Do you feel love for your parents? Or how do you feel about them? To me it's pretty foreign to actually have loving feelings for your parents but I'm curious if other people do.
Even though they're both been dead for over 20 years, yes I do; and they were lousy parents most of the time.
This.
Took me a long while to get to that point. That I got there is a testimony to them. The best lesson they taught me is the importance of forgiveness. They did this by providing me many opportunities to forgive them. If that's not love I don't know what is.

I love my mother a lot. Her and I are not the closest but she is a person I can always count on.
My father has been dead for over two years. I generally love him as my father. However I also despised him a lot because of a lot of the crap he put me and my mother through I'm never going to forget.

Myself as well. Never got to know my father. Think about them both often. Never got to share normal times with them like others and it played a huge role in how I see the world and relate to others. I tell others who nay have strained relations to try and mend them with their parents. Once they are gone, they are gone forever. I would kill to have a beer and a ball game with dad or take mom shopping. Truly painful to think about and I am pushing 40 now.

Both are deceased now; and yes, I loved them. At times I may not have liked something they did or said (especially when I was a kid and didn't get my way ).
Did they make mistakes? Sure, who doesn't? I accepted the fact that they did the best they knew how and they were just people, not icons to be placed on a pedestal.
My mom passed in 2001 at 74. My dad passed in 2008 at 79. I loved them both, still do....and miss them everyday.
