    My parents died when I was young. Seeing other people’s adult relationships with their parents is so foreign to me. My parents are frozen in time in my memories, and I can’t imagine what their lives were really like or what kind of People they were.

      Same. My mother died when I was 26. My step mother is now 70, and her mother just died a couple months ago.

      I can’t imagine my mother still being here, and still being here until I’m old.
