In your special zchus, i will humbly add my 2cents, (canadian) to this wonderful blog.
As you all know, my Mother just passed away. I want to share a short anecdote with the moral on Kibbud Av V'aim being JUST DO THE BEST YOU CAN. NOW.
About fourteen years ago, I had told Moishe, that i want to do anything and everything for my mother, and hoped that I would never have any regrets. Moishe had said that no matter what, I will still feel guilty afterwards for some-thing or another.
Indeed, over the next fourteen years, Hashem helped me and my family fulfill this, and we went to great lengths to give her the utmost honor, care and respect.
Sure enough, after my mother was niftar, I thought about it, and realized that Moishe was right. I did find some things to feel guilty about, despite all my best dedicated efforts to honor, respect and care for her in the best possible way. I am still so grateful for all we were able to do, and the way we did it.
As Zaidy Chanowitz says, "Capture the opportunity of a lifetime, in the lifetime of the opportunity."
We wish everyone, arichus yomim veshanim tovos always and only, with simcha bituv levov
