Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc.
November 19, 2020
I woke this morning without a mother
I didn’t see you yesterday
When you breathed your last
I think you did it because I wasn’t there
Daddy died years ago
In my second semester
I almost failed out
I awoke today
With no parents
It’s the first and the last

“It's Amy,” I said. 
No words, yet I must say something.

It’s an awful feeling. Even at 50 I felt orphaned.

I understand. I’ve talked to 70 year olds who still hurt from the losses.

Amy,
I’m speechless.
That is very succinct, yet incredibly powerful.
I’m sorry for your losses.

They did not orphan you, they raised you. You will always have them. They raised you all the way through adulthood, right? I miss my mom since 2014, but she is still with me. Almost everywhere!
Hang in there, love the journey.
Best wishes,
Eduardo
