My Dad died the night of Memorial Day, 2005 and I'm not sure I'm over it. I find myself daydreaming about our going fishing, just the two of us (I'm the 2nd of 5), in our little flat boat and really miss that. I even think about how I loved how he would tie my cleats so tight so the shoestrings wouldn't come undone as a six year old, how he so enjoyed a State Championship Game run my Soph year, and the letter he wrote me the day of the CG telling me how proud of me he was, him holding my children for the first time, jumping into the pool fully clothed after beating USC in the 98 CWS, but mostly, his last words to me hours before he went Home, "I Love You, son."
Dang, sorry for getting carried away.

Dealing with the death of a parent at a young age is a lot more difficult than doing it as 35+.
Most would say that parents dying before their children is the correct order of things.
Just imagine how difficult it would be for them to have to bury you!
Life goes on!
