Someone's Child

It recently dawned on me that I am no longer someone's child.  That realization hit me pretty hard mainly because it occurred to me so close to my first Thanksgiving without my Dad, without parents.

I am a daughter-in-law (for which I'm extremely grateful) but I am no longer someone's daughter.

I have been grappling with the fact that I no longer have parents since my Dad died in February. But, this is the first time I thought of my status in this new way. This is a pretty big one to wrap my head around and it's feeling quite daunting....

I used to be someone's child and now I'm not.  Perplexing.  Haunting......
