Heartache

It's been a while since posting. Sorry about that.

It's been a tough year for everyone with the death of Nancy's Mom, Bertha LaVerne Martin, on June 17th of this year. She was 84 years old, had a good life, and will be missed by all who new her.

As I get older it gets more difficult losing people I love and respect. Prior to my Dad and Mom passing, and now with the death of my mother-in-law, I never fully understood "heartache".

Heartache to me is the feeling you have when you have been busy, working and all that, and you sit down at night, think about Dad or Mom, and you get "the feeling". You miss them, you think of good times, you think of tough times, you think of things you wish you would have said to them, but mostly you heart just hurts.

It's true that it gets better after time passes, but it never leaves me. And I don't want it to.

There is never a day that passes when I do not think of my parents and what affect their lives had on me.

Now I have no doubt that Grandma Martin will affect me the same.
