After focusing so much on the ones and zeroes, posts like this snap us back to all that really matters: other people.
In the past year, I have made dramatic changes in my life, both personal and business, for one reason: so that I can spend time with my mother who is suffering from severe dementia. We watch Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune every night together. I yell out all the answers and she laughs, not caring whether they're right or wrong.
Before she started slipping away last year, she told me 2 things:
"From the moment I first saw you, I knew I would love you unconditionally forever."
Wow...I watched the same two shows with my mom. She spent much of her last year in the hospital. Except for an ice storm and one or two other days, every evening she was there, so was I.
I can tell you from experience that after she's gone, you will be very, very glad that you took the time.

and
"I'm so proud of you."
Everything else from this point forward is gravy.
Thank you, Alexis.
