I felt like I found a secret: My mother is creating a book for me to read after she dies. And I'm not ready for that.
My parents are nearing 80, so it should come as no surprise to me that they won't be around forever. But there's still so much more I want to know about them.
I want to hear all the crazy landlord stories, but I also want to know more about their childhoods. What were their relationships with their own parents like? Did they enjoy having siblings?
As my own kids grow older, I want to ask them about the way they parented me. How did they decide who was going to teach me how to drive?
