My Story

During an annual visit with mom, I asked the magic question “Mom, what could I do to be a better daughter?”  Her response, “Just send me more mail.”

That is when I started my Make My Mom Happy By Mail Campaign. Whether you look at it as two and a half years, 33 months or 1000 days, I’m so grateful I had that time between July 2005 and March 2008 to be enriching her life constantly.

Often she would say to me, “You know, when I opened that mailbox and that mail from you was in there, it just made my whole day; it was just like the sunshine came out.” Getting the mail was the high point of her day and filled her final years with a new sense of happiness.

As I look back on that time I don’t have what I believe is a very common regret, “Did I do enough?” After the passing of their parents, many people wonder, “Why wasn’t I there more often? Why didn’t I communicate with him/her more often? Why didn’t I make his/her life happier at the end? Did I do everything I possibly could?” Granted, I still think that I could have done more, but I know that I made her very happy. And that’s a really nice feeling that other Baby Boomers deserve to have.
