I wrote about my father, too, because I was only 20 when he died. My mum I lost when she was 80, somehow, it did not hurt as much, I loved her dearly and I have written about her, but somehow it did not hit me as hard as my Dad. I was at a very fragile age and was just getting to know him as a person rather than a dad, if you know what I mean. I felt so cheated, because I was just beginning to see the qualities my Mum had seen in him over the years. It's so unfair, we still need parents even after we are grown up, don't we?
I am glad that I was blessed to have reached a sort of adulthood before I lost him, and blessed indeed that I was able to have my Mum for so long.
Hugs to you spareribs........ (T) ((((spareribs)))) (UK)
Know exactly what you mean about your dad marram, I was 18 and was in my second year of living in at college when my dad died, he had always worked away from home a lot and worked weird hours when he was home so between that and doing the things teenagers do I always feel that I never really knew him as a person.
Yes indeed, we still need parents even when we are grown up.
Such very special and poignant words...... very many thanks for sharing them. Sending warm and gentle hugs to you right now. xx
That was from the heart spareribs and woolwyn, thats why we must tell those we care about as often as we can, we never know when we will be without them ,hugs eve x
