Both my parents did what they could, but my father was the one invested in preparing me for the world; my mother was more concerned about protecting me from it. I'm thankful now for their patience. [ But though his father might have passed, his mother is actually still alive. ] I'm sorry to hear it. Granted, loss does force a person into independence, but that doesn't make it any easier to bear.
