"Home"ward Bound - Impactful Real Estate News

Mind Your Mom!

Just about every May I sit down to write Homeward Bound; I write about Mom’s Day. And why not… it is a very special day for very special people.

My Mom used to tell me, seemingly repeatedly, to do this and do that, not to do this and not to do that. ALL, I recall, was very valuable advice. Looking back on it all these many years later, I can say she was, and still is, a very wise woman.

Time reveals, in fact, just about every caring Mother is a Wise Woman. I can see why we carve out a special day each year to acknowledge Moms. So here is a shout out to all Mom’s – Happy Mother’s Day!!

My Wife’s Birthday is May 2nd, which somehow seems to fall on or very close to Mother’s Day each year. So, she gets double the hugs and appropriate accolades every May from our Daughter and me.

Unfortunately, my Wife’s Mom is no longer here. I know that makes my Wife very sad this time of year. I am sure some of you reading this can relate and have similar stories. For ALL those whose Mom is no longer with us, may you remember the best about them. In addition to that, there are also many who never knew their Mom due to unfortunate circumstances. I bet someone played that roll in their life and they deserve a Happy Mother’s Day, too!

Regardless, we can celebrate this Mother’s Day Month knowing Moms both here and no longer here are special in more ways than we can count.

Especially the Moms who are sitting right now by their Children’s hospital bed not too far from where I type this…

You may recall my team and I are on a mission to raise $10,000 for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) in 2020. We do that by donating a portion of our income from home sales to this very worthy cause.

Right now, there are kids at CHOA who are trying to beat the Cancer Monster and other nasty debilitating diseases. Children’s is one of the best non-profit hospitals at treating kids, even leading the way in early diagnosis of autism and recovery of spinal cord injury. The Mom’s with kids being treated at Children’s are most likely NOT thinking about their special day this month. They are simply just being “Mom” doing what a real loving Mom does. God bless them for it.

My Mom showed me how to give all I could, no matter what I was doing. Many years later, I get to repeat it here and do all I can to help you, your referrals and try to help Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta continue their leading-edge care and keep costs to families at a minimum.

Thank you in advance for the referrals!

Go Serve Big!!!
