I just read a news article talking about where the biggest free agents in Major League Baseball could be signing during this off season. The article predicted a couple of big names signing in Boston. I don’t know if that’s going to happen or not, but my first thought upon finishing the article was to send it to my father.
Shit.
I still have moments like this with my mother. Moments where I think to mention something to her only to then remember that she’s gone. Now I have to deal with things like that for my father too. He’s only been gone for about four months. It seems like yesterday, but also it seems like it never happened. I guess for both of my parents the reason it seems like it never happened is because I want it to have never happened.
I hate moments like this. I expect I’ll be hating them for the rest of my life. I miss my parents. This xmas is going to be tough.

Missing our loved ones is indeed heartbreaking. I’m sorry for your pain. Your parents must have been lovely people.

My dad has been gone 20 years, and Mom has been gone 17 years. It is hard for me to get through Thanksgiving and Christmas because the two of them were always present for those holidays. I feel the sense of loss from shortly before Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve. I always want these holidays to speed by. There are times still, when I want to pick up the telephone and call Mom.
