I adore my parents. It wasn't always this way, of course--back in High School I was pretty prickly toward them.
Some time after I graduated college, got married, got a job, I realized all they'd given me and all they'd sacrificed for me. I called them up one night and let them know how great everything is going for me, and thanked them for my life. We all cried and told each other how much we love each other. It was an amazing conversation.
They came out to visit Lurkette and me a few weeks ago. We didn't really DO anything, which is a total departure of how our family vacations usually go. We just sat around and spent time with each other. It was really, really wonderful.
