Do You Know?

4/21/2020

 
When my father passed away he had filled out a journal that reflected upon his memories. My sisters gave it to him and it is actually one of the greatest gifts I've ever received because I found out things about my father I would've never known. Do you know these things about your mom and dad:

1) What do they remember wanting to be when they grew up?
2) What kinds of things did they worry about back then?
3) Do they remember who their first boyfriend or girlfriend was?
4) Do they remember how old they were when they got their first kiss?
5) What was their favorite sport to play?
6) What was their favorite subject in school?
7) What was the biggest thing they got in trouble for when growing up and what was their punishment?
8) What was their first car?
9) What was their first job and do they remember how much it paid?
10) What was the greatest thing they got wrong (miscalculated), about being an adult? 11) What are three things that they feel are most important to having a happy life?
12) This is a tough one and one that might not receive an answer, but what do they feel was their biggest mistake along their journey?

You might not be interested in all the questions I listed but if there are things you'd like to know, now is a great time to find out if they haven't already passed away. Your parents cannot have a legacy without you. You extend their existence through knowledge of their life. Know as much as you can and pass it on to your children.

My parents were awesome, I just wish I knew the extent of their awesomeness while they were still alive because quite frankly, they would've received more respect from me. If only I had another chance.
