Some days are so much harder than others [I Miss You So Much]

I miss my parents every single day - it’s been 12 years since I lost them. They were killed in an accident when I was 7 years old. Some days are always harder than others…birthdays and Christmas, while celebrated, are always tinged with a sadness. Planning my future, it constantly hits me that they won’t be there for my big achievements, my milestones or even just to be part of the journey. The hardest days though, for me, are always Father’s Day and Mother’s Day - everywhere I go there are reminders…cards I’ll never get to buy, adverts for celebrations I can’t have, all over social media are posts gushing about parents and photos of everyone celebrating together and it feels like the knife in me is just twisting. I’d give anything to have one more day, one more memory, to hear their voices or most of all to have one more hug.

I hate this day so much
