Parentals
Posted by Dayna
I’ve had a whirlwind beginning to the new year with a whole bunch of new, exciting, and nerve wracking experiences happening almost everyday.
My main concern has been Dad and whattheheck I was gong to do if ALS was confirmed. Thank God it wasn’t! One thing I know is that I am in no way ready to lose a parent (not that I’ll ever be). There’s still a lot of things I want to do while they’re still alive, like have my Dad walk me down the aisle, give them (more) grandchildren, travel with them, and make up for my teenage years. Ha!
The older I get, the more I feel like I need them to be on the other line when I call. I’m so grateful for the wisdom they give me and the openness we now share. It really is awesome to have a functioning relationship with both my Mom and Dad after everything we’ve been through.
I know now that they’re my parents for a reason and I wouldn’t trade them for ANYTHING!
