Are both your parents still alive?

My mother died when she was just 42.I was 17. My dad is alive and well at 85,and he remarried a truly wonderful woman who I am very close to.Their 40th wedding anniversary will be in December!

Neither of mine are alive any more.
They would be over 100 if they were.

My died died just 7 months after my daughter did -he never got over this.

My Mum died about 4 years later, so I am an orphan!!

I still have a brother in Sydney (I am in Perth), and my parents were still together and happy when my Dad died.

My mom is still alive but my dad is lost at sea. Seven years ago, he went fishing and never came back.

How awful Gia....it is not knowing that is horrible?

I actually lost a brother a year and a half before so in a strange way that somewhat softened the blow.

Yes, I know what you mean Gia....my blow of my parents dying was so softened by my daughter dying beforehand.
regards

That is tragic, I am so sorry.

Oh, Gia, that made me cry. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope he is watching over you. x x

Yes thankfully they are both still alive. In 2 weeks time they are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary.

No my parents passed away some years ago.

My Father would be 105 this year if he was still alive.
My Mother would have been 103 this Oct.

They are both alive and still live together.

Neither. My Mother died of recurrent cancer, one month after I married. She was 63. I still miss her terribly.

My Father died of a heart attack at 82, whilst I on flight from Perth, where'd I gone for work, for a couple of days. Miss him, too.

My parents divorced when I was 13. Not a happy teenage hood, had I, as consequence. Threw myself into my schoolwork, & sport, which was a great comfort to me.

My parents are both no longer of this world, but in my mind they are still alive.

Both of my parents have passed away (my father firstly, shortly after their 45th wedding anniversary). Being in a shared grave though, they are (and always will be) together.

No, both parents are dead.
My RAF father was killed during the 2nd World War when his plane was shot down and he was declared "missing, presumed killed". My mother was left a widow at 20, and I was six weeks old, so I never knew him.
My mother, who was amazing, died from cancer when she was 52 - a terrible loss!

Both dead

by anneg

Yes they are.

by Sharm Jay

My father was 12 years older than my mother. He died of cancer, 3 weeks after my 30th birthday, aged 68, my age now! My mother will be 94 in Nov ’15, My husband is 70, & he still has his mother, who’s nearly 92, & a stepfather, who’s nearly 86. Yes, they are still happily together, & have been married for over 55 years.

Both gone too soon, of different illnesses, which we never expected at all. It was so cruel. They should have had about 25 years more each :((

My parents were still together when my father died. He commited suicide. He was not a nice man.
Mum is still alive and enjoying doing what she wants without a domineering prescence in her life.

My mus is still alive, but dad passed away in September last year a few days before his birthday, it was a difficult time for me, when I was younger, I used to go to funerals, the first one was my grandfather's, I allways used to think my parents were indestructible and that they would allways be here for me!

by Diana Nairn

Yes they are both still alive, and still living in the same house I grew up in.
