Valentine’s Day is a perfect time to show aging loved ones you remember and respect all they’ve done over the years.

1. Go visit, even if it’s only a half an hour. Distance an issue? Call, or Skype.
2. Take a box of sugar-free sweets and …a Valentine’s card.
3. Take or send potted flowers, which last longer than cut flowers.
4. Plan a lunch or dinner together.
5. Build and present a small album of old photos, complete with brief descriptions.
