Parents are a treasure for sure and it is so hard to lose them. 2015 is a year of losses for me, lost both my parents. I miss them…
Today at 49 I am an adult orphan, a member of the club that no one wants to join but most will. Losing my mother in June,2015 was devastating; but when I lost my father last week it changed me forever. I felt anchorless, as if I was no longer anyone’s child. I may have looked the same but something inside me shifted.
My parents are the reason I’m here. They have been the one stable point during my whole life, the constant. Yes I’m an adult and can stand alone. But there are times I still need them, times I feel very alone. I have a lovely family and wonderful friends. But they are not my parents…
