May I suggest as a form of therapy, writing some more about this and what your are currently feeling and turn it into a short story or book. Who knows, it may help others with less abilities one day to cope and sort things out.

Great advice. Patrick is one solid man who does indeed write well.
It is funny how families evolve. I was definitely my Mother's son. We were extremely close in all manner of traits and outlooks. She was my magnetic north until the day she died in 1990.
My Father remains a brilliant yet diffident man...slow to praise, clumsy with affection. There was a moment when I questioned why she had to die first. We have become much closer and share our love for my children, with whom he sheds the cloak of reserve.
I love them both the same, just like you did Patrick with your parents, in our own unique way. I wish you a moment in time when peace of mind is possible.
