PS: I'd like to add a comment here about "parents who are no longer with us".

When our Father and Mother are no longer with us, it hurts, and it's really sad to lose that "physical presence" relationship with them. BUT ... our "relationship" WITH them can NEVER end because they are alive in our minds. Our memories. And our blood. Our ways. So many ways ... our relationship lives on forever. That's a beautiful consolation as the next best thing when we can't have them "with us" physically.

I love the knowledge and memories with him that I have.
