I think the first time you really truly appreciate your parents is when you have your own kids. You realize how amazingly precious your child is and then the light bulb clicks on and you realize that is exactly how your parents felt about you. It's a little humbling in a way.
I'm very lucky to have a wonderful relationship with both my parents, whom I love more than anything, and they also live very very close to me so I see them everyday.
