Day 3 of getting to know me November is about describing your relationship with your Parents! I hope you join me in the fun!
My Madre! My mother and I are becoming closer than we have ever been. We have been doing weekly dinners, and getting to know each other. I have been enjoying this. We have been able to talk, catch up, and really count on each other. She is a CNA/ Restorative aid and has always worked with elderly and Veterans, and taking care of them. She has a kind and caring heart!
My Dad! My dad and I are getting along and we go to the hockey games with him 99% of the time. So it's been fun getting to see him and know him as well. He is a retired veteran, and an ex- miner. Its nice to hear the story's and all the places he has traveled. He is also a sports fanatic.
My parents and I have not always had the best relationship. I grew up so much younger than my siblings, and my parents were split so it was different that what my siblings had. Then also when I got married I wasn't able to talk to family or hardly anyone that I knew before him. So It has been nice to rekindle and get to know my family and parents again. Like I said I grew up so much younger than my siblings My parents were old enough to be Grandparents to me. So It was different. But I appreciate them now!
So Its a process of rebuilding relationships. I would say that both of my parents and I have a really good thing going. It hasn't always been that way, So I can say I'm grateful for the fact that I am having the chance to rekindle. I really am starting to appreciate Family!
