3/30 Things: Parents

(Click here for the intro post)
Describe your relationship with your parents.

My parents. I love them. If you read my post just previous to this about fears, you'll remember that one of my greatest fears is losing my parents. I don't know what I'd do without them. Even though I don't rely on them for much of my physical support right now, just knowing that they are there whenever I need them provides a lot of my emotional support.

Right now my relationship with my parents is mostly over the phone, so here's what our relationships look like in that context.

My dad. He's not really the talkative type, so I often spend lots of time on the phone with him in silence, just thinking at each other. I usually call him for questions about money, work, my calling/ the Church, big decisions, and things like that. I've learned to trust and do almost everything he says, because I've never gone wrong by following his advice.

My mom. She's my best friend. In contrast to my dad, we can spend hours talking on the phone. I mostly call her about boys and dating, but we also talk about stuff like my calling, my classes, her work, my dog, and spiritual stuff. I can just tell her about my day, and sometimes we can just talk about nothing but the fact that we're talking is all that matters.

I love them both so much!
