it hits hard

This Tuesday I cried a lot, my grandfather died, but I didn’t cry for him, I cried for my father and the suffering he was going through, and these days I was thinking about what I was going to suffer when my father died.

My parents died of cancer already. The feeling is hard to describe when your parents are gone, it’s like a sinking lonely empty feeling – even when you’re an adult in your 30’s. You could have the best of friends and the best wife ever, but when parents are gone or reality sets in about them getting old, it’s a weird hold or wound that I’ve never heard anyone talk about before – It’s like you have to experience it for yourself to know it exists…

Don’t make me think of that 😔

Do like me, have your parents pass away when you’re young, speedrun depression!

Jokes aside, spend time with them. Tell them what you’ve always wanted to and ask them things you want to know while you can. Cherish what you have <3

Weird because I stumbled upon a community that they do not want to take responsibility of their aging parents by taking care of them because their whole lives have a lot of oppurtunities being offered and they don’t want to be held back. They are mostly Gen Z’s, who are actually around my age. 😞

A reminder to give them more hugs, more time, and more love while we can

Growing up my dad was the strongest person I knew. He could lift anything, fix anything, and be the most stoic person in the room. That was until my mom died at 56. I’m 32 and sold my house to move back home with him and now I see that he’s getting old. But he goes to the gym with me and today helped me work on my truck. I can see the toll life has taken on him from working in coal mines and being a mechanic but that doesn’t seem to slow him down. I think that age doesn’t make a difference if you have the right mindset and seeing your parents get old is a blessing. I wish I could has seen my mom 20 years from now.

at some point you will reach the age your parents were when you were a child

Feel lucky that you have such great parents that you will miss them when they die. Some of us blow out our birthday candles wishing for ours to push up daisies. Cherish and love your parents for whatever time you have left, you are one of the blessed.

Cutting onions…cherish them daily while u have them, if possible make babies and give them the trophy B4 it’s 2 late cuz when they pass u will think of their food and memories

Wanna know what happens next?

Mine are also getting old 🎉✨

Don’t remind me
