re: Do You Feel Like You Made Your Parents Proud?

My mom was always my brothers an my biggest critic but by God no one else had better think of saying one negative thing.

She and my dad worked their asses off to provide and instill values. She was a second generation Syrian and Dad a WWII Marine so we were brought up disciplined and respectful

I was the first on either side of their family to finish college. I think that was their proudest moment as we didn’t have squat and they weren’t in a position to send me to school. Real pride kicked in when we presented them with grand kids.

I ended up having to bury them both along with one grandmother.
