My parents, my mother when I was 19 and my father when I was 28.
When my mom died, I knew that it would affect me. Never again would I be able to seek her advice, listen to her nag, argue with her. She never had the chance to know my daughter. It has been rough not having her as a constant in my life.
With my dad, he helped me with my daughter, helped me financially, etc. But he shared so many stories of my mom, stories I had never heard and that she never would've dared tell me. So, when he died, not only did I grieve for him, but I felt like I had lost that final connection to my mother. The only comfort I found was knowing that my dad was finally with my mom again.
In the end, I have grown to realize that nothing in life is guaranteed. There will always be some form of loss, an obstacle, a detour we're forced to take now and again. It's just what you make of it.

the opportunity to become a better competitive swimmer. I quit in 8th grade and started again this year. I go a 24.60 seconds for 50 yards, only after 5 months of training. If only I had continued in 8th grade, and not quit...who knows where I would be now?
But on the brighter side, I'm getting better and I love swimming!

I would be my father. I was place in a compartment in a Chinese fisherman's boat sent away to another country when I was 11 years old. Landed in Malaysia and lived there by myself for 3 years, got sponsored and came to the US when I was 14 and. My family is very poor and my father passed away when I was 17 yrs old. Did not have a chance to see him one last time and pay my respect. I guest I will have to live the rest of my life in anguish and guilt. Who would of thought that when I turned around at the bus stop and looked at my father and mother when I turned 11 was the last time I saw my father. I am working very hard to save up money and go back to see my mother and younger sibling. But the fact that I was not there when my father took his last breath eats me up inside one day at a time.....BAD

My Father.It has made me appreciate life and taught me the importance of being a good parent. This loss has also made realize you really don't comprehend or scratch the surface of this word and the true meaning till....you find yourself there as I did that sunny afternoon when he died in my arms. You do go on with life but you will never be the same.

A man that loved me and respected me and wanted to be with me only. I lost him to cancer. It affected cuz I thought that if I was a good enough woman that the next time I got the chance to love a a man I would love him and work thru anything and not give up. I tried that with my son's dad even though our past has been rocky bc of his addictions and imprisonment i decided to work it out one more time and he still burned me. I can't make mistakes like that anymore.

I gained a golden angel necklace that had my birthstone on it years in the past from my mom. I continuously seen it my father or mom angel. approximately 3 years in the past as quickly as we packed up and moved from Nevada to Colorado, it have been given lost interior the flow. in fact all my rings that have been given packed jointly have been given lost (yet, i don't positioned on rings oftentimes adequate to spend hundreds of greenbacks on it, so this is somewhat perchance, at maximum, $20 a bite - I purely wanted to place that accessible so human beings does not think of it replaced into hundreds of greenbacks nicely worth of rings). could this characterize the movers dropping it or me? i think of it is going the two strategies. I could have paid greater advantageous interest to the place I packed it.

The most important things I ever lost was my childhood, I think. I miss it and wish things were as easy now as they were then.

As far as I am concerned, " the moments which i just neglected, maybe due to some misunderstanding or anger or so.".
Anyhow, now i try to make each second worthful so that i don't regret as i do now.
Happy New Year .
