A Growing Relationship With My Parents

Hey there readers! Today I am writing about my parents, and how my relationship has grown with them over the years.

     Many say I look quite like my dad, and I would have to agree. My mom often says that I got my dad's face, but I definitely got her eyes. Between the both of them, I believe that their artistic and creative traits were passed down through my siblings, and onto me. As an architect, my dad is always working hard, and constantly striving to make anything to it's best possible state. Everyday that I wake up, I try my hardest to succeed, and I credit some of that drive to him. The both of us are addicted to drinking tea, and have the same passion for good food. As for my mom, she is extremely artistic, and has a good sense of dry humor. My sister, Morgan, got most of the artistic genes, but I would like to think that I got the humor genes. However, in many ways, I am somewhat different from each of my parents. My dad is definitely more selfless than I am, and has the ability to engineer and create things that I don't have the mindset to. I may be more of a writer than him, but in the end, he is easily one of the most enjoyable humans to be around. My mom is incredibly caring, and as a mother, she has a natural ability to look out for everyone around her. As a young teenager, I don't think that I have developed this trait enough, and that is only something that time can tell.
    
      Over the years, my relationship with both parents has grown stronger. However, overtime, I've begun to see my dad less and less, as he works on the east coast and rarely has opportunities to come back home. This has made my appreciation for him as a father grow, and has taught me to make the most of every moment in life. As for my mom, she has helped to shape me into who I am, and I've grown more mature than I could imagine over the past few years. Although I keep most things to myself, she is always willing to listen, and that has helped our relationship to grow stronger. With the time that has passed, I have been able to observe what its like to be an adult. I've learned that life never gets easier, and that staying positive in any situation is crucial. I have also learned that responsibility is incredibly important, and is something that must never be overlooked. With that said, I have definitely learned to never take my time doing what I love for granted. Our life goes by very quickly, so I have grown to appreciate the little moments, especially those with my dad.
