I am so blessed to have the parents that I have. Even though they split up they always showed respect for one another. My mother is so insightful and such a great influence in my life in a very positive way. I was talking to my sister yesterday and we agreed that she is a touchstone for us, if we are down she always can lift our spirits. She is just such a positive person.
My dad died about a year ago and wasn't a spiritual influence like mom. He was a good man in so many ways though. Just wish they could have stayed together so I would have had more time with him.
