6. 2003 - both my parents died within a few months of each other

Fri Oct 3, 2014, 11:15 PM

Oct 2014

And I didn't get to see them or in the case of my mom, even talk to her at the end.

They were both in their late 80's so it wasn't totally unexpected, but my mom never let on how sick she was. My dad went into a coma 2 or 3 months later and we eventually had to pull the plug. But they were in the midwest, hundreds of miles from here and so I wasn't aware of how poor their health actually was.
