    I had a pretty messed up childhood. However, I still hate to think of when that time comes for them. They're both in their 50's, and I'm starting to see how much they've aged and how tired they're getting. I feel bad for my parents. I hope their lives have been fulfilling and continue to be so.

    I must say if my parents pass away i will be saddened because i never really grown to know them. My mother never wanted to know her child, rejected me called me dumb stupid and whatever she chose to do. The first time she ever said she loved me was on my wedding day 3 years ago . I told her i tauht in the Sunday school room and dhe said whatdid they do to you?? Yes mom i'm grown?? 27 now but 24 when i married. I never was really treated fairly . She never calls never wants to talk or she'll never come to see me. I have to fight my dad to come see me and ehen hes here he fights with me nd my husband about our lifestyle. Because i was a sick child and they had the ability to make descisions for me, and now they can't i think they understand theres boundaries. I don't know what i'd do if they would die. I was really close in telling them my health situations and everything that went on because if something were to happen thy were the ones to help me. I would be really sad if my mom died because i never got the chance to know my mom go out with my mom understand my mom love my mom the way others do when children/adults go shopping hand in hand and the other hand has the purse and both of them have smiles. I always got the oh shut up and go away. I'm a very closed person and judgemental person because of everything that went on in my life i don't mean to be but i am trying to change. i love people and would help them to my full potential. I just don't know

    Its funny b/c i was really pissed at my mother a few months back and she plays these stupid friggin head games with my sister and I so i started writing her death speech. Which to me is a very Cold one. Because i never knew my mother so how /what should i say? make up a lie?? Oh yah everyone she was great fantastic i should have my dad her ex husband go up there and make a fool out of her just for the way she treated me. My life will never be the same when they die for sure

    Both of my parents are gone. My father left us when I was 6. Yes, he would come and visit from time to time (not very often). I was in the Navy when he died. I told my mother that if he was to die, get in touch with the red cross and I can come it for leave. I wasn't concerned about going to his funeral but just to get leave (vacation). When I got the message he did die, I was hit hard. I never got to know him really. I would have liked to have known him as an adult.

    My mother passed away 2 years ago. It was the day before Mother's day. We got a call at about 6 am. My wife got up and answered it. It was my brother telling her she had gone. I felt as if my whole insides had been taken out. She was an extraordinary person. I'll always love her.

    Truely one of the hardest days of my life when I buried my Father and Mother. My mother left a year and a half ago a very sad day.

    I'll go on with my life like I always do.
    Death turns people into dreams, and you can't spend your entire life crying over them.

    ^ it still doesn't reduce the sadness of lose. My aunt died a little over a year ago. About 4 mos later her son (my cousin) died. A few weeks later his father (my uncle) died and now, I just heard my other cousin (the brother/son) just died. There's only one left in their family. That sucked.

    Sounds like someone doesn't like their family.
    I'm not saying I wouldn't be sad for a time, but after a while I would let go of my sadness and move on with my life.

    Bury them and thank God for taking them out of this world of lies and injustice. Not quite sure what comes next, but anything has to be better then the madness of human society.

    Nothing heals the pain of loss like time. If you lose someone very close you get used to the fact they are gone and the norm returns. Luckily we don't have to miss them too long.

    I've buried one of four (that I know...I have biological parents somewhere).
    HE was in pain, so for him, it was liberating. The family had a lot of issues to deal with, especially my mom. They'd been together 24 years. They always depended on two incomes. They had a weird but close relationship.
    She still misses him. Moved out of the home they shared to something smaller and cheaper to maintain.

    I still miss having his life experience to draw from. Making do with how would Don see this? only gets me so far.
    My Kiddo misses him as well.

    yes the pain lessons, but never ever goes completely away. A song, a scent, anything seemingly insignificant can and does trigger emotional response that you can never see coming.
    Always remember, We don't own this world, we just pass thru it....:)

    yep. Don turned me to the music I love today, so there's a lot of shared history there.
    Four Way Street is really hard to listen to, but...it's such a good album.
