It would have to be my Mom AND Dad. I was an only child and we were a very close family. My Mom was ill for many years before she passed and I went to her house daily to look after her. We eventually bought a house with a bigger garden so that we could build a cottage for my folks to live with us. I took care of her and she passed away exactly one year after we moved them here. Her illness and death took it out of me emotionally, I had to go on to anti depressants about 6months before she died and I got breast cancer three months after she passed. The doctors think it was from the stress. But I would do it all over again. I miss her so, I am who I am today because of her.
My Dad died very suddenly, three years after my Mom. At first I was very angry with him for leaving us, it affected my son badly, but now I just miss him.
I would love just one more day to tell them both how much I love them and how thankful I am to have had such wonderful parents.
(PS. They bought me my first Yorkie when I was 21 - 30 years ago
