WOW isnt that a good feeling? My family is just now asking me "some" things as they still dismiss so much.
I am proud to say that my daughter and I have been canning up a storm and I just leave it at her home. she is out of the 30 mile radius if that even holds water. At least I feel better.
I remember once when my husband and I seen a UFO in our back yard, my dad was a little upset that I didn't call him to look outside but it was so late and I knew he was sleeping. I also remember saying my nuns were jesuits once and he freaked out and corrected me they were Dominican Nuns. (wonder if there is a difference) Now, I sit back and wonder why we didn't discuss these type of things.
I'm sure my parents had their own opinions but it just wasn't brought up. I think they thought we would be scared.
You are very fortunate to be able to have that conversation, I envy you.
My children know how I feel but they don't always want to listen. They say, Oh well alright nice mom, can we change the subject now.
Not any longer.......
