Delighted to help, I am not sure about Vanilla for a boy though!
There is much more development to come, I am sure of it, if we keep travelling this path there is joy and pain to face. You have your parents to discover. I recollect HP discovering his dad and reconnecting with his father who was a great support and source of love.
Your mum sounds wonderful and kind.
