You’re in my thoughts. It was when I lost my father ten years ago that I suddenly felt like I was irretrievably an adult, because a support that had always been there had suddenly been kicked out from under me. My mother, bless her, is still around, so I haven’t reached the crossroads that you have, but my heart goes out to you.
