Give People the Gift of Their Dreams

Just a couple of nights ago, I had an opportunity to see a troupe of Rat Pack Imitators. It brought back some important memories for me of the time that I took my mother to see Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. in a live concert. My parents had been great fans of those wonderful entertainers nicknamed The Rat Pack, and had seen them multiple times in

Las Vegas

. But once my dad had passed on, I chose to do some special things just for my mom with the intention of helping her realize her dreams. One of those was to see Sinatra and Davis once again. Another was to see all of the places in the U.K that she had read about in her favorite novels—so we went to

London

,

Bath

, Brighton, and

Edinburgh

. She wanted to fly first class once in her life, so I took her to

New York

and upgraded so we could sit in first class. We went to the

Museum

of

Radio

and TV to watch favorite family TV shows, long off the air. And there were many other special moments. My point is this…. I helped my mom live her modest dreams and in the doing, allowed us to create great memories that will forever stay with me. When she passed on, I had absolutely no questions as to whether I had done enough, whether she knew I loved her, whether I had given her the quality time she craved. So while your loved ones are still here, make sure that you help make their dreams come true and share those experiences with them. It will give YOU peace of mind.
