Hi there ... it's always more tender at this time of year ... and there's no time limit on missing them ... sometimes it just helps to write it down somewhere ... and your right, there's no other hug that's like a loved parents hug ... I believe, they never leave us as long as they live in our hearts, and they just wait for us when it's our time ... and I bet he looks down on you ... and bet he'd be so proud of how much he was loved by you .... so be kind to your heart, and allow yourself the right to miss him ... these feelings are normal, it's all part of loving someone so very much ... so sending you a big hug ... chrisie xx
