Re: Losing our parents

Wow I'm sorry Faldoe, that's rough stuff. 
As for my own father, ehhhh. I see him all the time, but I have absolutely zero relationship with or feelings for him. I love my mother fiercely, but father has always been a fucking brick wall. I've tried to have heart-to-hearts with him, and there's just nothing there. I thought maybe giving him a grandson would soften him a bit, but it hasn't. He's nice to my son, but still treats me like I'm furniture. It's going to be strange when he passes, because I feel like I should feel some sense of loss, but I'm also not going to fake it just for appearances.
