Today, I was reminded why I love my parents so much. I don't argue with my parents very often, so today was off to a bad start when I did so almost immediately. The topic we argued about doesn't really matter, just that we did, and we were both a bit right. The thing that reminded me so much that I love my mom, though, is that after a while... she came back and apologized. Not about the initial topic we were talking about, but about some side things I'd brought up because they had annoyed me for a while. And that... that's good to hear. It lets me know that what I was saying wasn't just hitting a brick wall, but was being heard... even if it didn't feel like it at the time. And caring about me enough to give me that reassurance, is why I love them too.
