This. If the kids live in different towns, dad is no longer actively parenting. For me, Mother's Day and Father's Day are for celebrating the parents who are currently in the trenches. I do call or text my dad and sometimes send a $25 gift card to a bookstore near his house, but that's it. |

| I just kick off my regular Sunday phone call with a “Happy Father’s Day!” |

Of course they need your company more after you are gone… |
