Those hugs and condolences help, honestly.

I was just talking about this with my sister yesterday. How it's easier to write down what I'm feeling that say it out loud. She's the same, I learned so much more about her fears via her facebook comments and posts. So it helps loads to know people are out there reading and thinking of us.

Losing a parent does suck. I know it's not possible but I wish everyone could go through life without knowing the feeling.
