Melancholy #TBT

 🎧 Missing These Two - how very lucky I was to be loved by them.  This 1967 photo is of my proud parents admiring wee, Egghead Moi. It's one of the few keepsakes I've managed to hold on to through all the tumultuous times of my life and I treasure it. Between when it was taken and when my adored Daddy died on September 2, 1999 and my darling Mum died on November 10, 2020 there's a solid foundation of experiences that left me knowing I was cherished, just for being. My first selfish thought on both those terrible days was profoundly shocking: "I'll never be loved like that again." 

Losing a parent never gets easier. They were both taken too soon. We always want more time.
