love feeling the connection on this thread. Let me start out by saying that I am 44 years old and lost my dad when I was 14 of a massive stroke (he was only 55) and then lost my mom when I was 16 to stomach & lung cancer. I have 2 brothers as well and I am the youngest of the 3 kids. My first brother died when he was a very young 36 and my other brother just passed away last year at a very young 50. Sometimes its just so hard not having any of my family here. Sometimes I miss them so much it can make me physically sick...not to mention emotionally. I have an awesome husband and 2 of the best sons a mom could ask for but its not the same. Every year for our easter vacation, my dad used to drive us to disney. We did that until I turned 13...the next year my dad passed. So, when I brought my boys to disney for their first time, it was bittersweet. I still get a tear in my eye whenever we go. So, my way of thinking after such tragedy in my life is enjoy it while you can....you never know when that moment will come. Make memories for you kids to enjoy for years to come....words & actions I live by
