Thank you. I've lost both my parents; I felt like an orphan even though I was 30 when my mum died and 42 when my dad left us. It's a different grief to lose a child but losing anyone as close to you as your parents is awfully hard. As I age more and more people I know are passing on. It's a reminder that my time left here is much less than what I've already had. It's so important to relish every day. Which it sounds like you do.
