My father passed away when I was 9 over 25 years ago, the hardest moment for me was my wedding day, wow, I really needed a dad that day! My oldest brother walked me down the Isle.

I have often wondered what I would do without my mother. I was adopted at 15. She has been more than any orphan could ever hope to find. She is 75 this year. She is doing well, but I can't imagine life without her. Sometimes I think...God, could I really go on and live the rest of my life without calling my mother to find out what she thinks about things, or hear her laugh at my stupid jokes.

My heart goes out to you that have lost your mom or dad.
