I take a walk and call my parents. I also occasionally take a bath while listening to a podcast.

That sounds lovely. I should call my parents.
Being a new parent, I realized this is one thing I have failed at in my 20s with my parents. Should have definitely called them more often, even if it's just for a few minutes here and there.
I'm a new parent as well - it really made me understand and relate to my parents better.

Calling them every week at least once to see the nephew (we live in a different country ) - but I'll try to do the 1 minute a day I commented earlier.

It sounds like you don't have this chance anymore. . sorry for your loss.

Do it, and do it often. They are lonely.
Just heard this and really liked: "1 minute a day is worth more than 1-2hours on a Saturday"

Meaning giving 1 minute a day to your parents / love ones to let them know you are good - healthy - that you love and appreciate them..daily is worth more than trying to compensate on a Saturday.
