My Dad, like yours, was here one day and gone the next at the young age of 69. Like a flower, he was plucked from the earth in an instant. And your Mom, 51...so young!

I too have lost both parents and it's so tough. There deaths as well as my cancer diagnosis in '04' made me really listen to that song.

When my dad died, I was again devastated but not broken beyond repair because I prepared myself for the inevitable instead of denying the obvious. I learned from both of them to live each day as if it was my last.
