I am sorry for your loss. It is very tough to lose a parent. I am going through that now myself.
It will probably be our last Christmas with my father this year if he makes it that far. He has Dementia along with his other illnesses that are killing him, and feel that I have already lost him because his brain is no longer functioning the same way...he is not the same person.
I miss his making milkshakes, his incredibly intelligent and insightful conversations, and being protected from harm no matter what happens. I miss that strong man that I used to lean on when things got rough. He now leans on me. I guess I am grateful that I have the opportunity to give back to him everything he gave me.
I am also starting to feel grateful for the good memories, and the anger that he will be gone soon has started to fade. It sounds like you are there too. My other friends that have lost parents have told me that each holiday season gets easier, I certainly hope so for both of us.
Thanks for sharing your memories. It is a nice reminder to be grateful for what loved ones give you.

What do I not miss would be easier. My mom has been dead ten years now. I was an only child. I could tell her anything. I miss our talks, her "look", her just being there. My dad has been dead three years and I miss him making me laugh. What a trip. He could come up with some good ones. My only child, son was killed in a car wreck two years ago. There is not a day that passes that he is not in my thoughts. I miss him like there is no tomorrow. My husband died a year ago. and so......you miss these people but carry a bit of them with you everyday. ..it just is how it is and you go on. I have some great friends and one heck of a good boyfriend I have loved, and am loved. that is what counts.

I lost my father in 1991 and my mother in 2004. I miss them both. I miss being able to go to either one for advice. I miss that they are not around for family gatherings and holidays, or see new additions to the family. My mother taught me how to cook a variety of dishes that I miss too! And my father was always helpful in fixing things whether it be your car, a leaky faucet, or installing a light fixture. I miss them for the cohesiveness they contributed for the family.

My mom passed away 2 years ago. I miss watching talk shows with her and making fun of the people on them, I miss shopping with her, I miss going out to eat and baking. I miss the way she smelled and I miss listening to her talk on the phone while I fell asleep.

First let me tell you I am soo sorry for your loss (hugs).
I lost my Dad last June, my Mom in 2001.
For me to list the things I miss about them wouldn't do it any justice.
I have realized as time goes by, I am always remembering little things I thought I had forgotten but here are some.
I miss my moms giggle, the way she was always hugging me and my kids, her cooking(even though she always managed to mess it up) lol, I miss her love......etc
I miss my Dad always wanting to show me funny he found on the Internet, as goofy as I knew it would be I always stopped whatever I was doing to go look just because I knew he would laugh so hard when he showed me. I miss his kiss good-night every night.(Yes, I made it a point to be sure and see him and kiss him every night.) I miss his chili, his bright blue eyes, listening to him tell my kids stories as their eyes lit up in fascination, I miss his love.....etc
I miss them very bad and I will die missing them.

I miss sitting down with my Dad, and just talking, or asking his advice on something. He was NOT an educated man, but had the most knowledge of any person I ever met.
