Besides that my parents lived a world apart around the age I am now, I honestly don't know what their life was like.

I outlived my dad. He committed suicide at the age I was two years ago.

My mom spent age 32-63 paralyzed in a nursing home, so I think I've surpassed her life accomplishments at my current age as well.

    She had ulcerative colitis, and there were medications she had to take for it but after awhile she stopped taking the meds out of vanity because they had side effects that she thought made her look too "puffy," next thing I know she was in the hospital after having a stroke that paralyzed her at the age of 32 and she lived another 30 years paralyzed like that.
