The older I get, the more precious spending time with my parents is. I love hearing their stories such as the time as a young couple with three children under the age of 5 they drove across the country (from Virginia to Oregon) and only stopped once for four hours somewhere in New Mexico. My dad was an enlisted sailor in the US Navy so had limited time. #childhood #childhoodmemories #spendingtimewithparents #thankful #elderlyparents
