Haven’t lost a parent yet but we value meaning from life as humans. Our parents are our first relationships as children. They try to teach us right from wrong. But they aren’t perfect. They are learning and changing at the same time we are as children. For example, your parents are not the same people they were when you were 5 years old compared to when you were 15 years old. They are different people but the memories live with you forever. The values and lessons they taught you are part of you. Whatever they are: kindness, patience, honesty, etc. They may be physically gone but those values are still with you. And when you live by those values, they are still living with you. And that’s how you honor them in the best way. So sorry for your loss 🫂
