Adywan,
I lost my father in late 08, he was a God to me.
I have yet to go a single day without thinking of him {tears are always close then, but so is a grin when I think of something cool that he did}.
Losing my Dad hurt more than almost anything I have ever experienced, But...I was right there when he died and I am glad I saw him off.
A mother who gave such a fine and talented son to this world is a great loss indeed and I hope you can make peace with this terrible loss at some point.
Thank You for all you have given us and know that the hurt does ease a little eventually.
