My parents and I have never been close, we aren't the lovey-dovey type of people and have never uttered the words "I love you" to eachother. Though, when I was little the only real evidence that my mom loves me is when she held my hand when I was little girl to try to get me to sleep at night. It seems almost every night she did that for me. My dad on the other hand is usually silent when it comes about talking about eachother. The only thing that makes me proud is when he said he'd do anything to protect our family, he'd risk his life for us. I really never give him enough credit. Because I know if we were all held at gunpoint, he'd be the first to kick the [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] out of the guy, because that's how much he cares and loves us. I suppose I wouldn't want my parents to be anyone else, they may not say much, but when they do, it means the world to me.
