"I was in my early-20s when my parents died and I've missed them sorely forever but, interestingly, now that I'm almost old, not having them stings more than ever. At age 61, I would give absolutely anything to hold Mama's hand and sit on Daddy's lap just one more time. FYI, Daddy was a real character and well-loved by everyone who knew him. He smoked unfiltered Camels and Chesterfields and drank heavily (usually Seagram's 7) and cursed good-naturedly (called friends SOB). And, with all that, he was the very best husband, father, friend, provider - indeed, man - ever. The entire town of Williston closed down for Daddy's funeral."
