remembering...
This is a random post. This is more for me than anyone else. I found out that a childhood friend of mine lost her dad tonight. I was with my sister when we found out and we sat and talked about how much it sucks. We talked about how it sickens us because we know how hard the days ahead will be. Losing a parent is awful, to put it lightly, no matter what stage of life you are in when it happens. It might be nice to be ignorant of how it feels and to just feel sad for someone instead of really knowing how it feels. But, on the other hand, I think of those I have been able to relate to who have had similar experiences and the friendships that have been strengthened. I miss my mom every day, but I am grateful that my experience has helped me to help others.

My heart breaks for you, and now Heidy, I woke up this morning still in shock that this whole thing has happened. You will be a strength for her because you understand her feelings...
ReplyDeleteIt must be sickening. At this point it looks like probably my parents will be old and tired/limited enough when they die that we'll have to be happy for them, but the thought of losing either one of them makes me feel orphaned and vulnerable even at the age of 45. It must be really hard!
