This definitely left me feeling warm and fuzzy. Sometimes it's hard to remember that our parents were actually kick ass once u[on a time...

LM commented on 11/05

Wow... same as rb, it made my eyes tear a bit... I want to be an awesome parent one day. *Sigh* Loved this article.

very moving. Thanks again nerve.

FR commented on 11/07

Wow, speak for yourselves. I know for a fact that my parents were ALWAYS HEADCASES, and only had me to have someone around to be their emotional punching bag.

I am indeed a parent of that generation, and I thought then that the styles, as well as much of the behavior, were ridiculous and vacuous. These pictures affirm my recollections.
