Grieving and Living

We moved back to Texas from Guam in 2019 because my parents were old, sick, and frail. We needed to be closer than three plane rides and 21 hours away. My mother passed on January 2, 2025. She and my father had been married for almost 66 years.  Since then, we've seen them probably twice a year. However, as we live in Houston and they were in Lubbock, it was a ten-hour drive, so we didn't go that often. 

I called my father yesterday. He was visiting my mother's grave. He was almost weeping as he said how much he missed her.  I'm glad I called. It gave him someone to talk to, and he needed that. My wife and I have been married for 39 years. I can at least vicariously understand his grief. I know how much I would miss Kim if she were gone. Like I said, I'm glad I called, but I didn't know what to say. I just listened.
