I am so glad that your Dad did call you. That is way more than mine would have done. For this be very thankful. Just keep on doing what you feel in your heart to be right. You only have to answer for what you do. We are here for each other, anytime.
I agree, we cannot pick our family but we can pick our friends. And many times it is our cyber-friends that we feel most close to. You people are great people! Thank You!
