When I was a young teen, I lost my father. It was the saddest thing I have experienced. I love my dad dearly and we got along so well. There were times of course when I thought that some rules or things were unfair of course since I was a teen. I know that my dad loved me dearly and was only looking out for my best interest as fathers do. I miss him so much. I'm happy that we had such a good relationship and that he taught me so many things. He really helped me to develop into the wonderful person I'm today. He would be so proud of me.

Few years ago I lost my beloved grandfather. It was heart attack. It was so sudden and unexpected. I was devastated and for long time I couldn't got use to that he was gone. I loved him so much. He was my adviser and my friend. I could tell him everything. I miss him so much and still I can't get use to that he is not with us any more.

@koperty3 Losing a loved one is very hard. Especially when they are close to us. It is difficult when you at first everything is still trying to be rationalized. Like when we expect to see them at a certain time and they are no longer there. Life can be very short. I'm happy that you were close to your grandfather. I think it is a wonderful thing when we are close to our family and that they know we love them. That's one reason I feel it is so important to keep our priorities straight as our life, or the life of those we love could be gone in only a moment.

I'm happy that you were able to have such a close relationship with your grandmother. A lot of families now adays grandparents don't live that long to get to see their grandchildren grow up. I think it is wonderful when we are able to have such a close relationship with our family and when we put them first, as our life and theirs are precious.

I can understand not remember. At times we may have been very young that we don't remember. To not loss a loved one and experience that heartache is something to be glad about. Enjoy spending time with your family, because life is very precious.

Unfortunately, even these things happen in life and I understand perfectly well that they make you feel terrible.
Luckily I have both parents still alive, even though I know for sure that one day they will leave .... Such is life !

I've lost dear loved family members and dear loved pets. I treasure the happy memories of them in my heart and mind. It was a part of life to have the priviledge to be in their lives to experience things together. Have those special moments. Memories are priceless gifts of life!

father means a lot to me. he used to punish my bro sis and me and we even used to get beatings from him. but all those things were for our well being. i lost my father few years ago. i still follow the morals and advices he gave us. he was such a good person and is the one whom i follow as an idol in my life. at our teens we heve a feeling why our parents give us lots of advices but later on those advices have lot to do with our life. i miss him a lot.......

I can sympathize with you and your loss. It is very hard to endure the loss of a parent. They really mean a lot to us, especially when we come to appreciate all that they have done for us. Like you mentioned as we grow, and mature we benefit from their counsel when we are able to apply it in our life.
