A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on me?



My parents. They met when they were 5 years old and were high school sweethearts, never dated anyone but each other and were very happily married. A true love story.

I lost my Mom to brain cancer on 1/29/00. She was 53 years old. I was 29.

I lost my Dad to kidney cancer on 4/1/04. He was 56 years old. I was 33 (I turned 34 the next day).

I miss them every single day and time hasn't healed anything for me so far. It still seems impossible that they are both gone and all the love and fun we had will never be again. I am lucky though, I have no regrets, they knew how much I loved them and how much I was going to miss them. And I talk to them every day in my own way now.
