Having just lost both my parents recently (they died almost
a year apart
which was ironic as they had not been together for over two
decades),
the words were quite poignant. Although my relationship
with either of
them was not always smooth sailing, and we had drifted in
and out of
touch both due to geographic location and illness, the
finality of their no
longer being alive continues to come back now and then.
I appreciate your having shared the words that you sent.
