It's a treasure you will always have and in years to come, you will be so glad you have it. <br /><br />I lost my dad when I was 17 through a construction accident that I witnessed. That was 38 years ago, and I still remember it like it was yesterday. <br /><br />It will take time for you not to feel the aching pain, but you will never forget what you went through with your parents. Loss of a parent is always deep. Take the time to grieve.<br /><br />May the Lord bless you and comfort you in your time of need.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31250551.post-90054116021261714672011-09-07T23:27:07.918+01:002011-09-07T23:27:07.918+01:00You will never lose those memories Anita and you h...You will never lose those memories Anita and you have these journals to help you remember those precious times. Losing parents so close together is very painful. I lost my Mum and Dad in the space of two years and shortly after I lost one of my two brothers too, my best friend. The pain will diminish with time but the memories will always be there to cherish. Take care and yes, life does go on.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423986562925121890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31250551.post-3785184379657477202011-09-07T20:38:04.316+01:002011-09-07T20:38:04.316+01:00I was not a bit put off by your honesty.

I hope you get some much needed rest now. I know your boys need you. As you say life goes on.

Something normal and familiar during the unfamiliar. I treasure the book now, as it brings me close to her again. It's been 10 months...and tears still fall. It takes time. 16 years ago, Dad died of cancer. (They both did.) I feel for you... Thinking of you!

You see my Dad died before I started journaling, so I don't have a book like yours full of memories of me and my Dad... but I carry them in my heart.... and always will. God bless you.Capt Elaine Magliacanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919763270702138153noreply@blogger.com
