My father was killed in military service, when I was only 6. Because there was a war on, I never really saw him and have no clear memories of him. HOWEVER, people who knew him say I'm ''just like him." They say he ''never met a stranger," and that's me, too. They say he was almost always happy...and that's me, too. So, that's my legacy, I guess.

Actually, nothing but a dodgy set of DNA.

What did my dad teach me? Departure, he left when I was a kid and never came back.

What did my mother teach me? Cooking. Ha ha ha, that's a just a joke, she can't cook her way out of a paper bag.

So, all up, apart from my existence that is all I got from my parents.

Best: Never trust people to stay.
Worst: Never trust people to stay.

Best: Honesty and trustworthiness from my dad. Compassion and respect for others from my mom.

Worst: Can't think of anything. Good parents!

Best - emotional self reliance
Worst - low self esteem/confidence

I’ve had to work hard through both, but I’m now a better person because of it.

The worst, my birth family, though many people say I am adopted, sadly the records disagree.
I have been so fortunate with my health, yet I can't say I inherited that, the rest of the family suffer from all the bad stuff, diabetes, cholesterol, addictions, they are way shorter than I am, they get sick, I seem to have a super immune system, but this appears to be as a result of 2 serious infections I had preteen that went untreated.
So nothing great inherited, certainly not the millions my cousins got from my grandmother, or the houses my brothers received while parents were still alive.

Gene pool

My mom looks younger than I do.

I can't stand some aspects of my mother's personality and I fight trying not to be negative, judgemental and know-it-all. My mother's family looks younger.My mom is 90-looks 70. I look younger as well.

My dad`s common sense even though it is a learned behavior I still sit and think how my dad would approach a problem.

best quality i got from my mamma. she taught me to look at things with an open mind. see things that are different from me as a possible compliment to my characteristics rather than just a scary, unknown, bad thing. worst is a toss up between my temper and i guess you would call it the emotional baggage, both of which i got from my father.

Best-Values Worst-Baldness

Best thing from my mother... self awareness and blunt honesty.
Worst thing... although my mother did not force religion down my throat and she taught me to question everything... she also had anger issues, lack of patience and was very violent with me... I have anger issues now and do not want children because I don't want to do what she did to me.

Best thing from my father... honestly don't know... never got a chance to find out..
Worst thing from my father is alcoholism and being a douche when we are drunk.
