I was adopted after 10 years of infertility. I think it's hard for people with younger parents to understand the pain of being an adult and having those last vestiges of childhood pulled out from under one's feet, as the parents who have provided stability throughout one's life pass on. The older I get, the more the reality of my parents' mortality sinks in, and the more I cherish the time that I have with them. I know it's hard when those around you don't understand. Hang in there the best that you can.

I know you don't like to ...Thank you, Safepres. I know you don't like to divulge a lot of information, but are you around my age? I'm 25. It seems that most people with parents my age are older than I am, a majority of the time. It makes it hard for my friends to really "get it" and a lot of them have been MIA since I've lost my dad. Everyone always knew how close I was to him...and none of them have dads near his age, so it's just not clicking.CCKlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01595435875402929138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762973281804900132.post-30092422292189868662012-12-19T20:24:24.557-08:002012-12-19T20:24:24.557-08:00I am so, so sorry.
