My father and I were very close but he passed away several years ago. 
My mom and I have an extremely awkward relationship.
Do you have any nieces or nephews?

Bless you and the beautiful light of your father also.

That I can relate with in the past tense and very tense it used to be too.

I do ~ seven nephews on account of four brothers, and either a niece or a nephew in five months perhaps on account of a sister.
How about you?

Thank you. My father was a remarkable man and a (literal) hero. He died on Christmas Eve, so that makes it even worse.
My brother adopted his foster-child, and has been a single parent. I've been the quasi-mother figure. It's unusual but it works.

Ouch on the departure time ~ yet total bonus with your father having hero status for you though, and a bonus for your father too no doubt.

My mother and step father did emergency fostering for a number of years, and I have known a few people doing as you describe, so not so unusual in my experience. Vicarious and quasi parenting is rather the done thing though methinks ~ nice one
lovely

lovely Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate it as I've had a lot on my mind as of late. My brother and I haven't lived together while raising his child, but we tag-teamed a lot of responsibilities and managed fairly well despite some obvious hurdles. His child moved away for work but is returning any day now, so it will be very nice to catch up.
I have a headache and I'm nodding off, but it's been nice chatting and playing word games today. Thanks for the diversion.
I hope to chat again soon.

Your very welcome indeed, and I am very glad to have been of some assistance.

Well there is no greater thing than the love of and for children ~ all the sister and quasi-mother power to you in your heart there.

Not a bonus on the headache, yet the chatting and the word games very much a bonus ~ most especially the run on the 28/05/18 with:
