Somewhere around age 20 - Realized that in addition to being parents, they are also people, with dreams and aspirations of their own, and that all their efforts were driven by what was best for me.
Since then - Great again, although Dad's been gone for 12 years now.

Sorry to hear your dad passed away, though it sounds like you got to know him pretty well, and you had a good relationship, which is awesome.
That basically describes my relationship with my parents, though I got out of the "thinking I knew everything" stage a bit earlier, maybe when I was 17-18.
Now we get along really well, though it can be difficult when I go back from school. We just have very different sleep patterns (her, bed at 11; me, bed at 2 or 3 am) which occasionally causes problems. Bottom line is, I love my parents, and I know they love me too. That's what really matters.
