First day of the thank you Cathy blog.
The first thing to know is that Cathy is my mother. The second thing to know is that she wouldn't want to be thanked by one of her sons. I don't mean to say that she would resent being thanked. Quite the opposite - it would probably make her day. The thing about Cathy is that it would never occur to her to want something like recognition from her boys.
Personally, I love to be recognized. Most people do. Not Cathy.
