Over the past 6 months my brothers and I have lost both of our parents.  It seems like a bad dream, but every day I am reminded just how real they are.  When we first lost mom I really never hit me until we had to make funeral arrangements for her. She asked that instead of a funeral we give her a cremation costs, so we did.  She was truly a wonderful lady that spent her life caring for her children.

At the cremation service we honored her by having friends and family come and tell their favorite story about time spent with mom, it was truly touching to see the responce, and listen to many stories I had never heard.

A few months after our mom pasted away my father followed, and I truly believe he died of a broken heart. He missed my mother so much that he would rather die join her in heaven than to stay here on earth.  It was unbelievable shock to here that he had passed, but the more I think about it the happier I feel for him knowing that he is in heaven right now with mother, not having to be in pain or lonely.

These were the best parents any kids could ask for.
