I’ve realised that I have probably never really faced up to the fact that one day I’d lose my parents. I know it seems obvious it would happen but growing up they were always there, being supportive and loving. There was no fear they’d ever leave. Then even when they aged and health failed I never really thought I’d lose them. People along the way say things like appreciate your loved ones if you still have them, but somehow I still think I believed they were invincible. Life without them wasn’t something I could comprehend and I gave it no thought. Now the reality seems hard to believe and impossible to accept.
