Yeah they're both still alive.

[Lewis.]

Luckily I still have both my parents alive but I don't know how I'd cope if one of them died.

[MTVN]

Yes, I've been really lucky that I've never lost anyone who's been really close to me

[Marsh.]

Fortunately never really lost a close relative or friend *touch wood*.

[Claymores]

Me auld dad is 81 this year and ma mum 77.

I feel guilty reading of things everyone :-(

[Claymores]

Kerster - to lose both at such an early age is unimaginable to me - but I can see you strong nevertheless.

My mum had a disabling disease that left her in constant pain since I was about six, so we never really got to experience days out much, my mum died when I was 12

Both of my parents are still alive... I'm sorry for all of your losses, I can't imagine life without my parents

I feel like this too. I have both of my parents and I bitch and whine about them all the time. I didn't realize how much I take them for granted

My mother died when I was 13, she had cancer for 4 years and was misdiagnosed three times.

Well hopefully this government repfroms the health service.... when she first got referred she had to wait 5 months for the scans....and then it took 2 more years before diagnosis.... im sure she would have had a better chance had it not being for some peoples incompetance.

it sounds like it alright, that's 2 and a half years before they even started treatment then? That's a joke.

Yep, could have been 2 and a half years that she could have been having treatment....

Now that..... that angers me. Strangely enough: I was reading something online only last week - about someone who had been going to the doctor - had something like 38 different appointments - and it was cancer of the kidneys or something. Finally diagnosed but far too late.

That saddens me greatly.

Sorry for your loss Iceman. Hell of a young age to lose your mum.

Thanks, although I never knew anything different, even with protest nothing ever happened and the so called "doctor" still practices today which is a disgrace in itself, but like they say "few voices are heard", nothing I can do now only try and make people leave the doctor.........

My mum died suddenly aged 54 from a stroke, and my dad died five years later aged 61 from lung cancer. Neither of them lived long enough to see any of their grandchildren which always saddens me.

[Beastie]

Yes.

[Lee.]

My mum's alive, my dad is dead. He died when I was 30. I had no contact from him most of my life until I was 21 when he contacted me, so I wasn't particularly close to him. I grieved forhim in my own way but I felt pty for him more than anything else as he missed out on seeing his kids grow up.

My Grandma lived with us most of my life so she was my 2nd parent. She passed away nearly 3 years ago and that hurt like hell
