Hi, Trista! It made me so happy to see something you'd written posted here on Medium again. Your thoughtful submissions and always uplifting words have been missed. Thanks so much for sharing so openly about your relationship with your parents and how you've been navigating these times. I'm always inspired by your positivity -- even when working through life's challenges. There are many of us out here in the Medium world who appreciate your writing and I look forward to hearing more about your travel adventures too! Warm wishes, Susan
