The Power of Parents

My mom and dad came to see me last weekend. They picked me up and we went to OD’s Kitchen. It is one of my local favorites. I really like the food because it is an old-school diner feel. It has real food not a lot of preservatives. 

It was nice to see my parents. It’s like coming home after a long day and you can see the light on your family's faces. It brightens your day that much more. 

When we are younger we take for granted seeing our parents every day. When you get older you can realize and enjoy seeing them. You have more nostalgia. You are also all adults at this point so you have more to relate to. Some of the concerns your parents might have had for you when you were younger, are concerns you might have for your own kids. It gives you more to be able to talk about. 

You feel love, excitement, and security, and you do not need to impress them. Although I am pretty sure that they are impressed by all I have done and are proud of me. My parents had to face my early prognosis and have seen all that I have overcome. 

I know not everyone has supportive parents as adults so I do not take them for granted. If your parents are not always supportive, just focus on yourself. Do you boo boo. Protect yourself and be an advocate for yourself. You can also reach out to good people in your community or life.

The road less traveled often leads to success, but that does not mean you have to walk it alone.
