Thank you, Sarah! Thank you for not only reminding me that Mother's Day is approaching, but for providing some of the coolest gift ideas I have ever heard. I mean that - well, I meant what I said about those being great ideas; I am actually very aware that Mother's Day is coming up in June.

You have made me genuinely excited to begin writing "Memories Of, Lessons From, Mom." I like your suggestion to write these on individual pieces of paper - like my social security card, those speeding tickets I have no intention to pay, and all of dad's suede business cards - and place them in a jar. Then weld the jar shut.

I believe I'll convince my younger siblings to help purchase a nice exotic jar from India; you know, the one's with the live snakes that lash out at your throat and inject you with deadly venom. Wait, I forgot this is for our mother. I'm sure we can all settle on an ancient canopic jar from Egypt!

And taking pictures! Such a simple, yet perfect idea! As a 25 year-old son that is only now recalling how often my mother says, "we need new pictures of the whole family," I commend you on your thoughtfulness and I thank you with a happy smile. I think I'm going to ignore your suggestion to help clean the house though.

Again, Sarah, thank you for providing me with these great gift ideas at little or no cost; as an unemployed 25 year-old son, it's a little awkward to still ask my parents for money to buy them gifts. And I would also like to thank you in advance for providing these gift ideas that will absolutely make my mothers' Mother's Day one of her most memorable!

Does it feel nice to know that come next Sunday - (I'll admit this time, that I am actually aware that Mother's Day is May 10; although it's very likely that I will forget again at some point) - you will have contributed to making a complete stranger feel extremely special?
