If Your Parents Are 50+, You Need to Watch This... (B&W) [waiting on thumbnail]

If your parents are over 50, there’s one truth many of us learn too late: the little moments we share with them now might one day be the memories we wish we had more of. This video is a gentle reminder that aging parents often feel invisible, unheard, or left behind in a fast-changing world—but small acts of love, like asking about their stories or learning their language, can mean everything. Backed by research on connection and aging, we unpack why being truly present isn’t just good for them—it heals something inside us too. What’s one simple thing you could do today to make your parents feel seen?
