My dad died three years ago and my mom a year on April 2nd. Both of them sudden, but at least I got to say goodbye to my mom before she passed away. When my dad died, I got "the phonecall" from my mom. Sorry to ramble, but I guess it just comes down to love them both while they are both still here. Matt |

I couldn't choose. It's a rare thing to not have divorced parents, especially ones that get along pretty well.

I could not choose either. If we're talking about divorce (which they are not), I think I'd keep in touch with both of them. I don't live with them anymore anyway so it's not like I'd have to choose which one to live. If we're talking death, I wouldn't be able to choose. I guess I'm just textbook, I went through all the young/teenage BS hating my parents with a passion. Now, I'm older (only 23, but still) and I'm already seeing what everyone else is talking about when they speak of chearishing your parents. Both of my parents are in there 60's, my dad had a stroke 2 yrs ago, and the realization that they're not going to be around for ever has sunk in. Plus, with the added maturity/insight I've gained I'm starting to see just how much like my parents I am.....as much as it hurts to say. |

I am in the same boat you are in and feel the same. Now is the time do as much possible with the parents because they won't be here for long. My parents are pretty young, but you never know when your or thier time is up. Quote:

It's a hard choice; flip a coin? I'd prolly have to say my mom. What would you say if your mom is a prostitute, and your dad was a customer?

I'm 30 years old. My folks are divorced, have been for over 10 years. I talk to both of my parents once every two weeks, and more often with emails. My sister on the other hand has this thing against my Dad. She was ~16 or so years old, and just hasn't forgiven him for wanted out of the relationship. She didn't invite him to her Veternarians Lab Coat ceremony this evening... ... and thus the discussion started. She has clearly chosen her Mom, and seems to want nothing to do with her Dad. And he was a great father!! |
