@Anastasia Sounds like you already have a lot of your father's wisdom up your sleeve. It is definitely a lot at once, but that is not always a bad thing ... keep thinking cycles of life and renewal... I need to shake off some of my old ways of doing things ... and embrace the new ... come what may ... leave my old fearful side behind and move on into this brave new world ...
Hugs
Apple
