When I was a kid, my mom would give my sister and I a small gift for Valentine’s Day. When I was 11, Mom gave me a George Gervin Sports Illustrated poster. I was overjoyed and was still floating the next day at school. My mom and I talked sports occasionally, (1/2)

but she knew how much sports mattered to me and she took the time to know who my favorite player was and to track down that specific poster. If you have a loved one who makes you feel like I did on that Monday in 5th grade, give em a call. You’ll both be uplifted.
