"If you could pick anyone in the world, alive or dead, to be your parents, who would it be and why?"

My own parents. Yeah, John and Mary Winchester.

I wish I'd known Mom. I wish I'd known Dad before Mum died - before the demons, the ghosts, the hunting.

I wish I'd known what it was like to play soccer or football with Dad instead of bow hunting or shooting.

I wish I'd known what Mom sounded like when she sang, when she laughed. I wish I'd known home-cooked meals, Christmases by the fireplace, family holidays.

I'd want my parents, smiling and laughing like they are in the pictures, looking at me - at Dean - like they look at me as a baby in those old photographs.

Mom died because of me - and, in some ways, so did Dad. I've never doubted they both loved me, and I'd never wish for anyone else to be my parents.

I wanted a normal life, yeah - but I wanted it with my own family.

I wish I'd known them all before the fire. Sometimes, I wish I could remember. Other times, I'm glad I don't; you can't miss something you never had.

John and Mary Winchester were my parents - and I wouldn't want any other.
