Parents

I've either become an emotional basket case from all of my recent stress, or I've just opened my eyes to something I've ignored all my life. Maybe a combination of both.

I have really great parents. My dad especially. They may be a little weird, and we may have had misunderstandings, and just hard times. But I haven't given them nearly enough credit. They're always there when I need them. They try to help as much as they can, even when I know (and they know) that they can't really afford it and it'll cause some troubles/sacrifices for them later. They expect nothing in return except some time and an occasional phone call. They're totally supportive of what I want to do, and they have no problem telling me they're proud, whether I feel I deserve it or not. I just wonder how I've managed to overlook all that for so long.
