One never really grows up until you lose both parents

I lost my Dad in June 2020 and my mom quickly followed him , she passed just mere 5 months later Nov 2020 . They were in their early 80s and yes I know they lived a good long life but they didn’t live long enough. I always thought after I reached 40 that I was grown up but was I never more wrong. I honestly don’t think that I grew up until they passed. I had to remind myself several times a day that they aren’t here anymore, they aren’t here to answer my questions on how to cook a certain meal or when should I plant a garden or I can’t share some good news
about a family member but most of all I can’t talk to them when I’m troubled and need advice. I’ve never felt so alone in this world as I did when the both of them passed. I cry often especially if I hear a certain song or make their favorite food or just simply remember that they are no longer here. My dad was my hero, my mom was my best friend and now I’m struggling to find the answers to my own questions and asking myself what would mom or dad say to me about this situation,
