Thanks for the compliment. Mom's death was a totally unexpected shock. Dad had been sick with Parkinson's for several years, and his disease advanced rapidly. I honestly don't know which is harder: Losing a parent suddenly or slowly. I do know I DID NOT want to hear SYCMIOYO for months and months after Dad's death. Finally half- listened to it again on the radio the other day.
My dad went very fast. He was literally there one second and gone the next. Was sitting around the table after a family meal one Easter, talking and laughing with us all, and then slumped over, and was gone. Man, that was the worst time of my life. I could barely function for a good 6 months. Eventually, it made me stronger, helped me to see some changes I needed to make (getting rid of about 190 lbs of dead weight - heh)...and now things are better than ever. I think he'd be happy for me.
