Thank you so much for your encouragement and support. It means a great deal to me. I'm still learning and always trying to keep an open mind about things. While I wait for some teaching gigs to start, I've had a lot to think and learn about during this gap time. <br /><br />One thing that I've been more mindful of is death. As I watch my parents get older, I'm more aware that I won't have them forever. Thinking so has motivated me to act and be more patient with them as well. Thank you again and God bless! :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433372760860510949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149170681309171452.post-77847335847208743732013-01-12T12:06:02.693-05:002013-01-12T12:06:02.693-05:00Wow Sammy, for one so young you are exceedingly wi...Wow Sammy, for one so young you are exceedingly wise. Your courage and strength to go against the 'family flow' at such a young age are commendable. <br /><br />And more than anything I'm so glad that your father opened-up to you before it was too late. My dad died twenty odd years ago and sadly many things were left unsaid. My mother has dementia and many things can't be said. You have done something SO many folks would love to do, had meaningful conversation that brings great change in the family dynamic. I'm in awe!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149170681309171452.post-65315240603786582532013-01-11T14:23:33.574-05:002013-01-11T14:23:33.574-05:00Communication has always been a weak point in my f...Communication has always been a weak point in my family which is why that moment was so important to me. And your words about communication in families are very true. We certainly have to follow our goals even when it seems difficult and discouraging at times. Thank you for sharing as well!<br /><br />~SammyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433372760860510949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149170681309171452.post-6270313469489216552013-01-11T13:45:28.788-05:002013-01-11T13:45:28.788-05:00Wow, what a moment with your father.

Thanks for sharing that.<br /><br />I think that moments like that are precious, when true communication occurs in families and people finally start to see things from each other's point of view. Good for you in not pursuing medicine and ending up miserable. I know that if I'd done something similar I would have been just as miserable. We have to follow our own goals and ideas of success.<br /><br />JaiJai Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858987106548357551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149170681309171452.post-5988270675518001542013-01-11T00:56:27.633-05:002013-01-11T00:56:27.633-05:00I can only imagine how stressful it must be for pa...I can only imagine how stressful it must be for parents, but I believe life offers us breakthrough moments if we're willing to see and accept them. I'm happy I had enough courage to bring this particular issue up because it's not usually a conversation we have or expect. Thank you for sharing!

The problem is that what we think is best for them may not be what they think is best for them. My kids are still young, but I pray I will be able to let go and let them be.
