I want to touch on this again.
I know people feel close, connected, and love for their parents. They want to honor them.
I have, as a parent, become practical in my feelings about this.
I have kids to raise them, and launch them. I fully expect them to go off, and have their own families. I do not want to ever get in the way of that. I have children to go on, and have their own..... not to take care of me. I just want the grandkids every once in awhile.
