I find it interesting that as a child you see your parents as really old ,really really old when you are a teenager! Then you become 40 and start to be aware that they were just kids when they had you, marched off to war, lost a secure job, bought a house . When you are in your senior years and your kids are in their 40 s and 50 s you really realize how you still see them as the kids and how little you understood your parents in their old age . I’m 80 - my body says I’m 108 my mind says I’m 50 . We do the best we can at the age we are and hope that we don’t judge ourselves or the other generation too harshly. Not sure I am making a lot of sense here. So happy Father’s Day and enjoy your memories.

" I realize that my value to them may be less in what I say and more in how I actually live my own life."
As a mother and a grandmother, this is what I strive for.
