I still have conversations with my father, though he's been dead 10 years. I just enjoy thinking about him now and again. It was more difficult to do that for several weeks after he died but I now find it more a comfort than upsetting. My mother still walks this earth at age 94 and I don't know how much longer she will last but at least she is still painting canvases and is mentally alert. I certainly will miss her too when she is gone but her presence will also continue. I wouldn't want it any other way.
