It was with the passing of my father that I had the awakening that as long as our parents are alive, they are teaching us through their daily habits.
How easy it is to overlook how important our little quirks, comments and habits affect our children. The shame is that if you are a parent.. what done is done. The good news is… as long as you are alive your job is not done, so there is hope!
It’s not been easy for my mother to continue without her best friend and avid agitator… but her spirit to choose life and focus on living has taught me so much about her… and about the courage it takes to go on. I love you Viviana Franco.
I could only pray to be a fraction of the best of my parents.
