Dear Dallas, Jennifer, Alexis and Renee,
I am so sorry about your losses. To lose your father and your mother in such a short time is devastating. I know you will miss them terribly in the years to come. Your children will grow up without grandparents. But I know that your parents gave you great strength and you will survive, and your children will flourish. I am your mother's first cousin, and my mother died when she was only 64. Your mother came to see her in the hospital before she died. I know they were very close. It has been more than 20 years since my mother died, and I miss her every day. So, don't expect to stop missing your parents. Just find a way to live a good life while you remember them.
