Cat Uncaged

I am one of those people who is blessed to have a great relationship with my mom.
She is one of the kindest, kick ass, people I know.
I would love to sit here and say she's perfect, but that would be a great injustice to my mom. Frankly, I don't want her to be perfect.

This may sound odd but in my mind, perfection is overrated and makes others feel silly and stupid.

It's a great feeling that I can call my mom at any time and get advice in parenting, talk about my misery that day, or just talk. My husband makes fun of me sometimes for talking to my mom, sometimes 5 times a day or more. I get bored, I call mom. That simple.

Now, I need to include my dad in this, because he is a great dad too. My dad is one of those people who does not show emotion that well. I have never once doubted his love though.
My dad has been through a lot. He broke his back working as a CNA, gained a lot of weight, then had 3 heart attacks.
He wants to change all that is is actively working with the doctor's to change that.

My parents are great people, and it's been a great thing for me. My parents take Cailyn on the weekend for a night or two. It's a huge help for them to do this as it allows me and my husband, time to relax.

I miss Cailyn when she's gone, but the saying "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" is so true! When she comes home, I am relaxed, and ready to begin again.

I don't know where I would be without my parents and I hope I don't have to find out any time soon
