    I don't think so. House and car are falling apart and I don't have it in me (nether financially or skill wise) to deal with these things. Whole world on my shoulders. By now I would have thought I'd have it somewhere figured out but I don't. They were rocks. They would come to the rescue of anyone in the family that needed help. Whatever the project, whatever the life event, they had a solution. I don't have any solutions and I lost them just as I was transitioning from college age to adult. I lost the play book for life, they aren't here to learn from and I'm failing hard at figuring it out on my own. Sorry to vent, just don't think I'm filling any shoes

      It takes a brave man to forge a new path in the shoes of those whose path has ended.

      I and many others have went through times like those. Things falling apart are not a sign you are not filling shoes,getting through low times are. Your grandfather and father I am sure knew this!
