*hugs and loves* Yes. After Dave, I did the same thing, only I had help (Doug). You did it on your own (though it looks like your mother helped a little?) and I really am amazed by that--that took a lot of strength. *hugs* I'm really glad you got the promotion, that you're back (even if you don't post much), and that you're doing well.

I've just spent the past couple hours reading back some of my archives and it's rewarding to see that I've still come out not 'worse for the wear'. :D

It's different for me just as any two individuals' tales are different but my parents home was in Los Angeles and I didn't live there any more and they retired to an island off the coast of BC Canada.

It was very hard to not have that home base to go back to, but in the end, LA was home and here I am. :)
