Thank you all...
It was beautiful.
I've started a new thread, just to complete our journey, and I hope not to have to post much more or any really...I'm going to focus on taking those baby steps at having my own life and having mum (and now dad) as wonderful memories. I want to cherish them, not be sad anymore, and make them proud.
I know I may stumble, but I'm wearing sensible shoes...
