i spent some time thinking about my parents today, and b's parents too. it was neat thinking of them not as parents but as people.

andy (brendan's dad) is a real feeler. he's in tune with nature and spirituality, and in general is a pretty enthusiastic person. and he's very proud of brendan.

nancy (b's mom) is passionate about the things she loves. like brendan, she loves good quality things. and she's very generous and shows love through serving others.

george (my dad) loves people. he connects with all sorts of people, but especially marginalized folks. he's well informed, interested in everything and is also pretty charming.

jan (my mom) cares about relationships. she's people oriented and reaches out to those who are hurting, lonely or left out. she's very funny, has a good sense of humour, lives pretty simply, and is very encouraging.

i'd say all four of them are pretty loyal as well. which is a great trait.

i feel very fortunate to have such dynamic, caring and interesting people in my life.

this is you
according to me.
