I'm very sorry to hear your loss @surpassinggoogle... I can only imagine how heartbreaking it may have been not being able to be by her side before she went... but I'm glad to hear that you're feeling much better now.
Losing my parents have always been one of my greatest fears. I know it's inevitable because they're not getting any younger but I wish and pray that they'd stay until they're old and gray. Most of the time, we're too busy growing up that we sometimes forget they're also growing old. Now, I take every opportunity to spend time with them... Sieze the moment, as they say... Here's the most recent photo I have of me and my mom... (insert dad since he doesn't like being photographed... so he's always MIA)
