I haven’t gotten the nerve up yet to listen to all the old voicemails that are still on my phone. It sucks to not have either parent around, but life goes on I guess.

My mother passed away when I was 17. My father is currently hanging on with stage 4 COPD. Heavy smoker all his life.
As bad as it sucks, it's a son/daughter's job to bury their parents. That's what I hold onto. I don't think I realized that until I had children.
