No, I never did tell them because they both were abusive and obsessed with making money. They used us as employees in there various businesses during my growing up years.
I did love them, though.
I told them both that I loved them before they each died. Lucky me.
My father and I had a long conversation about three weeks before he passed. He expressed his love for all of us, his kids that is, saying how proud he was and that none of us caused him any worry. He was ready to meet his maker, at peace with the world and with us.
When I put him on a plane a few days later, I instinctively knew I’d never see him alive again. Two weeks later, he was gone. I was the one who figured that out from 1800 miles away and sent my sister and my aunt to check on him. They confirmed our worst fears. They said he looked quite peaceful - as if, he laid down for a nap.
About a year later, his mother, my grandmother, passed away and a few months after that, my mom, who suffered from dementia, passed away. It was quite an eventful 18 months.

Glad you had a good conversation with him before he passed away. Sorry for your loss.

It seems to work that way. They come in bunches. My same-age 61-year-old cousin died in early December, and my uncle, my mother's youngest and only surviving sibling is in liver and kidney failure and was put on hospice the other day. He is 81. My mother is the oldest of four and at 91 still has a living uncle who is 95.
I tell my mother I love her every time we part, because at that age, you never know. Last time I hugged her so hard I could hear her shoulder creak, and we laughed about it.
