I still have both parents. It's terrifying to think of losing them, even though Im not that close with them.

It was hard at first but as time went by things got better. Lost my dad when I was in my 30s. The hardest part was losing my mom at 18 I'd just went off to college. Girls need their moms when they are becoming young women so that was a critical time in my life. She wasn't there for my wedding or the births of my children, every milestone felt lonely but I've learned to accept it and live my life in a way that they'd both be proud
