bring so make the call.
I wish I could talk to my parents.
My dad died way too young (I was 7 years old) and I never got to have meaningful conversations with him. I would have loved for him to teach me his fishing secrets and how to play golf.
My mom's been gone 31 years now.
I also wish my kids would put in more talk time than text time. They have no idea how much hearing their voices means to me.

She's fast. I'm half fast! LOLSure ya did
I try to call my folks every day. Dad is working on 92 and Mom on 86. Both still relatively healthy and living pretty much independently. My dad was cutting trees down last fall with a chain saw!!!
Enjoy your parents while you can. Dad passed 20 years ago at 62 and my Mom seems to be failing fast at 82.
I would sneak in ice cream even though I knew that the attendants would take it away when they found it. I did it on principle, it showed I cared.

I have an audio tape done on a reel to reel for mom and dad's 25th. They're both long gone. Dad would be 101 and mom 97 both on April 13th. I still well up when I hear their voices. Priceless!!

Reminds me of the time, a buddy and I went up to my farm, I have to drive past my grandpas house to get there, he was in his early 90's splitting firewood with a maul.
I stopped to help him stack his firewood, and asked him, there is a new log splitter sitting there, why are you not using it.
He replied his son, (my uncle) brought the log splitter over, and it was too slow, he could split the wood faster by hand.
He would cut the trees off his land, and haul them to his house, and cut them up for wood. He always kept a couple years of wood in his shed.
I guess you do not get old by sitting around doing nothing.

I have only completely broken down once in my 67 years. Many months after the passing of my mother, I decided it was time to take her out of the speed dial on our home phone. I felt as if I had betrayed her and completely lost it. My wife, saint that she is, gave me my space then added comfort when it was appropriate to do so. Bottom line is, MAKE THE CALL. You will never regret telling someone that you love them! Only if you don't!

My dad passed at the spritely young age of 63 (me, in a couple of months) and we never saw it coming. I wish I had voicemails I had saved just to hear his voice again...
I call mom (now mid-nineties) every couple of days even if I have nothing to say. Just to let her know I still care and am thinking of her.

Talked to my mom this morning 85 young. She is really doing good. Loves her John Deere lawn mower. Mows about 3 acres with it. Keeps up with this place. Dad passed a few years ago.
