Lost my dad when I was 2. He was 38 and died from electricution. So yeah, while I do have three siblings, my mother had to raise all of them on her own. The oldest was just short of 15 when he died, and the youngest was 9 months old.
While I obviously do feel sad I lost my dad, I never really got a chance to know him but I have known my mum for 52 years, so yeah it hits hard.
