It's been seven months, and I still catch myself

thinking "I've got to show this to/tell Dad about this."  Then I remember, and it's really messing with me at times.

Dad passed in 2014 and Mom in 2020 and I still catch myself planning to stop in or call them.

It has been almost 22 years and I still do this. Only the last year or so since losing mom too have I stopped actually making the call. Now I just almost call, then remember and say to myself, "Oh. Yeah. Can't." Still sucks as bad now as the first time...

It's been over a year, and I still get those episodes from time to time. I try to use it as an opportunity to remember the good things and good times I did have time to share.
But yeah, it still messes with me sometimes.

I’m 73 and my dads been gone 23 years and there are still times I wish we could talk. Moms been gone for about 7 years, with her, I participated extensively in her care. With mom I saw her disintegrate physically and mentally with dementia. She was gone long before her body quit but there was a lot less left unsaid.

Been 30 years now, and i still miss him.
Funny thing though, he's still with me in many ways, he was the most honest decent and honourable man i've known and i try my best to live up to the standards he set.
Boy could he be a cantankerous bugger if he set his mind to it.

Mum was Irish, she lived near enough 13 years after Dad died, never looked at another man, a fine woman.

I'm glad both of them weren't around over the last 2 years, they were country people, they'd have hated what the elite and political swine have done to our world.

My Dad passed last November with pancreatic cancer, likely a side effect of the Moderna "vaccine" with its pancreas RNA string, CTCCTCGGCGGGCACGTAG. I used to schedule talks with him every evening and I was his on-site care-giver until he was moved to skilled nursing for his final hospice care.
