I am an adult orphan

I am an adult orphan. I am the son of nobody. Both my parents are dead. There is no gradual transition from a child in the family on the road to the orphan. One day you have the parents and the next day either. It 'was a revelation to know that there is no one to approve or disapprove of your actions more - only you. You!

It 'too hard to deal with that now represent the older generation. I was the oldest son and oldest grandson in my family. Are nowthe oldest adults. It 's my duty to continue my family values, traditions and cultural roots. This is a huge responsibility to ensure that the links between generations, my great-grandparents, my children and their children are never interrupted.

For those of you that are parents or transferred, in worse health:

Treasure your parents. Make the time to spend with them. Listen to their concerns. The price, what to say. Provide them with special thingsthey need, how to read a book or a newspaper. They have no regrets.

Maintain a link between generations. Your children need to hear the stories of their grandparents and great grandparents. You should experience the food of their ancestors. You need pictures from your parents and grandparents when they were young. You should discuss how their ancestors arrived in this country.

Recording an oral history of your family, giving your children.

Every day, thinksuch a test, or the supervision of your parents, because once it made a difference in your life.

Bring a memory of your parent (s hold) to close your heart.

And 'we the best we can, while our parents are still alive and to make disclosure of honor important. I like an orphan, but then I remember, I feel like there was a time when I was part of a very special family. No one can take my memories.

I decided to write my memories, to helpthrough the pain of the loss of their parents and thus will relieve my pain.
