Great news about your dad! It must help to take some of the pressure and stress off of you. I hope day 2 at work is easier than yesterday was on you.
Hopefully you'll get back on a routine shortly and not have to be so out of it. Unfortunately, our work lives are a lot like riding a bike and we never seem to forget how to do it.
Keep beaming, Sunshine. We are all basking in your warmth and glow.
RTL PS - I didn't lock it up either. Your post is now on page 15. Maybe they are biased against poor little Ali after all.
