For people whose parents are deceased

Both of my parents are gone. My dad committed suicide in 2007 the week before Father's Day. My mama passed away the week before Christmas in 2012 from brain cancer.

It changed me a lot. My depression got worse along with my drinking. I was close to my parents because no matter what stupid choices I made they didn't judge me. They were there when I needed advice. Their deaths were difficult for everyone because my parents touched the lives of many people.

I miss being able to pick up the phone and call. I miss Sunday dinners and our holiday get togethers. I miss them more than words could ever say 😔
