Easy, Honest Way to Show Parents, “I see you. I care."
A Way to Honor Insight
You and your parent receive an engaging story that is six minutes long by email each week.
It may be about an aging topic you haven't previously discussed with your mom or dad.
It's your opportunity to tap and recognize your parent's wisdom and insight.
A Conversation Starter
Each uplifting story offers a discussion question about a successful aging topic.
Use that prompt for phone calls, emails or visits, helping you easily share personal memories in a relaxed, loving way -- even though, at first, you may not know what to say.
A Consistent Reminder of your Love
Go beyond a one-time, temporary gift. Instead, provide lasting reassurance for your parents.
Send weekly reminders that say, "I'm thinking of you" and "I understand you," strengthening your bond, regardless of the travel distance between you, all year long.
You feel "seen." Your parent feels "seen." You're a gentle companion for Mom and Dad.
