Hello, Dar: What a well-written post about a very sensitive topic. I know this time in my life, losing my parents, is not far away. Your post helps me to have a new perspective. Thank you for giving us the proper insight.

A very touching story Dar,
one that sets us thinking about our parents and the future. I love your analogy of death being likened to walking from one room to another. This is just how I see it, we are infinite energy, so we will always be, simply in another form.
Thanks for sharing.
To Infinite Energy.

Darlene~
Beautiful~ You are beautiful! I am touched to the core with this post. I’m very grateful that both my parents are still alive and well. My heart goes out to all of you who have lost parents. I know that this is the way it should be, parents dying before us, but just like all ‘shoulds’ it’s not easy. I’m happy for you that you can feel the goodness of friends, and share your friendship with others. I’m expecially happy to be one of them.

Love,
~Linda

Hi Dar, this was a bittersweet post. I am an orphan too. Both my parents died in my forty’s.. I miss them terribly, but life goes on. You’re right about the freedom. In many ways I became more of myself, stronger, found my “voice”,But still miss them … thanks for a lovely post. I hope Nancy is doing okay. It takes a while to adjust…

Wow Darlene! This one made me cry. I lost my dad a few years ago and every time I get in the car lately I hear the song that was played at his funeral. I feel like he is there with me while I am driving. I like how you say to take what you admired most about that person and incorporate that quality into your own life. Thanks for sharing this post!
