Soapbox, quick and clean

Friends forgive me, it has been almost been 2 weeks since my last post. My energy for this is coming back. I have been distracted a bit lately and have not either felt like posting or just returned home too late to do it.
I want to be serious for just a second and ask a question. "When was the last time you spoke with your parents, legal guardian, or parental figure?"
Easy question, but the answer may be hard. I know there are some people who don't get along with their parents, had a falling out, been disowned or whatever. It doesn't matter, get in contact with them today. Life is short. Talk about the old times, the new times, anything just talk. Extend the olive branch and any other cliche you can think of for this situation. Sometimes you have to swallow your pride. I know it may be complex, families are.
If you have a good relationship with your folks, don't be afraid to share your life with them. Once again, life is short. What I am trying to say in a round about way is, we don't know how long they will be around or in what state they will be when they are here.
