This secret from last week's PostSecret post broke my heart and brought tears to my eyes:
I don't want to think about living in a world where either of my parents does not exist... but when their time comes, I hope we will have many adventures in my dreams and that I will never be truly without them.
Um, THIS is making me cry. People ask me all the time if writing obituaries is depressing, and for the most part it's not, since I don't know the person. It really helps that I try not to think about it very much.
I've read every secret on postsecret for about a year and a half now, and for some reason, whenever I come across someone else who reads it too, it makes me feel like we have a special bond or something, I don't know. And I cry every week. I have to actually plan my day so I'm alone at the point that I'm reading Postsecret.
My name is Amanda... but you can call me Mermanda if you want to. I nest in Pittsburgh with my merman Andrew and Luke, our rescued retired racing greyhound. I'm a full-time publicist and part-time freelance writer (hire me!) with a serious addiction to sushi, live music, ginger snaps, and blawgs, of course.
What else do you need to know? I'm a surprisingly excellent thumb wrestler and I make the best grilled cheese sandwiches around. Yep, that should cover it.

Wow, that secret is the saddest thing I have ever read--you're right, it's heartbreaking :(
That one made me really sad too when I read it.
It very very very often makes me cry!
And I totally feel the same way about all four of my parents, even if I don't always get along with them!
