I feel like life never turns out the way it should be, but life does go on.  I say that coming from being a daughter who lost her Mum to cancer when I was 16. From a daughter who lost her Dad to cancer when I was 22. Life changed drastically after my Mum passed, she was my best friend and I was so lost without her, Dad tried his hardest to be there for us, and we were here for him too. He was never the same person as when Mum was alive but we all got through it together. I became so much closer to Dad. Then Dad passed. It's the hardest thing in the world to keep moving on, but you have to do it. If not for yourself then for those around you. I'm now 23 and I'm facing a life of my parents never being there for me, if I do ever get married I won't have my Dad to walk me down the isle or if I have children, they will never get to meet them. But I get through it because I know how proud they would be of me when I do. They are gone but are always there. I'm sharing this so that you can see your children's point of view in a way.
