    In this touching two-part series, Craig shares the impactful and profound life lessons he has learned from his 98 year old mom. Craig shares a heart felt tribute that reflects on the small yet meaningful moments that shaped his childhood and the wisdom his mother imparted on him through both her words and actions.

    From teaching the importance of family dinners and structure, to demonstrating resilience in the face of profound loss, Craig's mother imparted on him that parenting isn't about perfection – it's about being "this side of good enough." Craig shares poignant stories like his mother's final night with his father in hospice, her tradition of waving goodbye until her children were out of sight, and their ongoing playful debate about who had bluer eyes, which illustrates how the smallest gestures of love can leave the most lasting impact.

    In this episode Craig shares that even as he sat beside beside his mother, who sometimes struggles to find her words, that even in the fog of dementia, her core essence – her smile, her joy in surprises, and her ability to show love – remains undiminished. This episode is a deeply personal narrative and tribute that reminds us that building a child's character happens one small moment at a time. Consistency, presence, and unconditional love are a testament to the enduring bond between parent and child, and how a mother's love continues to teach and touch your heart in life's final chapters.
