Hello Becca
I am sitting here with a huge lump in my throat. I am so deeply sorry for your loss at such a young age. He sounds like he was a good, solid parent and taught you so much in those years and my hope for you is that those good times with him are comforting especially during the tough times.
The anniversary of my mother's passing is coming up soon and I plan to use the day to pay homage to her in little ways, doing things that she loved and enjoyed as I know that it will help me to feel closer to her. I hope that you occasionally do the same.
Sending you a big hug 🌻
I understand, it wasn't the easiest thing to write and I too became emotional.
My dad was the best and all he wanted was to see me happy and to be able to care for me. I feel so sorry for him as his life was cut short and he didn't get to do so. I still see him in that hospital bed and wake up crying at night sometimes. It's terrible. I remember what I had though, those eleven years have lasted me a lifetime so far.
I'm sorry to hear your mother has also left; it's never easy. You know, sometimes I wonder if I really knew my dad as I was so young when he passed away. I feel cheated as I only knew him as a child, through a child's eyes. I hope you got to spend many years with your mother and that they were good ones to remember.
Becca 💗
