Nothing changes your life quite like losing a parent.Both of my parents are gone now. My dad in 2003 and my mom in 2012. Still rips me up sometimes. My mom especially. I talked to her every day on the phone and visited her almost daily. She really was my best friend. She died in a care facility when she was on blood thinners, which caused her to get a bloody nose and she choked to death on her own blood. It was the ONLY day I didnt visit her in over a month. I know if I had been in that room that day, my mom would not have died. Some people lost their job over my moms death and there was an investigation on why someone was negligent and let her die. We didnt sue them because my brother said "I am not going to sue them. Mom wanted to be with Jesus!"...Pisses me off to this day that he acted like that but dont get me started on that topic lol

Now I dont have any family at all really. But its okay. We had a great family that centered around hanging out with our parents. It brought everybody together. Now I see my 2 brothers about 2 times a year and my nephew and god daughter a few times. But ya, if you still have your parents, just embrace each day with them, because once theyre gone, theyre gone for good. Nothing is bringing them back.
