The Sages tell us that the mitzvah of Kibbud Av V'Em applies to both living and deceased parents (see pp. 36-37 in The Neshamah Should Have an Aliyah). Perhaps, then, this is an appropriate time to focus on this mitzvah. Here is a selection of books that can help you develop your appreciation and knowledge about this precious mitzvah:
The Fifth Commandment: Honoring parents - laws, insights, stories and ideas - Rabbi Moshe Lieber
Yalkut Yosef: Laws of honoring father and mother
