About Time

The loss of a parent or parents is a difficulty at any age. The trauma lasts much longer than expected, and reappears at odd moments of any given day — sometimes decades later.

I wish my folks were still around so I could ask questions — something about themselves, to find out if they experienced a certain something I’ve experienced at a certain age, or even how they’re doing.

But most of all I’d simply like to spend more time with them. If you’re a parent, a child or both make time to spend time with your loved ones before they’re gone.
