Remind HN: Call your mother

It's Mother's Day! Remember to look up from your monitor for a bit and thank the person who conceived and gestated you, raised you, or both.

To prevent any confusion: If you're in the UK, it's not mothers day.

It's OK to call your mother more than once a year, you know...

;-)

Swedes, Mother's Day is in three weeks. That said, it's never a bad time to call your mother!

And Norway's was in February.

Some people for whatever reason may not like their mother and may not want to thank them for anything. That's fine as well.

And, if you had an abusive mother please do remember to look after yourself.

You're the first person I've seen mention it, thank you. Trying to :)

Doing something to resist war and promote self-sustainability - the original Mother's Day tradition - isn't a bad idea either.

As a long time reader, I'm hesitant to post a promotion on HN, so I want to give a little more context. Just last week one of our customers called me after her mom passed away, to thank us for all the stories she had gotten through StoryWorth. So while it is my company, I see first hand how it helps people connect with their families and how much it means to them.

I hope you don't mind me sharing it here today, but appreciate your feedback either way.

+1 for StoryWorth — a few members of my family have really taken to it, and one answers the questions each week. My sister and I are learning fun stories about our parents which would probably never otherwise come up in conversation with them.
