Morning kpsaran!
That is a great question! I am 39 years old and have lost my dad 5 years ago and lost my mother 1 year ago. Since that time I have had several people tell me the qualities they think I have from them. But I have a different view of it. You see when my mother was ill and I was taking care of her I found out my husband was having an affair on me...needless to say I filed for divorce and was going through a nasty one when my mother was in her last days. About an hour before she passed she looked at me and said she didn't want to leave me now cuz she wanted to be there for me for strength. I just looked into her eyes for the last time and told her she needs to go when she is ready and that I would be just fine because she raised a very strong woman and no matter where she is I would draw any extra strength I needed from her.
So I would say strength is a HUGE one for me and then probably caring would be the second.

From My Dad, I got my sense of determination, discipline and ease when dealing with people. From my mom, I got my patience and maternal instincts, haha ... happy mylotting!

When I was growing up, I vowed to always be the OPPOSITE of my parents because they were both doing some very bad things. So, guess I got that quality from them . . . though, I'm not sure. LOL
