Losing a parent is never easy, I lost my Mum when I was 22 put a dampener on my wedding which was 9 days later. Dad made it to 80. I think of that Hymn " Will the circle be unbroken"
My dad passed away 9 yrs ago from parkinsons disease. Stayed away fom music for 1 year - no shows, no guitar, no records - nothing. My mom passed away over 2 yrs ago - it sure isn't easy to be without mom & dad, and time doesn't heal the pain, it only intensifies the feeling of loss and emptiness...I feel for you and share your pain...
