yes :] its a classic

Our parents cast long shadows over our lives!. When we grow up we imagine that we can walk into the sun, free of them!. We don't realize until it's too late that we have no choice in the matter; they're always ahead of us!.

We carry them within us all our lives, in the shape of our face, the way we walk, the sound of our voice, our skin, our hair, our hands, our heart!. We try all our lives to separate ourselves from them and only when they are dead do we find we are indivisible!.

We grow to expect that our parents, like the weather, will always be with us!. Then they go, leaving a mark like a handprint on glass or a wet kiss on a rainy day, and with their death we are no longer childrenWww@QuestionHome@Com

beautiful words, really touch my heart!. God bless my parents!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
