But there's this void, the place that they used to occupy, and I don't like it.
I understand what you mean - the loss of my father, more recently an aunt and lots more of their generation, leaves a void - there is no one standing between us and mortality. We are next.
We are the adults now - and one of the things I hate about being the grown up is that there is no one to complain to! - we must take responsibility for ourselves and live each day as if it is the last.
