Friends, not really. At peace, yes.
My dad was toxic and abusive, but talented and witty. 20 years after his passing, I find myself missing him and wishing I had another chance to cultivate a relationship, now that I'm in a totally different head (& heart) space. Mom's 93 and well-advanced in her long, slow walk into the shadows, but I spend as much time with her as I can. There's too little quality time in life to spend it holding grudges for past offenses, real or imagined. She had an amazing career and I respect her ability, tenacity and determination.
