I'm sorry to hear about Dadcat's dad. I'll add him to my list!! I'll bet it's tough being that far away from him.
Thanks, Mugs - you really do "walk it"!!!!
After staying here 15 years to be near them against his preferences, it's been hard on him to have Pop suddenly whisked away by older siblings that weren't around much. (His mom passed two years ago.) His siblings aren't being the most gracious, either. Sigh.
My best friend went through four years of hell with her sisters and brother when her mom died, and used to always tell me, be glad you're an only child. I hate to say it but families aren't always all that us only kids idealize them to be.
