This was actually really heartwarming to read and I hope your parents know how much you appreciate them for avoiding the brainworms that rotted the minds of most of their generation.

They do to the extent considered necessary between us. We're still waspy af and don't do feelings, but the understanding is subtextually there. As a family big gestures or open 'hey, you guys are great and I love you' are corny af and we just don't and gotta be real, that fine by Mr cause I do t have to fake it with extended family when I kinda don't like most of em. My parents are cool and I got along amazingly with my dad's dad, he was the silent Gen version of me, turned down an easy military career post war to be a firefighter, laid down a mutual aide network between rural fire stations so they wod cover each other's assess in bigger fires and when woe.n were ad.itted was the biggest hard ass as fire chief about the dudes not being pigs or they'd get fired ans that was the 60s and 70s. As an old crank he went on to personally boycott any brand who ran commercials he found annoying.
