Wonderful! I’m looking forward to a few more revelations from you 😄.
I LIKE revelations. I’m ready for them.
It’s really cool to see the great things your parents gave you BEFORE you have to say goodbye (for now) to them. I was grateful for the opportunity to have my eyes opened. It was a silver lining (there always is one) within a horrid experience ❤️. I remember my mum often saying she regretted not having the chance to make peace with her (challenging) parents. I’m hoping, generation upon generation, that the children in my family have more and more positive, peaceful, affirmative parents so I’ve worked hard to try to create that kind of parenting atmosphere for my children (as much as I’ve been able) whilst letting them know you can and will be fallible and you are perfectly imperfect as you are 😄
I think it is a bit impossible to become a person with great qualities whilst having irredeemable parents 😄 even terrible parents get some stuff right 😂. But I did believe, before my mum was sick, that I’d become everything I’d become precisely because I decided to NOT be like my parents and I lived with that story without questioning it too well. I much prefer the truth ❤️
I think a lot of what they didn’t do was part of the good I hadn’t always seen too.

It’s SO nice to meet nice people here in this lovely steemit atmosphere. 😄

Cheers @sahana-yoga and Happy 2018!
