I to lost my mom within a year and a half of my dad. It was so strange. I had my parents for 46 years of my life. We did so much together and I miss them terribly. My dad passed in Jan of 2010 then mom in June of 2011. Time has passed and the hurt I feel is less but I miss them terribly. I don't think their age matters, my dad was 77 and my mom 70, so I think they were to young. But for whatever reason it was their time. I didn't realize it until time passed, but it is because of them that I stayed strong and was able to carry on. I still can think of something or see something and cry. That will never change. We can only be grateful for their love. The picture I have posted is my graduation from Strayer University in 2011 a couple months before mom died. I always wanted to complete my degree and she was there to share that. I am now completing my Master's degree and it is because of their support that I could do that. So I don't grieve their loss - I celebrate their love!!!
I lost my mom a few weeks ago to Pancreatic Cancer. I miss her terribly, she was my best friend. I feel so alone even though I have a loving family.

Thank you for your kind words. I believe dad is in Heaven and I'm going to take comfort in that thought also. I'm sorry you lost both of your parents. I must count my blessings that mom is very healthy and still with us on Earth.
