Thank you ... and my sincere condolences to you.Originally Posted by bamaman
My dad is 87; my mom is 78.
We all know our parents have to go sometime, but we hope that they are "the exception."
The real trip is ... next in line will be us
I think we as dogmen can take death better, since we're so used to losing our favorite dogs, again and again, that we develop a thicker skin about death than most people (who don't experience loss as often as we).
Silverback was the last thing I loved that I lost. It's not the same as a parent, but similar enough so that I don't like to think about it.
It will be hard to deal with when mine go ... that is one of the reasons I moved back to CA was to be close to my folks again, while they're still here.
Jack
