Such a beautiful essay, Pearl. This line really resonates with me: "...recall and incorporate the fine advice and suggestions they shared with me over the years." It's true that after our parents are gone, we realize all the questions we never asked. I have so many. But having been blessed with wonderful parents, I know the most meaningful and impactful lessons are held within my heart. And perhaps, for some of those questions, I already know the answer. Thank you for this essential message. XO

Thank you. Our parents’ lessons travel with us through life, long after their own lives have ended.
