THIS is why I talk about my mom & dad so much... I was not in town when my mother or my father passed away, which makes it even harder to accept and deal with. Mom & I really started to reconnect again as mother & son when she passed in early 2000's. Dad & I didn't quite get that far but that was another situation. I would do absolutely ANYTHING for 5 more minutes with them both to tell them in person how much I LOVE them!
@duglop I totally get it! Mom died while I was pg with her first grandchild after a long fight with MS. My Dad and Stepdad decades later but with lots unsaid…
@NorCalCherylLyn thank you, some days are harder than others - I'm not who I was when they both last saw me back then...
When mom died it devastated me
When dad died it changed me
