@SW-User it just wasn’t going to work
Out ... my parents were in failing health and I could not leave them behind . I had an offer to go a different way and stay at my university which was only a couple hours from
Home . I saw them a lot . As it turned out 4 1/2 years later they both passed . I have absolutely no regrets about my career path .

@TexChik Your parents must’ve been so proud to have a loving daughter like you 🤗

@SW-User they were my adoptive parents , and saved me from
My horrible life . They were the first people I ever loved ... and they knew how much they meant to
Me .
