Thread Name: BS: Greatest thing your parents did for you.
Subject: RE: BS: Greatest thing your parents did for you.
They dragged me round fleadhs and sessions from an early age; they taught me to read; they showed me that politeness and courtesy cost nothing; they told me to listen to others instead of just speaking; they brought me up in Northern Ireland without the "label" of a particular religion or community; they encouraged me to treat others as I would like to be treated.
And in case that's a bit too Walton Family-esque (though true), their own actions sometimes taught me what not to do on occasions. Cheers ma and da!
