Does anyone still miss their parents?

I'd love to have a good old chat with my mum again.
We lost that, due to the fact that she wouldn't even consider earing aids, so it was barely worth talking together like we used to.

Earing aids. 🤭

My dad had "earing" aids, kept the damned things switched off "to save the batteries"

My mum used to do that with her mobile phone.
Turn it on, make a call, then turn it off again, so you couldn't reach her, and ended up having to go round and check she was OK.

My darling Mum died 7 1/2 years ago, I think about her every day, it gets easier, but my heart still aches.

I think about my Dad and I do miss him, but in a different sort of way…

Oh yes , more than I can say. they both died in their mid-50s within a year of each other. Both sudden and unexpected. I have children coming up to the age of my parents' death now. I was lucky to have wonderful parents and I am lucky to have an amazing husband and children and grandchildren but in a quiet private moment I sometimes still shed a tear for my parents.

Yes, my father was only just 60 and now I am 72. I think how much of his life he missed and how long my mother lived alone: 30 years.

Yes very much so miss both mum n dad. I’ve always missed them mum died in 03 dad in 2015. I don’t know why but I find myself thinking about them more as I get older

I think this must happen a lot, my mum in her last years talked a lot about her mum and dad and her brother and sister that had passed. She often looked very sad and wistful when talking about them.
She used to say she wanted to be young again and part of a family, she hated living alone and was very lonely. There’s nothing to get old for is there
