I am so glad you returned with an update. The courses you are taking sound interesting and fun.
I am also glad your mum is still w/you and your family. Your dad and mum have been together a very long time and when the time comes, and one of them crosses over, it will be very difficult for the other one to continue moving forward. Cherish those times you spend w/them. They have seen a lot and have loads of wise advise to still hand out.
Don't be a stranger...we are always here and are happy when one of our family returns, even if it's just for a brief visit. Sotto, please take care of yourself.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
