I guess a parent's job is to prepare their children for the world, to equip them to deal with all aspects of it, including loss. It's ironic that one needs to apply that to the loss of the parent at some stage.
I've lost both of mine and miss them too, but they helped me become the man I am and I'm grateful.

We are fortunate to have had good parents. I am also thankful for my parents.
I think the same as you, our parents teach us and prepare us to face life in the best way. Now I know, because when I think of my children, I only want them to be happy, and to know how to live and enjoy life when I am gone. I guess the same thing happened to my parents.
I am also an orphan. My dad died 14 months before my mom. It was pretty tough losing both of them in such a short time. But here I am, following in his footsteps on the right track and trying every day to do my best.
I suppose that "missing" is a selfish desire to want that the good and the beautiful of someone or something will continue with us.
Thank you @galenkp for creating this space to share and make new friends and for motivating us to share our experiences and opinions.
I don't think missing someone is selfish at all - It's just human. We all do it in some way.
Thanks for getting involved again this week, it's good to have you here.
