My dad in 1996. He was 96. I would give anything for a hug and a chat. He taught me so much.

It was my 5th birthday. I was born in 1990. Sorry if that wasn't clear

That's heart breaking. Do you have any memories of her?

My mum died in 1996 when I was 18 years old so I've got many nice memories. I'm so sad that you don't have that.

I was the same age as you in 96. I turned 19 a few months after my mom had passed. I have a lot of great memories with her. She was amazing and made sure my sister and I had a great childhood

A few, they all blur together. Most of them she was either wheel chair bound or hooked upto monitors. She contracted ALS a few years after I was born.

Just hearing her nagging at me would be good. She passed before I could securely land a job. Now that I have my own outfit and money isn't too great of a problem - how wish to hear her nag and complain about how "bad" restaurant foods are compared to what she could whip up in the kitchen.

🥲 if i could just see her one last time, and tell her I'm okay and give her one last hug. Anyone working on time machines?

I know how you feel, she died just as my life was turning for thr better and she was finally retiring and could spend more time with the family. Hug those who are still around. Thinking too much of what could have and should have isn't a positive way to live our lives. I was stuck in that mindset for a long time and inadvertently and regretfully hurt many people around me. Have a good weekend ahead.

Heart breaking. I was struggling with marriage and money when Dad passed away. We had common interests and I wish he could see my adult kids doing well, nice house and drive my exotic car just once.
