Parents

I was reading the New Era this morning, and there is a very good article about Parents and Children- communication..The three things that children can do are: 1. Trust your parents;

2. Take an interest in their lives; 3. Ask your parents for advice.

When I was a teenager, I discovered that my father and mother were NOT perfect...they were people just like me and had their quirks and shortcomings. It was a disconcerting thing to find out, but I still loved them, trusted them and went for advice. I think that is what has kept us close throughout the years. I have also learned that as you get older, your views of what is important and what isn't , becomes more clear.

I talk to my parents about once a week, and it is always a good experience. Why is it, though, that I still feel like I should be 14?

It's also a blessing that my own kids will call and talk to me often, ask Stu and I for advice(on totally different things:) and I think they trust us.

So, all in all, I think we have pretty good relationships with our parents and children. Now it is our turn to have good relationships with the grandchildren! What fun!!
