Grace, this was a good post. You are so right with your insight about parents and their children. Mine also have died and I was so fortunate to have such special loving parents. However, as you stated, they were not perfect, but we always had a wonderful relationship, love, and guidance. You know, when I think on this, I do believe we learned from each other. My mother had just turned 18 in July after I was born in June. I, like you, even though my parents lived into their late 80's and early 90's, remembering those loving special times, I am so blessed to have those special memories. I will never forget that my mother always gave this sound advice before we left the house for whatever function was planned: "Always be a good girl"...every time...no matter our age. I am so proud of you, Grace, and the young wise woman you have become. May God continue to richly bless you as you go forth in life. Love you
