I to have a parent who is ill and its hard.going back to school awsome great great for you.. wish I could do that I failed out and am afraid to even try again you have guts and thats a great thing good luck with the studies and let me know how you are doing. and yes soome times the illness will just take ahold and then you have to buck up and say nopoe goingto get the better of it and you will get the better of it . if you are in t then talk to your t about it if you are not aybe getting into it would help only you know the answer to that best of luck Savanahs........
