Your parents are a living example to follow for you?

In most areas, I would say yes. I have the most amazing parents that a girl could ask for. They, together, raised 7 kids...4 from Momma, 3 from Daddy. Not that you would know that we weren't all from them both by simply looking at us. They loved us, as well as each other unconditionally. All of us kids are grown now with families of our own, but we all still deeply respect the wonderful parents that God gave to us. I call Momma everyday, even if it is to say hi and I love you to her. We go visit as often as possible. My kids all look up to their Na-Na and Pa-Pa and love them deeply. So yes, I would give anything to be half the parent that mine were to me!
