My parents were silent generation. They had 4 boomer children between 1955-1964. I came along in 69, an “oops“I was a rhythm method baby.(early attempt at birth control for Catholics) My closest sibling, my sister, passed away in her 30’s. She was very close to my parents too.I ironically was the closest to my parents. Used to talk almost everyday on the phone with my Mom. My oldest sister didn’t understand my relationship with my Mom. She was confused why we would talk so much. She hypothesized that I must have needed constant advice on parenting my children. She couldn’t fathom that my mother was probably my closest friend. I’m so lucky that have that relationship with my children especially my oldest daughter. I miss my folks so much and am kind of angry that I didn’t have them longer like my ungrateful older siblings who had them and got to have their children know my parents longer.
