Great thoughts...my Dad died right before my 18th birthday and it's still a big gap in my life. I'm told I'm a "carbon copy" of him and my mothers friends, when they haven't seen me in awhile, sometimes react very strongly because they say I remind them of him at "my age." It's a touching and jarring experience at the same time.

@jrsnyderjr Interesting comment & have you ever wondered what your Dad might have looked like as he aged? I am always wondering what my mother's smiling face would have looked like, say, in her seventies. Thanks & Hugs

Beautiful! Thank you. I lost my mother at 18 as well and early this year celebrated my 39th with no parents. I never failed to tell my dad that I loved him and I would go cook meals, mow grass, and other little things. It's what you do for those you love. I was too young when my mother died to appreciate these things as fully, yet because of her, I learned sooner than I might have and have grasped every opportunity. Be kind to yourself and share the light often. Blessings!

@SomebodyIusedtoknow thanks so much. :-)

@bugsinrug Yes! I wonder that a lot (what he would have looked like). If I look like him now as he did in his fifties, how would he look now in his eighties? Would that be what I would look like in 30 years?

I was so lucky, my parents were just right for each other and married for 30 years before he passed away. They were very good parents and my sister and I had a very happy childhood. My mother never remarried because she said she could never find such a good match again!

Chris, I've been so busy with school lately and finally had some time to come catch up on your videos. This one moved me to tears. I commented on your older video about your mother, and still I feel compelled to comment here as well. I thank you for making videos like this; it inspires me to continue to be the best son I can be to my parents. I'm turning 20 in November, but I'm already realizing how fast life goes by, and how the unexpected happens all too often. Thank you... ~Hugs, Caleb
