I can only imagine how it must feel to lose a parent. Both of mine are still alive, and I know one day I will be where you are today; I hope YOU have words of wisdom for me when that time comes for me. I, like you, am close to my parents and while in the back of my mind I know they will not be here forever, I realize how hard it will be and have no clue as to how to deal with it. The loss of my brother was a hard blow; I know mom & dad will be harder. Know you are in our thoughts. I am sorry you or anyone else must ever travel this road but we all will. Draw strength from family and those who have traveled it before you. Unfortunately, I have no words of wisdom that will ease the pain.......
