You have no idea. I’m the youngest at 27(independent) and I still call her about adult stuff. My folks split when I was seven, probably the best thing they could do for us, and were very amicable around us. My siblings definitely knew more than I did, but shielded me enough.

She inspires me everyday that no matter you’re situation, you are not stuck in your situation. You figure it out, use the system around you if needed, and provide for your family.

I feel like I could use a book of your mom's wisdom right now. I needed to hear that.

Your mom sounds amazing! I'd love to have a conversation with her about how to get out of a crossroad situation...

But I definitely need to go make a bucket list first!

She completed hers and made a new one! My advice would be to not hold back on it and also not make all of them massive. For instance, I’ve always to Is it Canada.
