READ this before it is too late:

1. A parent's home will always be your home. But your home isn't always theirs.

2. A parent will spend their last cent to see you comfortable. But not every child sets aside the same for them.

3. Parents will sacrifice their time, sleep, and dreams for you. Quietly. Without keeping score.

4. One day, the house you grew up in will be quiet. The calls will stop. The advice won't come anymore.

5. So call them. Visit them. Hug them longer.

6. Because in this world no love is more loyal, more patient, or more real than the love of your parents.

Hug Your Cat Day ...

Today is Hug Your Cat Day. Go ahead and give your cat a big, furry hug.

Cat lovers can really get into this day. If you're a cat lover, you can really appreciate the warm, cozy feeling you get when you curl up on a couch or chair, and hug your cat. The only problem is, your cat will most likely only allow a brief hug before sauntering away. If your cat is a true hugger, count your blessings.

Dog lovers ... sorry, but hugging your dog will not suffice. If you are going to be "into" this day, you simply must hug a cat ... your cat.

You don't have a cat? You can correct this today. The month of June is "Adopt a Cat Month".
