I didn't realize that the sole reason for the existence of Mother's Day and Father's Day was economic in nature. I didn't even think that was an important reason. I thought it was to show appreciation for our parents, which should happen every day of the year anyway. But what do I know?

Doc,
You know alot. My wife of 32 years knows shes' my Valentine. Why a card, candy, gift, etc.?
Mother's Day reminds me of my Mom and what she went through to raise we 3 kids. I'll send her flowers and a card thanking her for what she did for me. She is now 81.
My wife should get the same from our two boys.
All in all, the commercialization of the holidays is gone way overboard. The idea is to make us feel guilty for not remembering when I remember everyday.
