Thank you. It was the opposite for my father, who had been sick for many, many years (my entire childhood)...but at least we got to say goodbye to him, even though we were surprised when he went. It was ‘normal’ for him to go in the hospital then come home, so the last time we were shocked when he didn’t come home. He was 39. :-( Wish that I’d gotten to know both of them better now that I’m a mom myself.

Oh my gosh! Your father was even younger! I am so very sorry.

Not that this makes everything better but your father and your mother knew that you loved them. And no doubt they loved you more than they would ever be able to tell you. So they would know, even if you could not say goodbye, how much you loved them.

It’s not the best way, but it may help.

God bless you and your brother.
