I wish I could be there to talk about it with you. My mom disappeared several years ago, just moved away without leaving a forwarding address, and I haven't been able to find her. My dad is 80, and I talk to him fairly regularly, but he has Parkinson's and is not the man he used to be, and it's only a matter of time. My sister and I get along quite well, but my brother refuses to speak to me, as do both of my daughters.
Not trying to outdo you in the downer department, just saying that I sympathize, empathize and understand. And I really do wish we could sit down and talk.
