[quote=Anonymous]Our family was close, functional and loving. I have learned that my parents were amazing parents. They were patient, loving, non-judgmental and they modeled peace and harmony for all the children. Our home and parents were our safe place and it has continued to be so.  More than anything my childhood was very loving, idealistic, moral and generous.  We did not have much but by the hard work of my mom and dad we were able to live very well and with dignity.

I realized that I was a child who pushed boundaries and they accepted it with grace.  I hope my kids are not as hot-headed as I was.  Thankfully, in the end, everything turned out ok.  I am close to my parents and siblings still and we are doing a daily video check-in.

I have channeled my parents in my parenting. Interestingly, my DH is very similar to my dad. All of my siblings all gravitated towards people who had the same parenting philosophy as our own.  Most of all, I have realized that children will not appreciate parents fully until they become parents themselves.
