I can't thank them enough for that.

Couldn't agree more - I live 1500km from my parents - A few weeks back Mum got ill and I decided to move back to help out my old man - My Mum, unfortunately passed away unexpectedly last week - Coming back and being able to spend some precious time with her means more to me than anything else -
Both my parents knew what I do for a living and I got full support from them - I feel guilty as hell for living so far away for so many years and not being there to spend more time with them both - I will certainly live much closer to my Dad from now on -
You only ever have one set of parents - Don't let them die before you realise their true value to you.
