I remember sitting around a table where my uncle was talking with other family members when I was about 19 years old. It was at my grandfather's funeral.
He wasn't talking to me, but I'm sure it was said for my benefit.
He mentioned that a point comes in every young person's life around their early twenties where a line is crossed, and from that day onward they look at their parents not just as parents, but as people - people with pasts, futures, dreams, and imperfections.
From that day onward my relationship with my parents changed forever for the better.
