Nothing prepared me for the constant loss of being a parent. The child you love so much you ache just thinking about them is gone every time you look around.
They're a new person, that you love just as much as who they were, but who they were is gone.
When I look at photos of them as toddlers.. I'm just really lucky that I know this feeling. I think that's where the hurt in loving something so much it hurts resides. To really love something is to appreciate, to feel it's finality.
