That was beautifu,, a very heart felt article.
My parents had their secrets also. I started learning of them when I was in college, My GrandmotherI guess wanted to clear her soul, and confessed some things to me before she died. Long story short, it didn't change a thing for my love of my Parents. If anything it strengthened it .
I also found a metal box my Dad had after his death. I was so surprized to find a poem he wrote,, It was half finished, so I took his poem, I ghosted wrote, along side of him, and finished the poem for him. He was a professional Journalist, and I got my love to write from him.
A link to his, (our) poem is below:
