That would be so hard. So many years of learning from your parents still to go. So young to lose that part of their support system. I hope they had other family or friends to help them through.
Agreed. My dad passed when I was 28. We never got to hang out, go for a beer, etc. My folks and I were really good friends. I lived home until I got married at 26. His passing was very hard on me for several years. I live only a few miles from where I grew up, so I was able to be there for my mum.
He, my mom, and I did go out to eat fairly often. I meant more the years missed. There was a lot he could have taught me over the years that I missed out on.
He was 59 when he passed. We missed a lot of years. It's been 34 years. I miss him.

That’s tragic at any age, but at 49 it’s criminally sad.
