[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 736812, member: 1550"] That was beautiful. I never read that book. Maybe I should In the spirit of that book and your response, I wish I had told both my grandmother in law and mother and law how much I loved them and why. I dont think they ever knew and my marriage to my ex was not good. But they were amazing people. And I think it would have meant something to them. I learned so much from them about how to be a good parent to adult kids and how to walk with grace and be peaceful. Never did I hear either cuss or raise their voices. Yet they got their points across. They did not speak poorly of others. They were the typical if you cant say something nice about someone dont say anything at all. Until their deaths, and Grandma Ruth died at 94, they had lunch dates, many friends and were very busy. In no way have I been able to totally replicate them. But it did teach me how to interact with my adult kids. That I was able to often mirror. And I learned that you can go on with your life after extreme disappointment. You can even accept what you can not change. It is always good to say the words while you are both on earth. Very thought provoking answer. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
