[Evans, Marv]

You guys don't know how lucky you are. Our home was an emotional desert. My parents favorite saying was, "Children are to be seen and not heard." They fed & clothed us and made us feel like we were burdens. When I'd go to friends' houses, I'd marvel at how their parents interacted with them as real human beings. Even if your parents are gone, consider your lives enviably enriched by having relationships of mutual respect & love between you and them.
