Hi Lee, I was not on the forum when you originally posted so never heard your story, but I can relate to a portion. I lost my parents ten days apart and even at age 43 I felt like an orphan. I lived just a mile away so spent quite a bit of time with them over the years and the loss was devastating, losing parents who loved me unconditionally.
Thankfully for me, I have a husband, two sons and four siblings, which helped immensely. I am so sorry for your losses, but it sounds like you are now doing remarkably well. May more good things be in your future and thanks for sharing your update.
