9. "I asked myself!"

I sure hope that dad never loses that video. It will be priceless when she graduates from high school, college, and of course, her wedding!

12. He'll need it to remember why he loves her

when she hits the early teen years and he suddenly becomes eyerollingly stupid and she hates his guts with the heat of a thousand burning suns.

[Dem2theMax]

13. Oh boy,

Being a daughter, I can remember those years!
Thankfully, I grew out of them and realized what a wonderful person my dad was.

14. I've told parents that their kids come back to them in a few years

It’s a time when the kids need to learn their vital importance as separate human beings. Rebelling against their parents is truly a sign of mental health. If you’re a good parent your kids always return as better people. And parents too are better people after the experience.

15. How true.

In the later years of my parents lives, I moved in with them and became their caregiver in addition to being their daughter. And I got to know them as people in their own right, and not just as my parents.

It was hard work, but it was a priceless gift at the same time. I am quite sure a lot of people never get to know their parents as anything other than parents. I feel so lucky that I got to spend those extra years with Mom and Dad.

17. I did the same with my mother

As hard as it was I am at peace with taking care of her for her last years. She had Dementia so the care had to be constant. I feel like those are the years that made me a good daughter, deserving of the care she took of me all my life. The circle was complete.

[Dem2theMax]

19. I feel for you. I did not have to deal with Dementia.

Both of my parents were 100% there, mentally. And they lived into their mid-90's.

"The circle was complete." You touched my heart. That is exactly how I felt.

In the last month of my Mom's life, I realized that we had switched roles. She was now the child/infant, and
I was the parent. I realized that I was doing for her, all the things she had done for me when I was small.
Too small to have any memory of that care and love, but now I saw it in reverse. What a gift that was.

We are lucky. We both got to complete the circle, and I can tell that you did it with love, the same as I did.
I know of so many people who have had to take care of aging parents, and they did it with resentment.

It is such a blessing to be able to see what we both saw, felt, and learned.

21. You're right. The gifts that family give are priceless.

But luckily for me my mother knew who I was to the end. She lost many memories, and abilities, but she always knew me and my son.

Now I’m all choked up!

[Dem2theMax]

22. I'm sorry that brought back sad memories.

But it made me smile when I read that she knew you and your son to the end. That in itself was a huge blessing.

23. Yes. It was

Thank you.
