If I don't comment, you may think people don't agree with you, rather than the truth, that these words are so profound, they make any response seem trite.
Sorry to hear :( Dunno if you had a good relationship or not with them growing up....funny how you can find out when you're adult that you actually have little or nothing in common with your parents. I feel that to varying degrees about mine, but still love them. Like, I love my mom, but I'd be fine with barely talking to her.
