Yep, we can do it. We can live with this and continue on. You have pulled off what sounds like a successful party for your Mum...that is great Johnny.

I pulled off a whole year of academic study, finished up with mostly A's (I know not how!) and one or 2 new and kind friends. Without going completely barmy!

We can manage our lives, and in fact thrive if we keep looking forward. Doesn't mean there won't be really tough time along the road.....but it can be done, and eventually done well.

Nice work Johnny!
